Ha-dick-en! All my boners.


 TWO DAYS TWENTY-ONE HOURS LEFT UNTILL I CAN GO ON FB AGAIN WOO!

    Welp, I *WAS* going to do a video for you guys on all the updates as of late but I just got wailed in the face with one hell of a bug. Im pretty sure i caught it while at work doing the open casting call. SO MANY PEOPLE *facepalm* anyhow, ONWARD! Onward with cold medicine induced rambles!


Iv been working a lot on costuming for all sorts of things from shoots to events.
Sort of last min ( for me anyway, im rather fond of planning ahead) I got invited to Wicked Fair and their VIP event, The Goblin Market. Certainly cant go a victorian stylized alternative changeling-esque atmosphere in your skivvies! So iv been trying to put together three outfits for that event. The only preview I can show atm is a very wintery earth tone gown that makes me think of Mrs Lovitt's gown in the market scene of the movie lol Tattered browns, fur trim, feathers etc Im looking forward to bringing along a light with me so i hope people are also putting together some epic things to wear come Feb!






My DarkStalkers Morrigan Cosplay is pretttty much DONE!
I just need someone to stencil on some bats to my ass and
the back of my legs. Other than that its all ready to go!
I think if im feeling better before someone can lend me
an artistic hand ill do the preview shoot of her and just
Pshop the back view. Though im still wondering where
I should shoot her?









On other notable things of epicness - the UPS guy left about 8 boxes of various dimensions on my doorstep this morning. I opened the door and practically got uppercutted by my own rock hard boner seeing them haha Thankfully my mail carriers think im nuts to begin with but the look he gave me as i started loading almost all of them on my shoulders like the hulk would have been telling. ( Believe it or not, carrying around 5-6 fully beaded ballgowns in your arms all day is pretty fucking heavy. But it pays off when trying to creep out your mail man it seems lol)

Psst here are some off the cam raw test shots iv been
doing tonight to distract myself from being sick.
 I cant wait to play with the bottom center set up!

Amongst the mighty bounty were my first ever strobes! I got 2 Alien bees - a AB400 & 800. A 48" softbox that doubles as a puptent, barndoors, gels of every color, honeycome grid set, a portable power pack, some vintage lingerie, a mink hat, silver Mylar paper, vintage German officers WW coat(complete with old blood stains in it) and a new tripod.



Im still expecting some untold tools of great and wordly domination. Gowns are under construction already but one has to wait to get started untill the tailor Kaito Milk gets back from Katsu Con! Boo! Though on the more fetish end, im a bit conflicted. Latex Sailor Mars or Latex Military Uniform? What do you guys want to see more?



On the note of Kickstarter, I just sent all the print orders in to my shop!
And I splurged a bit on everyone's prints and upgraded them all to Metalic paper.
 *throws confetti!* 


Okay. Im gonna go dream of the one (Rob Zombie's "Living Dead Girl" just came on Pandora as i was writing this. So make it 2 things that can make me feel better atm LOL) thing that makes me feel better when im sick, Monster energy drinks! *gnaws on her last can*

Soft Kitty...Warm kitty....not so little ?



Hey everyone! I figure id give a casual update since im still estranged from my fb audience *grabby hands* T_T In 8 days ill be BACK! I want to turn to my boss and be like " i need the week off" "oh wow why?" "...I havent been on FB for an entire month*Stares blankly*" haha


Monday is going to be pretty long since we are hosting an open casting call to anyone wanting to model for us and walk in our charity fashion show. There are so many charities Id want to help with - like the In-Sync Exotics Wildlife rescue. But we went with the Scholarship America fund this time which helps kids pay for college. Which i wish i had help from when i went to school haha




The In-Sync Exotics rescue center is based in Texas and is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue of neglected, abused and unwanted exotic felines. As a fairly recently established organization (2000) they house and care for so many breath taking creatures. Reading some of the stories of how they were found made me want to throw up and punch humanity though T_T



"When the door opened we were hit with an unmistakable smell of rotten meat. On the left was a freezer of old rotten meat that had been covered in maggots then refroze. Just past the freezer was the first “stall” on the left. There were two cougars inside with piles of feces, old rotten food covered with bugs and maggots and absolutely no water. What we saw next was the most horrifying of all. Kane was laying in a corner weaving and shaking back and forth and was obviously very sick."



"His condition was so bad upon his arrival that we were not even 100% sure he was a lynx. He suffered severe ringworm, which left him almost entirely hairless. He was also anemic and significantly underweight at only 10.5 pounds."




But reading about how they have rejuvenated these poor guys is wonderful. Course, since it is a non profit organization and taking care of these endangered creatures costs tremendous amounts of money they are always looking for donations and volunteers.


There are many ways you can help, including, but not limited to:

  • Washing Bowls and Buckets
  • Cleaning enclosures
  • Preparing animal diets
  • Helping with special events
  • Fund raising
  • Building new enclosures





In addition to volunteers helping with the day-to-day chores, they also need skilled volunteers to help with special projects:



Skilled Volunteers:

  • Welders
  • Plumbers
  • Electricians
  • Landscapers
  • Carpenters


Marketing Support Volunteers:


  • Press Contacts
  • Finding contributions
  • Setting up corporate/business sponsors
  • Designing fundraising materials
  • Producing/printing fundraising materials
  • Obtaining donations for stocking gift shop

Manifested.


So 2012 is waning away and with it's passing it is giving rise to new greater better more amazing things than I could have imagined. Im sure 2013 is going to have it's fill of hardship but as Im sitting here looking at my first ever completed kickstarter im just blown away.




I claim this moment as one to be a sentimental cancerian! I kind of started tearing up in the video I just made...my voice cracking like an insecure teenager lol But I sort of feel that way. That build of nervous energy swirling around in the pit of my stomach with a tight ball of excitement building up. On one hand I certainly am feeling the pressure of people's expectations. So many people have come out of the woodwork of the...the world i guess *blinks at some of the international backers* in supporting my work for this new year. I want to make sure its worth their interest & funding.

On the other hand? I feel a sort of relief in seeing so many people regard my work in a way that is worth notice. Sort of validated I guess? Thats not to say I dont fancy myself skilled at what I do. If i didnt feel at least that for my work I wouldnt push it like I have for so many years. But there is always a nagging doubt that my work is lacking something since it isnt you know.. knocking down the doors of Vogue as it were.

I took a lot of risks at the end of this year. I quit 2 large corrupt companies to join 2 smaller just budding businesses that have the risk of failing and leaving me high and dry. But I dont regret it. I love my change to Geek Goddess.

Ironically the first year I felt like Iv made a lot of changes and headway is this year and it was the first time at my 1 mandatory family function a yr that no one asked how I was doing LoL *facepalm*

All that aside, I just want to crank up my music as loud as the speakers go, sing along to what ever plays and work out all this energy iv got built up.

Or  Channel my inner Zangief  in bear hugging all of my friends I can reach.

        

On a lighter note, I got another garment in from Milanoo to review!
This time it wasnt a lolita garment but a sexy piece of rubber! Ill spare you the text.
Why read when you can watch a video review of the product?lol
