Grease Rag is collaborating with Minneapolis Affair with another photoshoot this Thursday, 5/26!!

The Grease Rag blog post is here, but these are the main deets:

Thursday, May 26th, from 4-6PM
Minneapolis Affair photoshoot
Meet at the 10th Ave. exit off of the Midtown Greenway (right by Freewheel) and get your photo taken!


I hope to get more WTF cyclists out for this photoshoot than we had last time. The first photoshoot we did was kind of chilly, and the forecast for this Thursday is promising.

The motivation behind taking these photos is to create more positive images of WTFs on bikes. We want photos of you as you are! Riding your bike on your way home from work, on the way to a happy hour, or to check out the trails at Theo Wirth. Wherever you’re going or whatever you’re doing, or whatever you are wearing- if you are on a bike, you’re doing it right! We hope to capture a range of cyclists, all of which are awesomely beautiful.

Isn't the question what bike to bring?

It's Thursday, so orange and black if you want to match the bike. Otherwise, favorite jersey? If the timing works out, I'll ride over with you. It's on my way home.

Also, that would fulfill my dream of starting a babe delivery service.

I don't think I can make this. Could one of you please place a life-sized cardboard cut-out of me in the background or wear a Jenn mask? You can use my image for either from this photo.


I am bummed I can't do it.

Need high-res!

Don't sweat it, we'll be having more of these in the future. I do hope you can make it to one of these though- Wynona shoots really beautiful portraits. I'm delighted that she allows us to post them and use the photos. Minneapolis Affair licenses their photos so you can use them for whatever as long as you give them credit. I think that's pretty rad!

What happened to your ad copy? It showed up in my email.

And that of course raises the question, "what should I wear?"
(This babe only comes fully clothed.)
