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!

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).

Halloween is an interesting time of year for those of us that are 1. Not that into candy and 2. Get paid on the daily to dress up and create costumes all year round. Perhaps that is why I kind of took the easy (and non-skanky! weird!) route on my costume for Brooke Mason's swanky ass Halloween party at her beautiful, four story studio in the heart of Hollywood.

""Jin N Tonic." What the hell kind of name is that? It's like some sort of superhero or something." ~ "What makes you think I'm not?" ;)

Plan O.G. 'Come on, Jin! You tooootally have the hips and tits of an 8 year old. You can totes pull this off!'

While my bone-tastic (what?) costume was actually plan B after my first dress up attempt failed (kid's costume turned slutty pink poodle resulted in uncomfortable, hulk-like Poodle Jin. No bueno), I think it's more than fair to say that I rocked it.  Duh.

Hoooollleeeeey fuck, have I been busy! And it's been a total blast! After a few weeks of traveling (and of course shooting), I'm back in my HQ in LA and have been busy doing Awesome every day! It's taken me a week but I finally have a new #JNT video update to share, with lots of sneak peak photos from my travels and a look at my crazy-amazing first week back!

I also have TONS of photos I want to share from my recent Friday night as Jordan Bunniie's 'plus one' to the VIP opening of the Hello Kitty exhibit opening at the Japanese American National Museum (JANM) in the Little Tokyo area of downtown. LA.

Can you say *Adorable*?? And I, of course, looked appropriately fantastic ;) Click below to see the photos of my fabulousness and to learn more about the art and artists of this amazing HELLO KITTY event!

Sometimes, when life has become overwhelming and stressful for a few weeks too many (I'm blaming the crazy moon, on top of my equally crazy schedule), you just need to dress up like a Bunny Princess and go get the fuck drunk, ya know?

No reason needed, just because Fuck Yeah.

And dress up like a Bunny Princess I did! I believe the kids and club douchebags would refer to this as "YOLO." For all you fashion curious, there will be deets on my outfit at the end of the post! (Bwahaha!)

Luckily, I actually had an amazing reason to do just that! Introducing an appropriately badass #JNT blog post in celebration of one very special, Art-driven, Booty Shakin', Free Hot Dog-fueled, Dr. Sketchy's event in Hollywood, CA!

Click below for all the [slightly scandalous] photos from this event and to learn more about why you suck for missing it, and how you can join the fun next time (no matter where you are)!

Hi everyone!! So I've got much to celebrate at the moment. It all started with Step One this last Saturday.. I quit my non-model job! 

It's these kinds of 'normal faces' that I make that has everyone giving me incredulous looks when I tell them that I'm a model.

In honor of his first private photo gallery showing "èmotion" today at the
Utah Arts Alliance in SLC, I decided to revisit some photos from my shoots
with the incredibly talented artist, and inspiring friend,
Chris Madsen of Square Pixel LLC Photography.

Here is the newest edit sent to me a couple weeks ago while revamping old photos to get ready for his first solo show.

Since I first met Square Pixel in June of 2012, he has gained a lot of
(very much deserved!) recognition in the photography and art world.

It is amazing how many times in life, one opportunity will lead to another. While filming "Honor Among Thieves" in Boise, Idaho back in the summer of 2011, another door was opened to me, one that I had always dreamed of. 

Most of the filming took place at a glorious mini-mansion owned by an incredible artist and dear friend Peter Iverson. One day, while on set in my 'I've Lost My Mind' make up, Pete asked if he could paint me.

"It's about damn time!" was my response.
