PROGRESS! 
RIGHT, so this past weekend I managed to get up a lot more layout pages.  Began to add in some info some of you have provided.  Revisit the page and check your specific pages.  If you haven't commented with anything for me to add, your page may go up missing important info that would be valuable to you!, like if you want your website email included, or a models or MUA's name  (giving credits will make people really happy with you and keep them enthused to work with you again)

I want to also note the Lone Star Pinup spread, Erin of Lone Star herself did this layout and I love it, and I love the variation her eye brought to it.  The page of Highball Society was also done by Tim the photog and Joe with JFA's samples were his as well  (we have some updates there, this was a first pass)  Se others are also taking a stab at controlling their pages and if I hadn't before, want to do so now let everyone know if this is something you'd like to do, I am all for it.
 
Business Cards
 
Would any of you be interested in getting Retro Lovely business cards, with your contact info on them citing you as a contributing photographer?  This may aid you in securing location shoots and open doors that could help make some things easier for you.  Some of you have ased me about letters so that you might get press accessto events and I will be producing something to that effect, just know I am not sure how useful they would be prior to us having an issue or two actually available.  On the business cards if you are interested I'll send a sample of the ones I myself just ordered.  In time I'd love to be in a spot where I'd even cover these costs but we're not there just yet.  That siad offset for about 250 is running like $25 shipped...   I am not big on computer inkjet printed cards as I can spot them a mile away and it usually makes me suspicious of whoever it ws that handed me one....  So if any of you are into this I would insist on them being good offset printed cards.  
 
I have a ton of ideas on how we could, as craetors, leverage Retro Lovely to open doors in a lot of ways and in a few weeks add such notions to some web pages you can access for ideas.  I've actually secured www.pinupsyndicate.com and intend a message board there for interested parties to share ideas and successes and for me to throw out things I want to try/propose. 
 
 
The release can be downloaded from this page:
 
If you can't get to a fax, you can use a camera to photograph a signed release and your license and e-mail that to me.
