  • Kevin Slaten Did Not Take Show Cancellation Well; Gets Charged with Assault

    Kevin Slaten Did Not Take Show Cancellation Well; Gets Charged with Assault

    Slaten lives to explode another day.

    We should have known this didn’t go down quietly.

    A spokesman for the Webster Groves police department confirms that on November 12, they were called to the studios of KFNS AM-590 where they found longtime sports jockey Kevin Slaten in, shall we say, a bit of a state.

    “They’d just terminated his show,” explains Lieutenant Andy Miller.

    This is not Slaten’s first forcible exit from KFNS airwaves — read the saga of the first one here, which also explains why police getting called to his second ouster is no surprise. (If that’s not enough, would you like to hear him call the author of that piece a “liar, reptile of a writer”?)

    This time, Slaten’s show was cancelled over some racial remarks he made just after the election. He called black voters “bigoted” because they overwhelmingly voted for Barack Obama.

    “I think that black voters ought to be ashamed of themselves for voting that way because of race,” he said.

    The hammer fell on him hard. Slaten wasn’t technically an employee of the station, just an independent contractor, so he was told on November 12th that his show had been cancelled.

    That’s when things got ugly between Slaten and the director of technical operations, Scott Stout. Allegedly, Slaten started cursing Stout out, threatening him, and spit on him (the formal report isn’t ready yet, but the Post-Dispatch‘s Joe Holleman broke the story through a confirmation from Miller).

    Cops were called to calm things down. Slaten wasn’t arrested that day, but was charged with assault and turned himself into police earlier this week. He’s been released and is expected in court in January.

    Could a year cooling his heels in jail calm mighty Slaten down?

    I found the freakiest Black Goth Girl on OnlyFans

    I absolutely love goth girls. More than that, I love Black and Latina goth girls. And even better than that would be a Black goth girl with a healthy sexual appetite and an Only Fans page. And just when I thought this vision of chocolatey delight couldn’t get any better, the first post I saw on her page was her spread cheeks and a diamond buttplug. This cannot be happening. Am I staring at the Only Fans page of my next ex-wife? I guess it’s time to deep dive this ebony goddesses page and see what daddy Rushmore wants for Christmas.Sub price: $3.24 for the first 31 days ($3.51 after tax)

    Regular subscription price: $4.99 a month

    CONTENT (5/5)

    When it comes to goth OnlyFans pages, there are usually two types of pages. One where they charge you a lot but barely shows any nudity. And then there are pages that show everything and the kitchen sink. Those pages are my absolute favorite. I don’t go to Only Fans for Instagram content. I want the type of content Only Fans was churning out in 2020 when we were all horny and locked away in our houses. The page has existed since mid 2020 and maybe that’s why it has an old school nasty factor to it. When I think of Only Fans, this is the kind of spice I think of and want on my feed. Any woman who self describes as “your favorite goth cocksleeve” is more than likely going to deliver when it comes to filth.

    There are 184 posts on the feed. And almost every one of those posts has five pictures in it. This is why the media tab has 719 different pieces of media (543 pictures and 176 videos). Aki posts a lot. Some days we get up to three posts and then some days we get only one but every time we get content with the spice level of ghost peppers. Anything you could possibly want to see, is going to be present on this page. Boy/ girl, butt plugs, masturbation and squirting are all present in the most recent post from November and December.

    I went to check out her Instagram page and also saw something I wasn’t expecting. The majority of the pictures on her Instagram weren’t just a bunch of stuff I saw rehashed on her Only Fans. The outfits might have matched but the pictures on Instagram were tame. The pictures on her Only Fans definitely would have gotten her account banned many times over. The Only Fans is original content meant to make you harder than Trigonometry.

    CONNECTION (0/5)

    Oddly enough, even after being subscribed to her page for over two hours, I still hadn’t received an email in my DMs with any kind of offer. That happens so rarely that I forgot it could even happen. That’s usually a sign that the page is a single person operation and more than likely is the model herself. This is so cool that I don’t have a complaint about it because I know this isn’t some fake bot generating content on a programmed schedule to rummage my pockets.

    PERSONALIZED CARE (0/5)

    There is absolutely none. It isn’t promised nor is it available. I went through the whole page to see if I missed something advertising videos for ridiculous prices or dick ratings or whatever models promise to get money and none of it was to be seen anywhere on the page. This was the most amazing thing I had seen in forever. You’re telling me this page is basically charging me $5 a month to get all this spicy content for no extra hidden cost? I am going to wait a few days to see if something else gets sent to me.

    CONCLUSION (4/5)

    If you want to know whether you should subscribe to this page, then the easy answer is yes. The hard answer is you should have subscribed to it yesterday. The content is extra spicy and totally worth the price of admission. I actually loved everything the page had to offer and was pleasantly surprised by the things it was lacking. There were no offers for videos, or short films with barely any content for exuberant prices. Only Fans needs a mix of pages like this in order to keep its balance. I almost forgot that bargain pages seem to have hotter content than the more expensive pages on the site .

  • Award-winning trans OnlyFans model taught me about myself

    Award-winning trans OnlyFans model taught me about myself

    If you asked me if I am an open minded man, I would unequivocally tell you that I am. But when it comes to porn, I was as close minded as a Southern Baptist from Alabama at a Latto concert. I liked what I liked and I wasn’t going to look any further than that. But along comes a pandemic and all that time locked in my house sent me on some wild adventures. One time, I just clicked on a video and whatever popped up as a suggestion would lead me to the next video. It was a wild decadent journey but two women, Natalie Mars and Daisy Taylor, popped up and I discovered a whole new side in my brain. It has been a couple of years since that crazy day but today was a blast from that past when the opportunity to review Natalie Mars OnlyFans came across my desk. When it comes to trans porn stars, this felt like I was being asked to review the account of a modern day legend in the making.Sub price: $3.75 ($4.06 after tax)

    CONTENT

    This may be the site that I judge all the sites by now. There was so much on display and so much to choose from that I had to stop and come up with a plan to go through all of this for the review. With over 1,096 posts available, there was a lot to feast my eyes on. In addition to that, there were over 1,350 options for just media (1,194 photos and 156 videos). Some of Natalie’s content is not for the squeamish at all. There were some cock torture that I’m not particularly a fan of for any reason. I never like seeing a long metal rod inserted in someone’s urinary tract ever and people need to be aware that that will be on the page before they go poking around. There is also a little bit of extreme insertion on the page but Natalie’s ability to take pp in the booty is very worthy of a Ripley’s Believe It or Not investigation. There is some content of cock cages of different varieties while wearing some amazing lingerie and outfits. There was a picture of Riley Reid blowing Natalie from November 2023 that almost made me cancel all my meetings for this week to find that video. I took some time to search the Girl / Girl options to find this video. The instructions were to DM #FLOWERSLUTS to watch it! 15 minutes later, the 23 minute prize was available in my DMs for purchase for the very affordable price of $12. Natalie has so many pro and pro-am starlets and studs on this page that it starts to feel like content from a larger company being funneled to OF. The camera work and lighting and set pieces are top tier for sure.

    CONNECTION

    I checked my DMs and it was overloaded with so many options and content in the first few hours of subscribing. A welcome bundle of videos, a tip list, a welcome video as well as another recent video shoot offer. There was one video that I knew I wanted and only having to wait 15 minutes to have it ready in my DMs was a pretty quick turn around for a page of this caliber. I had no preconceived notions about this page being available like a smaller artist but I was actually impressed it took less than 20 minutes to get a reply.

    PERSONALIZED CARE

    The tip menu overflows here for her fans. There are at least three different options for dick ratings available. Written dick ratings were $20 while SPH written dick ratings were $25. But for those with deep pockets, you could opt for the $100 video dick rating. And while I could never be convinced by any woman that I had an amazing penis for money, the idea of a video from my favorite porn star does sound like a cool collectible. There also was text sexting available for $40 and video sexting available for $100. The custom videos are definitely way out of my league at $400 a pop but I am putting that on my Make-A-Wish list for when I find out I’m dying. Custom pictures are $160. I can tell you that these aren’t the most expensive customs on the market. Also, when you consider that this is a custom video of a professional porn star, I feel the pricing is actually a great price.

    CONCLUSION

    Let us just go ahead and address the elephant in the room. This page, like many, is not for everyone. Some people are not going to try a trans OnlyFans page no matter how glowing a review I write. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It truly is about preferences and this may not work for you personally but if it does work for you, I would definitely recommend you subscribe. This brunette beauty is working over time to churn out top notch content for her fans and it shows in the selection of content available for her fans. I just think it’s important to note that even for her fans, some of the content may border on the extreme to the soft core and everything in between. Every now and then, I come across a page that is actually really well put together and the content just pops. This is one of those times.

  • Recipe: Mama’s Oxtail Caldereta

    Recipe: Mama’s Oxtail Caldereta

    SARAH LOVETT

    Charlene Lopez Young and Darren Young.

    My family eats this over steamed jasmine rice, but when I’m too lazy to make rice (well, too lazy to wash rice), I eat this with a slice of toasted sourdough bread or some sort of buttered rustic bread. It’s so good! My favorite is when I get a scoop that has chorizo, oxtail meat and a black olive. It’s the perfect bite. I crave this dish every holiday season. I picture my mom standing by the stove with her favorite Dutch oven in her zone taking a peek into the pot. I still beg her to make this dish whenever she’s in town for a visit. It tastes like love and comfort in the same bite. It’s the smell of home and the smell of the holidays in one whiff.

    Ingredients:
    4 lbs oxtails
    Salt
    1 whole garlic, minced (or more, you can never have too much garlic)
    1 large yellow onion, minced
    ½ tbsp olive oil
    2 packs of the Spanish chorizo Bilbao, sliced (I add more of this because I love it)
    4 cup beef broth
    6 bay leaves
    5 Roma tomatoes (cut into wedges, seeds removed)
    1/2 tbsp ground pepper
    2 cups tomato sauce
    3 medium potatoes, quartered
    2 carrots, cut into wedges
    1 1/2 small cans liver spread
    1/2 cup green olives, pitted
    1/2 cup black olives, whole
    1/2 cup olive juice
    1 medium red bell pepper and 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips 1/4 cup fish sauce
    Salt to taste

    Instructions:
    Salt oxtails enough to lightly cover meat. Set aside. Sauté garlic and onions with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the chorizo Bilbao and stir. Add oxtails and sear till brown. Take out the Bilbao and set aside. Add in beef broth, bay leaves, tomatoes and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. My mom’s secret to tender oxtail caldereta is adding two metal spoons into the pot. I don’t ask questions — I just know it works! It’s like magic.

    Once boiling, set temp to low heat and let simmer for three hours. Continue to check on the oxtails every hour and be sure to remove any of the scum that has floated up or left the meat. Add more broth a cup at a time to prevent the dish from drying up. If it’s drying up fast, lower the temperature.

    Add in the tomato sauce. Stir it up for a bit. Add carrots and potatoes. Put lid back on and cook for another 45 minutes on low. Add in liver spread, the seared Bilbao, green and black olives, olive juice, fish sauce and stir gently. Stir until the liver spread is completely mixed into the sauce. The sauce should be thicker at this point. If it isn’t, turn your heat up a little bit.

    Add in the bell peppers. Cook for another five minutes.

  • Ask a Mexican: What’s up with Mexicans and their grooming habits?

    Ask a Mexican: What’s up with Mexicans and their grooming habits?

    Dear Mexican: I just don’t get Mexicans and their grooming. The men slick their hair with baby oil, gel or Vaseline, or just shave it all off. The women wear it in ponytails with a neon green hairband, or in pigtails, or wear bangs created with the biggest curling iron in the world. Do they see themselves in the mirror before leaving home? Do they realize everyone is staring ’cause they look bad??

    Tommy Toupee

     

    Dear Gabacho: Not only do we stare at our hair in the mirror, but we also blow kisses to our reflection and whisper, “Ay papi chulo, you’re más bonito than those gabachos feos.” If there’s one body feature that Mexicans can boast about — besides the glorious guts of our men and the asses grandes of mujeres — it’s follicles, repositories of the world’s hair DNA. Kinky, straight, curly or wavy, the Mexican head is pregnant with possibility, and Mexicans do everything possible to draw attention to what humans can do with a comb and three pounds of gel. Some hairstyles are utilitarian: The Mexi-mullet protects the neck from the brutal sun, while bangs allow our ladies to hide switchblades. Other styles, like indigenous pigtails or Zach de la Rocha’s frizzy ‘fro, sing the body Mexican. But the best Mexican hair involves Three Flowers brilliantine, the lightly scented petroleum jelly revered by generations of Mexicans for its tight hold, pleasant smell and a shine that rivals a flashlight; women use it to slick their hair into buns, men to sculpt Morrissey-esque pompadours. Class: Thy name is mexicano. Oh, and contrary to popular belief, no self-respecting Mexican man shaves his head: That’s the domain of pendejo cholos and their Chicano cousins.

    Dear Mexican: I am a nice-looking white girl with a great job and life. I recently starting seeing a Mexican guy, who I’m pretty certain I scare the crap out of. He has never dated a white woman before and seems very nervous around me. He also asks me about the education and status of my ex-husband and previous boyfriends. I really feel like he thinks he is not good enough for me, although I don’t know why. He is gorgeous, hard-working and so kind. I have never been one to care about what someone does, where they are from or how much money they make. How can I get this guy to see that I really like him as a person and just relax?
    Enamorada Gabacha

     

    Dear Gabacha in Love: The first draft of my answer to your question ended this way: “You want to soothe your Mexican man’s frayed nerves, Enamorada? Give him a blow job.” Thinking this was too glib, I wrote a second draft in which I explained the minefield of race and class that you and your beloved will have to cross. I noted that dating a gabacha is the pinnacle of a Mexican man’s sexual life, proof that he can navigate bedrooms as easily as borders. I cited the Orson Welles classic Touch of Evil (notice white-hot Janet Leigh is married to protagonist Mexican Mike Varga — Charlton Heston in brownface), and I considered norteño super-group Los Tigres del Norte’s “El Mojado Acaudalado” (The Wealthy Wetback): “Decía una güera en Florida/’I love you Mexican men’” (Said a white woman in Florida/”Amo a ustedes hombres mexicanos”). By the time I’d worked through all of that, I concluded that my first answer was best: Nothing eradicates ego and all of its clunky superficialities (race, class, culture), nothing says I love you, nothing says “Welcome to America” like an old-school blow job.

    Got a spicy question about Mexicans? Ask the Mexican at [email protected]. And those of you who do submit questions: include a hilarious pseudonym, por favor, or we’ll make one up for you!

     

     

  • Recipe: Budín de Pan Argentino (Argentinian Bread Pudding)

    Recipe: Budín de Pan Argentino (Argentinian Bread Pudding)

     

    Aldi Alarcon of Casa Gaucho.

    SARAH LOVETT

    Aldi Alarcon of Casa Gaucho.

    Originating from the need to use leftover bread, budín de pan is a traditional dessert in Argentina. Approximately 92 percent of present-day Argentineans are Catholics, those for whom throwing away bread is a sin. My grandmother shared her special recipe with me recently and explained that with its humble ingredients, including stale bread, it was one of the only ways they could afford to eat sweets when she was a little girl. Perfected for over more than 80 years and four generations, this family recipe for budin de pan is guaranteed to be your own little slice of heaven.

    Ingredients:
    Caramel:
    150 g granulated sugar

    Budín:
    200 g day-old bread, cut into two-by-two inch chunks
    1 qt whole milk
    1 stick cinnamon
    1 whole lemon, zested
    1 whole orange, zested
    2 whole cloves
    150 g granulated sugar
    6 eggs
    2 tbsp Mexican vanilla

    Instructions:
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

    In a medium-sized heavy saucepan over medium heat, add 150g of granulated sugar. Allow the sugar to slowly caramelize; keep stirring to a minimum to avoid clumps. Once the sugar has turned a golden-brown color, immediately pour into the bottom of a nine-inch round glass pan and tilt to coat the bottom and sides while it is still hot.

    Place day-old bread in large bowl.

    Add whole milk to a large pot on low heat. Add cinnamon stick, lemon zest, orange zest and whole cloves. Allow milk to warm and infuse with the flavors.

    Once the milk is warm, add 150 g of sugar and stir until it is dissolved. Do not allow milk to boil.

    After the milk is infused with your ingredients, pull out the cinnamon stick and cloves and pour infused milk over the two-inch chunks of bread, making sure to cover all the bread, so it soaks in the milk. Set aside the mixture to cool completely.

    In a separate container add eggs and Mexican vanilla and mix. Set aside.

    Add the cooled milk and bread mixture to a blender and process until completely smooth.

    Slowly add egg and vanilla mixture to blender with the infused milk and bread mixture and continue to blend until it is combined evenly. This is your budin mixture.

    Pour the completed mixture into the receptacle that you previously prepared with the caramel in the bottom.

    Place the dish containing the budin mixture inside a larger oven-safe receptacle such as a roasting pan, and pour water halfway up the side of the container (bain-marie).

    Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, depending on your oven. You may cover the top of the budin with aluminum foil, so it does not become too dark. Remove from oven once fully cooked and allow to cool completely.

    Flip your receptacle onto a plate to unmold your budin de pan and enjoy!

    24. Event Horizon (1997) In this sci-fi/horror scarefest, Dr. William Weir (Sam Neill) is a scientist who has designed a spacecraft called the Event Horizon that will explore the outer reaches of space past the planet Neptune; the ship employs a special transport mechanism that, in effect, creates a black hole that the ship can pass through, allowing it to travel tremendous distances in a few seconds. The Event Horizon mysteriously disappears in the midst of a mission, with no trace of either the ship or its crew, but it reappears in Neptune's orbit after a seven-year absence, and it's sending out a distress signal. The spaceship Lewis and Clark, and Dr. Weir, are sent to investigate; the crew -- Captain Miller (Laurence Fishburne), pilot Smith (Sean Pertwee), engineer Justin (Jack Noseworthy), navigator Starck (Joely Richardson), physician D.J. (Jason Isaacs), and emergency technicians Peters (Kathleen Quinlan) and Cooper (Richard T. Jones) -- are already tired and unenthusiastic about this assignment, and somewhat confused by Weir's reports. The crew of the Lewis and Clark are convinced that Weir is not telling them something, and when they discover the Event Horizon, they find that things are not what they seem, and an evil presence has taken over the ship. Incidentally, the term event horizon describes the outer boundaries of a black hole. -- Mark Deming

    23. Contact (1997) From our 1997 review: Adapted from the Reagan-era bestseller written by the late public-TV astro-populizer Carl Sagan, this account of the most benign interplanetary interaction since the heyday of E.T. falls somewhere between the golden anniversary of the Roswell Event and NASA's own summer blockbuster, Pathfinder on Mars. Mainly, however, it's a search for the lost daddy -- a spectacle at once laughable and glum. ¶ The orphan of Bedford Falls, astrogenius Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster), has developed her precocious interest in ham radio to an obsessive search for life in the cosmos, most pithily (if pitifully) summarized by the flashback to her prepubescent postfuneral shortwave plea: "Dad -- are you there?" Never less than earnest, even when enjoying a postcoital snuggle with resident hunk Matthew McConaughey, Foster battles the bureaucratic blob blocking her "journey to the heart of the universe," but seems most at home in the role of a grade-school teacher. She's a gracious fount of wisdom who ends the movie posed as Rodin's Thinker. -- J. Hoberman

    22. Cocoon (1985) Cocoon is a warm-hearted science-fiction fable that avoids becoming overly corny thanks to the performances of its mostly senior cast. Wilford Brimley, Don Ameche, and Hume Cronyn are three old-timers who sneak out of their retirement home a few days a week to swim in the large pool on an abandoned estate next door. When the threesome begins to feel curiously younger, they discover strange pods on the floor of the pool. These pods are alien cocoons, which are being pulled from the ocean by a team of extraterrestrials in human form led by Walter (Brian Dennehy), who has hired a local charter operator (Steve Guttenberg) to assist him. Walter explains to the seniors that energy from the cocoons is restoring youth and vigor to the older men every time they go for a dip. The aliens agree to let the men continue to swim in secret, but of course they can't keep their discovery to themselves. Soon the pool is swarming with retirees, with the notable exception of Bernie (Jack Gilford), who has no interest in prolonging life any longer than necessary. The aliens ultimately prepare to return home and offer the retirees eternal life if they leave Earth behind as well. Director Ron Howard treats his old-timers with care and dignity, and they respond with deeply sympathetic performances (Ameche won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar); the film's science-fiction trappings ably sustain the story's all-too-human ruminations on youth, aging, life, and death. -- Don Kaye

    20. Barbarella (1968) The ridiculously long tagline for the camp sci-fi flick Barbarella asks: "Who seduces an angel? Who strips in space? Who conveys love by hand? Who gives up the pill? Who takes sex to outer space?" Why, it's Jane Fonda as Barbarella, Queen of the Galaxy, of course. Set in the year 40,000, the film follows our sexy heroine on a mission to stop the evil scientist Durand Durand (and yes, in case you're wondering, that's where they got their name) from destroying the galaxy with his sexually sinful ways. Her journey takes her to the heights and depths of carnal desire as she encounters orgasmic musical instruments, a lesbian sorceress who can turn fantasies into reality, and hookah-smoking ladies who inhale the "essence of man." The film was a box-office bomb back in its day but has since become a cult classic, influencing many musicians, among others (such as Prince, Jamiroquai, and Matmos). -- Eudie Pak

    The ridiculously long tagline for the camp sci-fi flick Barbarella asks: “Who seduces an angel? Who strips in space? Who conveys love by hand? Who gives up the pill? Who takes sex to outer space?” Why, it’s Jane Fonda as Barbarella, Queen of the Galaxy, of course. Set in the year 40,000, the film follows our sexy heroine on a mission to stop the evil scientist Durand Durand (and yes, in case you’re wondering, that’s where they got their name) from destroying the galaxy with his sexually sinful ways. Her journey takes her to the heights and depths of carnal desire as she encounters orgasmic musical instruments, a lesbian sorceress who can turn fantasies into reality, and hookah-smoking ladies who inhale the “essence of man.” The film was a box-office bomb back in its day but has since become a cult classic, influencing many musicians, among others (such as Prince, Jamiroquai, and Matmos). — Eudie Pak

    18. Zardoz (1974) A resident of 23rd-century Earth becomes involved in a revolution after discovering the hidden truth about society's rulers in director John Boorman's sci-fi drama. Sean Connery plays Zed, the central rebel, who begins the film as a member of the Exterminators, a band of skilled assassins who exact a reign of terror over the lesser Brutals. The Exterminators answer only to their god, a gigantic stone image known as Zardoz. Haunted by doubt about Zardoz's true divinity, Zed chooses to investigate. His disbelief is confirmed when the god proves to be a fraudulent tool of the Eternals, a secret society of brilliant immortals who pretend to divinity in order to exploit the masses. Knowing the truth, Zed sets out to reveal the hoax and destroy the Eternals' unjust rule. -- Judd Blaise

    10. Mission to Mars (2000) Despite an ending that out-Spielbergs the master, Mission to Mars mainly coarsens 2001 in its mix of cosmic consciousness and "naturalistic" product placement (Dr. Pepper bloblets and multicolored M&M's floating around the cockpit). As in the Kubrick trip, the middle voyage is best. Halfway through, [Brian] De Palma literally explodes his narrative to orchestrate a superb deep-space float-opera replete with runaway modules, high-tech lassos, dramatic self-sacrifice, and, in the most surprising maneuver, a montage-driven modicum of actual suspense. -- J. Hoberman

    9. Forbidden Planet (1956) A dutiful robot named Robby speaks 188 languages. An underground lair provides astonishing evidence of a populace a million years more advanced than earthlings. There are many wonders on Altair-4, but none is greater or more deadly than the human mind. Forbidden Planet is the granddaddy of tomorrow, a pioneering work whose ideas and style would be reverse-engineered into many cinematic space voyages to come. Leslie Nielsen portrays the commander who brings his spacecruiser crew to the green-skied Altair-4 world that's home to Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter (Anne Francis), the remarkable Robby...and to a mysterious terror.

    11. The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) All of Washington, D.C., is thrown into a panic when an extraterrestrial spacecraft lands near the White House. Out steps Klaatu (Michael Rennie, in a role intended for Claude Rains), a handsome and soft-spoken interplanetary traveler, whose bodyguard is Gort (Lock Martin), a huge robot who spews forth laser-like death rays when danger threatens. After being wounded by an overzealous soldier, Klaatu announces that he has a message of the gravest importance for all humankind, which he will deliver only when all the leaders of all nations will agree to meet with him. World politics being what they are in 1951, Klaatu's demands are turned down and he is ordered to remain in the hospital, where his wounds are being tended. Klaatu escapes, taking refuge in a boarding house, where he poses as one Mr. Carpenter (one of the film's many parallels between Klaatu and Christ). There the benign alien gains the confidence of a lovely widow (Patricia Neal) and her son, Bobby (Billy Gray), neither of whom tumble to his other-worldly origins, and seeks out the gentleman whom Bobby regards as the smartest man in the world -- an Einstein-like scientist, Dr. Barnhardt (Sam Jaffe). The next day, at precisely 12 o'clock, Klaatu arranges for the world to stand still -- he shuts down all electrical power in the world, with the exception of essentials like hospitals and planes in flight. Directed by Robert Wise, who edited Citizen Kane (1941) and The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) for director Orson Welles before going on to direct such major 1960s musicals as West Side Story (1961) and The Sound of Music (1965), The Day the Earth Stood Still was based on the story "Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates. -- Hal Erickson

    OnlyFans Cougars Reviewed

    If you want a mommy who will take charge while also taking time to listen to you? Kate is the creator you’ve been looking for. She’s a pleasantly plump, curvy MILF who means it when she says that she wants to hear from you. Her page is free to subscribe, but she is up front about needing to tip in order to get her attention. She offers nude content and the full “mommy” experience for subscribers who are willing to pay the right price.

She’s a fit midwest hotwife with perky tits, and the kind of ass you want to bite. She loves creating BBC content, is kink friendly, offers dick ratings, and is devoted to her Snapchat. $50 gives you lifetime access to her snaps, and another $50 will get you 20 minutes of facetime with the woman herself.

    #3. Sophie Gendron (@sophiescorner) – French Canadian Cougar Who Bares It All

    If an accent and a little bit of French does it for you, then Sophie is the cougar for you. She’s 53, proud of her age, and isn’t afraid to get a little kinky for her followers. If she looks familiar to you, that’s because she’s a former model and an actress who wanted to be able to give her fans a little something more. Her page isn’t the cheapest on the platform, but she’s well worth the money. She also offers regular discounts, so if price is an issue, circle back in a week and see if she’s running a sale.

    #4 Melody Divine (@melodydivine52) – Silver Haired Cougar Who Swings Both Ways

    I never knew that I’d find myself turned on by older women with tattoos, but Melody has taught me that about myself. She’s a naughty cougar with silver hair who is covered in tats, and loves to showcase the vitiligo that she’s developed later in life. Her legs go the entire way to the floor, and I don’t know that I’ve ever seen someone look so mouthwatering in fishnets. She’s given birth 4 times, and there’s a level of wisdom that goes hand in hand with her content that will help you feel seen and safe while getting a little naughty.

    #5 Dirty Couple (@dirtycouple52) – Naughty MILF Eager To Share Her Spicy Sex Life

    There are couples out there who create decent content together, and then there’s Dirty Couple. She’s a 35-year-old content creator who married a younger man like the cougar she is at heart, and they produce some of the sauciest couple content you’ll find on the internet. She works hard to stay fit, and it shows! She loves nothing more than showing off her toned body getting fucked by her husband.

    #6 Mandy Bright (@realmandybright) – The Hungarian Step-Mom You Never Knew You Needed

    If you’ve ever had fantasies of having an Eastern European stepmom you could have the hots for, then Mandy is a content creator you’re going to want to spend some time and money on! She’s ready to put her giant bought and paid for titties in your face for the low price of a FREE subscription. She offers b/g, b/b/g, b/g/g, g/g, anal, and fisting content. She’s open to doing custom content for creators who are willing to pay for it!

    #7 Lee Quick (@tennesseegirl72) – Blonde MILF Cougar With A Big Mouth

    You know that classic Playboy pose where the model is nude aside from the leather jacket that’s covering her tits? That’s the kind of picture that got my attention when I found Lee’s OnlyFans profile. She is blonde, fit, and has some gorgeous tattoos that are revealed when she strips down. She offers solo, b/g, toy, fuck machine, and blow job content. She also offers sexting, and is open to creating custom content if the price is right.

    #8 Petra Daniels (@petradaniels) – Mature Silver-Haired Cougar With Tits To Write Home About

    Just because a creator is older, doesn’t mean that she’s not worth your subscription fee, and WOW is Petra worth it! She’s a mature creator who offers lingerie, solo play, anal, and feet content. She’s available for custom videos, but you’ll want to set aside some money for that, because she knows her worth. And those 38H boobs are worth a lot.

    #9 Dani D (@danimature) – Blonde Cougar Eager To Try All That OnlyFans Has To Offer

    Dani D is so excited to be a content creator, it’s one of the most adorable things I’ve ever seen. She’s a mature content creator in her 60’s who is living out her lifelong fantasy of being a porn star, and she’s doing a great job! She produces full 20 minute long videos with a male partner, and if you pay in full for the year, you get a free nude live session.

    #10 Smokey Chestnut (@smbdyuno_63) – Mature GILF With Knockout Knockers

    I have to say, I was profoundly surprised to see how perky the cans on Smokey Chestnut are. She’s a mature content creator in her 60’s, and she knows that her tits are still the bees knees. She’s not wrong, they’re fantastic. She offers daily updates— including video most days, and is a big fan of 1:1 chatting.

    Conclusion

    If you’ve been on the fence about trying out cougar content, there you have it! Our list of the top 10 best cougars out there who are creating content that you can tune in to, and enjoy to your heart’s content. With age comes maturity, and the lack of ability to give a fuck, so when I say that these women don’t mess around? It’s because they offer exactly what they want to, and they do it VERY well.

    FAQs

    Can Older Women Make Money On OnlyFans?

    Yes! There is widespread demand for content from mature creators on OnlyFans, and not even just for cougar content! People enjoy content created by an older woman who clearly knows herself well, and will happily pay subscription fees to have access to those content creators so that they can see what they’re willing to share with those who are willing to pay.

    How Do Mature Creators Draw Subscribers?

    It varies from creator to creator, but most content creators rely on social media to drive traffic to their OnlyFans page. Most mature creators are relying on Twitter, but you can find their profiles all across social media. Reddit in particular is a good place to find creators who are eager to share their OnlyFans direct link.

    Do Mature Creators Charge More For Subscriptions?

    It varies from creator to creator, but generally speaking, yes. Mature creators tend to charge more for their content than creators in other genres and age groups. The exclusivity of their niche and the uniqueness of what they offer allows them to set higher prices than creators in more mainstream niches. They’ve also been alive longer, and place a much higher value on their time than other creators do, so they charge more for the work they do.

    How Do Mature Creators Keep Their Content Fresh?

    The same way that most creators keep things fresh! They vary their content by offering different things, and trying something different. They try different themes in their work, or different role play scenarios for their subscribers to enjoy, which garners quite a bit of fan engagement. Mature creators are also often open to creating custom content for their subscribers, which also helps them to keep their ideas fresh and evolving.

If it weren't for all the booze, the bar's wooden decor and the ladder used to fetch drinks might make believe you were in a library. Quieter and more romantic than other bars downtown, Bridge Tap House would make a great spot for a first date, with an interesting cheese selection and smart menu from prolific restaurateur Dave Bailey. --Text by Kavahn Mansouri; photo by Jennifer Silverberg

    Start Bar 1000 Spruce St St. Louis, MO 63102 Start Bar offers something different downtown: a hideaway for nerds to do what they do best, drink and game. Start Bar is brimming with arcade machines, touting near the entrance the motto, “Coins rule everything around me.” The Wu-Tang would be proud of this new St. Louis institution, which was created by the owners of Wheelhouse. Head down to Start Bar if you need your fill of arcade games, fully stocked Nintendo 64s and pinball machines. And keep your eyes peeled — they're planning a pinball tournament soon. --Text by Kavahn Mansouri; photo by Natalie Rao

    Tiny Bar 1008 Locust St St. Louis, MO 63101 Bars can be big, small, narrow, wide, even two stories. But most bars don’t make their fun size their raison d'etre like Tiny Bar. The RFT's Best New Bar of 2015 sits on on Locust Street, in the lobby of the PR/marketing firm Elasticity, and is only 250 square feet ... in total. In fact, it's easy to miss if you're not paying attention. The small size also carries over to the bar's motif, with a mural honoring pint-size St. Louis Brown (for a minute) Eddie Gaedel. There are only approximately ten seats in the entire bar, give or take a few out on the sidewalk in front. Early bird gets the seat. --Text by Kavahn Mansouri, image courtesy of Tiny Bar

    314 the City Bar 1137 Washington Ave St. Louis, MO 63101 This laidback bar at the corner of Wash Ave and Tucker has a telephone theme and a full menu of food, but it’s meant to be a bar first and a restaurant second. You won’t find fancy cocktails, but you’ll find a chill neighborhood spot with a friendly vibe. Happy hour prices are about as good as it gets downtown. Photo by Samantha Dever
