Greetings Earthlings! I HAVE A LOT TO SAY.
This year has been utterly amazing to me. I picked up and packed my bags for a summer in Northern Western Michigan, Traverse City. It was so beautiful, the experience was beautiful and I was always surrounded by mass amounts of trees and water. If you've never been to Michigan, or Northern Michigan, you need to go! It's really refreshing to be surrounded by fresh water and smooth sandy beaches and there's actually no other place in the world like it. My favorite thing to do was watching the sunset on the beach every night, it never looked the same twice. I worked at a Tattoo Parlor for a day or two as a front desk girl, and took care of myself. I worked on my Etsy store most of the time. You, too, should check out my store! ( while we're on the subject) Maud Suicide's Etsy! It's still under construction but I'm quite proud of it! I'm forever grateful for the revenue.
I got home sick once in a while, and it was hard to get Maudy.
Inside the house I was staying in had terrible lighting- didn't help out much that my phone was also busted way up to do anything social media wise, which hurt me terribly! I kept trying to get Maudy but getting interrupted by whoever whenever always. This is when I realized it was time to go back home. The summer went by extremely fast, not even knowing where the time went. I explored, learned, and discovered a lot about myself that I wouldn't of ever known if I didn't go up there. It was very much needed, but now I am even more excited and encouraged to do more and to get Maudy as much as possible.
I was dying to get onto SuicideGirls to write update blogs, but every internet I had access to had our website blocked (ARE THEY CRAZY!?!?!?!) So I was unable to do what I wanted to do. So here I am right now and BOY DO I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. There are a ton of unseen sets I need to catch up on and I can't wait to give all of these girls the love they very much deserve. Can I get an Amen? That being said, as much as the summer did go by extremely fast, at the same time it went by excruciatingly slow because of how much I wanted to be involved but couldn't because of simple reasons like internet or lack of privacy.
But now I'm back and Maudier than ever.
As the summer came to an end, it was time for me to pack up my bags and get going back down state where I live. It was a long haul, and a little sad, but I am so happy to be home and back at it again.
It's refreshing, calming, and down right amazing to be back in the city. I got a new place, my first house as an adult, and I'm learning how to love myself and others unconditionally. The respect I have for my friends and family went up by the thousands. My inspiration, drive, and motivation are exponential. I have cravings to read and to learn, to learn more photography tips and to stay on top of emails and orders.
It is a little hard right now because I currently do not have a job and I am looking, but there's no doubt in my mind I won't find something that I love very soon! Finding a full time job is a full time job. I just wish I could do this SuicideGirl thing all the time every day for the rest of my life. I wouldn't ever get sick of it!
This is my favorite room in the house, it's the mud room. However, I obviously took it over and made it into the Maud room.
As for future SG shoots and exciting news, there are a ton. I am planning a shoot with my beloved Writeboy, our fifth set. I am also in contact with Smashbase at the moment finding a place in Airbnb to photograph at in Detroit. There's this one in particular that strikes my fancy. I just got a new phone, so now everything is back on track and the Maud train is going!
My sister is a Merch Manager for all and every band you can ever think of. She reached out to me earlier this weekend suggesting Maud Merch- We are starting off with T-shirts and we are making mock-ups at this moment. If there's any image you think that would look awesome on a tshirt, please comment below! All suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Can't wait to keep up with blogging and capturing the most possible.
Thank you for believing in me! I believe in you!
Love, Maud
