FULL FRONTAL MALE NUDITY is proving to be verrry popular with TTS readers! The paper's only been out four days, and I've been absolutely inundated with requests for pix of Scotty Crane's hot bod! Now Scotty's Shaken Not Stirred co-host Johnny Seattle wants in -- I just got a full-frontal shot of HIM, too (with a decidedly military theme!). It took too damn long to mail Scotty's pic out to everybody, so I told the Stranger techies: "Put 'em on the website!" (Celeb Nudie Pics), duh. If you don't have web access, feel free to e-mail me.) 路路路 While I ALWAYS welcome celeb nudie pics (I'm starting a gallery), I'm particularly interested in sexy submissions from any Q13 on-air personalites (Oh, Lowell! I'm talkin' to you!), as well as any city council members. (Margaret Pageler need not apply.)

SPEAKING OF SEXY RADIO PERSONALITIES, I finally woke up early enough to hear Pat Cashman's show again (KOMO AM 1000, before 9 am), and with Lisa Foster back on board, it's laugh-out-loud funny. Pat, baby, you're a gas, but together you and Lisa make beautiful music. Rock on. And good on ya for keeping clear of Keister's new KIRO project. Now send me that nudie pic. (P.S. Hey Keister: HIRE STEPHEN HANDO!!)

FAMILY AFFAIR: Sarah was buying navel oranges at Pike Place Market, Thurs 1/20 lunchtime, when Metallica's Lars Ulrich cruises by... PUSHING A BABY STROLLER! His whole family was there: wife ("tall, beautiful," browsing for tie-dye T-shirts), son ("cute! with blond ringlets!"), and dad (sporting a long white beard). Sarah inserted herself into this idyllic scene long enough to ask for an autograph. Nice as pie, Lars smiled and signed "Lars 2000 Metallica." Uh-oh -- has the big, tough rocker lost his edge? Not to worry. Sarah sighs, "I heard him cuss a couple times!"

LIKE A HURRICANE: Late night Fri 1/21, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck (nudie pic wanted) wandered into the Hurricane Cafe, looking "shell-shocked" (as usual, hm?). Sevius reports, "Pete was with two frat boys, one of whom suggested that if Buck told the host who he was, they wouldn't have to wait for a table." The noble rock star replied, "Don't be stupid!" -- but his hungry crew couldn't hold out, and before long they blew outta there in search of faster food.

THE PREZ AND THE PIRATE: Kimberley spotted demure glassblaster Dale Chihuly Wed 1/19 at Town Hall, where saintly Southern gentleman Jimmy Carter held forth on humanitarian topics. Dale and his VIP entourage were escorted to center (but not front-row!) seats in the sold-out house. When the beloved ex-President left the stage, Chihuly pursued him through the stage door. But I guess there was a backstage dress code, because it seems Dale got the boot after just a couple of minutes! 路路路 What I wouldn't give for a Dale Chihuly nudie pic.... Hey! Why not get sponsors on board and award PRIZES?! WOW!! Let's see what our marketing poobah Kevin can dig up!
