A View of the Greats!!

So last month there was an ISO Meet Up in Portland at a very cute little wine bar!!

And I'm so sorry its taken me this long to get around to putting up a blog about it.....

But now the time is upon us!!

Check out the images taken of me!

And check out the links bellow of the wonderful photographers who took them!

This image was taken by J. Robert Williams

And I was trying to channel Coco Rocha, one of my model idols!!

J. Robert Williams is one of my favorite local photographers!! 

But recently he has been having some health issues and unable to shoot.....

We're hoping he gets back on his feet soon!!

And to help we have an event in town as well as a donation page!!

This next image is by a lovely girl who rode up with me and Kassie to the event!!

She goes by Polly Irungu Photography!

I love this picture even if it makes me look a little like a hipster <3!!

Check out and like her page though!!

I'm sure it would make her day!!

I have to say I love how this particular image made the tank mostly opaque!!

As it was very very see through!!

This is the first time I've worked with John Hayes Photography!!

And not only do I like the product but him and his wife are rather nice in person!!

Something I find to be essential!!

Check out their website.....

Last.....but not least!

(Is that statement overused yet?)

Is an image by Tinker's Realm!

She's the only one so far that has caught me in my secondary outfit!

Check her out!! She's wonderful!!

And as an after thought......

I kind of tend to hang back when I go to the Meet Ups to shoot..........

Because I'm shy or not super outgoing.....

I don't really know why

But I do know that from now on I'm going to try a little harder to shoot with more people!!

And to be a little more outgoing!!

Also if you were more interested in the fashion from the shoots check out my style blog:

Activism! Prize Shoot Today

So this morning I shot for the Activism! Prize on Zivity. I woke up at like 8:30 am (half an hour late) to jump in the shower and get ready for my shoot!! Well Kassi showed up as I'm wallpapering my kitchen in 80's porn half ready for the shoot......so I'm gonna back up real quick here because I'm sure none of this makes any sense.

So first off Zivity has prizes where you can win money by putting up a set into the prize and being picked or having the most votes/comments. And the Activism! Prize is just like it sounds. You do a set about something your super passionate about. Now for me that would be gay/lesbian/bisexual rights but I could not for the life of me figure out a way to portray this without a sign and I did not want a sign in my set.....at all!!

Then it came to me.....I have a stack of porn that I found while digging through newspaper drop boxes for coupons!! I shall wallpaper the walls in my kitchen (nice small space by the door) and use it as a background. Just a girl and her porn......80's porn I might add. Check out the transformation:

Here is what it looks like before!!!

And this is after the 80's porn exploded!!

Now after wallpapering this small area with lots and lots of porn the next thought was what can I wear for this. And as I just couldn't come up with anything that screams I'm for LGBT rights I went with a classic......cute little school girl!!

Here is the whole outfit......don't mind the mess lol

And just an up close picture of the hair and make-up....not to mention cute bow I made!!

So there is the stage and the look for my activism shoot.....me and Kassi had a blast. You can find her on Zivity as well as a photographer and a model. And can't wait to get some of the images back to show you what we accomplished today!!

And as for other goals - I wore this outfit out of the house today minus the heels.....I hate walking in heels!!

Thanx for reading and much love <3 <3

PS if anyone would like a free month pass to Zivity please comment with your e-mail so I can contact you!!

To Be Published.......Is Amazing (fist publication)

I have been talking about this for awhile for those of you that are friends with me on Facebook and if not I might of mentioned it somewhere......either way I'm mentioning it now.......I've been published!!!!

Now Giuseppina Magazine (check em out here) is on their seventh issue and this happens to also be their Gay Pride Issue. So I thought it would be an awesome time to put into effect an idea of mine about the day of silence.  Basically it was a lingerie shoot with six girls based on the fact that so many gay or lesbians are forced to keep quite about their sexuality.......and by the time we were done it ended up showing two other things. First that if all these girls were to say they were gay then you can see how different we all are in appearance as well as personality and background. And second that if they all aren't how can you tell which of us is?

Now I was all hopes that we would be published. And when I was told that I was being published I was way excited but I did have to wait for it to be published before showing any of the images. And now I'm just waiting for the cash to order myself a print copy. Now that is a little weird but they are an independant and small magazine just now starting so I didn't expect them to be able to send everyone a print copy.......anyway enjoy ^.^

Thanks as always for reading......^.^

Photoshoot: Join the Dark Side

So I recently had a shoot with Bob Williams (http://jrobertwilliams.com/) in this old abandoned house. Now technically (key word here) we didn't have permission to be there......but they were gonna tear it down anyway so we figured it would be awesome to just snap a few pictures there. And we got some great images at that ^.^ Not to mention this was my first time working with Bob and he's one of my new favorite photographers. He's super easy to talk to and easy to work with ^.^

Now the hair and make-up was all me ^.^ I just simply teased the hair out and it got huge. With the make-up I did a simple smoky eye and a very red lip. Though I kinda cheated on the lip. I couldn't find my red lip gloss so I use some clear gloss and a high pigmented blush from Sephora to get them that red........

I hope you enjoy.......I've come to love these images......welcome to the dark side ^.^

Now having seen the great images ya gotta say that the dark side is appealing. And that that picture I uploaded in my shopping blog post didn't do that outfit any justice ^.^ The first and second images would be pictures of that outfit.......all second hand. With the exception of the shoes and thigh highs which I got at Hot Topic. And the second outfit is all hot topic. But most of it is like......four years old or older ^.^  Meaning take care of your clothes......

Anyway, thanx as always for reading........
