The yearly Maxim Hometown Hotties contest is down to it's final 10 girls. Final voting doesn't start until November, and I'm sure there will be more pictures an videos when voting begins. However, if you'd like to get a jump on picking out your favorite, you can head on over to Maxim and take a look at the pictures HERE.

This is a pretty straight forward site, there's beautiful women in small outfits showing you how to do things. Awesome.

I haven't explored the site, so I have no idea how good the how-to information actually is, but they seem to have a little bit of everything to choose from. The picture above is from the "How-To Build a Cyclorama Photo Studio With Ashley", and even though I have no idea what the hell that is, I'm still fine with seeing how to build one. It's educational, I swear.

Other how-to's range from possibly useful, such as "How-To Replace a Kitchen Faucet With Mandi", to simpler things like "How-To Avoid Steamy Mirrors With Tara". There's only about 15 videos so far, but it looks like they are shooting for weekly updates.

I'm a big art fan, but I'm more of the classic like-what-I-like type. So I never really care if it's by an unknown or not, just if it'll look good on my wall. This site looks like it might help in that regard. Here's the details:

Artexpo New York Announces Beta Launch of ArtexpoStudio.com, a State-of-the-Art Marketplace for Artists, Galleries & Publishers
 
NEW YORK CITY, (March 3, 2011) – Artexpo, the world's largest fine art trade show for over 32 years, announces the beta launch of its much-anticipated new website, ArtexpoStudio.com—an online marketplace offering art enthusiasts and industry professionals year-round, easy access to quality artwork by talented artists and publishers.

“ArtexpoStudio.com is not only a fine art retail site, it’s the new go-to destination for artists, galleries and publishers looking for solid information and tools to grow their businesses in today’s rapidly changing fine art marketplace,” says Artexpo CEO Eric Smith. “At the Artexpo offices, we get calls every day from people seeking innovative ways to gain exposure and get their work to market. ArtexpoStudio.com equips artists and galleries with the tools they need to navigate the art industry, present their work professionally and increase revenues, while giving art enthusiasts and professionals easy access to their work.”

At ArtexpoStudio.com, artists are given their own online gallery and secure shopping cart, from which they can sell museum-quality fine art reproductions—without any monthly fees. Artists retain full rights and can manage their own profits with ease. What sets ArtexpoStudio.comapart from other fine art websites is that it also offers an unprecedented level of image quality control: all works represented online are professionally archived in Artexpo Studio’s state-of-the-art Digital Archiving Studio.

“Many websites offer artists a platform to upload and showcase their works, but quality control standards run rampant,” says Robert Reeder, President of Artexpo Studio. “Artists are uploading files that vary widely in quality. Common issues range from insufficient lighting to lack of focus and inadequate resolution. Artists who may have perfectly accurate digital files of their work suffer when their images are being sold beside poor-quality images. Artexpo Studio has solved the quality control dilemma. Our fine art Digital Archiving services are on par with—and in many cases, surpass—systems employed by the world’s finest museums.”

According to Reeder, Artexpo Studio’s Digital Archives are the reason the company’s Master-Quality Fine Art Reproductions are a cut above the rest. Richard Riverin, a noted artist and regular exhibitor at Artexpo New York, could not agree more. “The clarity, the details, the colors… everything was outstanding in those reproductions. I never saw any other as good.” Yuming Zhu, another featured Artexpo artist, says: “ArtexpoStudio.com offers superb-quality giclées, professional staff, excellent services and very reasonable costs. I am happy with the open discussions with their staff regarding the adjustment of color. It’s hard to tell the difference between the original and reproductions!”

“Artexpo Studio has been three years in development, and we’re extremely excited to be unveiling these new tools and technologies for artists and galleries,” said Smith. “Artexpo’s mission has always been pretty simple: to connect talented artists with people interested in owning their work. Between our annual fine art trade show and the new ArtexpoStudio.com, we’re offering artists multiple channels of commerce, communication, education and exposure—everything they need to grow their careers.”

It's not even March yet, and Ask Men already has their Top 99 Women of 2011 out. Seems like it's jumping the gun, by a lot. Although I'm pretty sure most guys really aren't going to give a damn what year it is.

Again this year, I'm not really impressed with the top 10. No one on the list is bad at all, but I find it hard to believe that some of these girls beat out the 89 other women. I'm thinking Ask Men needs to do some kind of 50% popular vote, and 50% panel of men dedicated to the task, for next year.

However, you should really hit the site and check out all of the girls, and make your own opinion. You can check out all 99 at the Ask Men site HERE.
