If you're a fan of my blogs, you know I love strong, smart female leads–Veronica Mars, Elena Michaels, Rachel Black–so you bet I cannot wait until November 20 for Netflix to drop the first season of Jessica Jones!
Krysten Ritter stars as Jessica Jones, with Carrie-Anne Moss and David Tennant.

Woolfy's "Looking Glass"
When I write, I often play on repeat a song or two that keeps me focused.

Bob Mizer's 700,000 35mm Transparencies Need You
If you love male models in the fashion and advertising world, now's your chance to help preserve the archives of the man who nearly all by himself invented the concept of male model in 1940's Los Angeles, California.
As you can read in this interview on the blog, Bob Mizer of the Athletic Model Guild was a prolific photographer and filmmaker. In his lifetime, he produced over 1,000,000 negatives, slides, prints and films.
Dennis Bell, the current owner of the Athletic Model Guild and founder of the Bob Mizer Foundation (a 501(c)3 non-profit), is cataloging and archiving every single image and will eventually make the entire collection available for viewing by the general public.
His current Kickstarter campaign is to help finance the proper storage of Mizer's 700,000 35mm transparencies. Yes, you read that right: 700,000.
Money raised by the Foundation pays only for supplies, such as the archival sleeves for negatives and transparencies. Volunteers and interns provide the necessary labor.
If you're a fan of vintage physique photography and/or classic Americana, now's your chance to give what you can to help preserve this precious historical treasure. Because the Bob Mizer Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit, your donation is tax-deductible.
For more information about Bob Mizer, please see the Foundation's website.
You can help support the Bob Mizer Foundation by donating directly at its Kickstarter campaign and website.

Guild and the Foundation, including its mailing address for your
donations and updates on gallery shows, screenings and lectures.

Sandy Beach Road in Vallejo, California
My partner, Phil, and I recently attended a party in Vallejo, California on Sandy Beach Road, which is mostly a long dirt trail. All of the waterfront homes there are built over the Napa River.
We were amazed to see playing at the house party this short film uploaded to YouTube by the GLBT History Society. It was created in 1947 by an amateur filmmaker. The houses are better constructed today, but this is very much how Sandy Beach Road remains some seventy years later.

SK and Calla Cover Sam Smith's "Stay With Me"
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Twitter is amazing.
That's how I met SK. I really enjoy the cover he and Calla (aka Brandon Calladine) do together of Sam Smith's smash hit, "Stay With Me."
This video was shot while SK was visiting Calla in Perth, Australia. Be sure to follow SK and Calla on Twitter.
