he historic Key Club on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, Calif. recently held their special

Halloween edition of Metal Skool.That’s the night that live rockers take over the club, performing a

well-spandexed selection of ‘80s hair-metal standards. The evening was hosted by metal man Riki

Rachtman, who came dressed as the loveable Winnie the Pooh. The crazy festivities began appropriately

with Lacey Conner from VH1’s Rock of Love with her band Nocturne. She writhed around on the floor, and

rocked out to her own goth-industrial beats and over the top lyrics. The Key Club also held a costume

contest, which was judged by Conner and Joanna Angel, former PRICK cover girl and founder of

Burningangel.com.That was followed by the Metal Skool rockers who were joined onstage by Jani Lane, of

glam metal’s Warrant, for their rendition of crowd-favorite “Cherry Pie.” The always charimastic Steve-O,

hopped up on stage and amused the crowd with his own brand of charm (mostly just screaming obscen-

ities).The costumed and crowded club loved it all.They proved that they still know how to party it up on

the Sunset Strip. H

Michael Starr of Metal Skool, Jani Lane of Warrant, and Satchel of Metal Skool perform

their rendition of Warrant’s classic “Cherry Pie,” much to the crowd’s delight

The crowd of tattoo artists and collectors, most with a Pabst

in hand, gather at Aurora Coffee

n October 26th, Aurora Coffee – preferred hangout

of Atlanta’s bohemian hipsterati – hosted a night of

fun time art by the good folks down at Memorial

Tattoo. The show exhibited the work of Phil Colvin, Dave

Kruseman, Josh May, and the shop’s newest artist, Mikey

Jenkins. All four of these artists have their own personal

style, and it was nice to see an exhibition that is able to

show how artists in the same field, working with the same

sorts of subject matter, interpret and express themselves

differently. This art in the midst of catering trays with meat

and cheese, libations by Pabst, and a good crowd full of tat-

tooed appreciators, it was ensured that a good time would

be had by all. H

ailing all the way from Essen, Nordrhein-Westfalen,

Germany, Beccy is a full-time modeling mom who’s

posing predilections lean toward the fiercely fetishistic,

the pretty pin-up, and the ardent avant-garde. Her photo shoots

often include guns, skimpy clothing, washed-out filters, and a heavy

contrast of colors. Let’s just say that she’s here for beauty’s sake.

Beccy is a proud parent, professional model, loving wife, overzeal-

ous groupie, and—as if you girls weren’t already jealous—she’s co-

conspirator in a plot to overtake the alt-fashion avenue with her

own clothing company, Spookabella.

One day she’d like to write a book about her

life, but is currently content to tell her stories

through her work; and a lovely bit of artistic

expression it is. Last year she suffered a stroke and

continues to find solace in the important and

meaningful aspects of her day-to-day: “I really love

my family; they are just the most important people

in my life!” And really, who could blame her?

How long have you been modeling?

I started modeling in 2004, two months after

the birth of my son. If you had asked me two

years before I started modeling, I would

have thought this to be the last

thing in the world that I

would do. Maybe the hor-

mones during my pregnan-

cy changed a lot. I really

love to model.

Who did your tattoos?

Sascha Sandrock at Sonic Soul

Tattoo did my left arm and belly.

My leg is by Brambilla Bachmann from

Lebenslaenglich. She is such a great artist and I will

get a lot more of her work in the future. My tattoos

tell something about my past, my future, my atti-

tude, and—sometimes—I just like the idea behind

them. It makes me really happy to see my tattoos

every day.They are what I am and how I feel.

What gave you the idea to start

Spookabella?

Well, that was my husband’s idea. He has a band

called The Spook and wanted to do a girly shirt

that might fit to the band’s character; he came up

with the name Spookabella. Later, we thought
