ok. this being NYC, I recently had occasion to drop by a doctor’s office on the Lower East Side, and being such, instead of PEOPLE MAGAZINE lying around for bored waiting clients – the mag of choice was – INKED !! a tattoo chronicle.<\/p>\n

with nothing better to do – and bored out of my mind – I flipped through and what do I see on page 30 – the Ghost of Xmas Past !!<\/p>\n

\"dash
\na young Dash Snow. no mistaking the face – nor – the DAY OF THE DEAD ink. <\/p>\n

\"dash
\nit was used as a ‘stock’ photo in an ad – for tooth cleaning utensils for hipsters !!
\nthe good people of INKED were totally clueless as to who they had in the photo.
\nthere was no name, there wasn’t even a photo credit. Dash must have sat for some ink photog who sold his image – I guess without permission – duh – to shill electric toothbrushes. or maybe they just lifted it off the net.
\nwatch out – maybe your<\/em> Facebook photo will be – ‘orphaned’ – next.
\nhe is wearing a grill set – get it ?
\nof course the ink – is the best drawing ever seen on skin, no doubt. <\/p>\n

\"
\nbut one good thing, he is face-to-face – in mag world ghost life – with a hot babe – forever.<\/p>\n

\"dash
\nit’s on page 30 – someone else can dig for the dirt.
\nit was more than – enough, to stumble upon the ghost, for me.
\nthough if the DIA FOUNDATION ancestors actually set their high-priced lawyers on the trail – yeah – I’d like a finder’s fee. duh.
\nkind of like Dash’s way – of supporting the site – from afar. fat chance. but you never know – so I’m putting it in writing.
\nthey actually asked for my archival pix – for use – for free. another stingy story. what else is new.<\/p>\n

\"dash
\nsee: INKEDMAG.COM !!<\/a><\/p>\n

\"dash
\nit was just sitting there. waiting to be set free. <\/p>\n

\"dash
\nINKED JUNE\/JULY 2009.<\/p>\n

\"Dash
\nand, then a little further on, at the corner of BOWERY & SPRING, this new tag work – has to be for DASH.
\nD.S. R.I.P. 09<\/p>\n

\"DASH
\nand, what’s that . . . <\/p>\n

\"Dash
\nIRAK IRAK
\nNEW YORK NEW YORK.<\/p>\n

PHOTOS: NANCY SMITH – DEC 4, 2009
\nLOWER EAST SIDE, NYC.<\/p>\n

\"Dash<\/a>
\nread more about: IRAK & DASH & SNOW & DEATH\/GAWKER !!<\/a>
\nGAWKER has a bad habit – of not posting photo credits.
\nso, sorry no can do, as well. dudes, that’s how you end up with ‘orphaned’ pix – shilling electric toothbrushes,
\ndown the road.
\nfunny. how they think electric toothbrushes will go down well with ink aficionados !! must be that drill sound.<\/p>\n

want more pix – IRAK – the website – has been co-opted, but this is still a good link.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a>
\nsee: ALEX SINS – Fuck what ya heard! – DASH SNOW<\/a><\/p>\n

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR.
\nand, dudes. don’t eat the snow. white or yellow. bad fer ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
