So it started off with my Sister's call to the bar!!! AKA she is now a LAWYER!!!!!!!
I was so bloody proud of her. What really took me for a shocker was her lack of love for her family. She thanked her piece of shit boyfriend who is tearing the family apart. I've been there her WHOLE life. When she was living in England for Law School I FB and skyped her all the time. I picked her up from the airport and every holiday she came home we made sure it was perfect.
In her acceptance speech she never breathed a word about me. I cant even express how much that hurt me. I remember back when she was in University here studying Anthropology and Philosophy. I would help her study and let me tell you how much I could not stand Philosophy. I still did it because I loved her and wanted her to succeed. I even joked with her that I kill Jeopardy because of learning with her.
So she thanked her Boyfriend for being her sole support. Then the only thing she said about my mother was "Thank you for pushing me to go to the UK, I now have life experience".
When I got hitched a couple years ago I wrote a speech and told stories of my family, the love and the support they have given us. We were truly blessed. My Father is a successful Lawyer and we got everything under the sun when we wanted it.
I have been to Disney over 30 times. I have seen the world, drove beautiful cars and appreciate everything my parents do for me. But watching my Mom's crushing face on Friday killed me. I actually had to step out into the hallway after to breath because I was about to breakdown and cry.
My folks took 25 of us to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I had so much fun with my family and friends. My childhood friend who is like my Sister said Jess why the truck are you not drinking this is a celebration!!!! Her reply was "I am only having one drink or I will tell people what I really think of them". While glaring at me.
I came out a while back about nude modeling. My parent's know I've been photographing other models for years and they fully support my art. My sister however does not.
I can't express how much pain I feel. I went from having a best friend the past 29 years to a person full of hate and the only time she is happy is when she watches me fall.
My parents are very proud of me. My Mother is always sharing my band photos with relatives and telling them about my twisted tales and recently my fundraising for cancer with Chive.
I know they don't always understand some of my art but they fact they support me to the moon and back is what drives my passion. LOL my Mom one day was like your art is wonderful, beautiful but very morbid... why does everyone always die? She is so funny because every time she visits she blames David Bowie for my weirdness and Tim Burton for my passion for darkness. I have the original movie posters of the Labyrinth and Edward Scissorhands in my movie room, both these films influenced me as a child and still to this day fav films of mine.
Above is some behind the scenes of DIRTY JEEP GIRLS. I am proud of myself I went out and got gritty for this one. I live in Alberta where its a Rednecks dream and I HATE camping, I HATE bugs, I HATE being dirty but we had to shoot this one for everyone in our Province.
This was my first time doing 4x4 lol in this video you see me drop the camera because it was bumpy. Nina's face was priceless going down the big hill. One of the Jeeps were hers and shes a part of this Jeep club and yet she freaks out going down huge hills like that. It did not bother me one bit! and I will admit it was a blast!
I was hired a few weeks ago to shoot the Chivettes of Alberta for the Chive. They made this adorable behind the scenes video with photos they took along with some of my pictures I photographed of the girls. That was a SUPER hot day and I had a blast! I am in two lil snips in this video which was nice!
Lilcheshi and myself worked together a few weeks ago while I was up in Edmonton. I can't wait to show you the set we photographed. She is truly beautiful inside and out! Make sure you head to her page and add this fox as friend!
Well its back to the grind! I gotta get prepped for my of shoots, 8 sets in 6 days then Saturday I get to unwind for my bday bash!
