Sigh.

Let's try some words for a change. Lyxzen Learnin' Hour?

Possibly interesting facts:
--Danger is legally my middle name, but you probably already knew that.
--I've kept up with my New Year's Resolution from a couple years back to eat at least 12 new foods a year. Cherimoya, ong choy, &durian are three I've tried in recent months!
--I'm afraid of moths.
--My last three Google searches were "abril fatface font download", "humphead parrotfish", & "Katy Perry's boobs."
--I wear socks 95% of the time that I'm not in the shower. I just like them!
--I've haven't eaten meat in 14 years. (Don't go thinking I'm gonna preach to you about vegetarianism or veganism, though -- I'll only answer questions you might have!)
--My cats are named Godzilla &Mouth.
--If my boyfriend weren't even more awesome, I'd be completely convinced that Eric from Entourage was my soulmate.
--I can tell you most ingredients in a dish, just by tasting it.
--Sloths are my favorite animal, but fennecs, cats, &chickadees are close runners up.
--I had a new set go into Member Review just the other day!

Did you see this business yet?

Just for good measure, here's a photo of me swimming with sharks &a nice quote:

It's official: I'm not very good with keeping up on my blog. Let me make it up to you with naked pictures?

I promise I'll get a real update going soon!!

I believe there's a saying...something about late, never, &one being better than the other?? Life hasn't slowed down any over here...I'm just getting better at time management &saying no every once in a while. So let's start getting through this!


Sunshine came to town in January or February &shot a lovely &beautiful lady for
Powder Puff Pinups, and then some photos of me!

But let's jump back a couple months. Here are a few snaps from the Portland Tattoo Expo, waaay back in October:

My favorite Giftsmas prezzy received back in December was a heated mattress pad! Sounds kinda lame to be that excited about a bed accoutrements, but, I mean, how can life be anything but amazing when you're snugged up like a bug in a self-toasting rug, right? I also got new glasses!


Other things that have made me grin real big the last few months:
touching a baby sloth:


Sunnier days &bluer skies!




evidence of Totoros:


Doxie:


Silencia &Jersey, too:


Multiple new cameras &business card-sized memories:

Finding good words everywhere:

Finding ridiculous things on the internet:

More fan art:

DamnYouAutoCorrect's Top 25 Funniest Autocorrects of their first year, and numbers 25 through 50, too!

Making appointments &plans for new tattoos. More diamonds &flowers &such!

Brainstorming for bigger ventures &helping friends brainstorm for theirs!

&last but not least, seeing Doll Harem hit ye olde front page!

Other snaps from LyxzenLand:

Big things ahead for me, &for you, too! (You'll just have to trust me on this one! ) Time to get back to work on things!

What else have I missed, guys??

This is me today:



Yay!!

(Real post coming soon, promise!)

This whole month has been really really rough for me, but this week has been even rougher, &today rougher still.

Make me smile?

Ever think you understood something, only to realize how very wrong you were later on?

Turns out I had NO idea what "busy" really meant...



I've got two jobs now, one in retail and one serving in a restaurant, I'm juggling physical therapy appointments (Remember my accident from last year? I'm finally getting treatment, thanks to my attorney!), AND I've got the Portland Tattoo Expo to plan for, October 7th through the 9th! (Please say you'll come visit me &the other ladies??) Miss Sunshine's coming to town for a bit in October, too, &I'm hoping I'll be able to help her on some PowderPuff Pinups shoots!



The last couple of months have been full of work, work, &more work; a few days in paradise; starting one new job after quitting the one that was sucking the life out of me; a day trip or two with in-town friends; a promotion at job number one; visits from friends from out of town; a brief trek north to sell posters with lil_tuffy; realizing I'm spending money on food &bills faster than I'm making it; starting a second new job; &doctors' visits left &right. See? Whirlwind!

But it's not all chaos! I've managed to cram other good things into my days, including: this song, love from friends, baths (which can never be long enough - I'm in one right now as I type this!), trading photography services for baked goods, love from my dude, making mixes for work (Got any suggestions for upbeat, general-public-appropriate jams?), running into SG members all over the place, trying to squeeze in progress on artsy things, watching birds do crazy shit, &eating cookies for breakfast.



I owe you a LOT of photos. See how many SGs you can spot!

Feeling your love lately, too, even though I've been more absent from the site than I'd like:

A gift from my wishlist! Thanks again, Kirk!
(&speaking of my wishlist, Amazon says I received a Lush giftcard, but I did not! If you meant to have an gift card emailed or snail-mailed to me, let me know -- I feel terrible not being able to thank whomever made the purchase!!)


Awesome fan art by sooaap! Do you know which set that booty shot is from? &check out even more amazing Lyxzen fan art from other members HERE. You guys seriously never cease to amaze me with your talent!!

Also, a quick shout out to Sidonia, who wrote me a very simple message that just may have been the sweetest, most heartfelt one I've ever received on SG. You are a darling little wonder, &your words &love mean the world to me!

[Edited to add: There's a new set or two from me in the works, but if you're still itching to see me [mostly] naked, Silencia's new set "Doll Harem" went into Member Review a couple days ago! Thing snuck right up on me! Anyways, me &Doxie act as props in this super-sexy, artsy endeavor! Let us know what you think, pleaseplease!]

&while on the subject of feeling loved, I'll leave you with this:

my facebook | my print &art store | my twitter

I'm not dead, I swear!! Just ask Silencia or Glitch!


Or Doxie or Persephone!


Or lil_tuffy:

Life these days = a huge whirlwind of hard work, good conversation, far too little sleep, &more love &amazingness than I know what to do with.

Sooooo many more photos to post &words to write! (Remember that one time I went to Hawaii, for example?!) Laterlaterlater, I promise!

I love you all!

Wellwellwell, folks...Seems you folks liked Mallrats a pretty good lot, eh? Front page &all! (Check it out HERE, if you haven't already! Or heck, if you have &just want to again!!) Thank you so much for all of your amazing &hilarious words...You guys never cease to blow me away with your sweetness &clever words! I mean, where else would photos of a naked lady get tagged "Steak Escape"? (Thanks, Alissa!)



I'm still doing my best to get back to all your messages &comments. I'm not very good at keeping up on those...Blame it on my job keeping me stuck in front of a computer all day, &thus wanting to spend as much of my off-time away from screens &monitors as possible! But I'm working on it, I am! I love you guys &all your quips, anecdotes, questions, &general sweetness...&where would I be without things like this:

Wanna know something awesome? We shot this set in something like 15 minutes, to avoid getting caught by mall &department store security! (Pretty sure we sat in the food court braiding my hair &discussing the set longer than we actually spent shooting...Ha!)

Braiding hairs, by Alissa, I think:


Touching boobs, by Frolic:


I really really love behind the scenes photos. Everything from outtakes to photos of a set's preparations to snaps of other girls lurking during the shoot...I love them!

I already can't wait for you guys to see my next few sets...DarrylDarko &I made some serious magic back in April, &then Cherry came to town right after that &got me naked TWO times...I'm losing my mind trying not to post teaser photos!!

Normally my blogs are so positive, &that's a very conscious thing on my part, but anxiety has been taking its toll on me these days. Work is beyond stressful, but I have a couple of opportunities on the horizon, which may pay less, but will keep me from losing my sanity. (Wish me luck on my interviews!!) This Hawaii trip that I've been so amped on the last few months can NOT come soon enough!!



Things that make it all so much easier: rubbing noses with my dude; good, quality hugs from good, quality friends; cuteoverload.com &animalsrunningintoshit.tumblr.com; eating endless amounts of strawberries, nectarines, &grapes; Impossible Project film; chickens; trips to the river, the beach, &the river again; chick-o-sticks; exchanging smiles with strangers as we pass each other; driving in the sunshine; sweating; disco balls; watching my dude turn a lifeless dancefloor into an actual party; good food; Charley's tumblr, Got a Bad Desire; colors; finding beauty everywhere; grass &trees &flowers; Curb Your Enthusiasm marathons; love.

I'm out of words. Here's some more photos of how I've been spending my days:

Oh, lookee here! Rad stuff!!

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

&finally, Exhibit C:

I have been a busy bee these last few weeks...Summertime means all sorts of awesome stuff: the sun against my skin, hearing birds singing &playing, riding my scooter around town in just a hoodie &jeans, the smell of blackberries on the breeze, making smoothies &eating giant bowls of fruit while sitting on the porch, sleeping with my windows open, barbecues on my patio (&who knew grilled fruit could be so awesome?!)

Also looking forward to: spending more afternoons with Silencia on the balcony of our favorite tea shop &looking down ladies shirts; weekend trips to the beach, the river, or anywhere else; way more barbecues on my patio; Sunday afternoons at the farmers market...

OH, &going to Hawaii in less than a month! (Have you been to Maui? Share your favorite Maui spots with me!) This means I'm kiiind of broke for awhile, so if you've thought about buying a print or a piece of art from me, now would be a great time to help me out! (Here's a link to my little shop!)
