JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE

Hey Guys,

Many of you have asked us how we do, what we do. We always try to come up with answers that make us sound "professional" but the truth is... we're kinda not sure.

Today however, thanks to our dear friends at Metal Hammer, we finally have some answers for you (...and ourselves for that matter).

Remember waaaay back when we posted about the kick-ass Slipknot-Metal Hammer collabo we did? Well, here's the "making of" video for you which pretty much sums up how we do it.

Yep! Just a typical day at the SMV studio...

SF WORKSHOP RE-CAP

Umm, better late than never eh?!

As some of you know, the entire SMV team headed out to San Francisco last month to take part in the annual Massive Black Workshop (and general debauchery while we were at it...when in Rome and all that!).

Anywhooo, seeing old friends, making new ones, instructing, learning, drinking...drinking...drinking were all on the menu. Oh and there was also some intensely incredible art being done there too- if that's what you're into.

Big shout out to the entire Massive Black Inc. crew, The Steambot Frenchie massive (...and Manny too), The Academy of Art for housing us fools and to all the wonderful and talented attendees!...

Oh right, and that bartender at the hotel who took Emily's belligerent pestering to keep the bar open after hours every night... Big up to you bro!

If you were there, thank you. If you were not, fuck you...but here's what you missed.

THE INCREDIBLE GERALD PAREL JOINS SMV

...And we're back!

SO Sorry about the delay Guys! Look, I know we've said this before but this time we're a little more sincere than before. We've been super crazy busy with moving into our new studio and all the terrible shit that can go along with it but we're back now and will be attending to our beloved blog on the regular again. 

Now, Are you sitting down?! Are you ready for your mind to be blown!?

The indestructible, French powerhouse that is, Monsieur Gerald Parel, is indeed joining his new band of brothers (and sisters) here on the SMV team! I know, I know...just breathe!

The man has had a massive career in the comic industry. He is creative like no other, paints like a Muuh'Fukkah and is faster than the Concorde. He also paints women so beautifully that our (formerly) straight SMV sisters are now officially, "Bi-Curious" (...and isn't that always exciting?!). On a personal level however, he's funnier than you'd think any artist could be, kinder than most human beings and his alcohol tolerance level makes us proud (...Sigh! Could he be more perfect!?). Our schoolgirl crush has just been elevated to obsession!

Yes, "Le Parel", the man himself. Not just his name, or doppelgänger. The real deal is officially SMV family. Our collective boner for Gerald has been strong for quite some time now (...can you blame us?) so you can only imagine how excited we are to have him with us.

Welcome to the family "G"! (...we're still working on your gangster nickname bro!) BisousBisousBisous! !

FUCKED UP FRIDAYS

After being inspired by Albert Lamorisse's absolutely beautiful 1956 masterpiece, "Le Balon Rouge" ("The Red Balloon"), we decided to be French for a day (OYO became a German just for balance) and make friends with some cool ass balloons in hopes that they too, would have a spirit of their own and take us on wonderful adventures of true friendship throughout the city.
Our inspriation...

However, after a few hours of trying everything to engage those jerks (...apparently, they don't speak English, German or French!) we realized that these balloons didn't have a spirit of their own at all!! They simply acted like "diva" balloons doing nothing but floating and being carried around all day. 


We then realized (thank you internet!) that it takes roughly 5,928- 6,558 balloons to actually lift a human being into the sky and we gave up. Still going to blame it on us just finding idiot balloons though.


"Le Ballon Rouge" belongs to Lamorisse. However, "Le Ballon Rogue" belongs to SMV...

FUCKED UP FRIDAYS- "CHESTICLE" NATION EDITION

Last weekend, here in our fair city of Berlin, was the infamous "Christopher Street Day" festival (or "Gay Pride" as some of you like to call it). The city-wide street party always ensures great fun, fantastic music, naked men and women and of course...shit loads of sex, booze, drugs and gayness! PARTYPARTYPARTY! It really is not to be missed.

Since we pay our Slaves (...oops! Uhh, I mean "Employees") just below minimum wage, Hagen, our dear Slut-bag of a Producer, decided to sell both his body and vodka to gather together some extra cash (...to pay for more sex and drugs of course! Hey, circle of life kids).

We're not sure what YOU were up to last weekend (...Ahem!)

...but it probably wasn't as exciting (or as Whore-ish) as Hagen's CSD-Extravaganza. 

And yes, those are nipple-piercings on both of his "Chesticles". What? Are you surprised!?! How many times do we have to use the word "Slut" for you to understand?? ...GEEZ!

FUCKED UP FRIDAYS CHALLENGE

Lately, we've noticed a lot of comments about our collective character (*cough...flaws) from, let's say more "normal" individuals of the general population. Admittedly, perhaps having a weekly segment called "Fucked Up Fridays" isn't doing us any favours...but we said, "PERHAPS" didn't we!?

In any case, It seems as though words like, "Sociopaths", "Personality Disorder"and "Devoid of all human feeling and/or emotion" are increasingly thrown around in conversations about us... we just never realized that these are considered "bad" descriptions (!?!?!)

We don't think we're that bad (...*shifty eyes*). But, just to prove it, the SMV team took an Emotional IQ test! That's right, we took the challenge to (try) and prove that we're not all complete psychopaths. Now let's see if you "norms" are right or not...

FUCKED UP FRIDAY CHALLENGE

Mission:
1. Correctly match the team members, with their scores below. For example: "Jelena is 'SMV #(X)', Ville is SMV #(X) etc."

2. Send your best guess to: info@sixmorevodka.com
(Subject: "FUCKED UP FRIDAY CHALLENGE")

3. The contest is open until the next "FUCKED UP FRIDAY" (June 22nd, 2012)


Grand Prize:
Whomever is the first to guess the entire team's correct scores will win an ORIGINAL (that's right, that means "one and only") drawing from ANY team member of your choice.
(N.B: To avoid disappointment, you probably shouldn't pick one of the producers...just sayin')

Here we go...


THE PLAYERS:

THE RESULTS: (each player's highest points are in Pink and lowest in dark Grey)

Good Luck Ninjas...

FUCKED UP FRIDAYS

Perhaps we have been a little misleading in the past, with the intentions of our "Fucked up Fridays" sessions so allow us to explain:

"Fucked Up Fridays" is not intended to only be about the questionable, deep-seated (...ok, ok fine, "borderline insane") inner workings of our combined sexual psyches. It is also intended to display the questionable and borderline insane (...happy now?!) inner workings of our everyday combined personalities.

Bottom line: We work too hard and sleep too little to remain "sane" people.

This week, we were talking about Human Centipedes - as one does- and what that would look like. We couldn't agree. The only thing left to do was to try it out.
