It was 23 degrees, cold and dark. I was leaving Cleveland in the dead of a cold winter’s night. I’d been invited by BFGoodrich to the unveiling of their newest, ultra-high performance summer tire, the BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2. Oh, and the event was being held in sunny southern California. It didn’t take much convincing to get me on the plane.

The COMP-2 is BFGoodrich’s answer to the new breed of high-tech ultra-high performance tires on the market. Three years in the making, the new tire uses a new silca-infused rubber compound and reinforced internal structure to improve grip in all situations. In comparison to the other leading tires in this category, the BFG claims a 30% increase in grip in wet conditions while maintaining an 8% lead in the dry.

BFG is going for the enthusiast aftermarket where tire performance and looks trumps most other factors. With over 50 diameter and width combinations available, it’s designed to fit most foreign and domestic sports cars.

Fast forward 32 hours to the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, California. 67 degrees and dry as a bone, the perfect weather to put the new tire to the test. BFGoodrich had prepared several different events for us to try out the new g-Force Sport COMP-2, and better yet, to compare it to the competition. For every car clad in the new COMP-2s, there was at least one other car of the same model shod in Yokohamas, Coopers, Hankook, and other leading brands. We had the opportunity to test back-to-back the BFGoodrich offering against the industry leaders.

By “we,” I mean some of the biggest names in the automotive press: Car & Driver, Autoweek, Hot Rod Magazine, and of course, Bullz-Eye. I have to say I was more than a little intimidated by my peers. I have no illusions about my driving skills; I’m enthusiastic, but in no way experienced. The one goal I had during the whole event was simply to NOT make a fool of myself.

The 15th Annual Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant that we covered last year is the gift that keeps on giving.

Today we’re featuring another contestant that we met at the event, the beautiful Ashley Palmer. Hooters gave us poolside access at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach where we met and photographed some of the contestants in their bikinis. Ashley showed off her amazing figure on a hot day in the Miami sun.

Showcasing both the glamour and the grit of college spring break capital Fort Lauderdale, the Ventures Capital Partners production of the feature film “Exposure” started filming on location this past month. Bullz-Eye’s own Featured Model Rose Chiauzzi has been cast in one of the lead roles as Kira.

Rose plays a sexy, somewhat inexperienced glamour and swimwear model for the Exposure model agency, a cover for diabolical genetic mutations in this suspense thriller. You can see Rose on location in the slideshow above, along with beautiful Jamie who will also appear in the film and will be featured later this month on Bullz-Eye.

Corey Feldman stars as the chief bad guy in “Exposure,” and the film will showcase some of the thrilling nightlife and venues from all over South Florida, along with the more sinister elements that only good thriller can provide.

Rounding out the cast is Konstantine, playing the henchman Damien, and Savanna Samson, former adult film starlet turned vineyard connoisseur and bottler. Seen here are some behind the scene shots caught at several shoot locations, including the top nightclub/ restaurant Vibe located on tony Las Olas Blvd, along with the rough and tumble Monterey Club on south federal highway.

Look for more coverage in the upcoming weeks as feature film production will be showcasing more Bullz-Eye models and some great sights from sunny south Florida.

When you travel to England, you expect to find some beautiful blondes, and we struck gold when we had the chance to photograph Gemma and Lucy on a trip to England back in 2007. If you follow their links you can see that they both were featured in Girl Next Door features here on Bullz-Eye.com, and they both look amazing in their bikinis, lingerie and other sexy outfits.

As you can see we were able to photograph the two of them together in various outfits and sets, and the beautiful red car is a Ferrari. Naturally we all love girls and cars.

After the holidays it will be a great time to travel to England if you’re fine with the colder weather so check out flights if you want to schedule a trip. If you’re traveling to Great Britain, we can assure you that you will see many lovely ladies like Gemma and Lucy. The women there are very fun and incredibly polite. Just treat them well!

PlayerXT is gearing up for its annual Most Beautiful Latina Search which will be held on the weekend of January 7th and 8th, 2012, at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Palm Springs. We’ve had the pleasure of attending this great event for the past several years, and as you can see from the slideshow above we discovered some amazing Latina models.

Festivities will run all weekend, including a press conference and Fantasy Fubol Shoot Out. Those events open to the public are a Welcoming Party in Club 360 on Saturday night starting at 9:00 PM, and the Most Beautiful Finals Showcase in VIBE Nightclub on Sunday night starting at 7:00 PM.

The International Latina Beauty Pageant will feature 20 beautiful models representing the Latin countries of the world. Latin singing sensation Baby Bash will help ring in 2012 with a New Year Celebration of Latin Heritage, Talent, Music and Beauty with a special appearance. His new single, Slide Over, featuring Miguel is currently impacting on rhythmic radio. Bash will also help judge the Search Finals.

Bash will be joined by the beautiful 19 year old Latina singer songwriter, Jordyn Taylor, whose hit single Accessories won her critical acclaim when her song was included in the soundtrack of the movie Shopaholic with Lady Gaga.

The talent showcase will also feature Peruvian DJ Stephanie Loayza featured in Maxim, Playboy and FHM; Salvadorian recording artist and reality star, Jazmin Siguenza, who was recently featured in Bullz-Eye; Central America’s Got Talent finalist, Bullz-Eye Featured Model Angie Quesada from Costa Rica, winner of the Costa Rica Search for the Most Beautiful Latina; rock violin virtuoso, Esther Anaya of Columbia; and other up and coming Latina artists.

As you can see from our slideshow, the beautiful models featured at these events will take your breath away. Above we have featured 1-Carolina, 2-Cristy, 3-Mitze, 4-Olinda, 5-Elody, 6-Kimberly, 7-Pamela and 8-Ericka.

You can make reservations at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa for that weekend if you want to join the festivities. Enjoy beautiful Latina models and great performers along with the luxuries of a beautiful casino resort in Palm Springs. Palm Springs is a popular weekend destination spot for people in the LA area, and it’s a great getaway if you want to escape the January cold.

The first thing you notice when entering a gentlemen’s club is the quality of the talent. When I walked into Rick’s Cabaret in New York City recently for a night of fun and relaxation, I saw exactly what I expected from an upscale gentlemen’s club – tons of beautiful girls! You can have a great location and plush décor, but none of that matters without the entertainers.

Once you’re surrounded by eye candy, you can sit back with your drink and really get the feel for a place. Finding decked out, upscale clubs in New York is easy, but the atmosphere can vary greatly. At Rick’s I found a fun and relaxed atmosphere that put me at ease immediately. I noticed it right away with the attitude of the girls and the staff, and the cozy feel of the venue added to the experience. The idea is to have fun and everyone at Rick’s Cabaret gets it.

The tone is set in large part by Lonnie Hanover who is a legend in the New York nightlife scene. Howard Stern fans will recognize him as the guy who always takes care of Howard and the crew from his show. When they need a night on the town, Lonnie handles it, and they’ve been coming to Rick’s ever since Lonnie moved there. Lonnie knows how to show people a good time and celebrities from all over flock to Rick’s because they know Lonnie will take care of them. Anyone looking for privacy can request entrance through one of the side doors direct to the private VIP suites. But this sense of hospitality permeates the culture at Rick’s so that every customer is treated well and everyone there wants you to have a good time.

The girls working at Rick’s are simply gorgeous and there’s something for everybody depending on your taste with plenty of bikini models and fashion model types mixed in with the sexy girl next door. The key is that they’re all very friendly which you don’t always find in the upscale clubs.

With the decked out venue with 10,000 square feet and classy atmosphere, Rick’s Cabaret is naturally a great spot for entertaining business clients as well. The club features a great steakhouse so you can make a full night of it and the VIP area on the top floor is second-to-none. Throw in the smoking deck on the roof and great views of the city and you can indulge in anything you like. But you don’t have to break the bank to have a great time here. The atmosphere throughout the club makes it an ideal spot to party with a group or spend some quality time with one of the entertainers. Their website features daily specials including lunch and drink deals.

They also come up with great promotions like Rick’s Basketball Association during the NBA lockout. Check out the pics in the slideshow above where former NBA star Spud Webb is introduced as coach of Rick’s Cabaret/New York City team. “The girls love Spud,” said New York team member Sky. “We picked him to be coach because he’s such an inspiration to people.” The New York team will be playing against teams of dancers from the Minneapolis Downtown Cabaret and Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami. That should be fun!

There’s nothing worse than paying the cover at a gentlemen’s club and then being disappointed when you walk in. Some clubs just don’t have the girls, while others can create an upscale environment but take all the fun out of the experience. That’s not a problem here. Based on what we saw in New York, you’ll love Rick’s Cabaret.

“This will be our best run yet!” Brett David announced, and he was right. An impressive collection of the most exotic supercars ever assembled in Miami were idling in front of him. With the support of the Miami Police Department, and with the most remarkable turnout to date, Brent and staff knew the event was a huge success. On October 15th, Lamborghini Miami, the largest and most prestigious Lamborghini dealership in the USA, hosted the Key Largo Supercar Run Weekend. Bullz-Eye was invited to cover the event on a lovely fall day in North Miami Beach. This event was primarily created to support the Ride 2 Revive Foundation.

This charitable foundation, the brain storm of dealership owner Brent David and benefiting terminally ill children with cancer and different diseases, was instantly well received by all in attendance, and the donations poured in that day. This “supercar run” went from the expansive dealership at 14790 N. Biscayne Blvd., N. in Miami Beach to the trendy and contemporary Ocean Reef Yacht Club off of Key Largo. This Yacht basin was the perfect venue for this supercar run destination, and the buffet and cocktail hospitality services upon arrival made for a remarkable day.

This supercar run had an incredible flagship vehicle, and that’s a true understatement. The 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, was THE supercar of the event, and piloted by Brett himself. Bullz-Eye previewed the new Aventador earlier this year. As one of the most powerful stock production sport cars in the world ever produced, this car is completely outrageous. 700 hp with a top speed of over 214 mph is just a start for this flat black “stealth bomber” of a Lambo. In the slideshow above and in character is Lambo repair specialist Johnny of JCM performance. The event was Halloween costume optional, and he fit the “Joker” to the T! Look for his upcoming reality show “South Florida Toys” soon on nationwide broadcast.

One of the most impressive features and activities was the departure “event,” when 68 of the most high performance vehicles on earth blasted out of the Miami Lamborghini Dealership south on Biscayne Blvd. Like last year, this Miami artery was fully blocked by the Miami Police Department, and off they went in hazy cloud of burning rubber and brute horsepower displays! Wow! I’ve seen a lot on the road over the years but $30 million worth of sports car rock n roll on the public roads impressed even me!.

Lest you think they went all the way to Key Largo at 165 mph+, this was definitely not the case. It was 163 mph! Sorry, just kidding. The unofficial pace car rate for this entourage to Key Largo was not official publicized, but when you have the City Of Miami Police as your escort, 55 mph was not a mandate! Needless to say, this happy and safe Fun Run allowed exotic car owners of all types an afternoon to enjoy their cars, the open road and all to benefit a great cause – The Ride 2 Revive Foundation!

We’re introducing our new Double Trouble series where we feature photos of two of our models posing together. Here we have Jennie and Roxana in a set we’ve pulled from the archives taken in the Bahamas back in 2007 from our coverage of the American Dream Girl Pageant. Here we have both girls in their Bullz-Eye shirts and bikini bottoms hanging out in the billiards room at the incredible NYGÅRD Cay resort owned by Peter Nygård. Both girl look amazing in this tropical paradise and you can see much more of them in their Bullz-Eye Girl Next Door shoots.

Jennie is a beautiful brunette with an all-natural, all-American look. She was featured as our Girl Next Door for April 2007. Roxana is a blonde beauty from the South who has an amazing accent to go along with her sexy smile and she was featured in May of that year.

Enjoy the slideshow and check out their galleries for more.

We’re having a great time at the 2011 LA Auto Show, and naturally we’ve noticed all the beautiful booth babes helping to promote the new cars.

Check back as we hope to upload more photos tomorrow.

The Honda CR-V has been a consistent leader in the entry CUV market category for years. This category is exploding in popularity and more carmakers are introducing crossovers to compete in this space. With the all new 2012 model Honda has updated the CR-V and this fourth generation should help the company hold on to its leadership position. We traveled up to Michigan on a crisp November day to test drive the new CR-V and came away very impressed.

Exterior

As you can see from the photos, the updated design looks great. The front grille and wrap-around headlights are a nice improvement over the previous model. The overall look is more aerodynamic which also improves performance. The lines of the vehicle are much more aggressive and dynamic and should be a hit with buyers.

Interior

The most impressive feature of the interior would be the new one touch fold-down rear seat. The Honda engineers have crafted a clever method that has the 60/40 rear seats automatically fold down simply by the pull of a cord at either the side of the seat or a lever at the top of the seat. The lower seat cushion automatically pops up and the headrests and backside of the seat fold down and disappear below it. The result is a best in class cargo area.

I really liked the center stack and the overall feel of the dash. The new CR-V also has new high-tech features as all models include a Bluetooth HandsFreeLink phone interface (previously an available feature), a full-color intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID), a multi-angle rearview camera and an SMS text messaging function. Honda has also introduced Pandora Internet Radio as well. Many more features like the nav system are available as options.

Performance

The new CR-V sports a more efficient engine design with improved horsepower and torque, along with an all-new Real Time All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) with Intelligent Control System™. It’s powered by a 2.4-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine with 185 horsepower and 163 lb-ft. of torque and has a standard 5-speed automatic transmission. As I drove the CR-V through the back roads in Michigan I was consistently impressed with the performance and handling. The vehicle has good acceleration and responsiveness and zips around corners with ease.

The CR-V also features best in class fuel economy with 23/31 MPG for the two-wheel drive and 22/33 for the AWD. Another interesting addition is the white-to-green ambient light on the dashboard. As the light moves to green the driver knows that the current driving patterns are resulting in better fuel economy.

Overview

The new CR-V is fun and functional, so I expect it will continue to have very broad appeal, with active singles and young couples being primary targets. It goes on sale on December 15th and you should check it out.
