Well, the club drama continues with Dee. Now the club has been shut down by the fire marshal due to not being up to code. They say they'll open in no time, but seeing how much shit they have to do to it in order to re-open, it might as well mean Dee's been laid off. So now we're back to the same unemployed shitty ass situation we can't seem to shake off. Needless to say she's looking for any gig she can get her hands on, as well as me.
On happier news, our dear friend Carlye came down from Tampa and we, along with Rickstar had a beach day, well, more of a "nude" beach day.
Afterward they invited us to hang with the at Coconut Grove.
Then very surrealy... We met Manny from Wildboyz!!!!
This guy was cool as fuck!!! And so chill.
Well, we're back to reality, and now to figure out how we're gonna make money.
Nothing much new to report, other than the fact that I'm BROKE!!!!
I finally did finish my Hybrid Genesis story, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The colorist I have is freaking awesome! And though he doesn't cel shade the pages like I do, his style turns them into freaking paintings!!! I love it. Here's a preview of the production process as it stands...
Pencils...
Colors...
Pretty cool huh...
If you wanna know how to get these comics, plus all the other stuff including the first HG story and Mercy, just go to http://razorbladeapple.com/ and order up some.
Now all I have to do is finish up the Mercs book I was commissioned to do and I'll be free to submit to Marvel, DC or any other mainstream giant to see if I can finally make a living off of this.
Dee's got the week off thanks to the Winter Music Conference and her club's dumbass idea to NOT have the Burlesque shows this week so that they can change format and have the club be just a regular disco with DJ's, 'cause that's not gonna confuse the audience so soon after opening the club. I swear there fucking morons!!! Oh well... we're already looking at other avenues to explore, and I guess we'll ride this one while it lasts.
Been actually working my skinny white ass off lately. Consequently I'm getting this nice little sense of accomplishment. at least the kind you get after feeling productive, if not financially.
The drama has begun with Dee's club. Having laid off a few key players, managerial in-fighting, cut hours and days, and the realization that the expectations for the club haven't been met financially (well fucking DUH!!!! Especially in this economy) have Dee very nervous for her potentially short lived stint in the performance world. she really, REALLY doesn't want to go back to stripping so she's gonna give being a shot-promo girl a shot. Of course, I've told her countless times that all you gotta do is get the set done and we can BOTH cash in
For now she'll just have to adopt the mentality of let things come as they may and ride this out while it lasts.
Who knows, it just might.
Well, to those who still care, here's Dee's Strip Tango performance of Roxane (Pretty bad ass)
Now I gotta go back and finish the page I'm working on for the New Hybrid Genesis story. Gotta keep the productivity going.
So the opening of "The Strip" finally happened! After delays, delays, delays, more delays and even more delays, the club finally opened last Thursday. It went ok I suppose, there were allot of technical issues, organization was all over the place, and the place itself looks kinda weird, but all in all it was a fun experience.
Dee went from not having to perform last weekend, to having to do a 2 minute performance art piece, to having to be in the show itself, go figure!
I personally went the first 2 nights, but after the second one, I was tired for Saturday and had to do some work, plus our broke asses can't afford much in terms of hanging out. Though the third one was the night she had the most to do, so go figure again! Her piece was very well received, even though it's quite random and out there, but hey, who am I to judge
Well, I'm feeling much better now from my ear infection thankfully, so it's back to real life...
Here's a vid of some of Dee's performance with "The Strip" burlesque troop over at the Ritz.
She's the tiny little thing on the left corner
The real thing is supposed to happen this week, though Dee got the weekend off since she can't do a split just yet. Which I think is utter bullshit considering she's pretty much the most responsible of the bunch! But oh well, whatever! Just sucks she'll miss the opening of the club.
On other news, we decided to give SG another shot and we're gonna do a set FINALLY!!!!
We have a few concepts and ideas, so we'll keep you posted on future developments. The best part for you guys is that she'll finally have her profile up and you can go and pester her on how hot she is! Just don't forget about li'l 'ol me.
Oh, and here... Just so ya'll don't thing it's only Dee who gets to be sexy...
So I've been out of commission for about the last 2 weeks thanks to an inner ear infection.
I've been prone to these ever since I got smacked on the ear while rough housing on the pool as a kid and ruptured my ear drum. To this day I'm psychologically scarred by the pain. The doctors weren't kidding when they said the pain rivals childbirth. Now I may never have a baby, but if what the Dr. said was true, you have my sympathy ladies. Thankfully I've only had to endure this kind of shit about 3 times in my life, but this time it's really kicking my ass! Thankfully my mom came through by sending me some antibiotics and ear drops, and having my beautiful wife be there and take care of me makes this more tolerable as well.
At least the swelling in the right side of my face has gone down, I can hear from my ear again and the pain is significantly less than before, though that's like saying the stabbing is now a flesh wound rather than a full stab.
Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon and I'll be able to go on with my life.
Well, been pretty busy, thankfully I've been getting consistent gigs (not to be confused with consistent pay mind you), so I've been pretty happy about that.
Dee's been pretty busy as well. A couple of weeks back she had this gig over at Extit 66 in Ft. Lauderdale as a go go dancer/shot girl. Here's the captured fun...
Then of course, once home...
Other than that, last weekend her Burlesque show debuted at the Ritz Carlton in South Beach. Since the club hasn't opened yet, I guess they had to scramble and get a gig somewhere else.
Ain't she the cutest fucking thing ever?!!??!
Then it got weird... LOL
And we're back
Thanks to Rickstar for hanging with us and keeping me from getting bored while Dee worked.
So that's what I've been up to. What have YOU been up to?!?!?
Alright, so I'm back after being courteously given this phantom membership. So what have I been up to?
Well, first thing's first...
SOMEBODY GOT MARRIED!!!!
Yeah, go figure... Last thing I was ranting about was how Dee dumped me to be gay, and look at us now!!! Fortunately she found out just how freaking nuts a lesbian relationship really is (her words!) and came running back! LOL!!! That happened on march 09 I think, and we got married on Spt. 12.
Of course being married didn't take the bisexual out of her, so we've been hitting the swinger circuit. Unfortunately for everyone else, we don't do couples.
But the parties are fun!
Yes, fun indeed.
How's married life? Couldn't be better. If anything, it's the best thing about us right now.
I'm still freelancing, and looking for a full time gig in the mean time, and Dee scored a part in a burlesque troop for a club opening on Lincoln Rd. It's supposed to be a big deal, especially 'cause the choreographer is Glen Packard from "Brooke Knows Best", you know... the gay friend? Well unbeknown to us, he's a freaking big deal, having worked with the likes of Michael Jackson, Usher, Pussycat Dolls, you name it, he's probably told them how to dance, so to say she's exited would be an understatement.
So now it's all rehearsals and getting ready for the big opening, supposedly Superbowl Weekend, but we're not holding our breaths. In the mean time, I'm still looking for models around here in Miami, and to tell you the truth, it's been impossible!
What do you do when you wake up one morning and you realize the love of your life doesn't love you anymore?
What do you do when when you're not given an option, a chance to fight, a ray of hope?
What do you do when the person you've given everything to suddenly abandons you?
What do you do when you have the ring that symbolizes a love so intense you want it to last for all your life returned to you?
What do you do when you leave your country, your friends, your family, your home to start your new life together in a new country only to be abandoned?
What do you do when you have no friends, no job, no circle of support, no family in this strange new land and all you're left with is your broken heart?
What do you do when you begin to realize how the love of your life had premeditated all of her actions and made this decision for months while you thought everything was perfect?
What do you do when the person that broke your heart lives with you, and will have to live with you until you can get back on your feet economically?
What do you do when you have to witness her just getting up and moving on as of the second day of being destroyed?
What do you do when after all this, you realize you still love her?
