Update

Well, I guess I wasn't able to continue blogging right away. I've been so busy, it's insane. I'm constantly doing a billion (yes, a billion) things at once. My mind is constantly working over time from the moment I wake up till the moment my sleeping pills kick in. I have so much to write about, but I don't have the time so I'll just give a quick update for now and post more about april later.

First, my big project is coming along, but I'm really cutting it close with my deadline. I've been working on a calendar/website for all you Fanboys (and girls) out there called Fanvixens. It's going to feature smoking hot chicks in geek themed scenes. Omg! let me tell you, these girls are top notch beauties, they make me jealous. Oh I'm going to be in it too. I've been having so much fun shooting these lovely ladies, but it's a lot of work to put together. I need the calendar printed before the San Diego comic con and I really want the site to be up and running before then. We'll see. Here's a preview behind the scenes photo of us dorkettes dweebing out after a shoot.^So this isn't the most flattering pic, but we were just having fun after the shoot. I fucking love these girls, and I'm warning you, this shoot was pretty hot and heavy. An often romanticized cat fight...love it.
Oh here's a funny photo from another shoot for the calendar that I did on the rooftop of my home away from home at venice beach. Crowds of people were sort of standing around taking pictures from the hotdog stand. haha. I decided to take a quick snap of some of them.

My parents just moved to the Philippines the other day. Before they left, I did a quick family portrait, which we hadn't done since I was like 8 or something.
^with my parents and 4 sisters- all growed up. Can you imagine the stress of having 5 pretty daughters with attitude problems. haha. I'm the exact middle, two older and two younger. The forgotten child...hence, my out of place pose. haha. =P I really wanted to put together more interesting poses, but this had to be quick. My family waits for no one. Getting everyone to sit in one spot for a few shots was a challenge! This was the only pose where everyone was actually looking at the camera. ^My dad was more into doing some dramatic Greek Hellenistic type poses every other shot. Haha. Now I know where I got that goofy trait.

In June I'm fucking going to ITALY and AMSTERDAM!!! I'm so stoked. This will be my first trip to Europe, so I've been researching like crazy! I'll be hitting up Rome for 4 nights, Florence for 4 nights, Venice for 2 nights then Amsterdam for 3 nights. If anyone's ever been to any of these places hit me up with some ideas for good grubbin' and places that stand out for visiting. I want to do some sort of wine tour in Tuscany and hit up lots of museums and historic sights, but I want to know what's really good. Planning this trip is super overwhelming, even with the help of a great travel agent. There is just so much I want to do! I can't wait! =) My ass is going to be so fat when I get back.
^Ever since I was a kid I wanted to go to Italy because it's shaped like a witch's boot.

I also got some awesome bday gifts. I love the super hot gift I got from Pink ! I also got an awesome gift from Kimberly Tia. I have photos on my pocket cam, but I can't find it at the moment. I am so gonna rock these gifts in some bad ass shoots though...you know how I do. =)
I also was 2nd place in Mimi's drag contest and a runner up for Makeup Mama's drag contest. Tootsie did well with her first contests. =) I have photos of the prizes and such, but those are also on my pocket cam. That thing has to be somewhere in my mess of a room. Eck, I don't even want to think about how messy my place is right now.

Also I got my new place. I'm renting the second unit in my duplex and had them break a whole in the wall, so I have double the space. 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, 4 bedrooms, and (yikes) double rent. I fucking love it though. I'm turning the second living room into a sexy space for photoshoots. It took me 2 days straight to paint the bitch because I did some intense stenciling on one wall, but it came out fucking hot! It's black with a white damask sort of pattern. Back breaking work, I tells ya, but so worth it. I have photos of that on my little camera too!

Man...so much more I want to write about, but I've got to get back to work.
