PICS
5 sets have been shot in the building, 4 have gone live. None of them have ever featured a model who lives here. Personally, I think that's kinda neat! And, I like naked girls running around my apartment.
Salome - Eggs
What you can't see is the 6 or 7 SG's sitting out of frame, drunk and talking loudly, trying to get Salome to laugh. What I *wish* I had a picture of was one of the SG's dogs running into frame and eating all the fake grass!
Zoli - Rooftop Sizzle
The arches behind Zoli are the back of my livingroom windows.
Zoli - Sex
My old downstairs bedroom. I miss the paint color!
I can't even imagine what the checker at Target though of me when I bought supplies for this set. Baby Oil, a fitted sheet, and a roll of thick plastic to go under the sheet so my bed didn't get soaked! The bed made a hilarious plastic crunching sound everytime Zoli moved.
Charm - Celestial (Don't forget to comment, and give Charm some love!!)
Charm is sitting on my cat's favorite chair. About 1/2 way through he decided he had had quite enough, and tried to lay down on his chair for a nap.

Big thank you's to mikewillpukeonu. I had an amazing time shooting this.

What do you think? I can't wait for the color!

Living in Hollywood, you come across the weirdest stuff on the street. And seeing as how I'm a total sucker for "pseudo-artsy" photos, when I find something, I try and snap a few shots of it. Keep in mind I never touch anything. I came and went leaving everything exactly how it was.
I found this doll outside my boss' apartment, in a kinda run down Mexican neighborhood. It reminded me of CSI, or the other cop/investigation/science shows. The way the doll's laying there, clothes torn. Almost like I came upon something that should have been more private than just a grassy patch next to the front door.
A very large old TV and a coffin, thrown off the top of my building, crashing into the alley. The sticker reads "Everything Is Not Going to be Okay".
<3
We came, we saw, we conquered. And yeah, we made a little bit of a mess, were really loud, and probably drank more than normal people should. But then again, when did we ever say we were normal people?
I love Bar 107, even if the photobooth is broken.
The Party...
We had a little too much dork-tastic fun playing Victoria Secret Models while standing by the fan!
I loves my Maxx.

Whilst I dive headfirst into the tretcherous Los Angeles job market waters, (see previous journal entry for explanation on the old job), I need to make some money.
First up are my two prized possessions.....Both paintings by HotCurry, both stunning, in excellent condition, and HUGE.
I bought them for $200/each. You can as well, or best offer...
Next up are the remainder of my paintings.....
Each one done in a different period of my life. I don't have set prices for them, so I'll just take best offer.
I also do commissioned pieces. Rates are:
$175 for 8x10
$250 for 11x14
$300 for 16x20
Or there abouts...It really depends on exact size and intricateness of the piece.
Feel free to post or PM me any questions! Thanks so much guys!! <3

BTW, if you know me, you know how totally true this is:
I'm sitting here sipping on a delicious cup of coffee, after a delicious night out at the bar. Cinder's walking around the house, being cute as a button in her yellow pj's. I figure the last journal's been up long enough, so here's something new to chew on.
I've been m.i.a. for a while due to stress at work, and planning a wedding. (I owe a lot of friends phone calls, and email responses. Lucas, Sam, and Eric...don't give up on me! I'm crawling back out of my hole, I swear!) The wedding turned out amazing, as you'll see in the photos below. Vegas (my first time, and the bride's first time!!) was an incredible experience. Spent a few bucks, lost a few bucks, had some great food, the best company ever, and even got my first sunburn since childhood! I have every intention of going back SOON. But the job? Not so much. I was working for a talent agency for a few months, and ended up quitting due to the high levels of stress and psychosis in the office. And I'm not talking normal job stress...that I can handle. It was more like "Are you fucking kidding me? I could cut the animosity in the air with a butter knife" type of stress. Everyone in the office was against one another, not to mention one of my bosses, who we'll just call "Golden Years Boss" is truly on the verge of senility. It's wasn't really something I needed projected in my direction 8.5 hours a day. Especially for the pennies a day they were paying me, which caused more financial stress than I care to discuss. So, I may have two dollars to my name, but I know I made the right decision leaving. And if I've proven anything over the last year, it's definitely that I'm great at finding the next job just in the nick of time.
In other non-stress/job/financial news, I'm great. Cinder is a DREAM roommate, and fucking cool to boot. Her, LanaPants, and I have been spending significant amounts of time at the bar...and loving ever minute of it. If you head down to Burgundy Room on any night of the week, we're probably already there. And can be easily identified by our ridiculous "Outdated Dance Move Wars", or our loud obnoxious conversations held entirely in Double Talk.
And in final news, I have the most amazing boyfriend ever. He's gorgeous and sweet, although he'll heavily protest otherwise. We went to see the new Indiana Jones movie the other night...a 3:30am showing! I don't think I can't explain how surreal it is to have a full night out, then go to a movie, and come out of the theatre just after the break of dawn. It's almost as if you passed through the day, and came out the other end, looking at it from the wrong side. I rather enjoyed it. Someone please remind me to spend more nights out like that, just experiencing things as they are, instead of being stuck in my head and missing it all. As for the actual film, it was action cheese-tastic. I kinda loved it. Yes, there were some things I wouldn't have ever put in the movie, but overall I'll say they did a great job. I can't imagine it would be easy to take such a heavily loved classic trilogy, and attempt to updated it for a new generation's tastes and short attention spans. Not many have succeeded. (::cough::: Star Wars :::cough:::: ) So, for what it was, Indy was great.
And now? The photos.
Enjoy. I'll be back to update again...eventually. <3

Manda, BraveArt, Maxx and I went to a 33 Degrees show on the West Side.
Clearly the best way to follow that up is with a Taco Bell parking lot picnic!!
Kitty. Manda and I getting dressed for a night out.
Viva Las Vegas (The Nights Out)!!
Viva Las Vegas (The Wedding)...Which my camera died shortly before the start of...
A few of us met up downtown for the annual PILLOW FIGHT!! In true SG fashion, Cosi and I almost missed it because we stopped for a beer.
My new hero is the fighter wearing the unicorn hat/cape thingy. If you see him, tell him he's awesome.
Oh, god, it was a total massacre. So...many....feathers....
All the people were nice enough to help with the clean up. Which, of course, was almost just as fun as the actual fight. I ended up ankle deep in a pile of floaty soft feather fun.
And then Maxx got into some trouble...
Fresh out of the fight, Subway sammiches in hand, we wandered around Downtown for a bit.
The city was full of hustle and bustle that day...Look what we found in the middle of the street!
Then we did what any normal 20somethings would do after a city wide pillow fight...
WE WENT TO THE BAR! We drank, we watched two Derby Dolls get into a HUGE fight, we traded sunglasses, talked with the other patrons, bugged "local safety patrol" guards. And in the total fabulousness that we are, Cosi and I took some great photobooth shots.
