Arrrrrgh!.......I gotta change my Will!

We've got three Teenage Grandsons who all play Guitar,and darned if those guys aren't arguing amongst themselves about who gets the poster when I die!

I may have to run down to the Photoshop and make them all copies!

Yeah; I know. Who gets the Original?

I could be buried with it I guess, but how do I explain THAT to my Wife!!?

Sorry, but she looks like an old broad with too many tattoos. Not my type at all. Too sleazy.

On the other hand, the ratrod is cool.

Hey! I grew up in the 50s and she looks just like the typical 50s gorgeous young chick to me!

Well, from a couple of people that I know that know her in her role as the Great Gretsch Girl, I'm told she is actually very sweet and a nice person, while perhaps not overly complex. That sounds like a winning combination for me, despite my normal resistance to tattoos.

I'm a very old school guy (I'll be 62 in a couple of weeks) and I also sport a number of pretty large tattoos. However, I know this will sound sexist, and it probably is, but I just don't find tattoos on women attractive. I'm sure Kim is a wonderful girl and without the tattoos I would find her attractive. but her tattoos just don't do it for me.

The old school rockabilly pinups from my past did not sport skin art. I believe this is the rockabilly revival idea of a pinup girl. I have no problem with that as styles change and what is perceived as attractive changes as well.

Marilyn Monroe would be considered "fat" today where the ideal woman is supposed to have the physique of an eleven year old boy suffering from malnutrition.

I think she's gorgeous- and so's the White Falcon guitar she's holding!! Granted, I may be biased, being female and heavily tattooed myself...

Cheers,

Andi

I am not much of a Tatoo person, but I happen to think Kim is adorable, in look's and personality.

Believe me, I have nothing against tattoos for men or women. My daughter has tattoos. I just don't find them attractive on ladies. I'm sure it has a lot to do with my age and the era I was raised in. I mean no disrespect to any of the tattooed ladies out there. I was merely stating an opinion.

I'm not big on tatoos, but I agree that Kim looks lovely. But for me- what was the name of that beautiful Nordic-looking girl with the orange dress that Proteus introduced us to at NAMM? Note that even though I can't remember her name, that orange dress is seared into my memory.

Bear, I'm not to sure it's age related. Hell I'm 17 and I personally find tattoos not cool.. (Not on men, and especially not on women >_>)

But that's more because I just don't like tattoos.. No idea why though

Welcome to Austin, Texas folks. That beauty and the shots were taken nowhere but Stubbs. Come on down and jig alittle! Dang, day after X-Mas and its 80 degrees. Have to go set up outside and lay into some music. Adios and 'appy 'olidays, JB.

When I met Kim, what she most liked to talk about was her two children – and her excitement and relief at finding in modeling a good way to support them. And she takes the modeling very seriously; she's made a concentrated study of the 'glamour and pinup' eras in American culture. She knows the clothes, the makeup, the hair, the poses. It's all very stylized and intentional, and I don't know how much it reflects anything about her personally.

In the Gretsch shoots, she's obviously going for the mid-50s pin-up look (modernized with tatoos) associated with one of Gretsch's several historical identities: the whole rockabilly thing. It's what the job called for; it's a 'role' she's playing.

I've met so many annoying, unpleasant women who didn't have tatoos, and so many sweethearts who did – AND vice versa – that I just can't draw any conclusions from the presence or absence of tatoos on a lady's skin.

Here's Ami Beth, who we met at last winter's NAMM. Very different look. Some guys drew disparaging conclusions about her because she wore moons and stars.

How can a girl win?

I came this >< close to inking people for a living! My cousin Kate had a parlor in town but had to stop because of complications due to diabetes. She lost a lot of her eyesight do to broken blood vessels in her eyes. I was going to buy her out but things being the way they were at the time I chickened out!

I think the porno chicks ruined tats for women. it seems that every woman with tats have that smudge mark on the small of their back. Seriously from a distance you would think they were rolling around in grease. I've seen some great blackwork done which is my favorite as long as the outlines are done thin! Too many think outlines and it looks to be smudgemarks!

Wow, this old thread again? I keep up on Ms. Kim via her myspace and she exumes(sp) nothing but CLASS IMHO. NO, I've never met her.

yeah. I thought this was long gone. She has awesome really semi-haughty and innocent eyes that speak volumes, which is the window to the soul.

Inked, not, in a business suit, or inked in a business suit, she is sweet.

Proteus- I hadn't read anything about her kids and taking so much interest in the genre before. Thanks! NOW I'm in love. A family girl on top of everything else. And thanks for the Ami Beth reference. Both ladies seem adorable, and it's all in the eyes of the beholder.
