Greetings,

I am paying a visit to H-town at the end of the month. I will be there on family biz but will save a day or two for my own biz. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested. I will probably bring some things I have made & if you have a modeling project you think will work lemme know. Looking forward to my time in Texas, it has been too long since I have been there!

Well I am feeling official about this enough to put it here, so here goes.....
I have an opportunity to do a Fashion show. It will be at Exotica in Detroit in November so I am going for it. My friend [link] has been wonderful enough to believe in me so I am going to make her & me proud. However, a lot of sacrifice will have to be made. I am going to move & in with my new boyfriend [link] for a few months & then find a live work space. I really could use this break right now. So I will have to work harder than I have ever worked before. Still I have a good feeling about all of this. I also have some concerts soon & I have another chance at Bondage Ball next month so I am trying to get in shape because I will be body painted to look like an animal. I just need to tone up a bit, but it has been nice to move around. So still busy but I feel like I am finally moving in a good direction. So stay tuned all. I won't update like I want to but I would rather be making stuff than on the internet all day anyway.

I had a lovely muse for this event that happened on Saturday in Malibu at Gladstone's. My pal Strawberry was a burlesque mermaid & I was responsible for making her look ethereal. Good times & I had a blast. More pics will follow.
