Urban Bombshells Launches Jan 1- Official Release

(For Immediate Release)


Urban Bombshells Readies a New Wave of Energy for the Internet and Teams up with Planet Verge’s Music Writers.

SEATTLE, WA -- Launching on the first of the New Year, Urban Bombshells brings the ideals of Internet communities and classic pin-up photography together, integrated in a stylish, vibrant, sexy, tasteful and potent way.

Urban Bombshells encompasses all that is beautiful and stylish in the modern female, with edge, attitude and a disregard for corporate bullshit. With UB’s lovely naked bombshells and a love for all things rebellion, music and fashion, the site is the antithesis to anything of a similar nature. A diverse selection of models, and no limitations set upon them, are proudly featured, along with an interactive community based around classic pin-up photography with modern appeal, personal blogs, video, forums, music news, and much more. Don't except anything less.


Going live in 2008, www.urbanbombshells.com integrates a new vision for Internet culture. Injecting a newfound urgency, the girls of Urban Bombshells have developed a vibrant and diverse variation of glamour and grace in photography. While redefining the perception of beauty, they are breaking every misconception on their own terms. Empowering each other, while building an online community that caters to a wide audience; holding an Interest for all ethnicities, genders and sexual orientations.

All of UB’s models have personal profiles that display their own interest and location, alongside personal blogs and a link to their MySpace pages. With both photo sets and video, each member has the opportunity to get to know each model on an intimate and personal level. There are no inhibitions. Also included are forums where members can communicate with the models, and discuss everything from hobbies to politics. The all-female staff behind the acclaimed indie music site, Planet Verge, provides entertainment news, concert dates, album reviews, articles, interviews, videos, music, and more. The fashion section displays the current clothing lines and concepts that are altering independent culture and inspiring new trends. Members can also browse both photo and videos from UB’s monthly parties (featuring live music performances) and get information on upcoming events, including Urban Bombshell appearances, burlesque performances, and tours.

Urban Bombshells is a brand that will undoubtedly be seen as a classy fixture in modern pop culture. The website allows our models the opportunity to invite members into their own worlds. It’s an intimate environment catering to the interest of both females and males alike. Unfortunately the grace and intrigue of pin-up photography has been tarnished and forgotten overtime. We are bringing it back in a whole new way. The days of Betty Page and Marilyn Monroe; that glitz, glamour and classic presentation will all come rushing back. The age of the pin-up has inevitably come full circle in our eyes and Urban Bombshells is bringing it to the masses in a tremendous new way.

Further information and sample photography will be available upon request. The site is owned and operated by Bombshell Productions LLC, who retains all rights to trademarked and copyrighted material, including photographs, content and logos. Urban Bombshells welcomes correspondence concerning sponsorships for our events, public appearances, interviews, and product tie-ins.

Just to clear up the air...

I recently got an email from someone who accused Planet Verge of "selling out," having created the company "so girls could engage in groupie behavior behind a mask of journalism," and "slant towards male good looking musicians."

So I'd like to openly publish the letter I wrote that person back, just in case those horrid thought are floating across any other minds.

To preface, I'd like to state that I began Planet Verge because it was my dream to run my own magazine (NOT SLEEP WITH ROCK STARS-THAT WOULD DISCREDIT EVERYTHING) and write about anything I wanted. In the process, I spent THOUSANDS of dollars to make this happen. I couldn't work a full-time job because I needed the time to pretty much be a one-women show with layout, editing, etc in the first few years. I survived on menial funds from part-time jobs and now have a pretty nice debt. But I'm not complaining because I went for my dream. I made it happen and I have had the most amazing experiences.

So now as Planet Verge thrives into the digital word, and will continue to expand our readership via producing content for the soon-to-be-launched pin-up site, URBAN BOMBSHELLS, I'll leave you with this:

Dear___________:


Thanks for your opinion. I'm sorry you feel that way, but anyone who looks into our background can see that we are all established professionals who come together to promote music we like.

We have received acclaim for our efforts as a result of our hard work. Planet Verge was featured in Teen People magazine & on The Style Network's "The Look For Less. Our writers freelance for Alternative Press, Amp, Outburn and other music publications, host red carpet events in LA, do marketing for NIKE, and are journalism majors/graduates, etc.

The fact that we are an all female-staff with a fashion sense obviously will draw the groupie problem, but nobody is posting blogs that can back up your claim.

We write about bands we like and judge them based on their music, NOT their looks. You will also see we strongly support FEMALE artists- Jennifer Arroyo from Suicide City was on a past cover, as were Halo Friendlies when we first began printing. We recently features Aimee Allen on the blog and have 2 more female artist articles in the works. (PS-- we also often spotlight successful females in the industry, like Carrie Hughes, Music Supervisor at MTV).

Personally, I like pin-up girls and am proud to be involved with a company like Urban Bombshells that has a similar appreciation for beautiful women outside the Hollywood image of perfection.

I have received many fan letters from girls saying I empowered them to go into the journalism field or start their own music sites. That tells me I'm doing something right.

Stop paying attention if it bothers you so much.
