PICS
New peektures! I got to wear glitter! This one was fun. The photographer used to be an avid runner in his younger days. He had a hip replaced about 2 months ago but trekked along all over the Michigan woods to shoot with me. He's been really cool since the shoot too. He introduced me to April Berry who works with the local photographers I've been shooting with and she makes great pics. He took us out to lunch so I could pick her brain about clothes and how to do my hair since hers is almost as long as mine. Now I have ideas for things other than straight! I can't wait to start playing with some of her styling suggestions.
Anyway, here's the photo dump.
More to come. I've already had a shoot since this one, and I have another one in a week, and so on into infinity it seems.

Verizon upsold me a shitty defective LG Revolution last October. I'm now on my third of this shitty defective phone. I asked what they plan to do about this since all of the replacements have had identical issues. The response I got was they would keep replacing them with the exact same phone which clearly comes only with defective software until I give in and pay for an entirely different phone. Mind you I'm not having issues with any apps I'm downloading, only the LG keyboard and processing software. Does anyone know how I can force Verizon or LG to either give me my money back or give me a phone that works? I'm quite frankly sick of being walked all over in nearly every part of my life and I've about had it with this piece of shit restarting itself while I'm in the middle of something or the keyboard taking minutes to crash while I'm trying to type something, the fucking weather app freezing the phone trying to update, and generally acting like about a million things are running in the background and everything moving slower than a computer from the 80's. No, this is not user error. I'm not a moron and I get along fairly well with technology. I have to pull the battery a few times a week because the whole phone freezes and won't do anything. I'm tired of this.
More modeling! Sorry to be posting nothing but my modeling pics but I've done a shit load of shoots lately. I had 3 last week, 2 this week, and 1 a week until the end of August. None are paying except two. Sigh. At least I'm having fun trying lots of things.
These were taken on Saturday by Bill Strome. I almost pissed myself when he asked if I would like to shoot with him because he's one of the best in my area. The body paint was done by Inkblot98 free hand on the beach off the top of her head. I think they came out awesome!
These were taken at the same time by Inkblot98. The different perspectives of the same thing are pretty amazing to me.

Here are more of the edited figure study photos. They came out pretty awesome.
We're planning to do this again sometime this summer.

I'm a busy busy girl. I spent yesterday in GR because I had two shoots. One I planned, a figure study shoot with a guy I met on the shoot we did last night that's a multi part clusterfuck.
This guy is really cool, laid back, and easy going. We got along well at the other shoots we're doing together and he has a pretty killer body so I asked if he'd like to get naked and do some figure study together. He said sure. His wife didn't even care as long as we didn't do anything naughty. The photographer really liked how things came out so he already photoshopped one of the pics. Here's what we made!
It was loads of fun basically climbing all over him and he was a really good sport about it. I need to go through the proofs and let the photographer know which other pics I want edited and once I get those back I'll post more.
We started the figure study shoot at 5 yesterday evening, then had another shoot together at 9pm. That one got done around midnight. Instead of driving the hour home I stayed the night at Inkblot98's house and got to share the guest bed with another one of the super hot female models who also didn't want to make an hour trek home the other way from me. Too bad neither of us are into girls huh?
This morning Inkblot's hubby made us wild berry blintzes from scratch. They were so good! After that I finally came home to yelling kitties and chores to do. I got all my laundry and cleaning done and decided to tackle a few other projects.
The paint in the bathroom needed to be touched up so I did that and got some pictures framed and hung in what I hope isn't an awkward place.
I finally found time to paint recently and now that they're done and dry I got the paintings hung in my guest room. I hung them a bit high so if someone sits up in bed against the wall they don't lean on them and so if I get a headboard I won't have to move them.
Now I'm exhausted from sleeping 5 hours last night and running around all day.

I was randomly thinking my birthday this year is going to suck. I was thinking that because it will be my last in my 20's and my last birthday kind of sucked and I thought "Geez that was the worst birthday ever." Pretty much all of my friends either bailed on me or made it all about them. How hard is it to come over to my house for a few drinks and go out to dinner? GAH!
Then I remembered my 23rd birthday and thought that was the worst. My maid of honor and bridesmaid took me shopping for clothes to wear on my honeymoon cruise in a few weeks. They did such a good job convincing me that in the midst of my wedding everyone forgot my birthday. I ended up crying in a dressing room calling my fiance to tell him fuck shopping I'll wear what I already have and I'm coming home. He called one of the girls with me and told them to stop making me feel bad. They kept talking about the plans they had that night basically once they could get rid of me and how much fun they would have like they were doing me some huge fucking favor by giving me a few hours of their time. They finally took me home to a lackluster "surprise!" Everyone who had been waiting at my surprise party could tell that all was not well and things were weird and tense. My maid of honor said she was bored and was leaving. I kind of snapped. She didn't give me a bachelorette party or a bridal shower and had been totally useless as maid of honor. I walked out of my own apartment to avoid making a scene and of course she followed me and told me all about what a shitty friend I had been and how hard she had worked putting this surprise party together. My fiance had been right behind both of us and then screamed at her telling her she did nothing. Everyone left and I had no party.
But oh wait. My 12th was worse. The day before my 12th birthday I had been hit by a car because a 17 year old kid ran a stop sign. The cop tried to blame it on me saying I was the one who should have been paying better attention. The kid got off without a ticket and the fucking cop didn't even call me an ambulance. I couldn't walk and I hadn't been wearing a helmet and couldn't tell him if I hit my head or not. He was kind enough to cal my friend's mom who was with me so she could drive me to the ER since we couldn't get a hold of either of my parents because my dad was out of town on business and my mom was at her own doctors appointment. On my actual birthday I was home alone because my brother had to go to school, my mom was back at work, and my dad was still in Florida. Nothing in my knee was broken but there was soft tissue damage so I had crutches and it hurt like all hell and I wasn't up to going to school for a few days. I grew up in a 2 story house and decided to spend most of the day upstairs in bed watching TV since I was by myself. I got up and crutch/limped my way into the bathroom for some water. I remember looking at my watch and it was about 10:50am. When I was to the bathroom door the world went black, I knew I was falling, I knew I hit my head on the door but didn't feel it, and I was out before hitting the carpet in the hallway. I woke up around 11am to the phone ringing. I started crying and wasn't really thinking so I got up and answered the phone. It was my dad. He asked what I was doing home from school, why I was crying, and where the hell was my mom. I told him what happened and he got really concerned. He called his friend's wife who was a stay at home mom to come check on me. She came over and checked me out to make sure my head wasn't bleeding anywhere and I didn't have a concussion. When I fell I landed on me knee again so I got to be in that much more pain.
Yup, that was the worst birthday ever. I think I'll spend my next one alone doing something I want to do since friends fuck things up and if I leave the house I'll probably end up hurting myself.
Does anyone have a shitty birthday story to share?

So busy! Here's what's been going on in the last monthish since I've been on here.
My foot is still bothering me from the half marathon so I'm finally going to get it checked out in a week. I'm sure nothing is broken since walking doesn't hurt and nothing hurts to the touch. I think it's a sprain or strain, or possibly a bone spur because of where it's sore.
My promotion at work is going well. My bosses say I'm doing great. One hinted that after a month I'm already doing better than the girl I replaced. I think she only worked when she felt like it so certain things weren't getting done. I've been skipping lunches and staying late because I'm trying to learn my new job and train the replacement for the position I just left. I love the girl we hired. I got to interview her and I liked her right away and she's exactly how she represented herself in the interview. She's smart, funny, motivated, and just a wee bit of a sarcastic bitch. She will fit in nicely.
TaoAndCoffee paid me a visit a few weeks ago. It was nice yet weird to have him around. We're still talking and seeing where things go but I'm not committing to anything right now. I'm enjoying having my own life too much.
I'm working on a few photo shoots. These are taking priority over SG, so sorry to anyone trying to get in touch with me on here.
I'm working on a super secret project with a photographer in Grand Rapids MI that has been a sick amount of fun. My face hurt from laughing after the last shoot. I can't release too many details about it until shooting and editing are done but I believe a book and calendar will be printed. I'll post more info then to see if anyone is interested.
Here's a teaser.
It's been more like acting than modeling and has been really fun. My character is supposed to be in love with this guy.
Yeah, that's been a real challenge. HA! He's actually really cool, and old enough to be my dad.... He and I are trying to put together a shoot with Inkblot98 to show off how hard we've both worked to stay in shape. We're shooting that one in about a month.
I'm not dating the local guy anymore and he's not happy about it. The sparks just weren't there and it can't be forced. Being single has been nice though because I'm not accountable to anyone and can do whatever I want whenever I want.
So my week days are taken up with my job, my evenings are dedicated to staying in shape, and my weekends are mostly going to shooting to have some fun and make a little extra money. Life is really good right now. Still complicated, but good.
