Looking for local clothing models for The Gits store

I am currently looking for local men and women (and anything in between) who would like to be apparel models for The Gits Online Store.

The images on the site are over a year old now, and with new merchandise debuting just in time for the holidays...it's time to get some new pictures! If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and might be interested, please read the following:

This is not a paid gig. You will however be comped some swag and reimbursed for travel (depending on where you're coming from).
I am looking for men and women the San Francisco Bay Area.
Photos are done in a casual session out in public places. For example, our last shoots happened at the Castro in SF and in front of popular urban art. I am always open to location suggestions.
To get a jist of how your images will be used, check out the Gits store.
I will need people to model: black Gits shirts for men, black Gits shirts for women, white Gits shirts for men and women, pull over hoodies and zip hoodies. Messenger bags, and possibly one other item.
I have a pretty flexible schedule to work with, and will show you the photos before they go up on the site. You will essentially be wearing the merchandise and be your cool self. I am not looking for a certain body type, ultimately I'd like to have a diverse group of people.
Check out these images of examples of the kind of photos I will be taking:

Shoots usually take about an hour, including getting to the location once we meet up.
If you would like your name mentioned in the image, such as "Model: Your Name" on the image itself. This is a great chance to get yourself out there and add something to your portfolio if you like. The goal is to do these photos before it gets too cold, windy and rainy.

If you are interested and live locally, email me at Beccajs@gmail.com so we can coordinate the make it happen!

The album art of Tommy by Mike McInnerney

People often ask me what my favorite album is. Without much thought I am able to answer them. The Who's 1969 album "Tommy" is my favorite record of all time. The album artwork also happens to be my favorite. Recently I was thinking about the album and how it affected me in my life. I decided to look up the Tommy album art and was surprised that I was unable to find any of it. I could find the cover, but never all the album art inside. The Tommy CD comes with a booklet with lyrics and a series of different illustrations. But they weren't on the internet. So this blog will be changing that! I just took out my CD booklet and scanned all the artwork. There are two versions of the cover, one featuring small images of their faces inserted into the gaps in the central sphere. The other is just the original work. Executives at The Who's record label insisted on having the band members pictured on the cover, so that's why there are two covers. Pete Tow...

Revealing Ramones interview by Randi Marx

One of my long time internet friends and not to mention Ramones and rock and roll fan Randi Marx once shared with me questionnaires she got filled out by the Ramones. I remmebered reading them and finding them very funny and informative. Especially being a Joey Ramone fan, I found his particularly funny and interesting...and different from the other guys. My friend was nice enough to re-scan the original questionnaires and write about her experience meeting The Ramones. She originally had this posted on her site ArcaneHarvest.com but when I recalled how much I liked them she sent them my way. Please do not use the images without permission. They aren't mine, and I got permission to use them. Just had to put that out there! "I ﬁrst saw the Ramones with The Runaways. I can't remember the exact year. Seems like it was 1978 or 79. I saw them in Atlanta. It was so exciting, and I knew they would be my favorite band, along...

We need to talk about this: The Foo Fighters are "AIDS denialists"

Preface: I am a fan of the Foo Fighters' music, so this isn't intended to be a hit piece. I genuinely feel troubled by what I'm about to share with you in this blog entry. I had no idea about this until just days ago. Recently I saw a video that addressed celebrities with controversial beliefs. The one that stood out to me was Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters being "AIDS denialists" (which I didn't even know was a thing?) aka "HIV Truthers". I immediately had to look into this because it sounded just too crazy to be real (and you should ALWAYS be skeptical of things you hear and do. your. research.) An article that I felt was very thorough on the topic was " Foo Fighters, HIV Deniers " "Maggiore’s message has apparently penetrated the minds of at least some Foo aficionados. She says she has heard from many Foo fans since the show — one of whom, she says, now works at the Alive and Well office. “AIDS is a toxic disease caused...
