Sacramento is full of beautiful people. Just stroll or ride your bike up and down J Street in Midtown any afternoon and you'll agree. Sacramento even has its fair share of famous models including such as Larry Scott (who I went to High School with - we dated cousins).  You might not remember his name, but his face is one of the most recognized even 20 odd years after his work with Georgio Armani. I can attest to the trials and tests many aspiring models goes through; travel expenses, the mental and competitive aspects, adhering to a strict diet only a monk would enjoy, dedication to the gym, flawless personal hygiene and keeping your wardrobe on par.

G. Love & Special Sauce have been touring for nearly 20 years but you probably never heard of them, and that's okay, they aren't mainstream, and probably really don't want to be. G.
