Hey everybody out there in SG land, hope all is well with you guys.
Let me start by saying that this is the first blog I have written in ages, but DAMN it seems like a lot of the bugs are fixed and this blog was written easily right down to tagging the girls in the photos like I used to! I hope this is the first of many blogs. I really miss being active on SG as much as I used to be.
What has everyone been up to? I have been a busy little bee prepping and planning for the next year of SG Blackheart Burlesque tours for 2015. This year we will be heading back to Canada in April and doing another huge US tour again this fall with lots of other one night shows and mini-trips overseas in between. It will be an exciting year for our entire team for sure. We've got over 20 dancers on the crew and the entire SGHQ office helping behind the scenes. I'm so happy and proud to be a part of this part of SuicideGirls. AND our team is still growing, SO if you're a dancer or a girl who would be good on the production end, check into the SuicideGirls Groups and the Blackheart Burlesque group for postings. We are constantly holding auditions and posting threads looking for assistant merch girls and tour assistants.
Here are just a small few of the highlights from the 2014 Fall US Tour
@sunny @mahneeguh @liryc @peneloppe @shay @bricksie
If you haven't seen the show, make sure to check us out, if you HAVE, don't worry, we are working on lots of new surprises and numbers to make this years show even more badass and fun than in the past~
Huddling and conspiring about new numbers ;)
@cadorna @liryc @uni @peneloppe @sunny
Hopefully you will see us out and about in a city near you soon. :) We have lots of local restaurants and tattoo shops that are going to host us on the day of our show next year. You can check out our instagram at @sgblackheartburlesque to see where we are each day! And connect with us on the road or apply to be one of sponsors and have us visit your shop ;)
this year we got our ink in Columbus by @durb and Rich Cook, and Kevin Stress and Rusty -the guys at Red Tree Tattoo Gallery
We try to make sure to get tattooed at least once on the tour to commemorate the journey.
Here are a few other random shots I took while we were on the road.

Can't really explain how amazing it has been to be involved with this tour.

Thanks so much to @missy and @sean for trusting me with this crazy job and these amazing girls. I could not be more grateful for the experience.

me @sunny and @peneloppe being completely inappropriate in Washington DC :)
oh yeah, there were people on both sides of us, I just cropped them out. We heard boobs were legal in DC. Free the nipple. (going to send them this shot actually), love that cause.
All the fun and not going to lie, all the fun has me away from my family a lot. And that's the part that makes it tough.
but having a man who is supportive of me chasing dreams, passionate about what he does, loyal to me and takes care of our dog while I'm away makes me a pretty lucky girl. And I have never been happier.
And when I am home from tour we have lots of travels and adventures and travels planned together that will make all the time away worth it.
And if that's not enough..... Mixed in with all that awesomeness, I will also be attending the High Times Magazines Cannabis Cup Festivals around the US and working on lots and lots of cannabis related projects. ;) Most importantly: 420 pinups. :) :) :)
Last year in Denver I celebrated my 40th birthday right along with High Times Magazine, coincidence? I think not.
Legalize it. <3
Cannabis Cup SF 2014
Dever 2014
If you're a stoner SG or hopeful and want to come out and support legalization and represent SG and 420 Pinups.
Currently I am looking for SuicideGirls to attend:
Los Angeles Feb 7-8 (in San Bernadino)
Denver, Colorado April 18-19
San Francisco June
Portland July
I'll be booking 420Pinups shoots at all of the Cannabis Cups as well (and of course lots of SG hopeful shoots along the way).
Here's one of my beautiful Santa Cruz muse @rowdi
We've been friends since she was a hopeful and we've hung out in 5 different states before finally finding ourselves living 15 minutes apart, I love living in the same town as this babe. Counting down the days until I get back to Santa Cruz and shoot her again! :)
Speaking of Santa Cruz. We are having a SuicideGirls get together on Saturday January 24th!! Details coming soon. You can follow me on instagram @sunniesunshine if you want party updates! :D
Here's some shots from the last get together we had.
Excited to get all of the ladies together again and do some more shoots. We've got about 25 hopefuls in the area now. <3
I won't get them all off the top of my head...but there's :
just to name a few ;)
You can see all of the sets I shot of these babes here --> My Photography <3
It means the world to me that you guys support my work. I love what I do and love shooting sets for SG :D
Finally, I have 2 new sets of SuicideGirls in member review since my last blog!
@annasthesia and I did a Hot Donna collaboration when I was in St. Petersburg a the head shop she manages, Asylum St. Pete
and @vayda and I woke up at sunrise the day after Hell City Columbus, OH to shoot this in Goodale Park
I could go on and on since it's been so long but I'll wrap it up here and vow to blog more often, it truly was super easy today, and my blog even saved when I accidentally restarted my computer in the middle of it. The new site has really come along <3 I won;t make a resolution or anything, but I'm hoping to be back around more in 2015 :D
Have a great weekend.
Wild and Free
