Q: Where'd you get that header picture with the girl and the string of lights?
—Taylor

A: We shot this near our office after hours, using our resident photographer and willing (and clearly able) staff members as models.

Which has us thinking: If you (or anyone you know) has any interest in posing for the Magnificent Bastard header shot, to be admired (and likely ogled) by thousands, be sure to drop us a line. Let magnificentbastard.com be your modeling launchpad. Blastoff! (We're 100% serious.)
