There are a million remodeling projects i would love to get going around the house but I’d REALLY love to get my dungeon painted. My house is older and the the people who lived here before me were fond of wood paneling which is what’s down in the dungeon. I want it painted over ASAP.  More sessions tomorrow, misc. errands and hopefully by this weekend I’ll be all caught up.

Sunday I’m going to do another shoot with Joe Cardenas. Should be fun.

I love Isabella Rossellini. i think she’s aged so gracefully and is such an interesting person. Enjoy this fantastic short film about NYC’s bedbug epidemic.

I’ve done a lot of reading lately and here are a few articles that I really enjoyed  about one of my favorite authors, Christopher Hitchens, and his admirable stance to remain true to his atheistic beliefs in the face of his own mortality.

Another about Greg Gutfeld whose decided to open an Islam-friendly gay bar near Park 51 aptly called “Dialogue”, and finally one about how even though H.P. Lovecraft created his mythos from fabrications from his own imagination to make an anti-religious point, Cthuluism has now been used to form an actual religion, something it was intended to poke fun at in the first place. Enjoy.

I’m thinking of getting myself a pit bull and a gun. Porsche Lynn was the first person to suggest I get a gun. I’ve been shooting before, and I think it’s finally time to have a gun. Legally, of course. I love pit bulls. They’re the sweetest, kindest, most wonderful and misunderstood breed of dogs and there’s one up for adoption that is so cute! They’re so much fun to run and cuddle with and spoil with love, plus I’d feel very protected by a muscular creature by my side.

I’ve been trying to sort through music all day to put on my ipod for my road trip to Traverse City, but it’s so time-consuming. I need a slave to do all tedious tech stuff for me. Mix tapes were so much easier!

I’m listening to Mike Patton’s Mondo Cane right now and I have to tell you, here is a shout out to Mike. If you read this, please marry me. I mean it. You are so clearly the man of my dreams for doing a cover of Ennio Morricone’s “Deep Down” from the soundtrack of Danger: Diabolik! Those of you who are unfamiliar with this musical genius with the most amazingly versatile voice that ever graced my divine ears might know him from such bands as Faith No More, Fantomas, Mr. Bungle, Dillinger Escape Plan etc. Those of you who don’t, should!  This particular CD is all covers of 1960s Italian film soundtracks which I adore. What a voice, what a man. Elegant and edgy all at the same time. Perfect.

Enough random thoughts for today. I need to hit replay and listen to this again. And again..and again…then start packing.

Anyway, to try to detract from the hideousness of that tattoo I started to add another tattoo of a Mars Attacks alien shooting a pinup girl in the head, blowing her brains out with a ray gun.  That never really got finished. I procrastinated, procrastinated, and eventually found a tattoo artist in NYC to do the cover-up over the zombie and pull the other tattoos into one cohesive piece. The problem was, 2 sessions into the tattoo he decided to become a complete douche bag because i wouldn’t go on a date with him.

I never went back, more time went by but I finally went on to do the color and only one more session remains before it’s finished. I should have it done within 2 weeks.  I’ve gone ahead and posted photos of the work I had done last month, 3 sessions. Almost done! Enjoy.

The color was done by the talented Carl Rowe at Acid Works Tattoo in Burton, MI.

I’ve been busy since I’ve been back and feel like I need to catch up on sleep! Right now I’m listening to Fantomas and planning out my day. So many errands!

I do hope that my fans will continue to visit my site and read my posts here to see what i am up to until I can get the webmaster thing figured out.

I’ve been spending most of my time doing real time sessions in my dungeon and not much in the way of photo shoots in the last 6months. I’ve just been overwhelmingly busy! But now I promise to keep everyone updated on my travels etc.

A few trips. A quick visit to NYC to visit my best friend who is doing a film school project and wants me to appear in it. I’ll have one day only to take sessions, 8/08/10.

I am going on vacation to Tulum, MX 9/20/10- 9/25/10 and I can hardly wait, as I do so love it down there!

And finally, I’ll be back in London, UK to stay with my wonderful, gorgeous friend Morrigan Hel and will be taking sessions 9/30/10- 10/02/10. After that I am off to Paris, France 10/03/10- 10/06/10 to visit friends and shoot with the inimitable Christophe Mourthe, visit with friends Jurgen and Alain, and shoot with Pierre Rutchsi.

It’s all very exciting news, que non?
