Old Friends

Some of you may know that I took a rather unexpected hiatus at the end of last summer, tragically not to return until after this school year. I cannot apologize enough for the messages I ignored and friends I failed to contact. If you happened to know me that past summer, or attempted to contact me anytime thereafter, I beg for your forgiveness and strongly encourage you to message me again. I'm really eager to shoot as much as possible in the whole gamut of genres.

I remembered this when Kenny of LWP came up to me at Chanel's birthday party. I was so, so, so glad that he actually approached me. Moreover, there was no resentment from the unreturned calls, no accusations or anything. I was so glad to rekindle that connection. This shot is from that particular shoot. There were so many fantastic images. It was one of the first times I really learned about shooting fashion, and oh boy, I loved it. Hopefully we'll shoot again real soon. =)

Another big thank you to everyone who welcomed me back to modeling. It was a tough year, and your encouragement helped so much.

Wardrobe!

After that fantastic fetish shoot, I have such an itching for new shiny, leathery, metal, torturous, latex devices and outfits. Meaning, I would be absolutely ecstatic if we could arrange a trade where such things were exchanged. I would also be more than delighted to simply shoot with said articles. It's really just too fun.

Today's pic is from about a month ago. The lovely woman in the middle, Maranda, painted the four of us fro her mother's surprise party (far right). We statues had an amazing time from helping to paint one another to dancing it up with the incredibly fun 80's cover band. Her mother was so wonderfully happy, it was completely worth the hours of standing around. I really loved every minute of it. The photographer of the night was her friend Joe.

Which reminds me, I'm actually thinking of getting into go go dancing. After all the raves and everything else, it seems like something I might really enjoy. If anyone has any tips or connections, I would be very flattered and appreciative.

Whoopsies

Missed one. =)

Yesterday was an incredible. I had so much fun on the suspension sets (it was cloth, not rope), and reports say I wasn't too shabby either. My muscles are now screaming in agony and desperately want someone to take them to a spa, but oh well. I met so many amazing people at both Hal's shoot and Chanel's Bday. Sorry I didn't stay longer at the second. It was the end of a very long day, for both Torrid and I. Be sure to check out this thread for (hopefully) awesome photos of us in the next few days.

Also! Hal said he'd be more than happy to let me swing around on his suspension set whenever I please, so long as he can snap a few shots. So if you want to have me upside down, bending in half, sweating up a storm, and having a blast - let's do something like that. During one of the private one on ones we put a divan underneath the scarves for a more casual, drapery feel. It turned out really sweet, as I could play with the couch and the aerial work. I'd love, love, love to wheel in a sexy Harley and do something similar *wink*

Today's shot is an OMP Showcase from the fabulous Don Armstrong who I just love to pieces. I'm still booking like mad and would love a little message in my inbox - although there are still 15 unread ones after yesterday. Eep!

Meet and Greets!

I mentioned last blog that I'll be at a fetish shoot. I'm also planning on attending Chanel Rene's MnG later that evening. The lovely torrid will be in tow, if there are any fans also glancing at my freshly reopened blog.

(Wh)orlando Perez is also having another open forum on September 8th. While we've had a hard time scheduling our shoot. Things will come together, though, and I am much excited.

Today's photo is from DW. This one was taken on his patio in LA. I was actually just posing along, when I got tired of having my hair in my face. Miraculously enough, everything came together in this spur of the moment shot. Hair flips may be trite, and they may break my neck from time to time, but this one was magic.

Shakespeare Concepts Again

Want to emphasize that I really am completely, totally down to do this. Moreover, it could actually help me in school! Which means I would be x5 more excited to do something like this. We're studying Midsummer Night's Dream, Winter's Tale, Much Ado, Taming of the Shrew, and one more - As You Like It? Anyways, we have to do a visual project for each. Since this would be presented to some of my peers, I'd like to keep my special bits covered, but by no means do we have to do that for the entire shoot.

I would love to do a full scale shoot collaboration: location scouting, make-up, hair, multiple models if we want, photoshop, the whole gambit. Speaking of which, I mentioned that I'm learning photoshop in the last post. Just to prove it, here's one of the photos from my shoot with Jim Garrett from maybe a month ago. Please, rip me to shreds on this. I'd love all the feedback possible. I think I'm most proud of the really bad hotspots that I eliminated on my face and arm.

In other news, if there are any fetish folk looking for a fun shoot, I'll be at Glass Slipper next Saturday (28th).

Here It Goes Again

Waste time with apologies? Nah. I've learned photoshop from Don Armstrong, taking a class in it this semester. Which reminds me, Availability Update:

Tuesdays are right out. Thursday afternoons are busy too. Both for class. And then the real exciting stuff: Haunt 2010 right around the corner! Starting Sept 23rd, I'll be working Weds-Sun in the maze Labyrinth, come check it out!

I'll be shooting (hopefully) twice per week during Haunt (that's including school work too). One paid one trade shoot each week. I'll update as those fill up. In the meantime, I'm booking like crazy for the month of September.

Edits to the site hopefully going to happen in the next few hours/days.
