2026 - No. 5

Two repeats this issue...

I first met Miquela last year along Main just north of 12th, her very long hair catching my attention then. And she is still keeping her hair very long - though it looks a little shorter than when we last met. My wife also used to keep her hair very long as well. About 20 years ago, she lopped off nearly 30 inches, taking it down to just her... shoulder blades.

And the other repeat is toward the end of this issue where you'll find Crystal in a pink long-sleeved dress. It was hot and humid out that night, and she was initially worried about how her hair looked before letting me make some great photos this time around. She first appeared in ...at face value in 2024 - No. 5 with her friend Hailey, and also appeared in 2026 - No. 1 at the Power & Light southbound streetcar stop.

Will she end up being a threepeat this year? Only time will tell, and there's still plenty of calendar for that to happen.

World Cup celebrations continue as well. You'll find Milena in her Argentina shirt while Dayday and Dulce were showing some love for Mexico.

And after running for a couple weekends, I finally decided to poke into the Crossroads Night Market. While I did also make photos of a couple other visitors, unexpectedly I also photographed several not realizing they were vendors.

Which... I need to correct what I just said at the start, as there's a third repeat. Keep an eye out for Skylar in a white t-shirt she's wearing off her shoulder and a full-length denim skirt. We first crossed paths last year, with her being featured in 2025 - No. 7 in a very similar pose to what she's doing here.

But while I did photograph several vendors unexpectedly, photographing Veronica that weekend was not unintentional. And I did buy a couple things from her the last night of that weekend before getting the third set with her wearing a black body suit showing off her great figure.

Krys and Drea round out this issue and the month of June. Krys was up at the Delaware streetcar stop in a very sexy green tank and white skirt. And Drea was down in Union Station - to give you an idea of the kind of walking range I'm getting anymore - cooling off after a shift. Which given the black top, she would definitely want to relax in the air conditioning before going whichever direction to get home.

This issue's cover feature was also a very easy pick the moment I had the photos imported for edit. Full-length white dress with gorgeous blonde hair at a familiar corner. She only had a moment, which was all I needed. It isn't often that I settle and stay on a cover feature that firmly. Indeed it's happened only twice before that I can recall: 2025 - No. 6 featuring Heather on the cover, and 2025 - No. 10 featuring... Hannah.
