Mike_Boobs_Kari_BBQ_Memphis Boobs, Kari and Mike get their first taste of real Memphis-style BBQ. Boobs_Tammy_Kari Boobs_Tammy Beale-Street-packed This random man chugged his beer for us. Flashing my pearls, some peace and a some wicked duck lips. Mike was just looking for a ride, or to be ridden like a bike, I’m not sure which. Kari working the corner while we waited for Ulysses. Mike trying to pimp out Boobs. Mike getting Kooky. Tammy, Kari and Boobs at the Kooky Canuck. The burgers at Kooky Canuck are incredible. Mike found some sunglasses he really liked. I finally got to see some hookers, possibly. How many leopards were killed to make those pants? I think he’s looking for those girls. Shouldn’t have been surprised that I saw a mullet. She was rocking it. I think it’s a she, right? Kari thought Mike was going to pose with her. He wasn’t... He was just pushing his crotch toward her face. Boobs worked the poles just off Beale. That pole will never be the same. See how excited they are!! Mike wanted to stop here, but I wouldn’t let him because there was BBQ to be had.

What it looks like fresh out of the shower. This is what it looks like after it’s towel dried. Imagine waking up to THIS every morning! Rocking The Sunday Part. Tammy can’t look at me when I do this. But don’t I look smart?!?! The early stages of humidity. The curls are starting to tighten up. This is what it looks like after adding some hair salve. The Hat: It goes everywhere with me.
