All I want for Christmas, you ask..? Lots of things. Like, a lot of things. I'm a material girl living in Los Angeles and making her way in one of the most high-maintenance career choices possible!

As many of you may know, I spend a good amount of my time Holding Very Still For Strangers. aka figure modeling for various art groups (mostly) in Los Angeles! As I've been taking some time off from travel during this Holiday aka Festively-Plump-Jin Season, I've had the pleasure of posing my little butt off at least three times a week at different groups all over this Damn City. It's a blast! 

one of the rare clothed moments, sharing the stage with your typical Hollywood babe. If you think I look good here (i do) wait til you see the art!

One of my favorite artists here in LA I met two years ago at my first Dr. Sketchy's event, and I have since had the pleasure of posing for the talented pencils of Nikolai Drjuchin on a number of occasions. 

​Go ahead and feel free to pronounce that last name however you'd like to. I do. It's usually something like "Dr. jxkcuchkle." As you can see, there's so much to like about Dr. Jxkcuchkle's unique, colorful, exaggerated, graceful, and edgy style.

#CantTouchThis

Nikolai is a total dear and very committed to his talents. After some.. gentle .. email harassment *cough cough,* he sent me a number of sketches of yours truly from a recent, costumed event. They're all just SO DAMN GOOD that it would be unnecessarily cruel of me to not share ALL of them..

You may not know, but little ol' Jin got her modeling start in acting. In fact, I was a part of three independent films, a web series, and a TV pilot before I ever stepped in front of an actual photography camera (if you don't count high school senior photos that is .. which I actually kinda do...)

That being said, I find that there are many similarities between the two; acting and modeling; and I enjoy every chance I get to flex my acting muscles at a shoot and really delve into a character...

Especially, when it is such a well known and admired character as the one (kinda) and only (kinda) - Dr. Who!

​Lots more sexy/cute photos where this one came from..

So I'm sure you all remember how my Timing In Life is Perfect? It's true. How else would I have ended up at the inaugural art exhibite curated by photographer/retired model Kira Bucca in a giant warehouse in Brooklyn this last Saturday? AKA The Chi Chi Factory Show #1 . Or, as I'm going to call it, #AdventuresInBrooklyn SLASH The Night of Great Penises.

The NSFW images are about to happen, and trust me, you're going to want to see these, and not for any of the reasons that you think you'd like to see these. Promise.

​Keep reading, my loves ...  ;D

One of my favorite foods is avocado. On a salad, by itself, with chips and salsa, whatever. I love it. Interesting fact, that love began during my college travels throughout Ecaudor, when I discovered that every sammich I ordered had some amazing, new, secret ingredient that made everything ten times better. Ever since, I've eaten avocados regularly. And these days, as a SoCal, nearly-vegan, I consume a fair amount of 'em.

Living in LA of course I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to the amazing Green Goodness that is Avocado. There's no shortage of them around here. In fact, I have friends with an avocado tree growing within reach of their patio, and we pick fresh Avo's all year round. 

Keep Reading (this one's short, I swear)..

Yesterday was a day. Well, I mean, every day is a day. But yesterday... was A Day. It’s what most people would likely refer to as “A Monday,” even though it was actually Tuesday. You see, the thing about making your own schedule and working 24/7, is that A Monday can happen any day of the week. The following photo, sent to me by a Philadelphia photographer with whom I did not get to work (more on that later) quite accurately describes my yesterday...

Oh! BTW, who wants to see Jurassic World with me!

‘Why am I here [in Philadelphia]??’ the stressed out and panicky side of me kept asking.

‘You are exactly where you need to be.’ the oh-so-not-at-all-yet-enlightened-but-i’m-trying-god-dammit side of my mind would respond.

But seriously? Here? I purposely flew away from my lovely, brown, stanky, loud LA to Baltimore (gross! why!) and then traveled to DC, to Virginia, and back to DC, then back to Maryland, before failing stupendously at getting myself to Philly aka the Sad Avocado.* Throughout this last week of misadventure, I can't help but to occasionally look around and wonder; Just what the fuck am I doing here?? 

‘This is what you’ve always wanted,’ went the looped recording in my head, ‘You’ve worked hard to be completely independent, to travel the world, and to pay your bills with your talent, gawdammit.’

But now that I finally have it.. Is this really what I want....? 

I recently got kicked off of facebook. It was a bit heartbreaking for a couple reasons. My first thought was to the ten years of photos that I had saved there and no where else. From my adventures through Ecuador, to the birth of my nephew, all those are gone. Secondly, and this is probably surprising considering I'm fucking Jin N Tonic, but I actually really don't like offending anyone. So to be accused of being SO offensive that they had to remove me entirely, actually upset me. And then of course the biggest issue, is how much facebook is used in my line of work.

Before getting kicked off I had spent three FULL days adding new connections in the NE as I was preparing for my first DC-Baltimore-Philly-NYC tour. There was plenty of them who I had messaged, and promised to follow up with, that I then lost contact with. While I don't book directly through FB, that's still bad for business. And it's nice to get to know people outside of email.

The biggest loss however was some of the private modeling groups I was a part of. I've been modeling full-time for three years now, and was honored and excited to be in these groups with so many other models that I have looked up to and admired. 'I've made it' I thought. It felt good getting to 'that next level' and interacting with these other models. Not only are they amazing, gracious, and beautiful people inside and out, but the groups were a tool to help and also to warn each other. I know there's this whole scandal going on about a public "Photographer Black List." None of us were that unprofessional, but we were able to share our experiences both good and bad, and offer contacts and hosts and just advice in general. I hate that I lost that.

Odds are good that I'll be making a new facebook page though, mainly for those reasons. I've gotten asked why I got shut down many, many times now though, and thought I would lay it all out.

It began on a day like any other..
