Once in print and in-between online there’s a few things you may have missed that we think you ought to check out:

Fit birds. We’re superficial and so are you dear readers. Easily the most popular thing to do on this site is admire the beauty of Jamaican women: beginning back in 2008 with Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillips. Click here and scroll to the bottom of this post to view links to links to all our photo shoots (and they’re still young eh!).

Sherman Escoffery AKA @DatNiggaSherman. Definitely the least beautiful thing on the site, Sherman represents the disenfranchised, patriotic Diaspora who get more frustrated each time they return to JA. Still, he’s got a point, or so the Sunday Gleaner thought so after they deemed this, his latest effort, worthy of their ‘Letter of the Day’ last weekend.

Our print archive: printed four issues deep 2004-5 we’re still pretty proud of it (any investor with balls enough, email info@firstmagazine.net and we’d love your $ to do some more). Click here to download the redux versions of the four issues in PDF format.

Thursday Night at the Fights: that insane ‘community boxing’ event that used to be held in Denham Town. We went down there several times, inspiring this photo essay and latterly, the video, some of which also got broadcast via BBC. Any news on whether they managed to start it back?

Not sure if enough of you have seen this recent video of ‘Gad Reds’, one of Kingston’s more characterful studio-hanger-ons, found at Downsound during the filming of DiMaggio: The Last Don. He’s a star and more so when that far gone…

The Trouble with Clovis: love him or hate him, and they do in equal amounts, we rate Clovis Brown as Jamaica’s #1 shit-stirrer next to Mutty. It’d be a far poorer country without either of them. Anyway, Clovis explained to us one day what makes him tick, tick, tick…

We upped some pretty damn delicious food features with our chef friend Julius. We called the feature ‘Food Lust’, and the photos don’t lie, from beef tenderloin to steam fish, the dishes DID taste that good. He’s not your usual caterer

Some of favourite spots that we enjoy across the island, taking in the likes of St Bess, Portland and not forgetting the capital, but most of all its intended for our international readers: get out, see the island and relax…and then buy us a drink in thanks.

Death in Tivoli Gardens, a photo essay. Simply because we can’t forget that killing like this still happens in Jamaica, and often.

Artist Christopher Irons interviewed by Annie Paul: he bites the heads off chickens, say no more…

You may have noticed – well, you really should have noticed – that beautiful Jamaican women have been a staple of FIRST, from when we started as a print magazine, right up to today: Candice McCalla X Lime Cay.

The way it usually works is that women, who often are not full-time models, contact us directly. Or every now and again, we find them ourselves.

We’re not a model agency and we don’t have a dodgy TV show. We’re not even seedy model talent scouts. We just take photographs.

Why you’d want you to be photographed is really your business. Our business, however, is solely to ensure you and the photograph look good, good enough to be published here.

As for your modeling career, should you become one of the lucky few; well, that’ll be down to the whim of some dude in too-tight pants…not us.

It baffles us why beautiful, elegant and frequently intelligent women would want to ink themselves up; and always by that same guy who must have learned his trade at Tower Street Correctional Centre.

Ladies, just remember, you’re not livestock.
