Product Description
#"Mixing sexiness with attitude these Alterna-Babes will rock and seduce you! Burning Angel, the cult community for all real naughty rock chicks, formed by the legendary Princess of Punk Rock Porn Joanna Angel, is the place to be on the internet, if you want to run with the rebels. #BurningAngel is an famous independent website that celebrates the intersection of sex and rock n' roll, offering punk-inspired erotic photos and hardcore videos alongside album reviews and revealing interviews with indie, punk and hardcore bands. The company was launched in 2002 by Joanna Angel and #The Lovely Brenda (Brenda Staudenmaier) is a New York City-based photographer. Originally from Peshtigo, Wisconsin, Brenda – at the age of 22 – left her small-town American life for the action and excitement of New York, where she could actively pursue her passion: photography. Her work is acclaimed for her ability to beautify the raw, brutal and authentic aspects of her subjects. Brenda's photography mirrors her vibrant, vivacious and playful demeanor, trading the industry's white backdrops for the colorful, organic ““set design” of New York City.

Sexy New York girls captured in all their wild cuteness July 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Suds, stockings, panties, roller skates, a bra tug or war, and some of your favorite porn stars like Joanna Angel and Dana Dearmond are just some of the delights that await you in much-admired photographer Brenda Staudenmaier's debut book. While most of the models have the trademarke Buring Angel punk tattoo look, some complete with a snarl, there are also some very cute, but still sexy, shots - fellating a curling iron, licking a happy face lollipop, baring everything against a graffiti-covered wall or on a rooftop with New York City as the backdrop.
The range of photos and types of models is remarkable, and while they certainly have things in common, Staudenmaier seeks out each girl's special charm, whether a look or a body part or a pose or setting. These photos are vibrant, daring, bold and sexy, without ever resorting to clichés. There are girls with guns and girls in latex. There are lots of very cute pairs of underwear. I'm partial to one stunning redhead and many of the two-girl sets. All of these photos, taken for the site Burning Angel, are very direct; though posed, they have a candidness about them that lets the models' beauty, as well as their quirks, shine through. My favorites here are ones I call the "whoops" photos, ones where the girls are looking at the camera like, "Whoops, I forgot I had my clothes off. Silly me!" There's something slyly sexy about those shots, like Barely Legal girls gone wild in a way Joe Francis would never condone. They're wild because they allow themselves to be, and so does Staudenmaier.
Mad Sexiness for the Book Shelf June 20, 2008

This book is a must have for any fan of Burning Angel or Graffiti. A perfect collection of Brooklyn's finest starlets posed provocatively often in front of some of the best street art in the US.
Brenda's photography is well known to anyone that has read Vice Magazine's popular "Do's and Don'ts" column. Her work with Burning Angel has helped define the alt porn world.
Basically, if you like beautiful girls with tattoos, attitudes and incredibly sexy bodies then buy this book!
Art, Porn & Anthropology: Instant Collector's Item June 20, 2008
This bible of alterna-porn is not-to-be-missed. An improbably
thick collection of lush, stunning images by powerhouse photog
Brenda Staudenmaier (www.thelovelybrenda.com), this book will
get you hot but serves way more than your lechery.
The compilation covers several years of her shooting for
Williamsburg legend Joanna Angel's foxy freak family,
allowing the viewer to chart the girls through several
years of transformation within this seminal subculture.
While the translucent tattooed flesh is titillating, the
photographs themselves are even moreexciting. Perfectly
exposed, complexly composed, each image showcases an
impeccable photographic technique. In an age where
Photoshopping is assumed, The Lovely Brenda
just takes the picture. Doesn't Photoshop a
thing. Ever. All you see is REAL.
The book is a fully-realized art object: hefty & appealing, with
beautiful prints & colorfully patterned endpapers. One copy is
not enough. You need three: one by the bed, one for the
head, & one for the coffee table.
I bought one just to keep pristine in plastic.
Invest in porn. The first run is already sold out.
This thing is eminently collectable.
