My birthday is this week!! April 4th woot woot! It is my last year in my 30s and I couldn't be more excited about this bday. I just LOVE my birthday! The feeling of having one more year of experience and memories to call mine. Another new beginning to set new goals and experience new things. Absolutely nothing about aging bothers me. Things just make more and more sense and become more and more clear and I care less and less about bullshit or worry aboutt drama.. So yes! 39....Bring on what's next.
But honestly, it's not JUST my 'actual' birthday I am celebrating this month, BUT it is also my 7 year Suicide Girl birthday as well!
I am celebrating SEVEN years on this awesome website and being part of the coolest (and ONLY), worldwide, sisterhood of badass, traveling, tattooed, independent women, and I couldn't be happier to be here and be a part of the revolution. I have made the best friends, met the most interesting people, and traveled the world taking the incredible opportunities that have come to me through this site. I don't even know how I could recap everything I have done since 2006 in a nutshull.....so I won't, just a quick flashback to 7 years ago and then on the present! I've got so much to tell you all and show you all
It has been almost 3 months again since my last blog!
So a quick flashback to the beginning....
*spoilers*
My birthday weekend also marks one year since I started shooting sets for SG.
I shot my first official set on my birthday last year at the SF shootfest of the adorable
Cruella,
me shooting Cruella
Cruella- The Captain
I have learned SO much and had so much fun shooting in my first year here, but I still have so much to learn..and so much to improve.....I can't wait for what my second year shooting for SG will bring!
In keeping up my goal to travel for 99% of my shoots, I attended the SG LV shootfest in February. It was one of the best experiences...

I joined SG in 2005. and in early 06', I applied to SG

My very first profile picture
This site has changed me and I have grown so much here, I look at these photos and though I was in my 30s when I started on SG, I look like a kid to myself now, 7 years later. It's crazy how much you change and grow and evolve and become in a decade.

MY NEWEST PHOTOGRAPHY
POWDER PUFF PINUPS:
Bringing out the pinup in every girl! And the coolest thing to happen to me in a while 
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
The Columbus Dispatch did an article on the popularity of pinup and boudoir photography in Columbus, Ohio. It was pretty cool, they interviewed me and shot some photos of me during one of my shoots (thanks to a brave client), and when they published the story, they actually put it on the cover. It was a pretty exciting moment.
the Columbus Dispatch building - printing the news for 141 years.
Unfortunately (for the article, not for Austin girls
)....Alissa was in Austin when they called to interview me for the article.....and when I elaborated about the Suicide Girls aspect of our business and the travel and the professional (non boudoir) and tried to plug SG...... they choose to cut it out of the article and summed it up with the statement. "Sunshine started the business in 2008 with a friend". haha Which kind of sucked being as Alissa and I both shoot for PPP, and started it together and we both live in Cbus, but it was the only downfall of the article. And other than that, it was pretty amazing to be on the cover of the paper for a business that I started.
Want to see more of our pinups?!!
Follow Powder Puff Pinups on facebook
As Suicide Girls takes over the world and more and more ladies want to be pinups, the pinup photography business that Alissa and I started 4 years ago has grown a bit too ...so we decided it was time to add to our team of ladies who travel the world "bringing out the pinup in every girl", and we have added Sawa, Waikiki and Gossip. But don't worry, all of these girls will still be shooting their normal SG sets as staff photographers for SG,
they will just now offer additional private, for your eyes only, pinup and/or boudoir shoots through Powder Puff Pinups, as well. <3
So, if you've always wanted to have a shoot done, let me know!
I have shoots open all over the US and Europe.
I have just a few openings left in LA on April 6 and 7. Or we have another LA date on May 11 and 12th.
email me at powderpuffpinups@gmail.com to ask questions or book a shoot.
And last but definitely not least...
