Good Morning, Rippers.

How do you like your pin-ups? Beautifully deranged? Covered in blood? Deadly hot and just in time for Halloween? Damned if Charlie's Rippers aren't all of the above.

Shot by local photo masters Kristopher Chain-Harris and Kevin Gallagher, Philly's own band of merry murderesses include such lovely ladies as Reggie Bugmuncher of Olde City Sideshow, Stephanie Weaver of the Philly Roller Girls Fresh Meat Team, and Morgan Mae of Burning Angel (NSFW) fame. These femme fatales come together in a brand spankin' new kind of calendar conceptualized and created by the illustrious Charlie Ripper.

From the BTK Killer to Ted Bundy to Jack the Ripper, Charlie's Rippers delivers a monthly dose of killer quotes and trivia, crime details, and biographical information. And of course, to-die-for pin-ups all kinds of contorted into Charlie's very own serial killer fantasy land. Morbid? Maybe a little. Sexy, sassy, and unique? Definitely.

Tuesday night at North 3rd Bar you can meet and greet Charlie Ripper herself and steal a peek at the completed calendar. Limited edition copies will be available for purchase, and Charlie's models will be on hand with Sharpies at the ready. Just to be clear—we're talking markers for signing autographs, not knives or any other kind of torture devices. It's not that kind of party.

Oh, and PS: We're not sure why you'd ever get tired of talking to hot girls who agreed to dress up as 12 of the most dangerous criminals of all time, but if perhaps you're a bit tongued-tied around the beautiful lady killers loosen up first by knocking back a couple of drinks with the infamous Tony Trov and Johnny Zito, two of the producers on this fine project. We hear they might know a little something about a recent vampire epidemic down in South Philly. Tis the season for horror, friends...
