There is nothing so agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the application of a rough truth.

I’ve had a bit of a crush on Joan Jett since Ninski sent me a link to photographer Brad Elterman’s website a few months ago leading me to post up these amazing photos of her. So besides the fact that The Runaways were a pretty ground-breaking band as far as female bands go, I was excited to see Elterman reporting of a movie being in production detailing their story. As of right now it’s hard to tell if the movie isn’t anything more than a glorified Runaways movie video, but I’m ok with that.

Love these images of Joan Jett circa 1977 by Brad Elterman.

Divey West Hollywood “rock n’ roll” motel. Black tee. Raw denim. Worn in vulcanized army-style gym shoes. John Wayne on the tele - perfect.
