For my first #JNT Monthly Photo Shoot of 2015, I wanted to do something a little different....

Perhaps this looks familiar from my accidental thrice posting of it on instagram. If it doesn't, it's because you're not following me on instagram. Click the pic to change that!

Ok, so if you know me at all, that actually wasn't very different from my usual Shoot Shenanigans ("shoonanigans"). I did however have an incredible first photo shoot with photographer Ray Gutierrez of Strange Beautiful Art (check him out) at my new Hollywood HQ.

Some of you may remember a recent facebook profile photo of mine that really got some attention... 

I wonder why?? Just call me Jin N Tittaylicious...

This photo BLEW THE FUCK UP! And quite deservedly so. It is a gorgeous shot and only one of my favs from my photo shoot with "David K Studio," a versatile and simplistic photographer in the LA area.

Want to see more of my favs? Of course you do.

Oh, the perks to living in Los Angeles! I often have friends that come and visit (check out Tea Time with Jin!) and I am "forced" to venture out and See the Sites. One destination that almost always makes the list...? Shopping in Hollywood. Duh.

As with all shopping ventures, sometimes I walk out empty handed. *So sad, right??* On these such occasions I return home, my wallet happy but my heart weighed down with deep, soul-searching questions . . .

'Why the fuck do shorts cost MORE than jeans??'

'Why the fuck isn't there a committee in charge of mercilessly executing the guilty parties behind improperly lit dressing rooms??'

'Why the fuck am I at least three different body types?? Am I, like, a friggen People Platypus??'

Days like these, I know that a little retail therapy and living life as a confident, properly-lit adult were just not meant to be. The other days however, the triumphant shopping days that fill me with inspiration and help tone my arms from all the bags I hafta carry back up to my apartment, make my little modeling heart happy!

So let's chat about the most recent occasion that . . .

. . . I left with more than I had planned!

My last such adventure was on Mah Ma'Fuckin' Burfday and led me to a fabulous shop called Love Melrose (I bet you can't guess what street it's on). And, of course, you already know that the universe sent me to the perfect photographer and an incredible location to properly model my new additions!

So typically here is where I would put a little intro paragraph about the shoot, followed by the behind the scenes video, and then a bunch of photos taken the day of with lots of "funny" captions and yada yada before FINALLY at the very end of my post revealing the amazing finished photo. This shit's fuckin' fantastic though so I'm just going to post it and you can feel free to click around for all the fun behind the scenes stuff. . . . Or not =) You're welcome!

While I was figuring out my theme for my September JNT Monthly Photoshoot, the idea of 'Back to School' was brought up a few times...

I said fuck that. 

       Jin N Tonic doesn't go back to school.

Actually, I went back to school for 18 years soooo.... Yeaaaah.

August! The hottest month of summer. The month of road trips, camp outs, and BBQs before September and all the responsibilities that fall brings. What could be more fitting then, for my Monthly JNT Photoshoot, than a LATEX photoshoot??

There was a lot of love for this behind the scenes shot! Follow on instagram @thejinntonic

I was so excited to team up with Drew Driskell Photography and Twila Jean Vintage to make this shoot happen!! Click below to see the amazing photos, and to check out my August 2013 JNT Print of the Month!!!

I first got the idea for my July JNT "Lady Liberty" shoot while participating as a hair model for the Wella Trend Vision contest (post on that soon to come!). I saw how easily I could get my hair to liberty spike and immediately envisioned Punk Rock Lad Liberty. I really wanted to push the concept though, and spent many hours discussing with photographer/bodypainter Todd Powers and his wife artist/wardrobist Jen Raven regarding just what message I wanted to convey, and how to properly convey it. Thus, Lady Liberty, Bound & Gagged was also created.

This is the first time I've really pushed my art into the realm of 'political statement,' and I'm so excited with how everything has turned out.. But I am even more excited to see the world's reaction to this shoot!

How fitting that I was in Bakersfield, a dry, dusty desert area known for it's sweltering summers, for my June photo shoot. The theme of this one?

Hot! Hot! HOT!!

You heard the gal, there's fire involved!

While talking shop with Carlos Murillo Photography one absurdly warm February day in Bakersfield, it came up that he would absolutely LOVE to shoot at Wonderland Studios in Anaheim and take advantage of the amazing Wonderland Corsets. Would I be interested, he asked? 

Ummmm........

It was a GREAT day.

Cheri Wilson Chagollan, the incredible creator of Wonderland Corsets and owner of Wonderland Studios, was such a sweetheart and had so much fun styling me that I wanted to stay and play 'dress up' as her little doll forever and ever!

All adventures must come to an end, however, and this one most certainly did NOT end in me eating PIE and hot chocolate for dinner. NOPE.
