I hope the first few days of fall have been treating you all wonderfully!
We've been lucky enough to have a bonus summer! It was almost 100º for a week! I definitely made the most of it! I spent a ton of time in the ocean with 72º water <3 Heaven!
So if you follow my instagram you'd probably notice that climbing is really bec0ming a major part of my life. I just got a job working at my local gym as a route setter, it's a ton of fun, I'm learning a ton, but it's definitly leaving me exhausted! Which is tiring, but also kind of.. fun! For now at least.. hah
I have been included in a really neat little climbing competition series with 3 other of my fellow setters. Every Tuesday we join up at another gym in the area and we compete against a handful of other teams from the area!
It's been a blast! I might be a little sad when it's over.
Aside from my new job, I'm also now sponsored by a really amazing climbing company called SoiLL. They are wonderful, and the owner has been just the neatest dude to work with!
(here are a few So iLL photos to break up the text ^_^)
(and this image was a bit too crotchy for Instagram, but not for you!!!)

This last weekend in fact I took time off work and went up to the mountains, pulled out the tent and the crash pads, climbed a few rocks, but then mostly got rained out. haha But the time we did get to spend was lovely, and in good company.
In very different news, I had my hair spruced up! I've got a very specific end goal in mind, but it's going to be a long process. In fact, I had a few hair dressers tell me I wouldn't be able to lighten my hair without major hair loss, one going so far (and rude enough) to say that if I wanted what I want I can just shave my head and start over to get it, and you know what? They weren't very good or patient hair dressers as it turns out.. because I found this rad chick, Christina McMillan, working at a salon in San Diego called Hair Drezzers on Fire! I'm a punk kid at heart, so I have never really needed to seek out a hair dresser before, BUT for once I wanted to do my hair and not lose 4 inches of hair in the process. Holy crap did this chick kill it!!! So, obviously, if you're in San Diego, now you know where to go.^_^
My hair lifted that light out of black in the first appointment and didn't lose the tiniest bit of length! I'm so thrilled!
I love what we ended up with, and I can't wait until we get to the end! I don't think I'm going to tell you guys what I'm aiming for just now!
My amazing Amazon Tree Boa just had babies a couple weeks ago, and they are wonderful. 12 of the most gorgeous little red babies.
Ghost has been serving as a lovely friend, as always.
I've been having a blast silver smithing new jewelry. The first is a ring I made for my neighbor out of a piece of stone that I cut down and polished from one of their first camping trip up to big sir. It's was their 10 year anniversary and her man asked me to make something special, I LOVE projects like that. I love taking a stone or a tooth, or a shell, or anything with the structural integrity and turning it into something beautiful that the person will be able to wear and keep with them forever!!
The second piece is along the same vein, it's a shell that was collected in my friends home land and fashioned up for her birthday. Honestly, that piece was hard to gift, I fell in love with it and probably need to make another now!
So for any of you with strange rocks or things you want made into jewelry! I'm your gal! haha Feel free to send me a pm if you have an iquiry about it though! I absolutely adore that work.
As for things I've shot recently, I've been doing too many things to keep up! BUT I did shoot some fun stuff of a friend and fellow porn personality Mia Li, for a craaazy food blog called Dude Foods
This was an amazing photo I uncovered of @Vivid and myself at comicon... We either should or should never be allowed to spend time with each other depending on your point of view. ahahahh!
And lastly, the SG relaunch has been up on showtime for a little bit now, it's been so fun seeing peoples reaction to accidentally stumbling across my big naked but rolling around in that little door way. That was such a fun and exciting shoot, the people involved, @sawa and mike marshall just to barely graze the iceburg and name a couple. But if you haven't caught it yet, here is a teaser of my strip section!
That's all for now, time to hop in shower and scrub the camping off!
