After returning from my New Year's adventures in NYC, I was excited to be invited back to be part of another Barbie Love Fashion show, starring TIM'S models and Mina Koo.

It was a beautiful, sunny October day as I made my way from San Francisco to Sacramento to meet with the creators of Ladies of Steampunk.

But to get there meant my first time driving through a toll booth!! 

I was all - 'Hi! This is my first time! I'm going to take a picture!' He just laughed and was very unsure of what to do.

$5??!! I thought tolls were like... paid in change! $.35 tops! Spendy San Francisco.

Last October I had the amazing opportunity to work with the incredibly talented body painter, and all around amazing person, Trina Merry.

That name sound familiar? This might be why...

A couple weeks ago I saw a post by Tricia Leigh Makeup Artist about needing a model. When I found out it was a shoot with Photos by Amalu, there was no keeping me away!! I had met Amalu last fall at a Deborah Conners Photography group shoot, and am still in love with result of our quick shoot together.

While writing up my "When Working with a Photog for the First Time - *Model Tips*" post, I did a search to include a link to tips for models should the situation get innapropriate (specifically in regards to sexual molestation) and I was appalled by the lack of actual advice. Even in the Model Mayhem threads, a site dedicated to this industry, had nothing of real substance to offer.

The one piece of advice that kept reoccurring was, "Kick him in the balls." 
...
Are you shitting me?!

Some REAL advice is on it's way, click below.

I already knew that I would be in NYC with my fellow model/gypsy besties, Lorelei and Nymph on New Year's Eve and we wanted to party it up big!

How best to celebrate though? A rave? Club hopping? Times Square? Or how about... connecting with NYC designer Hillary Flowers to model at her masquerade, lingerie New Year's Eve party and FASHION SHOW in the incredible Gotham Hall, just a few blocks away from Times Square.

Yeah.. that will work.

I'm in the center of course. You know, 'cause I'm a pimp.

HUGE spanks and kisses to Nymph who caught the casting call on MM! <3

In honor of my FB fanpage reaching 666 followers, I decided to revisit a shoot last Spring that was all about pursuing the darker side of modeling...

After having successfully gained 'real' employment here in Bakersfield, I decided it was high time that I took myself out and celebrated. But first, what to wear?

I don't get to sit down and watch a full movie very often.. but every now and then miracles happen, and now I'm writing about it! At the very least, it's good practice for me.. ;D

And over there to the right are Chris Rock fans circa 1990s ... running the other direction.

Anytime I'm in bakersfield I have to take advantage of working with the incredibly talented Art of Eric James.

showing of my 'proper' attire make up by me, Eric called this the "Neo Geisha" set

turns out Joylyn had ulterior motives in inviting me to this shoot... the infamous "N" pose - not something i would do except with a photographer i truly trust

many have asked and the answer is no. no photoshop was done regarding my nipples. i got lucky with a perfect fit. one of my favs, i call it "Shadowbox Geisha"
