Living in NYC, it’s a rare spectacle to see a pickup truck, let alone one with an ornamented tailgate.  But down in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California it’s become quite the everyday occurrence, a phenomenon even, known simply as the Mexican Airbrushed Tailgate Mural.  It’s a visual celebration of values strategically painted on the business end of the working man’s chariot.  Not always beautiful, but undeniably awesome.

To qualify as a true mexican tailgate mural, the mural must be airbrushed and include at least one of 6 possible images (often in combination to achieve maximum flare): (1) the Virgin Mary or Jesus Christ, (2) a rendition of the owners pickup truck relaxing near a palm tree-laden oasis, (3) a mis-proportioned likeness of the truck owner’s childrens’ faces (4) a busty scantily-clad woman, typically posing on her knees (5) any Looney Tunes character, although usually Yosemite Sam, Tas or Tweety (6) Selina

If only all state could be southern border states… one can only dream.

Every dude (except this one) loves Halloween for one reason and one reason only – super slutty costumes that show a lot of skin. But this year, it’s time to take things to the next level: costume-less.

Instead of dressing up to show less, why not cut to the chase and just paint the damn thing on? Luckily for us all, that’s exactly what these lovely ladies have done. Sure, it might get a bit cold on trick-or-treat night, but something tells us both the tricks and the treats are going to be hell of a lot better if this trend catches on.

A note to all you “employees” out there, this one is mildly NSFW. Yes, these women are “naked.” But if the nipple isn’t nipple-colored, then is it really nude? We say no, but your boss might say yes. So don’t be a dumbass – think before clicking on this one – and don’t say we didn’t warn you.  Happy Halloween!
