pinuprockband

You hear them before you see them. The scandalous sight of three beautiful women – one crouched over a urinal, one hanging upside down from a partition, and one giggling uncontrollably in front of a cameraman. Jessica Lynn is the tattoo-covered 2008 Miss Greaseball. Zelda is a full time computer nerd fahionista. And Alana is a redheaded aspiring comedian who is posing for her first time… With Zelda on drums, Alana on bass guitar, and Jessica Lynn on vocals, the leather-clad pinup models rock out all night long to Wii Rock Band. Just add champagne.Jessica Lynn—Punk Rock Rebel“I posed with my ex-boyfriend’s ’51 Chevy, a bottle of Cuervo, brass knuckles, and a switchblade!” —Jessica Lynn’s first photo shoot (2006).“My love for tattoos, old cars, punk rock, and rockabilly, led me to befriend local photogs and embrace the world of pinup.” —Jessica Lynn, Miss Greaseball 2008, 11^th Annual Mobtown Greaseball car show and culture event“My most recent tattoo is on the back of my left shoulder. It’s a Weber grill with a T-bone steak on it over a background banner that says, ‘Dad.’ I’m into comical tattoos these days. My favorite tattoos are monster pinups of Vampira and The Bride of Frankenstein on the back of my calves.”“On one shoot, photographer Viva Von Story set up shop at a bar in northern New Jersey. There I was, crawling across the bar—topless—with an olive in my mouth. The bar back reporting for duty that day thought he’d walked into a wet dream.”“I’m Henry Rollins in the flesh. I’m as fierce and spunky as Gwen Stefani. When I’m a little tipsy and start messing up words, I definitely embody Duane Peters.”“Thre3 Hole Punch refuses to grow up and we’re a whole heaping handful of spices.” Zelda—Mother Lioness“We made fake blood out of shampoo, cough syrup, and food coloring, and we covered me in it.” —Zelda’s craziest photo shoot to date “Character acting is my favorite part of modeling.  I played Bettie Page, Maleficent, naughty librarian, rocker chick, and my first time role playing was with Jimmy C. I was Alias. Have you seen the television show?”“Pinup photography has also opened me up to another true love—makeup! I’m now getting opportunities to be a paid makeup artist.” “Pinup gives shy girls a means to express our sexuality in a way that is shameless and is viewed as art.” Alana—Fiery Wild Child“Forty years from now, when I use dye to maintain my hair’s sparkly red state, it will be cool to look at pictures and say, ‘Wow. I was kind of a knockout.’” —Alana, in a little girl voice that sounds progressively higher pitched“The scary black hole that is Pepper’s Tavern’s men’s bathroom! Eeeew.” —Alana’s first photo shoot “I’m fairly self-destructive. Like hooking up with an ex-boyfriend, vodka seemed like a brilliant idea that night, but the next morning was a mixture of remorse and resisting the urge to vomit.”“I think every girl should continually try new things, especially those that build confidence and make you feel sexy at the same time. Those are such important aspects of being a woman.” “I live, breath, and eat ROCK BAND! If you’re at a Wii party with Thre3 Hole Punch, don’t expect much game time. We don’t play nice with others.”  “We not only have a band name, tag line, and gang hand sign, but we also have a roadie, manager, tour bus driver, merchandise guy, bodyguard, tour bus, and we’ve selected the name of our first album.” “I’ve been told my voice resembles that of a Muppet, so singing is out of the question.” “My favorite song to perform is ‘Sabotage,’ by the Beastie Boys. Sometimes I like to think of us as a female version of the boys from Brooklyn.” “But I’m most like a female Sid Vicious, minus the raging heroin addiction and homicide speculation.”  Jimmy CWho has the dirty job of photographing Thre3 Hole Punch in all their sexpot glory? It’s Jimmy C, owner of Baltimore/Washington, DC-based LuminousImpression (www.LuminousImpression.com).“My work falls into the fetish/alternative genre.” —Jimmy C“It takes stretching the imagination to reach beyond what has already been done to create something unique and beautiful.” “The real work is in the lighting, set design, and prop building.” “More established models usually negotiate a trade agreement—meaning I’ll shoot one set of what you want and one set of what I want. It works out well and it appeases my wife.”  “Some beautiful people cannot model, and some average-looking people produce the most wonderful looks. I will always take the latter.”“Be a gentleman to your models. There are enough creeps out there.” “Pinup is all about carefree fun!”
