About

Mosh Girl (AKA: Moshzilla, Skankzilla, Sam, Little Sam) is a photo of a girl getting her punk on while onlookers make memorable faces. The Internet cried "oh exploitable!" and the shoops did floweth.

Origin

The original photo was taken by Alex Stram on January 3, 2005 at the Che Cafe in San Diego, California during a Righteous Jams concert, using a Canon PowerShot SD10.

According to a blog entry by Herby Hönigsperger:

He snapped a slew of pictures and posted them to his now-defunct site http://alexstram.com/gallery/

Soon, the image of Sam from Alex's photostream was appearing on message boards around the web, photoshopping "mosh girl" into various scenes; some of them hilarious, some of them offensive.

All types were cataloged on Moshzilla.com

On February 10th, 2005, Moshzilla.com removed all photos of Sam at request from "Little Sam" and her parents.
