PICS
^ In case you forgot what I look like.
Hi guys!
I have been so busy, wow. I can't believe how long it's been since I did a proper update on here! Right now, it is really hot and muggy in my house and I just want to turn on the A/C but I'm going to have a shower in a minute so there probably isn't much point, huh.
I have been really busy making money, my goal for this year is to get myself a morgage. Who knew that getting yourself into debt required so much saving! I've been really focussed, getting there slowly. Also been doing the usual 'get naked' thing, here's proof:
I have so many plans this year, I finished the first draft on my chic lit manuscript (well, one or two chapters need filling in but the story line is done and written out), my business designing buildings is going okay and dancing and camming are keeping me busy too. Sometimes I forget that I don't have much of a social life because I work with people all night long. But I am going camping this weekend with some friends from SG so that's going to be awesome!
If you want to keep up with me here's how you do it:
Tumblr
Webcam Shenannigans
Canberra Shenannigans
Exkyu and I shot a set for a friend, she doesn't have an account yet, but when her set gets accepted into MR it will be BellaBoom so keep your eyes peeled for that! Here's a teaser:
I believe I'm next in Exkyu's list of people to photograph for SG so I will let you know when that happens!
Enjoy!

Some pictures from the last couple of weeks:
Oh my life is SO awful...
^ She wants to be an SG... thoughts?
^ Still can't believe that is *my* tummy. Pole dancing = weightloss and fitness. All I can really say.
My graduation consisted of 3 SGAU members... It officially counts as an SGAU meetup.
This is me being all "mission accomplished" heh.
This is where I've been spending a LOT of time, I was in the first 1000 on Pottermore. That's how much of a crazy Jo fan I am:
And a bit of nationalism:
I'm about 4mins away from watching the new Underbelly Razor... so pumped!!
Have a good one.

Its really sad (to me at least) that upwards of 90 people lost their lives to a psychotic gunman in Norway, yet the headline of all the newspapers at the moment is about some singer who died. Do we really value the life of one entertainer SO much more than almost 100 'ordinary' people? Its a familiar pattern though. Someone doing an 'entertainment role' (say webcamming or stripping or MCing or anything really) is valued so much more highly than the person doing the same amount of work behind the scenes. Compare the salary of a catalogue model (even just the basic ones that stand in shop windows looking fancy) to the retail slave that is actually running the shop and processing the sales. I never felt so undervalued and EXPLOITED than when I was a retail slave. Ironic, considering my current weekend job.
I've been so run off my feet lately. I barely get a chance to check SG each week! Hopefully I will get better at balancing things moving forward. Someone even asked me on my Tumblr account if I was dead (gee, thanks). I'm not. I'm actually doing pretty good! Getting lots of good healthy food, exercise and sleep. Just need to go outdoors in the sun once in a while and I will be set! Damn nocturnalism.
I'll do a more proper update later (once my new laptop is set up and ready to go). I would type more but this keyboard is AWFUL! I hope this finds all of you well. All my love. <3

WARNING: Drama ahead!
This blog has been bouncing around in the cogs of my brain for about a month now. I don't want it to sound wrong so I'm going to have to figure out the right way of SAYING it. I suppose the first thing I need to talk about is the reality of being a SG in Australia (or even just living in Australia) so here are the facts:
* There are about 20 SG's in Australia and 500 members of SGAustralia (our local regional group) and 55 Aussie hopefuls (a sizeable bunch really).
* There are NO staff photographers in Australia .
* There is MadDame who is trying for Official Photographer - she lives 870km (aka: 539 miles) away from me.
* There is another hub of SG activity (Scotty, Tez, Zombia etc) who are actively turning out sets - they live 940km (584 miles) away from me.
* I don't even live in some piss pot country town. I'm a Sydney girl.
* In my photoset City Elite, MadDame was shooting AND in the background there are the following Interstate SG's: Scotty, Allura, Sin as well as the hopeful Ainslie. All up, there was over 3300km (2000 miles) of travel in order to get everyone there and several months planning on my part that had gone into shooting that set.
* So far the set's gotten 988 comments. That's 3km/comment (2miles/comment) and I don't even want to think about the $/comment, let's not worry about that. I'm not complaining about that, I'm not in SG for the money anyway.
My conclusion?
Neither SG or you guys appreciate what a mammoth effort it is to shoot something of this scale in this country. Nothing like this set has ever been attempted in Australia before. And I'm guessing that by the response, nothing like this will EVER be attempted in Australia again. I hope that the issue isn't *me* letting down the set. But judging by the first set I shot (5000+ comments just shot on a cheap DSLR with a kit lens out in a mate's paddock) I assume it is not.
At the time I shot City Elite I was really excited about it. All these Aussie members and SG's getting together (many of whom had never met one another before). The community was alive and kicking. Girls were meeting other girls. Photographers were coming out of the woodwork, several sets were being shot, new girls with amazing photographic talent were appearing, hopefuls were making friends, we had our most successful SGAU Ball of all time with over 75 members attending. Even Team Perth came along for the ride! I was so psyched to be shooting a new set because I had gotten SO many messages from members about doing another one. And even a message from SG to do another. I was on top of it. Getting the forefront photographer in the country on board and a bunch of other girls too. Seven Aussie SG's met up all at once which is a record for us. We had a great night and I answered the query "so tell me about SG" more than a handful of times. And SG were *finally* considering putting up a booth at the tattoo conventions that happen all over the country.
And since then? Nothing.
I am not implying that American sets or South African sets or sets from anywhere else do not have a lot of effort go into them. I am just stunned at the sheer lack of local support (and support from abroad) for a country that many would argue have the HOTTEST population of women in the world (yes, I just said that). Among others; This set, this set, this set this set and my set should all be live by now. The last Aussie set to go up was my debut which went up on June 2009. What is going on with TeamAustralia that we are lagging behind so badly?
You know what the worst part is? I am still getting messages from guys asking "when are you going to shoot a set again". It makes me so mad that you guys don't appreciate how difficult this is. When will I be shooting again? When I have some random lonely days off to fly interstate to get one done! Or when I have the funds to burn on a fancypants camera and photographer hire.
So I hope this stirrs the pot a bit. I want it to. We need local support if SG Australia is ever going to be anything more than a group of guys and girls that sits around and admires the beauty of foreign girls and not our own. And a handful of super hot members that are too frightened to try shooting because they know that they won't get anywhere. SG is willing to send merch to Australia, our Annual Ball can be massive, we can have booths at local conventions and maybe even burlesque tours. All it takes is a bit of fucking effort. A bit too much it seems.
As for my set? Enjoy the dream while it lasts, I doubt I'll be keeping it up much longer.
I love you SG, but I can imagine so much more.

So! To make up for that fantastically boring blog the day before yesterday, I bought some cute white knickers (have you noticed that knickers never STAY cute and white? After a wash or two they end up off-white. What's that about). And a white top and made a sexy video. This baby was so much fun to shoot. Its longer than just this, but the rest 'aint for free... haha, always a catch, isn't it? Also, a few of you have never seen me actually moving around before (just still images) which is a little weird. So here, I am a real person! 
Do you guys enjoy seeing this stuff? Or do you prefer pics? Or plain 'ol Member Review sets. Which reminds me. Ahem.

So all this time the link for my fanclub on here has been wrong! Oops! I was wondering why I wasn't getting any new subscriptions! So I fixed it and made a tinyurl for you guys to use so you don't forget. Just go to http://tinyurl.com/CountessCWH to get over there. Easy peasy!
I'm struggling to think about what to type but I have been advised to 'just start writing random stuff' and hopefully something interesting will come out. Err... yeah I really can't think of anything that's particularly exciting. I would be on cam right now but I have a malicious headache and it feels like my head has been overstuffed with cotton wool and its about to pop out of my ears. My jaw is sore too. I'm not sure what's going on, this only happened about two hours ago. I had a really long nap this afternoon, it was supposed to only be for half an hour but I just had to stay sleeping for a little longer... which turned into several hours. And now my head hurts and there are no tasty treats in the house and I'm not sure what to do about the situation.
See? This really isn't a very exciting blog. Maybe I should try again tomorrow.
