metal ink is an awesome new clothing company, whose designs are all tattoo-inspired, modelled by some of the hottest chicks ever. (the first two maidens have been the lovely miss radeo &the gorgeous bambu, for example...lets keep this SG streak going strong!) each months maiden wins cashdolladolla (which i would be sharing with miss silencia, who shot my contest photos), as well as a trip to LA to do a couple of photoshoots. the prize money would be especially helpful to go toward gear for my walk across the country!!

if i have the highest score at the end of the month &am chosen as maiden of the month, ill be selecting my 3 favorite comments received on my metal ink photos, and the responsible wordsmiths will win signed prints of all three of my metal ink photos! it literally takes 30 seconds to sign up &vote, &your support really would mean the world to me!! votevotevote!
