The Blac Gurlz Ink Babes would like to take February – the month of Love, as an opportunity to introduce a new product into our greeting card and gift line – Postcards!
AND to also introduce our selection for the 2010 Butches of the Bay!
In keeping with our mission statement to be “authentic” in our presentation of images specifically designed for the LGBT community, by using LGBT members as our models and to showcase the “diversity” of our community, we feel that the handsome women chosen, represent a cross section of the submissions we received, as well as our community. They come from various walks of life, ethnic representation and gender expression within the dynamics of being “butch women.” The Blac Gurlz Ink Babes feel that based on the models’ energy, personal expression of their “butch-ness,” in addition to being simply handsome…well, we’re happy with our picks!
We asked our models to give us a brief bio (see bios below) so that you would be able to get to know them as we have and come to “love the Butches of the Bay” as much as we do. They are an amazing group of women; they were easy to work with and though they had only met one another during the photo shoot (it was an open casting call), their energy was so warm and welcoming that well…you can feel it emanating from their photos!
Who better to launch our POSTCARD series then gorgeous women who also endow such wonderful masculine energy!
A set of 6 Postcards for $9.99 (assorted)
And there’s more!
We have also reduced pricing on our hand-crafted, couture greeting cards – in time for Valentine’s Day as well!

Loretta Cannon is surgical assistant who likes to volunteer in countries who little to no access to health care. She is a firm believer in promoting good health and well being for all women and their families.
Loretta enjoys making gourmet meals for friends and families and team members. If she had one wish, she would want all lesbian couples to see and feel the safest and warmest memories within each other.
2010 Butches of the Bay Model: L. Cannon
Loretta is embarking on a new business endeavor where she will assist you in “wooing” your sweetie – so watch out for it!
Ericka Schneider enjoys spending her days dreaming of a future as a porn star, but when she is not dreaming, she is spending her time running her own company – ELS Plumbing, “where their specialty is snaking your pipes”.
She also enjoys donating her skills to various organizations that help better the community, such as – Rebuilding Together Oakland (RTO), First Christian Church of Concord (FCC) and the First Christian Church of Fremont, volunteer programs.
When she is not working or dreaming she can be found out on the softball field or at a pool table. Ericka really enjoys meeting new people and learning new skills.
