I’m still not 100% well, but at least I’m no longer contagious. I had a fun session earlier today and after that I spent the afternoon catching up on work that had been neglected while I was out of commission all weekend. My live-in slave Jennah has been camping with her family so it’s been me here making my own tea. :-/ She gets home tonight though, so I plan to put her to work!

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 been totally wiped out since Saturday, stricken with a really bad flu that had me with a 101.3 degree temperature. I’m feeling much better now, on antibiotics and recovering watching “Drag Me To Hell” on HBO. I just bought a new phone. It’s a droid so it should help me handle my business affairs more efficiently!

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 love hanging out in gay bars. The people are friendly, I never get bothered by overbearing macho men, and I can get all dressed up and be appreciated for being fabulous. Friday night was my friend’s birthday and she was doing a drag show at a gay bar on Dort Hwy so I headed down there, but the music was just atrocious. Awful, hip-hop, r&b, just awful booty bar music not what I would expect from a gay bar as they usually have fun dance music and trance. I had to leave early because the music made me feel icky, as did all the bump and grind on the dance floor. I’d really like to find a fun local bar to hang out in periodically!

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.

Those of you who have been following me for a while have been aware of the various tattoos I’ve been collecting on my body. One in particular was on my right arm and was of a Jerry Only-esque zombie. I was never pleased with it. it was crooked, muddy and everyone thought it was Michael Jackson from the Thriller video! Granted, I have always liked Thriller but it was most certainly NOT a tattoo of MJ.

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.

Every so often, I go through my vast collection of fetish clothing, photos, and personal items and put them up for sale to make room for new things.

I know I have not been posting on here or on MySpace for a while but I have been very slammed with sessions and traveling. I had a great trip to Pittsburgh a month ago and loved working with Irene Boss and my trip to Phoenix was great as well. I look forward to seeing everyone next week at DomCon LA.

My website has been undergoing some redesign and when things are ready to go I will post about it.  I have spent a lot of time in Panama this year and have enjoyed a great romance with mucho ballbusting involved.  There is nothing like planting my foot right into a pair of weak testicles. ::sigh::

I have a client coming in in two hrs. and am relaxing after my last session. I was made aware that my calendar was outdated so here I am, back in the groove. My apologies for being so errant but such is the life of a dominant diva. See you in Los Angeles May 6-10th.

I had a great time in Panama and am off to LA next week for DomCon. If anyone wishes to session with me there they should contact me asap!

This will be my first trip there, and I hope it will be a busy one. I am going to be taking sessions there and shooting two videos for Irene so if you live there and have wanted to see me, now is your big chance! i will be there March 26th-30th!

Jennah and I put some finishing touches on the dungeon. It looks so great now! Just in time. I leave early in the morning to go visit my family in Orange County, CA and to see some of my clients there.

It’s going to be nice and warm there so I plan to spend some time by the pool at my hotel during the day and see some of my friends at night. Life is good.

I have been traveling so much lately, just got back from Exotica Detroit and a day before that from Mexico where I had a blast. I did some rappelling, zip-lining, bike riding, hiking through the jungle and up the ruins of Coba, I swam in a cave, played in the ocean and just soaked in the rays. I am dying to go back!

I am back just in time for my birthday so if you don;t know what to get me, you can check out my wishlist on amazon for a few ideas.

I am going to be in Anaheim, CA Dec. 4th-7th taking sessions at Mistress Jordan's and in Jan. I am going to be in Phoenix at the Den again. I am also going to Panama Jan. 3-8th for the very first time! Good times.
