Hey SG fam,
After getting back from my 4/20 trip to Denver and hanging out with all of the SGs at the High Times Cannabis Cup and then a 2 week stop in LA on the way back home to Santa Cruz to work on booking the SG tour, I have now actually stayed in one place for almost 2 months straight! For the first time in 2 years I have stayed in one place that long.... It was awesome and much needed and I had so much fun.
Getting to just spend time in Santa Cruz, my favorite place and finally take a minute to breathe and catch up and start to feel at home. To just appreciate the place I am working so hard to stay has been amazing.
I took a hiatus from shooting to catch up on all past prep and I have finally found some time to just hang out with friends and chill. :) Here's some highlights.
Santa Cruz SG Meetup <3
Dinner at The Crow's Nest and a sunset smoke sesh on the beach with @christinairma @mundy @sarissle and some hopefully futures hopefuls <3 These girls are just some of my favorite ladies in general. We become better friends every time we meet up and we all met through my lil' SGSanta Cruz meetups. It's pretty rad.
@sarissle and Mystic Mermaid
Sonia Tiger (a member of our Santa Cruz opening burlesque act) and Mundy
Tested out the New 2nd place dab pen from High Times Dr. Dabber bubbler pen. It's pretty rad.
Living in such a rad spot means lots of visits from friends. This month's visitors:
@sawa came out to do some video editing while I was prepping sets and we explored a bit as well :)
SG introduced us in like 2006, it's crazy that I've been friends with her for almost 10 years <3
@boomie also came to stay and play (we are thinking we've been friends since 09 ish maybe).
We did some shooting (not for SG this time, but we've got a brand new set that we shot together due out in a few weeks! )
She also added to my leg piece by @boomie with my new Wild and Free feet <3
@wyllow came to visit and we did some exploring
'
Another meet up with the local ladies to catch an art show for @owsley_ You may recognize a few of her subjects ;)
@sarissle and Hurricane Jessie
This past weekend was the High Times Magazine Nor Cal Cannabis Cup at Cow Palace in San Francisco. I drove up for the day and hung out with more of my favorite bay area babes
Munster and I blazing at 4:20
babe squad. Ruby Munster, me, @astro @cooky and Tomitutu
Moonlit Movies on the beach. First week's movie, hometown fave, filmed in SC -The Lost Boys.
Hush Concert at West Cliff Beach
This is what my commute looks like when I decide to leave the farm and drive to town to work for the day. sometimes there is traffic. It's not so bad ;)
Aside from all of the relaxing....I've been prepping my photos from the last round of travels. I've got 19 brand new sets currently in the member review queue. I'm so excited to have had some time to work on my photography as I continue to strive to keep up with talented team of staff photographers that SG has assembled here. It's a pretty proud group to be a part of and I am so grateful to be shooting for SG and empowering ladies everywhere.
