Shmitten Kitten Pin-Up Girls: The Center City Chick

Here is the third girl in our Pin-up Girl series drawn by our very own Jenna Davis and seeing as how she's a downtown worker bee, she needs to hustle to run her errands on her lunch break. You can see her breezing by chugging an iced coffee, bopping into MAC to grab some more foundation powder (she knows her shade by heart).

This beauty has a real 9-5 job and she is a total weekend warrior: she starts planning her Friday night on Monday morning. Happy hour is her cat nip. She bops around from bar to bar, sippin' on fancy drinks and complaining to her friends about how all guys she meets are dbags. She loves to walk her dog in Rittenhouse Square so everyone can shower it (and her) with attention. Meet the Center City Chick. Double-click on the image to make her bigger.

Shmitten Kitten Pin-Up Girls: The Fishtown Free Love Fairy

Here is the second girl in our Pin-up Girl series drawn by our very own Jenna Davis and she arrives just in time for the the ultimate Freedom-lovers holiday, July 4th. You can find her making frequent trips upstate to camp, to get loose, and to be one with the children of the sun. In high school, she was a bit of a hippy, attending festivals, bonfires, and beer busts at the moontower. Now, she has an amazing collection of '70s vintage bellbottoms, platform shoes, turquoise jewels, Gunne Sax dresses, and feathers which she pins in her flowing mane.

In the fall, she throws pumpkin carving parties, replete with good vibes and mulled cider. She loves yoga, taking photos, and growing her hair out. No Fishtown hang would be complete without her. Meet the Fishtown Free Love Fairy. Double-click on the image to make her bigger.

Shmitten Kitten Pin-Up Girls: The West Philly DIY Darling

We are really, really, really excited about this: Our very own Editor-at-Large, Jenna Davis, has drawn a series of Shmitten Kitten pin-up girls where each girl embodies the essence of a Philly neighborhood. We'll post one up every week. And, we are gonna kick things off with this beauty, the West Philly DIY Darling.

Inspired by our friends Chloe from the crust/metal band Atakke and our girl Sarah, this fiesty lady can throw together a killer vegan dinner with pretty much zero notice. Her clothes have the coolest screenprinted patches and pins affixed to them, and if you ask nicely, she'll make some for you too. She can cut a pair of Carharts into a hot ass mini skirt in a matter of minutes--which she'll wear even though her legs are bruised from crashing her bike. She doesn't mind playing hostess to bands on tour, even though she secretly intimidates them with her ability to thrash it up with her superhuman ability to pound whiskey and cheap beer.

She stagedives, she talks back, and she is loyal until the end. We love her.

Drawn Dudes: The Metal Head

We are super psyched to announce that our new Editor-at-Large, Jenna Davis, will occasionally contribute sketches to the site. Not only is she one of the most beautiful women we've ever met, but she's also insanely talented. Honestly, we think that she nailed this guy's aesthetic purrrfectly.

We'd bet ten bucks that in high school he used a Bic pen to carve his favorite bands' names into his desk. He scoffs at authority and likes to flip the bird at every opportunity. His long hair is amazingly silky for a guy who washes it with Pert Plus once every two weeks. He only has, like, one pair of frayed gray jeans, which he wears to death. They have never been washed and at this point, they could probably walk around town on their own.

Dude, next time you flash us the devil horns, we will do a rock lock with you (it's like a high-five but more in-the-know). We love you, Metal Head!

Drawn Dudes: The Freedom Man

This next guy comes to us from Jenna--one of our favorite people ever--and this is her homage to her favorite kind of dude, The Freedom Man.

He either owns a vintage muscle car or an environmentally-friendly ride; either way, you would totally make out in the backseat with him. He will make sure that you know that he does not deejay using either an iPod or laptop and is wildly opposed to those who do. His breadth of musical knowledge will make you swoon so much that you will tolerate his messy, artsy apartment overflowing with tons of dude roommates. As a note of caution, he can't remember if he ever took his SATs and he will show up for a camping trip with nothing but the baja on his back. Sayin'.

But, he always has decent beer in the fridge, is always a good time, and always knows where the party is. He'll use phrases like, "Don't be a summer bummer, man," and he likes to chillax watching stoner movies just as much as you do. Behold:
