Here's a treat for those of you who like pictures... I was cleaning my work room a bit today to get ready to start selling shit for the big move and I came across this CD. It was full of old modeling pictures from like 4 years ago! I haven't seen some of these pictures since then and it was cool to look through it. I thought it would be kinda fun to post some of them here so you could all see what I looked like 4 years ago when I was doing some pinup modeling (mostly for fun). I really haven't modeled at all since then until I joined this site so it's fun to see where I was when I left off.

Oh and also, I just noticed all my favourite girls have dark hair. Isn't that weird?

Anyway, on with the pics:

Vintage Taye


Me posing with the super sexy fetish model Devra


The above two and the three below were taken by Devra's husband (he's a photographer but I can't remember his name). I'm wearing a corset I made a long time ago.




Surfer girl!


I think this one's funny for some reason


These were taken by this really creepy fetish photographer named Jeff Novick:





These two I call my "tough chick" series...



Look, I'm so punk!


And my vintage beach look:



And finally a pic Mr_Reliable took of me a really long time ago:


Wasn't that fun? Don't you love memory lane sometimes. I gotta do something with these pictures... they're not doing any good hiding behind my bookcase.

'till next time.

I know I probably update too much but I can't help it! I have too much to say. <--- verbal diarhhea

I just got this envelope in the mail filled with Dave Naz photos! I was so excited to pose for him a little bit at the Dwarves video shoot. I've admired his photography for quite some time. Here's a sample of the images he took (there's more in my pic folders under "modeling"):

I miss my girls, Helena, Wendy and Vanessa among others! I wish we all lived in the same city. Imagine the havoc we could wreak on civilization on a constant basis. Doesn't that sound like fun?

I started a new job this week. Blechhh... getting up early sucks. It's a pretty cool place though, the people seem nice. It's very corporate and everyone's wearing Banana Republic and they have a no jeans policy (which is half my wardrobe) so it's gonna take some getting used to. They haven't even seen my tattoos yet so they're in for a shock! It's a good thing I'm good at what I do so they will have no reason to want me to leave. Plus the money is great so I guess that makes up for everything. I wonder if there's any members of this site working there?

That's all I can think of for now. I'm gonna try to leave this journal up for a while so it seems like I have lots of comments! Love you, miss you, bye!

♥ Taye

I have some more pictures for you guys.... first here's me with my very swollen lip (yeah it looks sexy but it fucking hurts!)



and the new piercing that resulted:



Here's some pictures of me tattooing Helena... it was only my second tattoo (the first is on Mr_Reliable). He supervised and helped me set up the machine, etc. She's so great for letting me do this! I love Helena!






and the finished product:


I'm going to be at the tattoo convention next weekend entering my back into the competition. If you're there say hi (unless you're a creepy stalker, then don't please)

Another edit:
My photographer just joined SG so go and tell him how fucking awesome he is! Say hi to glennsweet

I SG right now. Too much hottness going around!! I don't know what to do with myself.

I just got my lip pierced like 10 minutes ago. I don't know why. I went to visit the hubby at the shop and the piercer said "you'd look good with a labret piercing" and then she did it. Ouch! What a baby I am. It looks really cute though. It's got a little diamond in it I'm bad with piercings though, I always take them out after a while when I get bored. I hope this one doesn't leave too much of a scar.

I just got back from visiting my mom in Ft. Bragg. It's her birthday today so I cooked her breakfast. Aren't I a good daugher? She's a dental hygienist so I had my teeth cleaned yesterday too. It's a pamper Taye's mouth kinda week I guess! (i'm such a dork)

I just got my tickets in the mail for the Hell City Tattoo Fest in Columbus, Ohio. I'm so excited to hang out with a bunch of sexy ladies again, especially sharing a room with Helena and Wendy again. We'll have to get more pictures with me in them this time! For some reason none of the pictures from LA included me in them. Weird!

(Edit: I'm adding this picture because I found it in Luz's journal and it's got me in it and it's super cute! That's Helena, Lyxzen, Anarchie, Wendy and me)



OK, so now that my set is up I'm anxiously awaiting my next one that Missy and also the one that Sawa shot. How impatient am I?

Oh, and thank you all who said I'm not "old". I don't really think I am it was kinda a joke but it is a little strange to think that some of these girls were born when I started high school. I really don't feel old though, I feel about as old as I look so I'm glad I don't look like I'm 40!

If you haven't already, go tell Lanolin how hot she is!! I was waiting for that set.


ps - do these emoticons annoy you? I love them but I'm sure I over use them.

Just a quick update to thank everyone for the amazing response to my set!! I'm glad you all like it. I had a lot of fun shooting it and Glenn is such a great guy to work with. I highly recommend him if any of you girls are thinking of applying or need another set shot in the Bay Area.

Also a lot of people have asked about my tattoos. My backpiece was done by Ms. Mikki at Mom's on Haight Street in San Francisco. She's just awesome, I think one of the best in the Bay Area and that's saying a lot considering the level of talent here. And she's really sweet!

And for those of you that said I look like Charlize Theron, thank you!! I fucking love her and think I'm going to kidnap her and have my way with her one day. How would that be for a photoset?

There were a bunch of pics that I loved that didn't make it into the set and I'll put them in my pic folders one of these days but in the mean time here's a couple outtakes:




Oh, and I updated my age to show my real age (I guess I wasn't fooling anybody with being 74 huh?) but I wanted to wait until after my set went up so it was a bit of a surprise. Yup, I'm old!!

I promised more photos of our LA extravaganza so here you go... they are really bad quality because I have the worst digital camera ever (don't ever buy a camera in Hong Kong, you'll get ripped off!)

And in other news... I have strep throat and I'm miserable and in pain. Isn't it funny how life has its up and downs?

Wow, it was sooo much fun to hang out with all you lovely SG's that were there. You girls were all so cool! I didn't come across one ego or drama queen the whole time and that's quite an accomplishment considering the number of girls I met. SG girls kick ass!! I want to say that I am now officially in love with Wendy, Helena, Anarchie, Vanessa (mmm, Vanessa), Blyss, Selket and Jaime and it was so great to meet all the other girls I that I'm sorry I can't remember names at the moment. I'm tired and on Nyquil.

I got to shoot a set with the very sweet Missy that was also filmed for a documentary show on G4 television called "Icons". I don't know when it will air but they did a whole interview with me as well. I fucking hate being interviewed because I always sound so stupid but it was cool to be a part of that. The shoot with Missy was fun and went really quick! I can't wait to see those photos.

After that shoot I went to The Dwarves video shoot and had a blast! Those guys are crazy! I showed up in the afternoon and the other girls had been there all morning getting to know each other. My introduction to everyone was to immediately take my clothes off and jump into a bed scene where we all made out. Lucky me! The next scene wasn't so lovey, we all got to beat the hell out of poor Blag but he loved every minute of it. Can't wait to see the final results, it looked like it was going to be a really hot video. Here's a preview pic from the great photographer Dave Naz's website. He shot pictures of all us girls in between takes.


I'm so sorry I didn't get to shoot a double set with Minx but I did get to watch her shoot her solo set with Sawa after I shot mine. She is so freaken' adorable and Sawa is so awesome. I can't wait to see her again up in SF.

I'll update again soon with pictures. I think I got sick on this trip so I need to go to bed. Also, I hate LA. Especially the drivers there. When is my set going up dammit?

This is what I'm going to have tattooed on my chest:



What do you think? Hot, huh? Check out the Artist here.
