Alright, I have a lot of updates on the life and goings-on of yours truly. Sorry things have been so hectic around here lately that U haven’t updated in like, half past forever. Heh. Hmmm…let’s see. We’ll go back to about April, that sounds about right. I managed to fulfill a dream I had once upon a time in the days when I was somewhat girly. I always wanted to be a Bond Girl, and I got to do just that!! I was one of the girls for a promotional event called “RESOUND” where I had on a lacy red latin-inspired dress. There were video cameras, photographers, wining, dining and dancing. All the girls had to come up with names for themselves for this James Bond themed event, and I decided on the name “Tango Meridian” (Because very few men know how to dance along that “fine line”—joking comment courtesy of a friend of mine). It was a lot of fun with quite a bit of networking ^_^ So yes, I managed to do something I was soooo super excited to be a part of and had the best time ever doing it. I even got to get a picture taken with the guy they had playing 007 for the evening. Pics to come at some point I’m sure!

The rest of April involved Purgatory, and 2 photoshoots. They were tons of fun and I give major kudos to Xander for finding such kickass areas to shoot—We HAVE to go back there—and to Ty for a very entertaining shoot. His wife was soo much fun to talk to. I love being able to do shoots with people I feel comfortable with; I swear, I’m going to have to eventually get off my ass to get my website up and running.

May saw the coming of what had to be one of my most engaging shoots ever. I went to New Jersey to do a weekend-long shoot with Hobbleskirt of S+S Photography. He was sooo nice, I swear! The trip itself was interesting, as the flight kept getting postponed. I was wondering if we were ever going to even leave the airport. And it was at the Charlotte Douglass Airport that I thought of something: I really sometimes wish I could temporarily be related to people…just so I could smack their kids in the back of the head and not get yelled at. These two kids were going back and forth for no reason whatsoever. I wanted to bludgeon them both. You’re fighting over who’s touching whose chair? I’ll make it easy for you: KEEP YOUR DAMNED HANDS TO YOURSELF. There we go, problem solved. So fast forward to when I FINALLY get into Jersey and meet Serge—we’re driving to get something to eat when I see the strangest sight in my interstate riding life. Smoke. Black, billowy smoke….and then flames. Very high… flamey flames. I blink and stare. There was a car on fire on the interstate going in the opposite direction we were going. Serge looked at me as I was sitting there with my mouth agape and point and says : what, you’ve never seen that before? I kind of blinked and replied “No, we really don’t have flaming cars on the interstate that much in North Carolina” It was SO weird! It’s like “Hi, welcome to Jersey; here’s your flame-engulfed car for your viewing pleasure.” In retrospect, I would have taken pictures or a video of it. The shoot was more fun than I’d had in a very long time: TONS of outfits, and even a little rope suspension ^_^ I hope I can make it up there and try that again. It was his 1st suspension, and I’m glad I was a part of it ^_^. After the weekend of photo-shooty-goodness, Serge dropped me off at Pet’s house (very dear and close friend of mine). We went for a walk and I got to take pictures of the Empire State Building—he lives right across the river from Manhattan. It was awesome. I can’t wait to go back so I can actually get into New York to see it.

I’m now gearing up for a photographer’s workshop—where I’ll be one of the models—and for the next Purgatory, and I have to say, I’m excited as all hell about this one. I’ve got a lot invested in it, considering I suggested the theme, requested to be on the flyer for it, and will be doing a show. I think anyone and everyone who can make it to Charlotte on the 14th should definitely go! http://singlecell.us to get the info on it all. Much fun and insanity shall ensue!
