This blog picks up where I left off in 2016! 2016 was a life changing crazy year for me. I had my insane relapse that led to my Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis. I won't go in to a whole bunch of details, but I will say that this disrupted everything in my life, SG included. I had horrible anxiety to go along with that and so after my set I shot with Sawa at the end of my last post, I wasn't sure if I could or would continue shooting sets for SG. Shit was bad y'all. That's the very summarized version....
To start with a cool memory in 2017 picking back up though, I had talked to @lyxzen online for years and she was always such a sweetheart and also a very talented cat photographer. She was travelling and we were in touch and she came to my house and met me and my sweet kitties and took their pictures! It was a super special day and I am so thankful we got to do that!!
The next big happening in SG world for me was in 2018 when I started to feel like I was coming back to life. I went to my first big shootfest in New Orleans to see and shoot with @sawa for my " comeback set" which is very important to me named " Warrior" because of being an MS warrior and battling all I had for the last couple of years. It felt so good to be behind the camera again. I had gained weight at this point and was like fuck it, I am doing this and so I did. I also got to meet and shoot with @aerie and have since retired that set. This shootfest was also amazing and special because I got to meet so many people I have made connections and bonds with here!! I got to meet @zen @cygnet AND @filicity here!! I got to meet @scarletash @chalk @little @cassidee @libris @eminence and so many more babes!! I got to see @sairyn @fresa and @wednesdaya again! I almost got to meet and shoot with @penny but damnit at the time didn't have the extra cash. This shoofest brought me back in and let me see that I could do it all again and continue my journey and that I still wanted to be pink and continue towards my goals.
In 2018 I also got to make it to another Blackheart Burlesque show in New Orleans!! Happy to see my babes @sairyn @star @jennings @fresa @wednesdaya @sunshine and more friends!!
Next in 2019 was the last Blackheart Burlesque show that there has been locally for us to go to thanks to the Covid crazy world! the 2020 show was cancelled when it came back around sadly. I can't wait for the day where it comes back and Covid settles the fuck down.
I was so excited to meet @skella after adoring her online for years!! It was a dream to meet and see all these babes!! @cleodora @saria @mollymars @eirenne @torro @sunshine @jennings @sairyn @star @clair
The next big awesome thing in SG world for me was a shootfest that @sairyn and I put together and it was so much fun!
I got to meet and shoot my Violet Core set with @marysa which was incredible and an awesome experience! Also got to shoot my first multi with @star which was so awesome and I will always adore her and this memory with Marysa! Also got to meet and shoot with @leemalee for the first time and we had a lot of fun too!!
Got to see my babe @filicity again here and we really got to know eachother and shot my set Cat Call ( underrated in my opinion or maybe people don't love cats as much as I do on SG?! lol ) and our amazing hopeful multi Get Silly!! That was the best time omg and I know you can tell in the set how much fun we had!
We had a lot of selfies and good times @scarletash @wednesdaya @ghostleeb @linzz @harpy @astridlillia @manic @ramen @bristole @arson @xoxo_belvedere
Alright, I will end this blog here.. it has gotten way long again! I will do one more to bring us up to where we are now haha xoxo Starphire
