we are the wunder beasts

wundered across this site and couldnt figure out its point or purpose apart from having groups of photos as the name suggests from “lastnightsparty”. Dont get me wrong, each photo is great and conveys a story whatever that may be – and of course theres celeb spotting to be done. Some web stalking and investigation reveals its the home of…

“Merlin Bronques, an elusive character who has made a boldface name for himself among scenesters on both coasts by photographing bared flesh, provocative outfits and gross exuberance at clubs and private parties.” as the long nytimes article states.

However this project has turned into a fully fledged business for Bronque. Club owners and whatnot pay all his expenses to get him to shoot their clubs/parties. Nice big promo for venue. People check his site to see if they made it in and Bronque gets paid. Sweet deal. Heres a few more links on it below and cobrasnake is a similar concept. and yeah its old news but hey if you end up being involved with Pharell Williams and make a N.E.R.D video based on your rep. well hey. good gig if you can get it.
