Hello darlings! Ever wonder what you can get by supporting little ol' me at My Patreon? Well here's a unique look at some of the possibilities as a top pledging patron! That's right, the big dogs! For $100 you basically buy an hour of JNT - to do with as you please!!

**We are of course speaking respectably & professionally which I know I won't need to repeat please & thank you because you're all fabulous MUAH!*

SO what can you do with an hour of JNT? Well we could have a skype date, or I could spend it self-shooting a theme or look of your choice, or I could bake you cookies in the nude and mail 'em to your house (you'd still know), OR perhaps you're a little more creative and want to send little ol' me on some kind of adventure!!
This video is a shortened look at what I did for one of my top pledgers 81 Millimeter Photography, who is a big horror nut and a fan of all things spooky. At his request, yours truly spent an hour trying on the skankiest costumes I could find at a local Halloween store!!
Only this darling patron will get the full, uncensored behind the scenes!
And what about you, what shenanigans would you send me on? Think of some good ones, before pledging at the top tier! www.patreon.com/theJinNTonic

What's that Jin? *ANOTHER FUCKING PLATFORM??!!??BLERGGH*

OhmyGOODNESS!! Another year older, wiser, and definitely, another year BADASS-ER! I cannot thank my assistant enough for setting up a Full Day of Surprise HAPPY BURFDAY Celebrations For Me!! He 110% took over the planning, prepping, and coordinating of the whole day - which left me room for nothing but to be EXCITED!... and Drunk!. Also endless thank you's to the DOZENS of people that made the day of pampering, beach partying, and Jumbo Clown Room-ing (check it out - it's basically the most amazing place in LA) a total and complete BLAST! Thank you from the bottom of my badass little heart. And more kisses and spank you's are in order for the HUNDREDS of people worldwide who sent me art, messages, fb posts, emails, photos, and more, to wish lil' ol' me the happiest of bdays. Holy fucking fuck, I am a lucky biotch.
Same time next year guys?

​PS did you know that July 9th is the BEST birthday? For some reason, us 7/9-ers just find each other. My best friend growing up was also born 7/9, same year and everything. And one day three years ago I was hanging with two new-ish friends with whom I could tell I had an instant life-long connection (still do!) and we discovered that ALL THREE OF US were born July 9th. How trippy is that?? Then this last saturday, on my bday, I was buying me some goodies at Victoria's Secret (holler!), and I encountered a teenage gal with her mom, and another older woman, both of whom it was their birthday too!! WTF!!! I love it. Like I said, we just find each other, which means it's only a matter of time until I get to meet Tom Hanks...

Every time Jin N Tonic teams up with the infamous Corpsy of Girls and Corpses Magazine (a pleasure I've had manymany times over the past couple years) you already know it's going to be a hell of an adventure. And teaming up with Corpsy to co-host red carpet interviews here in LA?
​
​I can't imagine a better way to spend a Saturday. 

Corpsy: [referring to Mrs Chong] Who is this beautiful woman you're with?
Mr. Chong: I dunno I just picked her up on the road there .. She was lookin' for a ride.
Jin & Mrs Chong : Laughs and are fabulous.

So of course I was excited that My Travel Schedule made room for the latest Girls And Corpses-sponsored event: The Etheria Film Fest, a full day of sci-fi and horror genre short films featuring women directors, set at The Aero Theater in Santa Monica.

Just in case you are one of us hip, modern folks with a 3 second attention span, you can just CLICK HERE TO SKIP STRAIGHT TO THE VIDEO. Or, if you're a sweetheart and keep reading, there's more photos from the full day of booze, boobs, blood, and babes, not to mention some truly awesome fucking cinema. (Also, I'll be posting the video at the end of the blog - so just hang in there!)

Big thanks to Al for the great pics!

I call these my 12-Hour-Day Boots

So let's say that you've just spent your entire Saturday, from 10am to 6pm, posing for over a dozen amazing artists at
Studio 117b just east of LA, and say that you're an amazing little badass named Jin N Tonic, and say it's Saturday night and you look fuckin good dammit, and you happen to be connected with some of the most amazing and talented people in the world.. Do you go home and catch up on your endless emails and continue prepping for your manymanymany Upcoming Travels..?

Yes. Yes you do. Because you are a badass.

But ALSO somewhere in the busy evening you MUST take a break to venture over to Angel City Brewery - basically an adult playground with brews and food trucks and a three story slide and oh yeah, awesome ART - to check out The Opening Exhibit of "Organic Form," an incredible solo exhibit featuring the work of (nadina), as curated by (the very wise) Jerico Woggon and supported by Art Share-LA!

(nadina) with her piece "cucumber" and JNT with her drink "pomegranate cider"

I don't remember exactly how I came across (nadina)'s simple, powerful, delightful work, but when asked at the door I replied, "umm through a friend of a friend on instagram?" Like many amazing people in my life, I don't recall how our online friendship/mutual art-love began, but it's always so wonderful when I get to meet an artist - and their art! - "in the real world" (whatever THAT means).

Hey everyone!!! Jin here with my latest YouTube MASTERPIECE - bringing just a little more behind the scenes look into life as a full-time actor/model/badass. Ever wonder what it's like to pose nude for artists? Well it hurts and it's wonderful.

Take a look at my Top 5 Life Lessons as Learned from Figure Modeling! Posing for artists has taught me so much; about art, about life, about fallen-asleep-limbs, and I love every second of it! 

Huge shoutout to The Model Drawing Collective (<--- click to see upcoming events!) for not only allowing JNT to sit naked and still for their amazing artists, but also for being on board with this amazing video!

Artists can be shy, and awesome, and I love them, and you, to itty bitty pieces. NUdie Hugs, ​Jin PS Be sure to follow all the fun on instagram! -------------------------------------->

So many of my amazing followers on Instagram are either sexy, fabulous bitches themselves, or big supporters of many fine Insta-ladies, and so are not at all unfamiliar with the very real presence of the IG Police! It's happened to me only maybe four times now that I have logged in to find the alert that an image of mine was deemed Too Fine for their sensitive, baby eyes, and was removed. (My favorite part about this is that they don't inform you WHICH image was removed ... So super helpful. I only have nearly 4000, almost entirely hotasfuck, posts on my Instagram...)

Its understandable that in this line of work it's basically an occupational hazard that sometimes your ass while be politely removed from a platform or two - but what REALLY breaks my heart is when a stoopidly talented artist has their entire account shut down, and they have to start building their work all over again! Considering how upsettingly important social media is to nearly all businesses these days, starting over is not only an annoyance, but can literally kill your work! As a model and actor, the amount of followers I have on Instagram is literally an application question for SO many various gigs. And as a photographer, sad but true, but the clients are going to go with the one that's more popular - that's just how it goes!

So it's with a heavy heart that I inform the world that the incredible work of Myke's Photos proved to be Too Sexy for the likes of Instagram trolls, and he is starting over with a brand new account. So go follow, won't you!

You won't be disappointed, you've got the JNT Guarantee on that! (and here's just a sample of some of our amazing work together...)

So if you're on the Instagram, please go give @MYKESHOOTER a follow! His work is way too good for a measly 200 followers.

And just to be fair! While it super sucks that his account shut down, Myke is quite used to his art being Too Damn Sexy for the general public - check out his Too Hot For Facebook page on tumblr for the really good shizz ;D

PS and I hope you're already following me too..?? @TheJinNTonic <3

Sunday night I popped onto instagram one last time as I was about to go to bed. I hadn't planned to post anything but the social media, zombie-like-virus I've cultivated for the past four years wanted to see how many new likes and followers I'd gotten in the last couple of hours, and my thumb was twitching to do some double-tapping before heading to dream land. 

The first 12 posts I saw were all tributes to David Bowie, and the news of his death left me completely stalled.

My incredible friend (Nymph) Gwendolyn Jane texted me moments later,

"I has a sad."

She was floored too.

The next day another model friend, the talented and feisty Natalia aka Nova, messaged me to see if I could cover her for a figure modeling gig. She had already been sick, she said, and the news of Bowie's death had her too sad to leave her bed.

I felt the same.

The album art of my next album, "My Next Album is Dropping," dropping Springtime 2093

What's incredible, is that my dear friend Gwen lost her brother the day after Christmas. I had met Bond a number of times and he was a truly unique and bright light in this world, and the hurt my dear friend felt was palpable. I spent three hours holding her for a photo shoot as she let some of the emotions artistically vent through her incredible posing, but I didn't cried at all. Two days later, Arizona Shootout organizer and ornery old bastard/close, fastfriend David Hall died alone in an Arizona hospital. I had helped him run the last two events; I had driven him and fought with him and helped him put away groceries and listened to the stories his non-existent children would never pass on. I found out that he died via facebook, and I had no tears. Yesterday I received an email sent to a collective group of photographers and models in the Seattle area that a model, while working at her bikini barista job, was thrown from her kiosk in a propane explosion and died the next day. She was a mother of two. Still nothing.

​There's been a lot of death in quite comfortably close circles to me recently, but not once was I moved to tears.

But the fact that David Bowie, a man who's career I'm honestly only superficially familiar with, died after a year and a half battle with cancer...? 

I've cried every day.
