Feel the force within yourself and take over our FUSE snapchat or send us a daring selfie, but be sure to drop by our mailing list for some FUSE stickers first. If you are involved in any special projects that you think would be a good fit for our magazine make sure to talk to us about being featured as our FUSE muse. The FUSE community continues to grow and we are so thankful for each and every one of you. Next month we will be welcoming a new member, Tia Alexandra, to talk with you guys about game and technology reviews. In addition, I am also stoked to be a new member to the team!

“To me sexy is all about how you feel not how you look. I could be wearing jeans and a tshirt and feel just as sexy as if I was in a little black dress.”
L
indsey Ann hails from the sunshine state, warm & sunny south Florida. Born and raised you can often find her in a bikini on the beach, paddle boarding with friends or taking in the artistic beauty of Wynwood. “I’ve moved around a lot, the gypsy in me just loves picking up and going, but I always find my way back to Florida. It’s home” This petit blue eyed blonde stands tall at 5’4” with curves of 34d-24-34 “My legs are extremely long for my height. People are always commenting how I’m shorter then I appear to be. I’m not short I’m fun size!” This all American beauty is all about family first. “I’m the middle child with 2 brothers but my whole family is pretty close. There’s about 25 of us aunt uncles cousins ect.. Growing up we’d always get together every Sunday for dinner at my grandparents house. Those are some of my fondest memories” Turn Ons: “I’ve always loved a man who is confident adventurous and can make me laugh. Someone who knows how to open my door, pull out my chair and make me feel special. I can be a bit introvert at times so I’m a sucker for someone who I

can have great conversation with and just an all around good time” Turn Off “In a world fueled with social media and Internet I can’t stand when someone is glued to their phone. While I love a good flirt if your trying to get to know me and I see you creeping on a bunch of girls that’s definitely a big deal breaker.” On sexuality: “I definitely look at myself as someone whose more of nerd then sexy. There’s a side of me that loves classic cars, Sunday’s watching football and drinking beer with friends & listening to loud and dirty rock music but then there’s a side that loves to be just as girly and get dressed up and pamper myself” “To me sexy is all about how you feel not how you look. I could be wearing jeans and a tshirt and feel just as sexy as if I was in a little black dress.” You can check out more of Lindsey Ann at Instagram @LindseyAnn Twitter @mylindseyann

THE PUNCH LINE
BY D. BEZRUTCZYK
I
f I had to tell you about it, and to be honest with you, and with me at the same time…
his femoral then iliac arteries. By the time the shooting stopped, theirs and ours, I didn’t want to look at him.
Doctor, if I could manage that I wouldn’t be here. But, fuck it, I’ll try. For my loving mother and my sanity, I’ll try to tell you the godshonesttruth about Bill.
I think I shouted “Esser” maybe a dozen times. I only call him Bill here and with his family--his name was Bill Esser if they never told you. But he was blacking out, so first I yelled his own name at him. Then when he was still alive in transport, we tried to talk. Tried. He could talk himself a little so I thought he was gonna make it.
I think the worst part was that neither of us saw him. None of us saw them coming because they fired first, from cover. Later, I did try to find the guy--though Martinez is the only one in our unit who could tell one haji from another. But I cut my way through Kandahar in a way that did make me feel a little better. But I never could point at one of their bodies and say, “Yep. That’s the bastard that did it. I got him.” But I also can’t say any of that would have changed anything. This is my job. So what if I used a little righteous fury to get me through a long day at the office? I’m sorry, Doc. That’s a lie. The day that Bill died, that wasn’t an office-type day. It wasn’t normal. We only had maybe a handful of those in the whole tour, and Bill dying took all the fun out of the two or three more times I felt like a real soldier. Honestly, I’d rather spend a hundred more rotations pouring concrete in the desert and building Afghani prisons than, you know… But I guess that’s the deal, right? I tell you the truth, my feelings and such, and you let Top know that I’m not crazy? Fine. Peenk. That’s the sound I heard as we reloaded into the humvee. Peenk. That’s the sound a bullet makes passing through human flesh and bouncing harmlessly--if you can call it that--off the vehicle’s reinforced metal. Can you believe that first one was non-lethal? Passed through his forearm but he could have lived. The next six caused real damage. His thighs took most of them; cut through

He said, “What the hell, Gunner?” That’s what everyone calls me. I carry the .50, I bring up the rear in marches, and I have a helluva last name so it stuck almost immediately. At first, I wasn’t gonna answer him because, you know, his being alive was good enough for me. But then he started giving me shit about Pollocks and silence, so I started to talk. It was nothing talk. I said I’d like to turn the entire country into a parking lot for the world’s largest Wal-Mart, and he laughed. Then one of the guys, Jensen I think, told us how he’d lost his virginity in a Wal-Mart parking lot and that from then on he couldn’t see one without getting a good boner. We all laughed, even our medic who’d been working in his equanimous manner over Esser, so I guess I never thought that that would be when he chose to die--very quiet and during the punch line. And even today as I say that, I wonder instead how good Jensen’s first time was that the sight of a supercenter gets him hard.

From the Author: D. Bezrutczyk Everyone I ever knew that was worth giving my life for was in the military. Everyone that I’ve ever admired. This includes my parents, my sister, and Kurt Vonnegut. I’m 26 and was born in Alaska, but I was raised mostly in Iowa, but also I went to college in Texas. Now I live in Florida. I write and model and cling to my day job. So it goes.

T
ell us a little about yourself: My name is Melissa Jean. I’m a freelance traveling model based in NYC. I have been posing for cameras for nearly 2/3 of my life. Traveling full time since 2009. I have modeled in 5 countries and 36 U.S. states, including Alaska and Hawaii. My specialties are art and glamour style nudes. When did you realize you wanted to be a model? In 6th grade I started doing photoshoots in my bedroom after school with my girlfriends. We took photos of each other using those cheap disposal cameras, making my mom get the film developed at Walmart. I still have all of the prints somewhere, they are hilarious, really classic stuff. What have you learned in this biz? I’ve learned how to be myself. I’ve learned that you can’t always please everyone. And I’ve learned that no one will work harder for you, than you. What are your favorite parts about your job? Definitely the freedom to travel anywhere in the world and make money, to make my own schedule, to chose who I work with. I also love when photographers are genuinely appreciative of my talents and say they learned something from working with me. That’s the most rewarding part.
57 FUSEMAGAZINEONLINE.COM
What’s your least favorite part about your job? The traveling, airports, sleeping in strange places, being away from home, missing my sweetie and my kitty cat. Also dealing with shady people although that doesn’t happen too often. What do you think about when you are modeling? I get into a zone and instead of thinking about what I’m doing, I start thinking about how I’m feeling. Speaking with body language and emotion. It’s almost like I go out of body because I can see myself from different angles in my mind. Looking through the lens is like looking at a mirror of yourself when you are aware of how you look to the camera. Sometimes I channel other models who I admire. It’s all about feeling. What advice do you have for girls who want to model? Learn how to do your own hair and makeup well. Practice in the mirror over and over. Network with hair stylists, wardrobe stylists, and makeup artists. Don’t be afraid to reach out to other models for advice and assistance. Be selective who you trade with when you are just starting out. Always check references for who you work with. Make sure everything is worked out beforehand. Be upfront, honest, and firm. Your word and your reputation are all you have in this freelance modeling business. Don’t take yourself too seriously and always have fun.
