August 26, 2010 It is soo on!! ?... Life in the fast lane... there is way too much to do and in the mist of all of this I have to tell you some exciting new things! Minx Nails.. I have them now on my toes and they are simply amazing! I love them and I know you will too as soon as you try them. They are gorgeous! Please email Angela and tell her that I sent you! Referrals, I have been giving them out a lot lately so hopefully one this may get them a bit busy but, I have to say I want to reap the rewards :) I have also been placing talent in a few places so please see my booking page on the referral fee :) Other referrals :) ~ So check out these new ones :) on Etsy! Check out Pink Quartz Minerals, Sobe Botanicals, Shiro Cosmetics, Providence and Grace, PoshWashSoap :) as these gals are simply amazing at what they do. I know I want about everything that they offer so if you see something you think I would like.. Send IT ON :) Another thing is the flood from the year ago which damaged my house and has made me a bit weary about water.. rebuilt and better but, not foolproof. So there are some new images that I have on snapfish. You can email me for the information and I can get them to you :) New images! Well I have some from Alex and I need to get them up there :) so again bear with me as I am getting things back to somewhat of normal :) Shooting less and marketing more but.. will be hopefully back in the groove soon :) email me for more information :). Delish... I just got my Kitson bag and love it, I have found that I love Juicy, Betsey Johnson, and Kitson the most.. seems as the trends are always changing and have to stay in style :) or at least try to :)
August 23, 2010 It is soo on!! ?... Such a storm this past weekend and I freaked out.. as since I have been flooded I am pretty anxious when I hear buckets of rain.. or a lot of lightning! To crazy for me! I have to say that I love my friends who have been there for me.. need my sanity! August 19, 2010 It is soo on!! ?... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Got your Minx on?? I have found the most amazing trend to put on your toes it is called Minx. Angela did mine and they are amazing.. so click on the nail images below and email her about the rates and locations in the Atlanta area :). If you are not in the area google Minx nails... you won't be disappointed :) Autographs and Gallery images :) I have found the magazine and if you want to get a copy and then get it signed let me know or I have a couple of images that I can sign for you. I was very lucky to work with the very talented Warren Tang who took some amazing images but, I have to say that the best ones still have been done by Neal Rue, Phil Weber, Greg Ninke, Your Perfect Pose, Ed Graves, and a couple of others hands down, as those end up being my faves! Referrals, I am doing a lot of placement of people lately so if it is available please don't forget about me in the outcome of your assignment :) I would greatly appreciate a referral fee. Thanks in advance and I don't think I am asking too much :) Fall :) well the time is coming to make the major changes. I have new nails, Minx on my toes, and I am about to get hair extensions :) this will be a great way to end the year for sure! New images will be up as soon as I can get them up.. my internet has been less than friendly so bear with me .. :) And to those who I have conversed with about shoots and then the others I have happily said NO to :) thanks but no thanks. gotta work with people I can click with and not have the drama. I seem to have enough of that in other areas. August 17, 2010 It is soo on!! ?... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Lots of things are going on. I have a tend to figure out when and where I need to be at the last moment! That can be good and bad all at the same moment! I have to wonder if my car is pointed in the right direction! So I am back sort of on track with my schedule so events, parties, shoots.. email me with the deets and we can go from there :) Psyched I am sure! Referrals, I am finding that I am placing a few of my models friends in jobs or assignments which are paying. Please see my booking page as I am asking politely for a referral fee on these as I am doing some if not all of the legwork in getting these booked :) Please let me know if you have any questions, thanks!! I find that I am a little more cynical in the new year, maybe it is because I almost lost everything last year but, more so that I am finding out who my true friends are and who are just there for the ride. I had many companies, friends, and coworkers who were heartfelt into helping out. Others well they were always less of human to be honest. So I had to decide on who I did want in my life and who I had to delete. just life. There is too much going on to worry about the little antics. And to those who I have conversed with about shoots and then the others I have happily said NO to :) thanks but no thanks. gotta work with people I can click with and not have the drama. I seem to have enough of that in other areas. Diamonds and daggers. I get amused by the antics that some people use to get and hold attention.. I figured a ball gown and high heels does that but, what do I know.. I had this one girl who just doe snot get that she needs to get her own friends as she attaches at the hips to everyone I know.. I feel sorry for her but, she needs to branch out on her own for sure. :) I am hoping she can find some way to do that.. :) August 11, 2010 It is soo on!! ?... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Age. Acting your age and being your age are two totally different things that I have found out. Who can act their age and who just wants to believe that they are way younger than they ever were. Whether you are reenacting the scenes from Sex in the City on that episode where thirty year olds are competing with twenty year olds. Sometimes I just don't see the point. Autographs. Special images to be made as well per requests.. you can email me for the deets on these :). I have some images that have been printed on promotional cards as well as my Gallery layout.. if you are looking to get an image signed or bought, please let me know .. I have a few that have not even been on the net ever! So email me for more information! You won't be disappointed! promise! I had been asked about a few of the images awhile ago and have just no gotten a few sets printed! I am slated to work with quite a few on my somewhat limited schedule coming up but, we will make the most of it and make some amazing images :). I am psyched about all of it as I know there will be some memories as well. And to those who I have conversed with about shoots and then the others I have happily said NO to :) thanks but no thanks. gotta work with people I can click with and not have the drama. I seem to have enough of that in other areas. And deleting... lurkers... long story .. and moochers... sorry just don't have the time.. August 3,, 2010 It is soo on!! ?... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. There is something that has to be said for hitting the ground running. There are various observations.. you tend to make.. Like do you keep up with your friends or do they try to keep up with you? In my case.. there is a lot to say about my friends and my Crew.. they know who they are and the memories that have been and will be made. Thanks bunches for that as the ever changing world revolves. More later on this chapter! Autographs. I have some images that have been printed on promotional cards as well as my Gallery layout.. if you are looking to get an image signed or bought, please let me know .. I have a few that have not even been on the net ever! So email me for more information! You won't be disappointed! promise! I had been asked about a few of the images awhile ago and have just no gotten a few sets printed! Schedule.. Trying to work again with Matt Helton, Alex Yu, Robert Wall, as well a some others, this month has been slammed already with social events and it is only the 3rd! I have almost every night this week with something on the calendar! What fun! And deleting... lurkers... long story .. and moochers... sorry just don't have the time.. Diamonds and daggers. I get sick of the HS antics that seem to plague the air these days. we have all grown up way too much for these.. and honestly I don't have time.. move over drama as this is not a stopping point.. !! July 27, 2010 Jealous much :)?? XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Thunder and lightning! Crazy here last night and I can tell you when the power went out,. I could hear my heart race.. as I thought this was a catastrophe all over again! Needless to say the rain stopped and I was glad about that. I am usually the one that worries over tornadoes and the like. Now with what happened last year.. anytime that they say that there might be flooding my ears happen to perk up! Some things I guess might be too fresh in the mind? I was reading everyone's posts about it on Twitter, face book, and MySpace so I know that I am not the only one! I have a new CD of images from Alex that I have to get up here as those were a lot of fun to do. I have to get a couple up for sure! If you have not worked with him, he is just funny to be around... and of course one of my fave Atlanta photogs! I know that he had some issues with some no shows but... he is one you would not want to not get to work with! Promise! Health.. Getting there.. with a little more stress on my plate it has been an interesting journey to say the least. I am really watching what I eat and drink.. and trying not to go off the deep end! Esp with my favorites which I know are not good for me!. Delish gossip.. can you wonder if some of the stories are true to be honest! Diamonds and daggers, there have been something said for the truth will set you free and lies will make you sink. There are some who need to learn this lesson. Friends? Let me tell you what makes one and what will sink one.. there are times just to let them be and walk away.. who needs the drama paperweight.. when it literally weighs a thousand pounds. July 20, 2010 Jealous much :)??... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. You know when you wake up and your heart is racing on what the day is going to bring? I on the other hand find it some time to get things done and trying to catch up on all of the things that I have missed. I also have had the best hair day in months! That is the accomplishment of the day.. okay maybe not the best one but, one it itself to be noted. I updated my Twitter.. working on my MySpace.. and basically getting things rolling once again.. no more excuses.. as sometimes the couch and the bed call my name.. time to get some more accomplished! Speaking of getting things accomplished.. I have realized that I love excellent communication and customer service when it is available. I had a server at a restaurant that I recently went to with a friend and she basically forgot about us.. we had to wait for menus, drinks, and the like.. I was wondering if we were invisible. On the opposite of the spectrum we have Lex with Sobe Botanicals, Caitlin from Shiro Cosmetics, and Christine with Posh Wash Soap who have been the best in getting back with me on products and also my orders. Makes me smile when I get an email from them.. and if you try their lines.. OMG.. you will be hooked for life... Health.. well everyone says on what you should and should not do that is the hardest part of getting better as I have all of those conflicting opinions and no one agrees! So trial and error and trying what I think should be done.. let's just hope that I don't land back in the ER or the doctors office for any reason.. I have had enough of those.. They should have a room with decor just for me at this point! July 15, 2010 Summer Shimmer.... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Midmonth and there has been a lot of things going on. I have teamed up with a few models and photographers for a venture with the Southern Jewelry Box. I am looking forward to working with them in marketing. I am also working with Outback Tanning with Susan and a few new summer events. These also will be a lot of fun.. stay tuned for more information! I have to say that I have found a few more vendors that I love on www.etsy.com if you get a chance to go there, please check out some of my favorites and you will see what they can do for you! The customer service from most of them has been amazing. And others well not so much... if you want the list to stay away from, I can let you know about that! Shiro Cosmetics, Sobe Botanicals, ShellyFrances Makeup, Your Best Necklace, are just some of the few I can name right now that have been professional! Check them out for sure! Health wise I am getting back on track after being diagnosed with being anemic! This has been the longest weeks of my life as I hate being zapped of energy! As I am the one who usually stays up way late to finish up shoots, projects, and emails! I have regressed! So having to get back to a schedule has been a little tough for me. Delish gossip.. can you wonder if some of the stories are true to be honest! Diamonds and daggers, there have been something said for the truth will set you free and lies will make you sink. There are some who need to learn this lesson. July 1, 2010 Summer Shimmer.... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. A new month and a new way to do something's.. I am soo psyched about some of the latest conversations that I have had with some vendors. PoshWashSoap, Shiro, Pink Quartz Minerals, along with a few more have been soo helpful! I can't wait to show off what I get! I would highly recommend them! I am revamping a few things as well as the calendar! So bear with me as I am getting things back on track! Holiday weekend!! What more can I say about that then time off.. I just got back from the beach and now I have some other time off to spend with some friends and family. I have some friends who I don't get to see very often as they seem to live on the other side of the world.. even if it is like 50 min + to go see them. :) Have to make some new memories :). I am going to have to clean and do some laundry of course.. as that never seems to end and hoping to find some very good holiday sales.. I got to replenish some of my wardrobe these past months, but there is always room for a little bit more improvement .. and additions!! I did get a couple of things yesterday and have to see where they can fit into the mix :).. work or play?? Updated Wish List!. I always get asked on what I am looking for .. so I added a few more items which again it is a wish that it might show up at my door :) Party! Another word .. full of fun and this is for the invited only. I know that there is limited space on the list for sure as this will be Limos and champagne.. Might post a few piccies from it when it is all over.. thanks for everyone who is helping with the prep. June 27, 2010 Summer Shimmer.... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Today is someone's birthday and yesterday was an amazing wedding ( and I do mean amazing as who else has professional mascots show up at the reception!?) . Memories to be made and had. Family and friends.. who can ask for something more? And with that recovering.. recovering from the latest doctor and hospital visits and yes things are going to be okay. I just have to take something's a bit easy for now and work on getting back on track to what I guess would be normal. Shopping.. I have found a very cool site called etsy.com where you can buy some amazing things such as house wares to make your apartment the most it can be as well as jewelry, makeup, and about everything else. Make sure you read some of the shops policies as some of them are a little strict but, I have placed some orders and we shall see how that all goes. I will always endorse the ones who have excellent customer service and great communication. You can email me for more information on these. And then there are the ones who I am going to order from in a bit.. such as Victoria Velvet corsets! They are GORGEOUS! Stay tuned for more deets! That brings me to reflection.. on the last few months... the moments that I will never forget along with the people who need to be forgotten. The Stabs to the heart, the stabs in the back, and the moments where you know who needs it? About to be another month and there are many more things to happen in the near future.. so please stay tuned as this could be a little interesting. Diamonds and daggers, there have been something said for the truth will set you free and lies will make you sink. There are some who need to learn this lesson. June 19, 2010 Summer Shimmer.... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. A day ahead and everything on the line, projects! And also getting ready for some trips here in a few. It will be nice to get away and see the sights.. I guess it will be my relaxing for the time being. Should be interesting as I am not planning any work on this next trip that I head out on .. :) I usually like to stay busy or stay as busy as I can. People who know me know that.. just lately I know that you have to take out some time for yourself :). And then there is the need to get away from a couple of nuts.. so to speak.. where you have to dissect the situation and go.. why?? LOL.. The reality TV shows I can sure use this material :) Updated! Shiro Cosmetics has some new colors..shh.. but I want them all :) so asking for some new sample sets and new collections.. these really are some amazing colors :) and some of the best eye shadow I have found in years! I would compare them to the high end Bare Minerals brands. There are a few other stores that I have added a couple of things to.. so check it out :) New opportunities? We shall see what happens with a couple of new ones as the summer networking has started already. I am psyched at some of the connections that I have already made. So there is no telling on what companies I will be working with this fall and winter! June 15, 2010 Sinful .. and memorable?? XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Changes and being lucky. I have some amazing friends to say the least. I have been through about everything in the last year and a half and to have them around.. it is the greatest! Esp the ones who helped after the flood and the ER visits.. recouping is always better when you have some friendly people around you. I have gotten some more new clothes and I am psyched for them! I guess I just might have to shoot in and out of them :) LOL. Thanks again for all of the emails and texts these past few weeks as there are a lot of changes going on! Updated :) I updated my wish list again as to add some new things to it and also take some of the ones that I have gotten in away. I wanted to thank everyone who has been soo gracious in helping me rebuild my home and my wardrobe from last year. I have so enjoyed the dresses, the containers, and I could go on and on about the things that had to be replaced. And so the new chapter begins. Let's just hope that this saga won't be as crazy as the last ones have been! Pale? Yeeks... have not been in the sun for a few and needing that energy for sure so .. back to the sun I better go as no one wants me to be pale! I know just a rare few images I am but, still... not the porcelain look I am going after! The challenge continues. Stay turned as this might be one HOT summer. In a little while.. reflection on the last few weeks and going into a new direction. I am psyched on where it is going. The Swan. :) June 5, 2010 Sinful .. and memorable?? XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Taking it easy after a week that has been crazy. Was back in the ER and laying low right now to get things back on track. I am glad thought that it was not as serious as it might have been. So revamping and everything.. and with that I am going to get back into boot camp and it is kicking my ass! And also getting a few other changes along the way. I am excited to have some very cool photogs to capture I guess somewhat of the transformation. Shall you join in for the ride? New images are up and more to come. I have a few more to get up from Alex and then off to take more images.. I have a few themes that I want to get done along with some very cool props. Cool. Stay tuned. Can I get some more shoots on my calendar? In a little while.. reflection on the last few weeks and going into a new direction. I am psyched on where it is going. The Swan. :)
And the tanning challenge continues.. OH HELL YEAH! ~~ I think that I have very
much in the running but you check out some of the new images and you decide. I
am working with several salons on this so if you want to help me out on this,
LMK :) And check out
www.myspace.com/ June 1, 2010 Sinful .. and memorable?? XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. The holidays. They were pretty quiet but, I have to say there was a lot going on at the same time. One of my favorite stores Swoozies is closing along with the Perfect Present. Montage is also closing and having to find those amazing deals before they close.. i did find some kick ass invites for a party later this year to send out! Seventy percent off? Who can argue with those prices? I also found some cool books that I want to get to replace the ones that I lost. I also found some new titles as well.. who knew that I would like these as much as reading Cosmo? Various new images are up and I have to say that I love them. The shoots were not only fun but, I know with me getting back in front of the camera they are a testament of boot camp in the works before and after.. so this has been a journey so to speak .. and then the road continues :).. care to see what this ride entails? I bet you do! A new month and some new challenges. I have been talking to a few out of state photogs about some shoots and just trying to make the calendars agree on some things... I also want to get a couple of vacays in there in the mean time... I am sure I can wing something.. and btw.. if you have not ordered your makeup or my gift from Shirocosmetics. PLEASE Do! There is not a set that I do not want and they are the perfect size for travel. so order a set for you and a set for me :)!! May 28, 2010 Sinful .. and memorable?? XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. There are times when I just shake my head and wonder WTF? as I am sure that most people do when they hear or get information that astounds them. I just find things out my having them come back to me and it amazes me again when things get back to me that obviously should not. Revenge can be soo sweet. It can also be fun when everyone knows about it but, the person it is going to be done to. Shoulda Woulda coulda :) I have gotten my images from Sheri and Your Perfect Pose.. waiting on the shoot form Alex :) and will be getting those up probably this weekend. Some of them I am surprise turned out as well as they have :). One day I am going to organize them but. for now those are up in various galleries! I had a great time on all of my shoots and with the weather and the calendar cooperating, I hope that I can ge3t some more in. Friday! I am hoping to get some things actually done this weekend.. clearing up and organizing. I know I have to do this all of the time but, I am really wanting to have everything in its place! Label makers and storage boxes are helping me out a lot! I did get to go to a couple of amazing events last week and bought some new items to wear and shoot in.. stay tuned :). May 20, 2010 Made a deal with the Devil?? XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. End of the week and new revelations to say the least. I have found that some people just don't care and then they wonder about the ones who do and why we do? Confrontation is always fun when you are arguing with someone who can't fight. And has no means to or no back bone. You know the ones who can say everything behind your back but, never to your face as they figure they really don't have a leg to stand on. Amazes me. Fight to the finish! I just had two amazing shoots with Alex and Sheri. Lots of fun of course as I have worked with them before. So three shoots in the last few days I will be getting some new images up in. I am psyched. I also have been using my cosmetics from www.shirocosmetics.com . I love the colors and the fact that it is affordable mineral makeup! I want it all!! The season finales might be over for the shows but, this summer is heating up with all of the projects, shoots, parties, and of course gossip around here.. care to be a part or just be an observer. Don't shake your head if you miss the boat as this is going to be a wild ride for sure. You might not want to get too wrapped up in it as it might be a scandal :) And the tanning challenge continues.. OH HELL YEAH! ~~ I think that I have very much in the running but you check out some of the new images and you decide.. I am working more and more to get this one in the bag.. :).. thanks to Luminary,Dark Princess, and Playboy lotions! Check out the salons listed below.. any lotions from them I WANT!. May 15, 2010 Made a deal with the Devil?? XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Organizing.. I guess I ran myself a bit harder than I wanted to as I came home last night did my errands and crashed to sleep! I knew that this week was busy but, then next week is supposed to be as well. I have three shoots this coming week as well as trying to get that next week after that booked ~ ready to go. I am not sure what all I did as it always seems like things are a blur when the month flies by like this. I just am looking to get some more projects done. More images up and making some kick ass memories with some great friends! Projects there are soo many and I am already heading myself into June.. where is the year going? I am looking for some headshots, themes, and some casual to formal images. I have to thank everyone who I have worked with and everyone who is slated for a shoot this year! Please see my booking pages as I have changed up a few things.. esp the TFP/ or TFP for clothes thing :) I am bound to make some interesting themed images ... eso if they go as planned :). Gossip Girl is tame compared to what has been happening around here.. can we say almost a scandal but, not quite.. or at least not yet?? May 14, 2010 Hell in Heels... making the mark of the century.. XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Fate. Everyone says that there is something called Fate. I was reading some forums and some modeling websites and have come across some amazing people. One would the be Sculpture maker TK Miller based in CO. He has some of the most amazing statues and has been listed in several famous magazines. He has been kind enough to answer an email I sent. I also have met Caitlin who owns Shiro Cosmetics.. she posted up her cosmetics and I gave them a try.. LOVE them. They have amazing staying power and look exactly as they are in the package.. you know if sometimes the color on your eye looks nothing like it did in the package. I hate when that happens.. and they sparkle!! Her link is below so check that out.. also again a BIG shout out to Bill.. I am going to get those images soon as well as his company www.thelingerieconnection.net they again have a wish list I am sure to try to cram my closet full of! So buy something for me or for yourself! May 8, 2010 Hell in Heels... making the mark of the century.. XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Another amazing shoot. I had with Your Perfect Pose off of MM. Bill and Kay are amazing. The time flew by, the images are amazing, I can't think of a better way to start off the weekend. And did I even mention that they have a lingerie business? Check out www.thelingerieconnection.net They have some very seductive items and I am starting my wish list NOW. Images will be coming from them soon.. and I can't wait to see them. More calendar work?? Okay lining up some more shooting on the calendar and making sure I have the white out as well. I am looking forward to the images, the memories, and the friendships that I have acquired with these :) Looking for some very wild themes.. and yes they are off the charts.. wait for it LOL :) And thanks for all of those who I know we have shifted dates on as my calendar and every one else's is NUTS! In the dark side. there are fights, cat claws and .. more to come... May 6, 2010 Shoots, tanning, life, and .... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Sigh* some people never get it and then some just don't want to and that is okay in both cases but.. then it just makes you wonder.. with the responses personally that I have gotten lately.. my response would be "are you not getting it? " and "are you kidding me?". It's on. Soo on.. for those who knows the back story and I am not the one who would back down from this challenge.. pleeze... LOL. I have been in contact with a few more photogs who I am lining up some shoots.. just trying again to get everything in one months calendar. Not all over the place. I find that Post it notes are the girls best friend. Esp when they contain numbers of people who it would be nice to chat with :). So May is half over almost ... time to get some ground covered. So bear with me as I get some more wardrobe.. more attitude. and watch out for claws :)~ They are bound to come out? New banners for PsychoBeautys.. if you would like one emailed to you for your own site, email me and I can send you some of the new ones.. We have about ten now..LOL and her stuff. again well the images on the web don't do any of the articles that I have gotten justice... thanks again Suze! May 5, 2010 Shoots, tanning, life, and .... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Tuesday.. always better than a Monday but, yet another day to get things done. I find myself taking on major projects and man, I watch the clock and wonder where the hell the time went.. then reality hits. Granted we did not flood again but, flash flooding in the Atlanta area is getting way too frequent for my taste. I was ready to head to higher ground. Nashville and those other cities, I can only imagine what they went through. When you basically wonder if you will be standing in what you have on and nothing else.. your life perspective changes. You find out who are friends, who has your back, and who does not have a fricking clue as to what you will be going through... and going through it for awhile, whether you rebuild or not.. the loss and wonderment as to what happened semi I guess would say haunts you...esp when all you hear is rain hitting your roof and going down the gutters. Makes a lot of what happens in life very trivial. I did get a lot accomplished today. Working on getting my calendar filled and have some shoots lined up for the near future... Those images I am sure will be good as everything still to me is a work in progress. Finding calendar dates that works is a major work in progress. Why are there only 24 hours in the day? And I only sleep for a minimum of like 4 to five of them it seems? I sound like a friend of mine and I swear she is the dictionary version of the night owl.. she is up at all hours.. maybe she should be a psychic or something to that nature.. only because she seems to read people very well :) Romance.. I know it is only meant for Valentine's day but, it is nice when you find an email or something sent to you from out of the blue.. just makes me smile not for any particular reason but, it is always nice to be thought of. So I throw this out thee.. make someone smile this month. Help someone have a great day and know that it hardly took anything ... and could mean the world. April 27, 2010 Shoots, tanning, life, and .... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. There is always a time when you look around and wonder where the hell the day went. No matter how many times I seem to try to get my calendar in some shape or form of consistent, something has to change! Granted some changes are very good ones like when you have your hair done or have an amazing tan going on. You have to take those opportunities to make them the best that they can be. I am very lucky to have some amazing people to work with and once that I can really count on in a pinch. I am about to work with Bill with Your Perfect Pose.. he has this amazing site .. www.thelingerieconnection.net , There are more than a couple of things that I want him to get for me so I will be giving him my Wish list so that others can get my faves.. check it out as you will be impressed .. and just like Suzy the customer service is amazing.. Thanks guys! Tuesday, watching hockey, doing laundry, and also having to get some things lined up for the next week.. I am still finding things lost and other things that I just can't find since the catastrophe last year! Makes me irritated on things that I have to replace.. like who would have thought about just the simple things like wastebaskets!?? I mean really! My favorite step ladder and so forth.. so even now almost seven months there after, I have more inventory to do! Liar? Okay there was this thing that I heard and it was really lame but, now I have to say that I can't stand to be lied to or just basically told something when I know the actions don't go with the words. People just think that when they say something and do something else that it will really make sense goes into the old saying.. do as I do and not as I say? Just knowing that most of us graduated HS way long ago. isn't it time to hang up the attitude? Unless it is fierce of course! April 25, 2010 Boot camp and reflection?? XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. I have always been and always will be an avid weather watcher. I have been in some pretty severe weather, flood, fire, and tornadoes. They are scariest when they come in and there is no warning. Today I feel for the ones that have lost property and lives in Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee. It is heartbreaking to see and know.. esp when least year I pretty much lost almost everything. I had to start from scratch. With it being an uneasy time I still have to find courage to deal with certain weather situations. Making the most of the weekend.. projects that I have got to get in.. And also events that I had to attend. I am looking forward to seeing where this new direction will be going to. I have to thank and give a shout out to those who are really helping me with this project. I also want to thank all of the great photographers that I am looking forward to working with in the coming weeks.. You guys are the best and on my calendar! The images are going to look amazing! I know it! Frenimies? There are such things.. you see them on reality shows and wonder if they actually exist. They do. I find that it is funny when you find them.. as they are like that leprechaun with the gold.. shady in soo many ways but, somewhat cute like a new kitten. I have some stories that I will personally tell on my Blog when I have a chance.. you will get a laugh out of it, I know! :) April 15, 2010 Boot camp, Hell in Heels, and Bitch in training? XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. There is a lot to get done and of course not enough time to get it all done. I have been fortunate to have some time with some kick ass photographers, models, and companies lately. All of which I have made some great memories. I find that I do some of my best networking through twitter, modeling sites, forums, and just texting.. I would make more phone calls if I was not awake in the middle of the night thinking on what I would love to chat about! Lack of sleep.. hum? I am sure there is much more to come this year.. as this is the YEAR for a lot to happen. Dare to wear? Okay there are a few things that I just would have to say do need to land on the Fashion Don't pages of Glamour but, I have a huge wish to rebuild my modeling wardrobe and Suzy is getting it done for me. Over ten corsets and more on the way.. Check out her Facebook pages if you can as you would love to see the items in person.. the images on the web just really do not do them justice. When I got my first set of three. I was amazed.. they were perfect! She can order the fancy ones and the crazy sexy ones.. send her the request and she will find it for you! A year gone.. and granted that last year was one that I would rather forget but, we have learned from it.. who to listen to and who to not.. how to get stabbed in the back and who is just out for themselves. We are always very competitive. Models never have that sense as it is just installed :). And then there is the schedule.. granted see that page and it is always a bit nuts.. changes in things and postponements and then more changes... not just mine persay :) it happens ~ away we go :)~! April 12, 2010 Boot camp, Hell in Heels, and Bitch in training? XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. New images are freaking up! I have over 15 new images up and more to come from Matthew and Lewis. Thanks guys for everything and I look forward to working with them and others very soon. Suzy and Bella are working on some kick ass outfits.. come to be disclosed only on sties permission granted... Love them.. and the results are just going to be as amazing. Technology.. I have got to make a day when all I do is return calls and figure out who all I have lost their emails and phone numbers. My beautiful pink phone crashed and I lost half of the numbers and emails that I had.. granted that was about 500 of them.. and dammit to get them back.. so email me if I have not talked to you as I did not mean to! Yeeks! There are never enough hours in the day. But we all live that life where you want something or someone and then it becomes the game. And speaking of games.. there are some to be played and many to be won.. this is where I become the bitch.. as I hate taking the challenge and not finding the reward. Esp when I know I have won.. and the caddy things that have been said behind ones back? well they always somehow come back to me.. even if they were with a twist not said.. plate glass window? Games.. and time pieces... diamonds and daggers.. but how can you have life without a little war here and there? :) April 9, 2010 Boot camp in session.... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. A lesson learned and a new adventure. that is what I would call this week. I got to do a preshoot with someone today and I will be very excited to see what images we can come up with our very imaginative creativity. We shall see.. now only if we can get the calendar to work with us! Speaking of.. I have to say that it has been a juggling mess short of a cluster.. to get things finally scheduled. With events, promotions, shoots, and then trying to also figure out what all I need for these things.. I kind of laugh as there is not ever enough time in the day. I am glad to get my tanning nap in here and there and damn I even missed it today! Oh well tomorrow.. breakfast in bed... I have recently been working with some amazing new photographers.. I am soo happy to have made some really good friendships with the ones that are local as well as the ones that are out of state. They are a rock that most models never get that chance as they for some reason never finally get that rapport.. I am very lucky! I will be working to get the new images and waiting to get some of the ones back from Lewis.. :) to put up shortly. This week I have had four shoots.. and next week seems just as busy.. we shall see what the travel calendar does for me as well. Stay tuned. And then there is the gossip. People who have no ideas and people who have the best ideas.. and the ones where you just go.. WTF? I find that granted everyone does texting and emails but, sometimes when the emotion needs to be there, a hand written letter or a phone call would be soo much better for the situation.. and the gossip?? that I have heard? Please.. I am sure there are so much better things to worry about. Like what show to watch, what shoes to get, and whether or not that the reality TV show that we love will be coming back. April 7, 2010 Boot camp in session.... XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Another shoot with Matthew Helton this evening. some new concepts.. water.. ice.. and some fishnets.. but they look pretty cool. You had to see the concept in motion as this was a work in progress but, Matthew was such a good sport in all of this! Thanks for another great shoot! Images to come shortly! Calendar shuffle.. that is what I call it with the way my calendar looks. Schedules change on both sides of the coin and we just work with it and see what happens. Shoots that have been lined up then change but, still working on some images to get up from Matthew, Lewis, and then will be working with L, Robert, and Chris. :) Georgous.. that is what I have to say about the items that I have to say about the corsets that I have gotten and I always want more..they are amazing and very intriguing.. some might have not never make the camera :) Thanks Suze for all of your help and finding the perfect ones.. :) if you are looking for wardrobe, please see my wish list page for some of my faves to order from! April 4, 2010 Getting ready for the .... of 2010!!! XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Another shoot down and I am working with more people, props, and themes this time around.. I am psyched to be along for the ride...A very fun shoot with Lewis Lennon of Winning Edge Images.. it was soo easy and we had a great time, I can't wait to put up some of the faves that I have as there are way too many, thanks Lewis! And to the other shoots I have scheduled this week.. should be a lot of fun! The weekend is almost over and I still have a crammed calendar! I have a couple of shoots in the next three days and then I do have a couple of days that are not filled but, I have a few things that I have got to get done.. the never ending TO DO list. I also have to out some of the new numbers into the rolodex. I have not had soo many issues with a phone company and so I had to switch my phone number.. so if you had it.. you don't LOL :) I can't wait to see the new corsets that I have ordered from the link below... Suze is amazing along with Bella who has also been a great finder of outfits for me.. I am sure I am going to own stock in both by the end of the summer.. love their styles and also meeting up with some clothing designers... and who knows what I can come up with next!?? But new images will be coming with the items that I have gotten. Thanks also to Angela and Nori as well. The tanning challenge is on...Thanks to The Sun Club, Classy Nails and Tan, and Outback!... . tanning cocktails... sun and wow can I even put that in here? I always want to get darker... !! There are way to many beds and tanning lotions I want to try! A very huge shout out to....The Crew.. and a very special shout out to M, R, and C. You know what you have done :) or what we can say that you have done LOL :) Tan Tax Challenged As ‘Racist’ Doc Thompson, who was covering the airwaves in the absence of radio show host Glenn Beck, alleged racism on the part of the new 10 percent tanning tax that’s embedded in the health care bill. He shared his comments publicly as he guest hosted on March 30, 2010. Mentioning President Obama’s past statements empathizing with those who have experienced racism, Thompson pointed out the irony of the president’s endorsement of a measure rooted in discrimination. Thompson noted that U.S. indoor tanners are not naturally “dark-skinned people,” but “light-skinned Americans.” Regardless of whether Thompson was being satirical or serious (or both), his claim of now having experienced “the pain of racism” has gone down in radio-show history. March 27, 2010 BIRTHDAY WEEK 2010!!! XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Okay so the week has passed but, I still get to celebrate with friends and family for my Birthday.. and who does not love a good celebration? I am always in for a great event or party.. ask anyone who is close to me and they know! As long as the images stay where they are supposed to. I have added the Facebook page of one of my great vendors for outfits. She is amazing and I hope to do plenty of business with her as I am already on order number three with her! Check out some sample images on my Wish List page and hope to hear that you have ordered something for me .. or hell something for yourself! There is some amazing stuff on there... and georgous! Hope I can make it look that good! The tanning challenge is on...Thanks to The Sun Club, Classy Nails and Tan, and Outback!... . tanning cocktails... sun and wow can I even put that in here?

One more day and then of course the celebration of the year.. okay maybe not the one big one of the year but, IT will make its mark never the less! I am psyched about it with my great friends, the Crew, and the many great others who have made this soo special! I can't imagine it without them.... Speaking of... I ran into a couple of photogs who I have not shot with in ages and we are planning on working together this Spring. One of them has done some of my fans faves and have to get back with him to do some more! Thank you! I also have met some great models who I have been working on getting my modeling wardrobe back .. so Suze from MM - major player in helping me get this done.. see more on my Wish List page on some of the fabulous items...! She has a facebook page and I will be posting that link shortly! Also a very special shout out to Nori Z. Who sent me the latex outfit.. whoo hoo.. Love it! March 22, 2010 BIRTHDAY WEEK 2010!!! XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. A little okay ,maybe some major....kink for the birthday week...I just got an amazing outfit from Nori and then I have four more to order from some of the other fabulous models and these guys are amazing.. not only the clothes.. but the great personalities that have gone with it .. what more could a girl ask for.. always needing new clothes.... and who does not.. the Latex came first and the corsets are on the WAY! Whoo hoo a way to start of the new year.. a dark tan.. new stuff... and then.. the attitude.... and the pink whip goes well with it all!! Time for the magic... The spells, the castings, the friendships and then there is the gossip, the feuding, the rumors, and the lies. Vengeance is best served cold and with ..more to come later.. survival of the fittest.. never emotional no regrets!.. March 14, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Getting back into the modeling business.. is kind of hard but, I had my best first back shoot with Matthew Helton. New images are up.. they I think are on gallery 12? It was fun and easy, granted I have a few physical things to work on but, putting up some of my favorite images. I have a few more to tweak before I put them up and then I will have some more from my other two shoots this week.. more shoots planned and working on a few more... interested ?? LMK. Time for the magic. Granted this last year was one to forget but, this one has already been amazing with the new photogs I have met. Just have to get them lined up for shoots! Themes is the name of the game. Could be interesting? The tanning challenge is on.... dark Princess... will keep you updated on how this challenge is going. and btw.. I hate to lose this one! So we shall see... For those who know me, they know I hate being pale! A very huge shout out to.... You know who you are and thank you.. MUAH! March 11, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Spring Beauty Event... and the cocktail parties getting ready for?? One shoots are being lined up for the rest of the month. Crazy time with getting these lined up since I have not been in front a camera since all of the fun started last year! Looks like evenings in the Atlanta area are going to be first and then a road trip in April. Also.. COUNTDOWN... for the annual celebration of my birthday :). I love having out with friends. With all of the new ones that I have met, I know this will be such a memorable year. Time does fly as it is already March! I can't believe where the time has gotten to and I thought I was being that organized. Oh well. Thank goodness for white out and post its. I am trying to fit everything in. It seems to get more crammed in than anything. Thanks for those who are being that patient with me. It has been chaotic. The tanning challenge is on.. between me and a few other girls that I know.. I love and have been in the industry since 88 and thank you to Susan, Cory, Kristin, Cathy and their staff for all they have been doing for some awesome bronzing. I am one that I hate being pale. Just me. Bronze, beaches, drinks, surf, and friends. What more can a girl ask for? March 2, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Snow and I am out of town doing some work and getting crap for it, NICE! The team that I work with on projects as well as the one that I work with full time.. we have a dysfunctional family base but, it works to get things done. Work is my life and I am very driven. so making sure that projects get done is the first priority. And of course the paying ones are the ones that go to the head of the list. Others I have found that I just don't click with and won't work with. I just don't have the time to rebuild my life and what not and deal with major drama. Just don't and for those who just can't seem to grasp that after everything that has happened last year.. Buh BYE. And then there are the others that are wanting me to be included in the drama.. interesting. The story lines are alone enough to make anyone blush. Part Two? Will happen this weekend and next.. as my birthday celebration begins. Cheers. A very huge shout out to the Crew. M, D, R, M, L, T, V, J, J, S, and J. A very amazing memory made, thank you!! February 23, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Something's never change, some personalities never are understood. I again never feel as if I have accomplished anything as not to also feel as if i have let someone down. It has been a hard last year but, this year is very different. Trust me on that. Vengeance is always served best cold and even better in high heels. And if the heart gets broken or the friendship has to fade out. Might be playing the game but, we always play to win. Right? Other than that? Just figuring out some more scheduling and networking. Trying to make a normal day extraordinary.. and yes.. it can happen... ask... oh well.. okay don't ask.. you might not get that right answer LOL :). February 22, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. A loss. S has passed away. A family member who was diagnosed with bone cancer. Sent home and was in immense pain before passing. Life very fragile and always ever changing. Another curve ball. Time flies by and I am soo thankful for those who have been there for me and those who are always around right at the right time. Could not have gone through all of this without you! I have been busy with scheduling OMG, talk about white out and just wondering where the darn day went. Emails, texts, and what not, I hope to get some of this under control.. that saying hit the ground running is about right. And even with having my surgery over a couple of months ago, I am still finding out some of the after affects on what I can and can not eat! Lord.. someone really should write a manual about this ya know? It would help out tremendously! A very also happy birthday to a couple of very special friends of mine.. they know... and they also know how to very well celebrate! Congrats to another year! February 15, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It amaze me how people can say things about you when they think that they know what you have gone through but, then they have no idea. I keep hearing the negative on how my schedule has been nuts.. hum.. four visits to the ER, surgery, a flood that wiped out my house and more of the belongings.. yep just a few things that take precedence. And then a job that pays the bills, yep have to have one of those and when all of that is going on at once.. you have to imagine that the calendar gets a bit cluttered. So for those who get it, thanks.. for those who don't oh well. I currently have been working with some of the local businesses such as Outback Tanning, Spa V Mobile, Alexis Suitcase, Cookie Lee Jewelry, and the Ovarian Cancer organization. These gals have amazing businesses and information. Please email me for contact information for these! Thanks to all of them for an amazing last weekend. Other than that. I have been pretty busy with the house.. the job, the new reports I am doing, school, and life. I used to think that things were simple.. I guess I was wrong. Complex and complicated... another month rolls by. February 8, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Ugh ... sick for three days now and not being able to hold food down.. yesh I can say quite repulsive. Not having a good start to the week but, there is a rainbow as I am getting better.. I have to be as I can't get worse...! And there is a certain birthday that one has to be celebrating... for those who know me.. not it is not mine.... :) Diamonds and daggers. Life seems to throw you both. I seem to get a little more fun with the latter of the two. I find that true life is what you make it.. so we shall see that story play out ... wait for it :).... And yes back to B and S. C could never figure out how to stay one step in front and trust me that would never happen. Esp in Flats! DH .. getting as handsome a ever .. maybe meeting C at the gym? M could be the infamous liar, always caught without an answer or at least not telling the right one. D the unsung hero of this episode maybe? Might be with a little help. More to come.. The Crew :) January 31, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Determined to hit the ground running this next week and next month for that matter as I have a lot of things going on and a lot of catching up to do. I knew that the events of last year would put me off track somewhat but, I never thought that I would be this backlogged. I guess this is what happens when your calendar also gets washed upstream. Not to mention some of the important contact information. So up and about at an early hour for the next few days and will be out and about at night.. I am sure I might find what sleep is once again. Crimson red, I love this color and pink.. seems to be that everything that I am getting is in one of those colors.. or black LOL. Reminds me that the Crimson Ball/Party is coming up soon.. no cars are allowed as limos are required to attend this formal engagement. Should be another memorable night. And back to the G and I seem to never figure out, granted might not b in that inner circle of the masses but, seriously who wants to be. While some seem to relish in kissing and telling. Again worry about yourself and not everyone else. Their downfall will come soon enough. Bloody Mary anyone? Drinks will be on a certain person if they can't keep up this time around. January 24, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Taking some time, time to rethink and some grouping for some of the latest news and projects. It has already been a year and this month is not even over a of yet LOL. Just kidding.. updated my MySpace and my Twitter today, trying to make sure that I have you informed on the latest! Things always seem to have a twist lately or their own agenda. Nice. Almost a new month and I have to say that I love Valentine's day. I just love the flowers, red dresses, and of course the parties. Some say that it is almost as important as a New Years Party.. or for the guys Superbowl. I wonder what I will get this year? Projects! Man trying to keep up with all of the emails and what not to get some of these on the print block and out of the mind is kind of hard. Making schedule changes of course. So with that keep the emails and the Texts coming :). Loving all of the new ideas that are going on. Bloody Mary anyone? Drinks will be on a certain person if they can't keep up this time around. January 21, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Stress can do some pretty interesting things to people. I try to keep mine under wraps as much as I can but, sometimes it does become way to much for me to handle. I have a few hats that I wear and doing things for year end always makes my head spin. All those forms, numbers, and what not to get done.. I am sure there is a simplistic way to get this done right? I just have not figured it out yet! I guess I also need some more patience. With a new year, I find that some people never change but, then the ones that I have been reacquainted with brings in some new possibilities. A lot of new and exciting projects are in the works and I can't wait to get them started. Just seems like it has been such a long time since I have worked in front or behind the camera.. so it is like first date jitters to make sure that everything is again perfect. Darn those surgery scars as I don't see them going away as much as I wanted them to. Oh well. Thank God for some photo shopping :). Should be fun never the less. I thank my true friends and colleagues who have been there through all of the drama and just everything as I don't know what I would do without them.. oh yeah less blackmail photos LOL. Bloody Mary anyone? Interesting .... party story I will have to save for a later date.. January 17, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Chinese Laundry shoes, Bebe tops, and a few other things that I have gotten in the last few days from some amazing people. I thank again everyone who has helped me rebuild life and stuff persay after last years events. This year has started off with an amazing chat with some great friends who promise to make this year memorable.. and with that it might lead to your imagination. A couple of slips of the texts might give you some insight but, you have to figure it out. This could be hotter than an episode of the OC. Lies, space, and Duh! I am not sure who thinks that what they say gets back to me.. or even with the actions is louder than words.... never the less... done with that. Just remember that revenge is best served cold. Mimosa anyone? A rounding out the weekend into the next week. I have a few things in the works... cheers to that and the other party around the corner.. have you received your personalized invite? I would def come if you can. It will be a must be at event. Limos are not optional they are required. Valentino.. Gucci... Maggie Sottero..... more details to come.... XOXO January 7, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. They have said the four letter word around here and it is SNOW. Ick.. I thought I lived in the south for a reason. I have been been out and about getting things ready for my projects that I am working on and also getting rid of the scars from my surgery last year. I will be glad to get back in front of the camera when all is said and done. The new year has started and this time no more drama. Tired of the antics and people who say they are friends and they are def NOT. I have helped quite a few people out this past year. I think I deserve less stabs in the back. Just me as I can be a pretty go happy lucky person. Esp if it involves shopping and maybe a sale or two. BTW love my new Betsey Johnson shoes! I also can say that the new lines of tanning lotions that are out by Devoted and Designer Skin.. get a bottle and drink some sunshine! No more tan lines! I have a few projects going on .. some I can share and others..... well they are to be unveiled later.. I am excited about all of them, working with some amazing people, publishers, and companies. Dare to dream? Why not live out the fantasy? January 1, 2010 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. I just had the most amazing day... I got a lot accomplished as for errands and then I went shopping. It is hard to figure out on all that was lost from last years flood but, I did know that I needed to get some more lingerie! So I found the sale to quench that need.. and with a few new outfits .. conquered :). I also have been working with a local Tanning company and getting everything I need for the golden tan I know and love. I have some color now but, give it a couple weeks and I will be Spring Break ready :)~. The new year has now begun. Lots of memories from last year but.. even better ones to make for this year. I have dealt with the backstabbing, crossing, idiots.. as we all have but, no more.. this is all about me.. maybe being a little more selfish .. after surgery I have been working more and more on self image. I have tried to please everyone at once and guess what...it can't be done.. at least not like this. Having a sanity point is one thing. And to those who were mean and cruel last year... Just wait. Karma is a bitch ya know. December 20, 2009 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. A few things have been changing around here and there.. not all of them promising but never the less interesting. Friends I thought I had and then then ones that were unexpected, and then ones who just were not. I will be letting some go for sure.. less of a headache. No more promises. The house is coming along with cabinets, painting, and soon to be carpet. I will be very glad when I get back in as this has been an emotional roller coaster with the insurance! And I hear in one part of town they are hoping that the govt will buy their houses as they can't rebuild for the money that they have gotten, how crazy is all of that? The flooding happened in a matter of hours and this is taking a matter of months. Have you ever made those New Year's resolutions and kept it? I plan on keeping a few of mine. A list has been growing for about a month now and this is grand :) of course I want some new images, more clothes, and my tan back... another one I an already planning is my beach vacay! Looks like I might be going to SC or FL for that and one trip out to Vegas at least! I can't wait for some down time just to relax and not have to worry about anything. Even if it is for a couple of days! A special thanks to Diane, Melissa, Jason, Tara, Bob, Steve, Joe, Tera, Janelle, Jeannie, April, Lisa, Tom, and Mindy! You guys know :) December 16, 2009 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. I recently had surgery to remove my gallbladder. I am hoping to be fully recovered by the end of the year and what is with the cynical comments that I keep getting? I thought I was the cynical one? To those who again have not walked in my shoes have nothing to base their comments on. Just being quite honest here as hard to comment on a situation if you don't know everything that is going on. And I think that is true for a lot of what is going on in anyone's life. This has not been a stellar modeling year ~ with a few more things going on I have not been able to pay attention to it as I ought to. Just when you are working to rebuild the house and make sure everything else is somewhat back on track. I have not been in front of the camera or helping plan the events that I usually have. BUT that is about to all change. working on getting rid of the scars from the surgery, getting the tan, and also have a few other tricks up my sleeve for this new year.. stay tuned :) The holidays. I usually love the holidays. The atmosphere and everything. This year I am more into the hey it is the end of another year. It has been one heck of a hard one since about August with medical issues and then the flooding and what not. I have had some amazing people around me for support and I thank them for everything that they have done. They are helping me make some new memories. Speaking of : ~~J always makes me smile, K always knows what to bake, M is my shopping partner for life.. she always knows where to find things, G keeps me grounded, J does not let me go off of track, T always has my back, B very insightful, D if she only knew what a great gal she is, The Crew... can't ask for much more! A special thanks to Cory and Kelly. I love the new shades and the new nails.. things are getting back to normal. Click. Click. December 5, 2009 XOXO. Surgery. I recently had surgery to remove my gallbladder. It was detected in the latest run to the ER where I ended up doubled over in pain and was not sure what was going on. Amazingly this was not detected in an ultrasound that was taken just two months prior. So onto scheduling and into surgery I went. I am not a very good patient as I have a very weak stomach. So getting cut and then the band aid village that followed has been quite of a journey. And the medications? WOW. I am still very sore and I am trying to make my recovery time as short as possible. I can't see how people do elective surgery as I know this would not be anything I would not be a candidate. I am thankful for all of the emails and texts. Can this year be over>?? OMG! Let's see.. from being diagnosed with hypertension, anxiety, to fainting, to the ER, the back stabbing, the gossip, the frenimies, to the flood, and fire. I am OVER this year to say the least. I am done. This next year will be different in a lot of ways.. I promise you that. One I won't be taking those rumors lying down and two... be ready for some killer images this next year! Enough said. And for those who have been super critical, I am not dead yet... and what you say always gets back to me.. always. November 21, 2009 XOXO. Talk Shit Get Hit. Sinderella might have had stepsisters but,. I have something more juicy than that. The fact that when women are scorned, they just don't get mad.. as the saying goes they get even. I find that when it involves me it even gets more interesting.. esp when the rumors are not even close to reality.. and they are not even better. You would think that the inventive would be creative at best. Nope.. mundane. So time to liven up this stage and of course .. :). A very special thank you to some amazing people whom I have received some very special things from. This helps me get back on my feet. It also helps with the attitude of hitting the ground running.. There always seems to be a lot to be done and not enough time to get it all done. Speaking of time.. can you believe that is already November? And the end of the year is just around the corner?? I can't believe that it has been two months since the flood and fire! There has been a lot that I know I ma missing and I am not even sure what all I have to replace. Simple things like a hair dryer, towels, a heater, a fan, mirrors, .. I keep making lists and then they get longer! Yeeks! So much for falling back an hour and saving some time.. where did it go? Vacay. I am hoping to have one sometime this winter, even if it is only a weekend.. now if I can find some things to pack or have the funds to buy what i would need to wear where I go.. hum now where am I going?? A few of you know... :) November 17, 2009 XOXO. Into the night and making the most of the day. That is the motto that you have to live by when you have soo much going on at once. Hitting the ground running and only in the most fabulous heels you can find. Of course a day in my shoes.. hum can you see? Lessons. Some people should learn lessons when things happen to them. Or are said to them in hopes that they can transpose the words into actions that they can actually use. I find more and more people - they know who they are - just can't keep their mouths shut and again it all comes back to me.... like you thought that other people would not tell? or swear that they would not? Hum did you honestly think that was going to happen? Eyes and ears everywhere... shhh :) Sheckys. If you did not get to go this past go around, you again missed out.. I would see if it if coming back to your city or when it comes back here in the Spring... I have found the best vendors there and I hope to get even better deals this next time around. Shapely. Lively. Secrets. Parties. Gowns. And the schedule that I hope will be back to normal sometime in the near future.. I can't believe that it has almost been two months since I lost my home and most of my belongings! I have seen the progress and it is coming along.. you would be amazed at what the contractors can do. Last but not least ....I added some things to my wish list to recover some of the things that I lost again. Gift certificates to anywhere :) and I do mean anywhere. there is soo much to replace! November 8, 2009 XOXO. Talk shit.. Get hit.. a line on a bumper sticker that I love. it is by Hustler and if anyone wants to give me anything with that on it! Please do.. just because we all know the story or the rumor now.. and it just makes me wonder and my head hurt. And with the Crew I have gotten some of my sanity and my back covered :) love having the friends that I do.. they are simply amazing.. of course they would do anything for me :) Reconstruction: In the process of getting the house back in one piece. It has been a process to say the least. I don't like to go there as it just makes me miss what I lost. The annuals, the images, the everything.. and I still don't know what or where is everything! I try to think that it is something that I don't need but, everything that I know of that I lost has a memory or a place. I am sure everyone has that feeling in a tragedy. I know that even formal dresses were lost. Consolidation! I have been given a lot these last weeks and want to thank those who have been soo generous and amazing! I can not express in words how it feels to have things donated to me that you guys know I need.. now maybe I can get my sanity back! Okay maybe that might take awhile! L:) And more rumors.. geeze.. can HS antics leave the building? I can only get enough texts and emails LOL. So again a martini and all is well.. drained out for the day.. back to real business. ... ahem :) Last but not least ....I added some more things to my wish list to recover some of the things that I lost again. Gift certificates to anywhere :) and I do mean anywhere. there is soo much to replace! November 1, 2009 XOXO. Shopping, a favorite past time when you are replacing things that you have lost... so I went to some of my favorite places... and got some amazing deals. Alexis Suitcase, Platos, Looks of Atlanta, Macys, Body Central, Aldo, Armani Exchange, Bebe, and then the internet. Had to add some of the others to the wish list! I am hoping that I can have some more sent to me for some shoots, let me know! Devine. Life can be only with the right people.. and you know who they are when they come into your life.. others you just shake your head and wonder.. I have been dealing with the emotional and physical strains that the flood and fire have given me. It is a daunting task to see and work on every day. The mental aspect to knowing that you have to jump through hoops to make the paperwork go through is just the beginning. A huge sigh when you start to see work being done. And the rumors.. again are just that.. something that I just won't deal with nor will I understand. I have not a clue as to why some people have nothing better to do than to make up "stories" just to make some soap opera drama to have going.. I guess when you have bigger things to deal with some things again are too trivial. Last but not least ....I am not only asking for things on my wish list but, I am asking for simple things, like plastic shoe boxes. Gift certificates to anywhere :) and I do mean anywhere. there is soo much to replace! October 20, 2009 XOXO. A few things. One that rumors are just that, rumors. And when you find yourself in one that is distasteful. I am not sure how you act? But I for one am the person who wants to find out why and the WTF? Esp when it has NO merit? I say this going through the flood and fire and finding out that some people have not a clue as to what i am going through. I have lost quite a few things.. personal and professional. getting ones life back on track and not knowing where things are? Try again finding a needle in a haystack. not the most fun I can say but, I am glad that we were able to save some of the precious stuff ...but the annuals, some images, and def favorite outfits are up river so to say. I have to give a shout out for Jayna who is the owner of Alexis Suitcase as she is an amazing and compassionate person. She helped me out a bunch and made sure I matched! Second, getting back to a schedule. Something that I love being organized and having my best foot forward to hit the ground running. Well with things all over the darn place, I am finding that getting things done like I want them is a little bit harder to do. So bear with me but, I am getting back to some sort of normal if that is at least possible. Third. the house... most of you have not seen it but, I am putting up images here so you can see what a crazy mess this has been. bear with me as some of these might be on my myspace pages first. October 10, 2009 XOXO. When I sit and think about all of the things that I have lost it brings back soo many memories on how I got them, what I wore, and so on. We all have to start over at some points of our lives, moving up and growing up... this just seems soo much of a challenge for me this time around. I hate trying to replace things and memories and wiping that horrible day from my life is hard. I keep replaying it in my mind on what might have happened to me. my family, losing even more. Sad to think and then you cry. And only to know that you are human. you have lost your drive on some things but, try to get back to what anyone would call normal. I am not only asking for things on my wish list but, I am asking for simple things, like plastic show boxes. Gift certificates to anywhere :) and a huge shout to Alezxis Suitcase Consignment.. She is amazing and I would not even know where to start thanking all of the people who have helped out in the last few weeks. THANK U! October 5, 2009 XOXO. My head hurts just from everything that has happened.. the record braking flood, staying where it is def not my home. Just a lot that I am not adjusting to very well. I wish I was but, I know this is not an easy time for anyone but, I want some sort of stability. As I know there is some out there to be had. I am sure that there will be some changes major in the near future and I am not sure on what all they will be. I am just working hour by hour and day by day to see what the world can do for me.. as it seems sometimes things are way spinning out of control. The worst feeling is that.. right? September 21, 2009 XOXO. Alive. That is about all I can sum it of for is that my family is alive after a flood, a fire, and utter gutting of what we would call our home. A flash over of the fire and being in the same room.. is an experience that no one should ever have to go through. We do have amazing friends.. we have had numerous emails and help at cleaning up and a shoulder to cry on when it is is just overwhelming. With that. I will probably be another month until things actually have a schedule and I have even a moments time to get anything in the calendar. If you have some patience, let me know about a pending project. I am sure to get to them as soon as I can. Also I want to get some more color before I also get in front of a camera.. I have not tanned in over a month and a half! Those who know me, know that is not like me! |
