Florida was very hot, humid, and sticky. It even rained which was ok since I do like the rain when it’s warm like that but I almost got soaked in it so the waiter made us go inside and shut down the outdoor patio. My shoots went well, the sessions went well and a lot of fun and beer was thrown into the mix as well. I got to eat grouper and got to see the Dali museum too. I got completely devoured by mosquitoes so the next time i go I plan to get bug repellant.

Florida must like me because I have been asked go back yet again July 8th to shoot more stuff for Leg World with Steven Andres. The leg magazines love me. Steven said on Sunday that the editor had seen me in The Governess, one of the corporal videos I did with Bart for Syren and had a special idea for me to do a spread as a governess for our next shoot and it sounds totally up my alley so I’m headed back up there to shoot that and some other video stuff for Paige Richards. Maybe I’ll get another cover. I did the last time he shot me in 2004. I really like working with the both of them and I’m glad to be able to so easily now. I don’t know why I waited so long to just go for it. It’s a pretty quick trip there, if only I didn’t have to connect in Atlanta.

I made some new friends there too. Slave DarkObedience introduced me to his friend Carrie who is close to my age and into a lot of things I like such as travel and adventure, and even though we didn’t get to shoot as i had hoped I got to meet Jed. I had a feeling there wouldn’t be enough time. People are almost as friendly there as they are in Atlanta and I still can’t believe that one bar had $2.50 Stella Artois! My hotel was in a good spot, close to just about everything so it was easy to get around.

Tomorrow I have 3 sessions so it’s going to be a busy day for me. No rest for the wicked I guess.

In about an hour I am going to go get a much needed massage, and then I will pack for my trip. If you want to session with me there, there is still time to schedule a booking if you email asap though I will say that Sunday June 22 is completely booked now. It’s a short trip.

It’s so hot here today. I bet it will be a thousand times hotter and more humid in Florida. I decided to stay walking distance from the Dali Museum so I could make time to see it before one of my shoots. I have always wanted to go there and I’m very excited.

Other than that, nothing too exciting going on right now. I have a lot of sessions booked when I return so I will be busy and that’s a good thing.

I had such a super busy trip, it was insane. I got there pretty early on Friday 5/30 at 8am or so and headed to Robert’s from La Guardia. I got in and tried to have a nap, but didn’t get much of one so I tinkered around online for a while, went to Patricia Fields where I bought a killer hat with a dead raven on it and before I knew it it was time to meet Cari. I waited for her the Double Down but she was of course, as always..late so we had time for a couple drinks but no time to eat. We had to rush off and meet Igor at some bar Cindy Crawford’s husband owns near Central park so we could go to the show. The waitresses there were snobby cunts as is to be expected in that part of town so we didn’t stay. We just waited for him walk in and then we were off through the park. I have been in NYC a million times and even lived there, so the fact that I had never been to Central Park was funny to them. We took some amusing pics there for kicks and then went right in to the show. I was starving so I got a hot dog but I already had a beer in each hand (why wait in line twice?) so I had no choice but to put the hot dog in the only available space. My cleavage. Very classy and yes…we got photos. I only kept it there long enough to carry it over to the condiment stand and in seconds that thing was devoured.

The show was awesome and Igor, studly mc stud that he is somehow made it into the VIP section and was chatting up some waif. It was pretty funny. I don;t know how he does it.

After the show we went downtown back to the Double Down and had a few drinks and Igor walked down to Two Boots and got me two slices of the bayou beast which felt really nice after having no breakfast, lunch and not much of a dinner. About 1am though I was already tired having no sleep the night before so I went to bed.

The next day I met Robert for brunch at Yuca Bar and we ate outside because it was so nice. I had a couple of Bloody Marys because they make them hot and spicy there and the crabcakes benedict. Then I was off to Union Sq. to do a little shopping but it was just too crowded. I barely had time to make it back and change and hop on the subway to make it to the concert. I spaced off so I got off at 57th street and had to walk all the way up to 69th, but i still made it in plenty of time to grab a beer and get really close to the stage. I picked up on the fact that this girl by me was alone so I ended up hanging out with her through the DD show, and then kidnapped her and took her downtown to Ottos. She was in town from oakland just for the show and didn’t know much about NYC so I had to show her. We met up with my gorgeous friend Cheryl there and I saw old friends like Pete, Stephanie, Jodi…it was a fun time..but we wanted more. Cheryl had left her car at the Rodeo Bar so we went up there and I saw my old pal Chops who was as flattering to me as ever. His band was playing so we stayed for a few songs then we went to go meet the wonderful Mei Mei at the Double Down. We stayed there til closing and then went up to Robert’s for a few drinks. Myself and a group of hot women. LOL. Always the chick magnet.

I finally crawled into bed at 7am or so and I had a brutal hangover the next day. I slept in kind of late and Robert took me to Craft for dinner. I was dressed in the same outfit in my main profile pic but the floors were super slippery and I almost slipped in the restaurant like a goof. The dinner was great. I had the sweetbreads and they were so good. George had asked to meet me that night but after dinner I felt so wiped out I just stayed in and watched the Urijah Faber fight on TV instead and went to sleep. Sorry George.

I had sessions all the next day and afterwards went to dinner again with Robert to the Four Seasons and had this amazing braised rabbit dish with rabbit sausage and morel mushrooms. It was really awesome. More sessions all day the next day and then i had dinner with one of my favorite clients at the Blue Ribbon and we had a lot of fun together. My knee is still bruised from all of the ballbusting LOL.

I took him with me over to the Double Down to meet up with Cari, Gabrielle and Margaret and we had a blast. I want those pics. In fact, I have a lot of pics from the week if Cari ever sends them over to me. Gabrielle, Margaret and I went back to Robert’s and went to sleep and the next morning I got booked a last minute session. I barely had time to eat before I was out the door again, and afterwards I had to run back to meet my snake-eyed pal Frank who needed to install some photoshop on my laptop and some other stuff. It was an ordeal since apparently I have a virus that won’t let it install. Thank you, MySpace for littering my shit with your viruses. Protect the world from my tempera paint bloody horror, but infect my laptop with bullshit.

Anyway, I was almost late for my plane so Frank helped me with my luggage and I was off. Except for the fact that when i got there it was delayed…so I finally made it home several hrs later. Now I’m back and working my ass off as always. I’ll do another youtube blog once I have a minute to breathe. I had roofers here all day and they’ll be back tomorrow. So much shit to catch up on and do…jesus.

PS- I tried all week in vain (vein??LOL) to have a set of fangs made by Sabretooth but they couldn’t make it happen. I almost felt like I was bothering them trying to get them to come do them. I give up. I need a new set of custom fangs. Any references would be appreciated.

I thought I had posted this yesterday but it got eaten by cyberspace somehow. Hmm. For the last 3 days I have been blocked from entering my MySpace account so if you are trying to reach me there, I can’t get in. I had to send them a salute to prove I was me for them to agree to send me a new password because I think I got phished. So, hopefully soon that will be take care of! Enjoy my latest video blog.

From my forthcoming update! The Rubber Butcher! Here is a sample for your previewing pleasure…

I had a great time last night at the Duran Duran concert at the Masonic Temple in Detroit. I had really good seats, in the 10th row and as always I had a blast. The masonic Temple is a weird place as is pretty much all of Detroit. It had all of this old lustre. Marble walls and tiles, yet somehow looked haunted and ghastly. Detroit looks like it got hit by a bomb or something. Strange town.

Anyway I had a blast shooting with Joe the other day and here are more samples. I’ll have the updates coming all month.

Tonight I am having a party for UFC 84, just a small get together with friends watching the fight on pay per view. It looks like an awesome fight card with BJ Penn (one of my faves), Lyoto Machida who is an amazing fighter and Keith Jardine who is a great fighter but also seems like he has similiar taste in music as I do which is odd, since so many of those fighters are into hip-hop or nu-metal. I always have fun on fight nights since MMA is the only sport I really enjoy watching.

It seems MySpace accepted my salute and believes I am me so hopefully soon I will be able to log back in there again. I’m sure I will have shitloads of mail in there by the time i do. All I can do now is wait.

I’ve got Bumblebee right now sweating profusely as he struggles to get some screws into the wall to put some curtains up for me. I don’t think he’s used to such hard wood. LOL. He’s been working outside on my garden as well here and there, buying and planting flowers, tomatoes, cilantro, chiles, lavender though my garden is already pretty lush. It seem the previous owners of my pleasure palace planted lilacs, lily of the valley, spearmint, roses and loads of other beautiful and fragrant  things.

The trees in my yards are so mature and large that they are almost twice the height of my home. They have been here for at least 50 years, I’m sure. Old and wondrous things they are and seeing them outside the window everyday is a sight to behold. I can see hummingbirds and dragonflies buzzing through the branches and Ophelia has fun barking at the rabbits, raccoons and possums that scurry through the yard to torment her. Yet Ballenger Rd. is just right there, it feels like I am miles away from civilization. With the wind I hear the timbre of the numerous wind chimes I have peppered the yard with to drown out the construction on Miller Rd.

I called today to have the water line turned on for the yard since this is such a huge property it’s a separate line from the house and has to be turned off and on according to the changing of the seasons. I have a pool maintenance company coming to set up my pool and jacuzzi next week for the summer and I can hardly wait! I’ll be swimming like a siren in no time.

I’m going to have Jen come over soon to start the haunted mansion damask airbrushing project on the walls, and Bumblebee is going to start working on putting up the shoe shelves for my dressing room.

I have the biggest hard-on for Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsey and I can admit to it. I used to eat at Brasserie Les Halles on Park Ave. in NYC when I lived there between ‘98 and 2001 all the time. Once a week or so, I’d go there for lunch consisting of either steak au poivre or moules frites since it was down the street from the old Arena Blaze location. I had no idea who Anthony Bourdain was then (I only discovered his magnificence after I had moved). It pains me now to think I could have gone into that kitchen past all of his vato mostly Mexican staff and seduced him right there in his steaming kitchen. ::sigh::

His shows are amazing. His books even more so and not just the food-related ones. I absolutely love his novels Bone In the Throat and Gone Bamboo. He’s gritty and raw; honest and decadent. He is a sensualist in that he adores food and travel with fervor. The smells, the sights- the experiences. I can’t help but wish i was 15 years older so I might have bumped into him in NYC at CBGBs or some other such haunt since he has similiar taste in music. Now I can only hope to one day bump into him at some dive bar somewhere while picking Stooges songs on the jukebox and have a few shots at the bar while discussing his appreciation for Latino workers in America’s kitchens. So yeah, I’m gushing.

My love affair with Gordon Ramsey is a little different though the fact the he and AB are close friends does make it a little perverse. He’s about the bluntest motherfucker in the universe and doesn’t suffer fools. He ruthlessly vies to bring out the best in people through extreme discipline. I find that sort of thing refreshing, coming from Southern California the land of yes men and the two-faced where no one is what they say they are and everyone plays at being a friend. I wish more people were as honest as that in this universe.

Now before anyone starts messaging me thinking that trying to emulate these brash, foul-mouthed qualities is going to endear you to me, sorry…I don’t think it’s going to work. Mistresses can have fantasies too and while these two have a part in them, you don’t. Too bad, both of those bastards are married.

So they are doing construction on Miller Rd. all summer since “construction” is one of our seasons here. We have no spring or summer. It goes straight from Winter to Construction every year. Anyway, it always ends up interrupting our Comcast crappy cable service at least once and voila! Today the cable is out in the area. So how am I online? I had to go to the Mega Classic Diner to log on since they are a hot spot. They also have the best hot dogs so I’m stuffing my gob full of wieners right now as I type this. LOL.

I’ve been so busy over the last week and it’s going to get busier. The weeks are flying by. I’m going to be in NYC May 31st-June 4th and got my ticket last night. If you want to session with me get in touch asap because I’m going to be booked solid.
