I love the movie Sucker Punch! I decided it would be cool to do a cosplay of one of the characters! I decided on the character Blondie. Contrary to the name, she isn't blonde at all, but she is a bad ass. I'll try my best to stay true to character. My last cospla

I love Grand Rapids and all it has to offer with local music, so I decided why not feature local bands here on wgrd.com! Today's featured The Class Acts, they answered a few questions for me below! Check them out, and if you're in a local band who wants to be featured fill out this form. I don’t just feature anyone, so don’t suck and you’ll get the Jackie stamp of approval ;) Find me on facebook too, to follow all your favorite local bands, and GRD news by clicking HERE

Buckcherry- Gluttony

I spiced things up this week! Normally I feature the "bad bowler of the week" and normally they are VERY bad! Well this week I thought it was time to reward someone who is a fellow, "bad bowler" but is insanely good at it! Andrew Walcott, Andrew bowled a 233 the first game! That is insane for a person who bowls a 75 on a regular basis! Andrew went home with a pair of tickets to see New Medicine with Deuce at the Intersection!

Because I am a girl, and I am the only one who cares I am in charge of making sure once a year we get some updated photos!  This year we worked with renowned photographer Tim Priest.  Tim has a studio in down town Grand Rapids where JT, Shaffee and myself gathered together for a few photos. The boys like to now refer to themselves as models, so if you would like to book JT or Shaffee for any of your modeling needs, I guess I am there agent... ;)

Drowning Pool- Saturday Night

I have a good friend who is a fantastic up and coming photographer!  Courtney McCatty of Summerfrost Photography.  I shot with Courtney back in 2009, then again in 2010 when she was the official photographer for NM3 Magazines model of the year contest, (which I won!)  Courtney and I have kept in touch with each other over the years and still chat all the time.  Courtney got a hold of me a week or so ago and told me about a project she was working on; Project 365.  The idea is very cool and I was very excited to be asked to be a part of it!

About a month ago I discovered the world of cosplay and I knew I would fit right into this geeky genre of fun! I asked all of you to choose what I should cosplay as for my first attempt and you chose Harley Quinn from the Batman series!

Yesterday I woke up, was munching on some delicious cereal when I get a call from a random (616) number. First mistake I made was answering the call... second mistake I made was not hanging up when I realized it was producer Joe from Free Beer and Hot Wings
