Blac Gurlz Ink 2010 Butches of the Bay Selectees!
The Blac Gurlz Ink’s 2010 Butches of the Bay photo shoot took place this weekend and I must personally say that the wonderful energy of the models, the organic approach I take to photo shoots and Jennipur Jane’s (Ephemeral Studios) phenomenal eye, led to an amazing time and some great photos to work with for our 4th series release!
Our open casting call, which ran from April thru July of 2009 and which we posted to our website; Myspace page; circulated via our newsletter and flyers and spread by word of mouth, yielded quite a few submissions but due to location, date, time etc. — some were not able to be selected, however ALL submissions were placed into our Model’s Database for consideration for future photo shoots!
These handsome women represent a cross section of the submissions we received and the Blac Gurlz Ink Babes feel that based on the models’ energy, personal expression of their “butch-ness,” in addition to being simply handsome…well, we’re happy with our picks!
Now, if you’re thinking, “I dont see this or that represented?” Well, that means YOU need to model for us! In keeping with being “authentic” in our designs for the LGBT community, we will not use professional models and thus we wont ever “get” someone to “represent” you. And well…if you didn’t submit your info during the casting call period…well? Im just saying…
The Blac Gurlz Ink staff would love to get as many of you onto our quality premium greeting cards and
Thanking the Models - Outtake 2
gift items as we can! We believe “visibility” is important and we have tons of ideas for which we will be putting out calls for submissions — but why wait!
You can submit your information to model for us by completing our Model’s Submission Form on our website: www.blacgurlzink.com
Also, if you haven’t already joined our email newsletter list, in which we announce all of our casting calls, contests and fun information, what are you waiting for? *Click on the Join the BGI Network at the top of any page on our website.
