I got to perform at TIKI OASIS 08 in sunny San Diego, CA a few days ago. It was super awesome. One of the most fun and amazing bits of it was the ukulele fantasy camp. Nothing says rocking like a ukulele! ha ha ha

Boy have I been busy...
as my headline says
i just started a new jazz, lounge band called Tana the Tattooed Lady & the Royal Flush Orchestra
we are playing a ton and having so much fun!
on saturday i did 2 super quick promo photo shoots, but i am still hoping to shoot another sg set as soon as possible!
oh and if you do myspace please add me myspace.com/tanathetattooedlady
THANKS!

Well i didnt get to shoot with Amina.. infinite number if sad faces...
i'm having a REALLY hard time finding an SG approved photog to shoot with.
But Vegas was super incredible. Zoli is one of the most amazing and sexy women I've ever met and i had tons of fun chasing her around in her bikini at the convention this year.
Modeling was hard work, but really fun.
Weds Zoli took me out to the double down to see some of my friends from THEE SWANK BASTARDS. Zandora is the sex-tastic hoola hooper who looks just like a RUSS MEYER girl.
Later Zoli & I cruzed to WASTED SPACE to join the PENTHOUSE PLAYMATE EXOTIC DANCER of the year VIP area. that was interesting to say the least...
I couldn't resist texting my friends back in portland to say "guess what! i'm partying in vegas with penthouse porn stars right now!" We had a blast.
Then it was off to some dive-y ass casino near my hotel for 2am karaoke. This place was so fucking weird. I swear to god it was a vortex of the world's greatest karaoke singers i'd ever heard. Every single person who sang could have had an album out.
Bu tthe best thing was this couple who were up dancing, excuse me, GRINDING to the karaoke. I've never seen THAT before. The gal had on sweat pants that were hanging so far off her body, you could see her ass cheeks and it wasnt too long before she was in the both across for me giving the guy a handjob. I thought ok, whatever it's vegas...
until SHE STARTED SUCKING HIM OFF RIGHT IN FRONT OF GOD AND EVERYONE! When she climbed on top of him i was like, oh hell no we are so fucking out of here!

I also got to meet & hang with BIG BLACK and BAM BAM from tv's ROB & BIG... DO WORK ,SON! I fanned out harder than if Paris Hilton had asked to borrow a tampon in the john. Hopefully i'll be bringing Big Black to Portland for a party this fall! How cool would that be?

Anyhoo after i left Vegas i got a message that my buddies from THEE SWANK BASTARDS had been hit by a drunk driver the night we were all partying together. They are hurt pretty badly. The car is totalled. Zandora the sexy hoola hooper is outta commission for a while.. so sneak in a prayer or a healing thought for them if you have a moment please!

OMG! Tiki Oasis was such a blast! the trip had lots of snaffoos and lame situations, but the convention was amazing, the weather was a tropical dream. I can't wait to go next year!
Now I'm off to Vegas to model at MAGIC again this year. Can't wait to see Maverick & Zoli again and hopefully shoot my new set with the world famous SG, Amina Munster!
catch up with you soon!

Summer Bummer!
Man, do you ever just have one of those months where you can't seem to shake the small shit that gets you down? Lately I have been dealing with/ learning from a lot of dissapointment, rejection and pain. It's been a really hard process. I totally know things COULDN'T BE BETTER & that I am exactly where I need to be right now, but man it can be such a bummer to be stuck in that place.
I have been doing some neat shows & parties this summer. Here are some recent (imagine that!) pics from a car show i did last weekend.
I have a show tonight and nearly every sunday @ Dantes. If you are in town, come out and say hi!
I promise to be in a better mood soon. If I see you, I'd love a hug. I'm totally loving hugs these days!

Hi ya'll,
I finally feel ready to work on a new set and I was curious what the members would like to see me do next?
I'd love to hear your suggestions.
Have a beautiful and blessed day.

I haven't been blogging much since I moved. No personal computer to use in Portland yet! Whaa
So I figured it's the perfect time for an update.
Above is the new HELL CAMINOs album cover I modeled for in Honolulu. My PETA ad...
and something else cool happened recently- I got selected to do a national ad for Caress Body Wash. I'll look for a link! It's my silhouette , samba and salsa dancing and being silly!
Promise I'll be back soon!
