How do I sum up the months of life that I've experienced and all of the great times I've had since my last blog in a quick update while my dinner is cooking? I can't, and I can't even try right now. The thought of waiting for all of the photos to upload to share my experiences makes it overwhelming.
So instead, I'll just sum it up with the overall feeling I have at this time rather than sharing each individual experience that I've had over the past few months and then I'll fill in the details later. ;)
SG continues to help me build the exact life I want.... I love working for @missy and @sean on the tour and being apart of SG Blackheart Burlesque and I love working for myself and having the freedom to travel. The blog HW that @rambo @lyxzen and @missy gave us was to set goals for this time next year. To be honest if I can keep focusing on the things I am doing that I love, I don't care what else happens. Working for SG, shooting sets and creating independent art with girls that I connect with and writing articles about things I care about is everything I have always wanted.
SG BLACKHEART BURLESQUE TOUR: I am currently one of a few tour managers and one of multiple girls planning the details of our upcoming tours and it has been such a rad experience. If you haven't seen the show yet, you should come out and see us. If you have seen the show, then you are probably already planning on coming back (if I had to guess) ;) But you can definitely expect new things and new combinations of the SG starlets every time you see the show. You won't be disappointed.
We are also super happy with all of the local meet ups and community get togethers forming around the shows. It's so cool to go out and have an SG night in every city and bring together like minded people for our shows. We are all so appreciative of the support we've gotten from everyone for the show. ......from our fellow models (SGs and hopefuls) to members of SG to fans of burlesque to the venues who host our shows....to the people who have no idea how they even got there... Everyone who comes out to the show is a part of helping SG visit over 75 cities worldwide in more than 4 countries in 2015 alone (and we are adding new ones every day).
Follow us on instagram @sgblackheartburlesque and buy your tickets for the show in your city at www.blackheartburlesque.com
If you have always wanted to join the crew, we are holding an audition before our next tour. Girls that make the squad will stay in LA immediately after to begin rehearsals. Can you imagine? Well if you can, you should go for it. Every one of the girls you see on tour was once sitting at home wondering if they could make it or better yet imagining that they COULD.
June 29. Plenty of time to plan a trip to LA in order to change your life. xo
The other part of my world is shooting sets and photos for SuicideGirls, writing freelance articles and running my own businesses 420 Pinups and Powder Puff Pinups. I have been traveling non stop and working on these personal projects with girls who I connect with, girls who inspire me and who are so beautiful inside and out. If I tried to post them all right now then I just wouldn't post a blog because it would take too long and this has already gotten long enough and my dinner is now cooked and siting cold next to me.... so I will pick just one example of each....

My newest set in member review of my beautiful friend @mah
She hasn't had a set in 8 years (after her first 3 sets in 2005, 2006 and 2007) and she is one of the sweetest Brazilian babes living in Florida who always joins SG for a day of Disney whenever we visit and always has a kind word for someone who is down.
It would mean the world if you Check out:
JOURNALISM: The WHOLE reason I left teaching in 2008 was to write. I had another article published this month. And it was my first article in High Times in their June 2015 issue. I not only co-wrote the article but the photos were mine as well. You might recognize SG @rowdi
It was a dream come true for me to be published in High Times and only the beginning of hopefully many more articles to come. I've been working on a few. <3
and last but definitely not least!! 420 PINUPS and POWDER PUFF PINUPS: I also do private boudoir, pinup and marijuana legalization pinup photos through 420pinups and www.powderpuffpinups.com I get to work with ladies who may not be ready to shoot for SG or may not be able to due to a job and help them bring out their inner pinup. We also rep clothing brands.
I finally shot one of my favorite muses for the first time -SG @mewes We are business partners for 420 pinups and we created some rad shots for some of the brands we are repping. If you are a cannabis activist or smoker, we would love to shoot you and network with you. <3 Get in touch with us. We now have photographers regularly in LA, San Francisco, Austin, Phoenix, Santa Cruz, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Grand Rapids, Columbus and Tampa :)

Ok, well that covers about 1% of what I've been up to. I'm cutting this super short blog (that took over an hour to write ) off here. Thanks for catching up with me. As always I aspire to write more and to write sooner next time. I'll try.
