Gina Alexander Gig Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) Aug 20th 2007 at 5:03PM

Look like you are with the band without all that bothersome groupie business. Designed in collaboration with the late guitar icon's sister, the Jimi Hendrix Collection features handbags with a rock and roll edge. At 22½" L x 17" H x 4 ½ W, the Gig Bag is large enough for a change of clothes, should one be necessary. Lined with corduroy and studded with antique brass, this one is for the Foxy Lady in you. $549.50.

Truth be told Ms. Alexander's new "Hendrix" line is in collaboration with a very nasty woman named Janie that was adopted by Jimi Hendrix' father shortly before Jimi died and is of no blood relation whatsoever to Jimi Hendrix. She manipulated Hendrix' elderly, uneducated and infirm father into signing his state over to her, cutting Jimi's own blood line out of the picture. Jimi's real siblings, cousins,and other family members that helped raise Jimi live in poverty and obscurity.This is by no means a secret and it is extremely rare nowadays to see this Janie person portrayed as Jimi's "Sister". Shame on Ms. Alexander for doing so.

This absolutey true about Janie alias Hendrix non- relationship to Jimi. Plus for Ms. Alexander's information the 'Are You Experience' & 'Electric Ladyland' images she is using on her bags are not owned by Hendrix LLC, they are owned and copyrighted by their author Karl Ferris who never licensed these images to them! they have just been copied from the album covers! Therefore she have been defrauded and put in jeopody of a copyright infringment suit from the real copyright owner of these images!

Seems Jimi's adopted sister "Janie" forgot that Federal Judge Thomas Zilly has entered a judgment not once, but twice (first time in 1995) that Experience Hendrix, Authentic Hendrix, or Janie Hendrix does not own or control the name or likness of JImi Hendrix. I've read that she has consistently and fraudulently been licensing Jimi's personality rights (name and likness) to dozens of companies, like Pepsi, Motorola, Audi, Trunk LTD and others throughout the last 10 years..... is anyone out there paying attention to the fraudlent activities of Experience Hendrix and Janie Hendrix????? Shame on this imposter to the real Hendrix Family.
