Phil Morrissey and I were having a talk at Furry Spring Break, and we were discussing our shared experiences about living in the San Fernando Valley. Specifically, we compared notes about the low-riders of the East Valley, and the hardcore women who are part of the gangs there. One thing led to another, Phil said he'd love to get a chance to do a picture on the topic, and I handed my book to him that instant. This piece was the result.
