So, my face hurts from smiling. Why you might ask?
I got to work with my favorite band EVER, The Impossibles on recreating an image of one of the best EP's of all time!! (if you were in the punk/ska scene in Texas in the 90's you know all about The Impossibles, I'm sure) Hahah!
So here is the original that came out in 1998, I was just 15 then! Their music has been a huge part of my life for 14 years now, so you can understand why I have been freaking out!!!! haha!
Yesterday, Zephyr & Radeo helped me create this, I can't thank them enough! This really is a dream come true for me! (Just ask Radeo & Zephyr, I have been gushing like crazy woman! Hahah) If you have never listened to The Impossibles before, you are seriously missing out! (and you should really get on that.. Just sayin.... )
Plus, I got tickets to BOTH reunion shows in Austin in June! I couldn't be happier!
Let me know if you are a fan & have tickets to the shows!
Here are some cell phone snaps from the shoot yesterday!

Last month Luscious & I headed out early one morning to meet up with Sunhsine on one of our many adventures!
After a 9 hour drive we wound up in Longbranch, New Jersey (where I was born hahah... I moved to Texas when I was 2... but I spent EVERY summer with family on the jersey shore growing up... my Mom has a lot of sisters.. haha)
This beach is literally 1 block from the house I was born in... So strange to think of how different my life would have been if my parents never moved.
I had to take Luscious to a north Jersey shore Tradition... The Windmill! (if you know me well, you have heard me speak of the glory that is The Windmill... The best hot dog in the world! (sorry Dirty Franks... you are a close second...)
Luscious experiencing The Windmill amazingness for the first time!
These guys are making magic I tell you!
Then Luscious & I enjoyed our Windmill in the traditional fashion...
Then we stopped by the house I was born in! Crazy.... I literally only remember the stairwell of this house... So strange that it still seems so familiar though.
Luscious is experienced in making wonderful mixed drinks in old water bottles...
Our hotel was right near Sandy Hook!
So we enjoyed a Sunset walk on the bay side of Sandy Hook....
We had such a great time getting her boobs out on the beach... We decided to come back at sunrise the next day and shot a little something special that you can view AUG 21st!
Howling at the moon!
Livin' it up on the streets of Atlantic Highlands, NJ!
Oh yeah, a little sneak peak of Luscious's new set! (AUG 21st.. Don't forget haha)
After shooting Luscious we FINALLY met up with Yankee_ & Sunshine to wait for the boat to NYC!
We actually missed our boat by seconds... ugh.. but it turned out to be a total blessing in disguise, because while we were waiting... We met Bill_, she walked by and I was immediately in love! We chatted her up a bit, met her adorable pup, and made plans to shoot her when we got back to New Jersey! SWOON! (There will be more about the lovely Bill_ a bit later in this blog!)
After about 3 hours of waiting & hanging out with Bill_ (she works as a female deck hand.. how hot is that) our boat finally arrived!!!!! Gah... Getting sidetracked about how awesome Bill_ is again... Crap..
My god, she is breathtaking! It was such a dream come true to meet her, let alone SHOOT her... My god! I can't wait till everyone sees what we have in the works!
We had 1 night of going for a drink with the girls! The rest of the trip we were SOOO exhausted from shooting so we wound up resting! Ugh! I wish I could have gotten out more for hangouts! Oh well! Next time!
This girl is so beautiful, smart, strong & interesting... I feel honored to even know her, let alone shoot her! She is a superb person in general & I wish I could see her more (sorry for the sap... Auriga, I love you!)
This was my first time meeting her, after wanting to shoot her for a few years so I was so so so happy she was into shooting in my favorite location in Noho! She rocked it too! That is another set I can not WAIT for you guys to see!
What a fabulous bunch of ladies!
Trying to make the shot "Facebook Friendly"! So, sadly it was time to leave our swanky Noho Loft.... We were so sad, we didn't want to go...
But the second I saw the room & the view to where we were staying.... I quickly forgot about how bad I wanted to stay in Noho! bahahah!
After the long day of shooting and moving 15 pieces of luggage (yes 15 pieces, for 3 girls... in our defense, there was a lot of photo equipment involved... but yeah.... ) across NYC with out a car, to get a nice dinner to reward ourselves after the long day!
Yum
The next morning Luscious & I found a diner for some breakfast!
She is such a beauty! I love her adorable accent too!
Right after Avian's set we took the boat back to New Jersey...
and since we had a little free time I just had to take Sunshine & Luscious to Point Pleasant... My family took me there so much as a kid... Its amazing how much that place has stayed the same... well except now the give out Angry Bird plushes as prizes instead of Trolls... But it is truly timeless! I love it!
My favorite boardwalk ride growing up!!!
Classic!
Swings!
Sunshine & Luscious with our loot! We really cleaned house at Whac-A-Mole!
Feets!
The next morning we got up and shot Bill_ on a boat owned by the company she works for!
She is one badass lady! I was so impressed with literally everything about her!
Sadly after shooting Bill_, we headed back to Ohio...
I really owe Sunshine and Luscious a huge thanks for making the whole trip even possible! I really this it was one of THE most fun road trips ever! I really can't wait to go on more Adventures with Sunshine & Luscious!
Speaking of adventures, I'll be going to the UK in September with Luscious! I'm so excited/nervous! I have never been out of the US before! I know I know.. so lame. I am still so so so exciteddddd to go.. its basically all I can think about!!! That... and.... HELL CITY!!! OMG! We pack the truck tomorrow!
There are so many amazing girls coming I don't even know what to do! Plus all my usual PHX favorites! I can't wait to see you all! SO SOON!
Welllll.. since we pack the truck tomorrow I should probably stop blogging & finish packing....
Ugh why do I always blog right before I leave for something! Bad planning.. bahah!
YAY! Off to Miami this week with Durb, Luscious & Dane!!!!!
So excited! Anyone gonna be at Tattoolapalooza!???? I can't wait to party with my tattoo convention family! Also, I'll be around shooting all weekend! So excited to shoot some hot new Florida ladies for SG!
