I suck at blogs. If you want to know what is going on in my world, just ask.
devika:
I tried calling you before I left vancouver but you were out of the country or something.
I suck at updating this. I think it is because the last thing I want to do when I get home from work is go online and talk about what has been going on. The joys of being really busy I guess. So instead I will ask a question. What do you think needs to change in the world of body modification? The reason for...

How bout making laws and suitable charges for the idiots that practice unprofessionally, unlicensed, and/or untrained (the people that tattoo are called scratchers; what is the term for piercers?) out of their homes. The disease, infection and horror stories that come of such clowns not only gives the industry a bad rap, but the health board seem to want to lay the blame on the shops that do things right for such mishaps!
So the show on Thursday night went great. Flesh hook suspensions in a bar are always stressful, but it went off without a hitch. Also met Devika at the show (hott!) and a good time was had by all! As soon as I get the pics, I will have them here!

I will be doing a suspension show at the Arch, a couple bands will play, have a halloween vibe for the night, good times all round. If anyone from here...

Ok, with the help of Dusana I am a little less computer retarded, but technology hates me. I have a new tattoo and I would love to have it showing here, but it didn't work, but it is in my pics folder, so check it out!

Hey Mr.
I am trying to get back over to Van in 2 weeks, we need to get together. I was there a week ago, but didn't have the time for a lot of extra activities. I am going to see Rod M @ in2it, as well. I have way to much to talk to you about...lol Any progression on the new space? Mine's been pushed back till the end of October, and when I went to regester the name someone in Courtney already scooped it
SooooOOOOO I was frustrated to say the least.

Really not much new in my world, except my new tattoo. I am trying to put a pic of it up, but I am computer retarded, so if someone can tell me how, that would be great!
miesha:

try uploading it here to sg... that makes it so much easier.

Ok, so life has been pretty hectic lately, but here is the short version. Fakir Musafar came to visit and do a flesh hook ritual in Vancouver. It was great hanging out with the man who trained me and has become a great friend to me as well. Then I went down to California to do a flesh hook ritual with Fakir again. Many hooks...

Ok, so I really suck at updating a jounal. Even as a kid I sucked at it. I have come to the realization that I will never be good at it. I am ok with that. It is all about knowing your limits.
I am in the midst of training new body piercers for an expansion of my business. I am looking at opening two...

The suspension event went extremely well! My next event will be Jan 11 at Lick for all you that live in Vancouver. That is if it doesn't get cancelled again!!! I will...

There is a possibility Northwind has passed away, I'm not sure but I think he might've been HIV+. Sorry about my reminisces and questions, but I havent spoken to anyone who is in with or in touch with the BLW crowd for years and its SOOOO nice so meet someone else!! Its bringing back tons of great memories, so please bear with me..
Is Ganymede still around? Adric? (Hmm who else can I remember?), Ava, Joi (or is it Blyss) Wolfwomyn? Theres so many more.. I know that some of the people I knew have died, there were quite a few HIV+ SF leathermen there the 2 times I attended. It was at the Kenton Mines gatherings in the Sierra Nevadas.
If you do make it down this year (I have a daughter and a very different life these days, so its not an option for me).. some people may remember me-I got named 'Venus Tigris' by a dear man named Ba Chi...
Ok I'll stop harassing you with questions.. Do you come out to T.O. often? Oops- yet another question..sorry!

I was just asked to perform a full body hook suspension for a fashion show in Vancouver for a designer named Nancy Black. It should be cool, there is going to be burlesque dancers, DJ, and rock star fashions. December 16th!!
