IT’S A LOT OF HARD WORK TO BE PRETTY! CHECK OUT THE GALS GETTING READY FOR OUR CHICKS RULE EDITION PHOTO SHOOT…

So, our Chicks Rule Special Edition is on news stands now, and we’ve only got one question…what the hell are you doing here? Get out from behind your computer and go pick one up! A lot of our distributors sold out last time, so…just sayin’.

Here’s the scoop: we shot at Masterson’s Kustoms, a really great little garage in Lynwood owned and operated by Brad Masterson. HE invited a handful of guys with some pretty spanky rides to come hang, have a few beers, and watch the magic happen. WE invited a handful of hot chicks with some hot bodies to come hang, have a few beers and MAKE the magic happen.Tim Sutton was ringmaster/shooter that day and with the expert help of his trusty photo side kick, Bret Hartman, worked a little magic of his own.

We also want to say thanks to the folks that were kind enough to loan us some really nice baubles for the shoot. Rad, one of a kind brooches from Bleeding Hearts Jewelry and custom-designed hot rod inspired handbags from Revamp Productions.

Sammy’s Straps. Ok. The dude’s got so many orders for his custom made belts and guitar straps that he doesn’t even need a website (but he does have a myspace page). His belts are uber rad…like hmmmmm-wonder-if-he’ll-notice-if-we-don’t-send-2-or-3-of-these-back kinda rad. His leather work is super reasonable for being one of a kind, and handmade. The belts start at only $75! We heart Sammy’s Straps in a big way. He also studded the vest, and our hot rod fabricating friend Renee Schroder did the paint job on it. It’s a really amazing distressed car club vest we’re going to put up for grabs on the new & improved Garage Magazine website after it launches! So keep an eye out for that.
