I'm not deleting because who know what the future may hold... but i am going away. Most likely for good.
You've all been the most wonderful friends and it breaks my heart to have to walk away.
But real life is demanding that i walk away from all play and focus entirely on solving what has become a critical crisis in my world.
The best in life to all of you...
~rubbing the tears from my face and trying to give y'all a brave smile~
love ya

A little humorous truth
Being a Woman is HARD Work!Lakota getting ready for a formal party last Friday:
1. shower, shave legs, shampoo, conditioning
2. pre-gel wet hair
3. pull out all formal dresses and matching shoes and try them all on then dig into the back of the closet to see if you missed anything really cool because you remember buying a black beaded fringe top that might be better than anything thrown across the bed
4. pick final four choices and try them all on again to make sure with the shoes
5. pick out lingerie that matches the cut of the dress and thigh highs... silk or lace? silk...no lace... no silk...
6. try on final choice one more time to make sure and then set it to the side
7. lotion body
8. paint fingernails and toenails in color that offsets the black outfit just right - not too pink, not slut red for a formal event
9. wait for it to dry and check emails, trying not to smudge the polish
10. dig thru five tons of makeup to find the right shades of lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush, foundation and mascara to match the outfit.
11. apply makeup
12. blowdry and style hair using ozone destroying amounts of spray to hold it in place
13. put on the lingerie
14. pull on the stockings
15. rip the stockings
16. find a new pair and put those on
17. look at the clock and realize you're running behind but that's okay because you can NOT show up early
18. carefully pull on the formal skirt and beaded top and slip on the black heels
19. check it out in the mirror and realize it's what you wore two parties ago
20. panick and pull clothes off and grab the nearest ballgown and put it on
21. check it out in the mirror...ohhh - that looks pretty damn good, turning around and peering at ass in mirror to make sure it doesn't look bigger than it should
22. grab clutch purse and throw in lipstick, keys, power, drivers license and cash
23. almost twist ankle racing to the door (who invented heels by the way?)
24. hop into the car and drive ten miles over the speed limit hoping there aren't any police waiting to grab you because now you're going to be unfashionably late.
25. stroll into the party look calm and not like you just expended ridiculous amounts of energy and effort
:D

I'm here... really
I've spared you all the moodiness of my recent sucky attitude - you may thank me by ALL returning, giving me hugz and kisses and letting me feel the lurv. :D
No really, I've been a for shit blogger and I'm sorry... line for spanking me forms right over there, stage left... or is that stage right?
Gonna do better and make sure i hop around again on a regular basis. Even if i have nothing of substance to post here, i can at least make a nuisance of myself at your places. Oh wait - i never had anything of substance posted here... what was i worried about?
I have been going out and hanging with friends more which is good. Went to a gala last weekend all dressed in formal wear and that ended up being fun. Tonight I'm going to listen to some local bands at a special "invite only" event (whatever THAT means - are they trying to keep the riff-raff out? If so, how did i get an invite? :P)
Working on art and writing when i'm not working, which is a good thing. I'm toying with taking my visual art in a new direction. That is actually a lot scarier than you can imagine. Once you develop a certain "artist identity" changing directions can be disasterous.
Anyway - here's a pretty visual for Mikey (no this is NOT my boob but you can pretend it is if you want) just a gorgeous photo i found that made me think of him. :D

Oh and something yum for the ladies too.

creatively disconnected
Apologies for being so quiet the past several days. I've been feeling out of sorts, uninspired and creatively dead. I couldn't even come up with entertaining conversation. That is so not like me.
A friend told me it's probably the psychological/emotional drop from being so insanely busy. He's probably right.
It may also be due to realizing that after busting ass for several months, I have nothing to really show for it. The cost of everything shot up so high, and several of my photography clients have come to me saying their "cash flow" sucks, so now my bank account is more strapped than before I went thru the madness. The last one that called me on monday to complain about "cash flow" got this response: "Yes, I know exactly what you mean because your cash flow problem is giving me a cash flow problem." Asshat. I left that last part off. I would like to get paid someday. ~sigh~
i did do a pretty cool drawing... it was more an exercise than anything truly creative though.

Showing my Ass... no really... SHOWING MY ASS!
Last night I had another photoshoot - a three hour event in a location with two floors, packed with hundreds and hundreds (and freaking hundreds) of people. It's always a grueling shoot, trying to get the necessary photos for the client in a finite amount of time... and it's always HOT - racing around with my photo-assistant scrambling behind me. To help with the heat factor I decided to dress in a gauzy floor-length gypsy skirt and camisole to help keep me cool.
Toward the end of the evening I let my assistant go since I was nearly done and the poor darling was exhausted from chasing me all over the place. I got on the escalator to ride it down to the first floor to catch a few more photos of the bands down there and... the back of my skirt got sucked into the escalator step. It yanked the back of my skirt down past my ass, baring my butt to everyone. Why oh why did i wear a thong last night instead of good girl panties? >_<
I ripped the skirt free and hauled the elastic waist back up over my ass, juggling my camera and camera bag and yelling very unlady-like words. Something akin to M**ther-F**king-Sh*t-Son of a B*tch! Yeah... those were the words as I recall. Nicely professional.
The lady on the escalator behind me was laughing and said "If I'd had my cellphone camera out I could have made a fortune with that shot!"
Bitch.
Ruined a perfectly good skirt too. ~sulking~
Note to self: do not wear long skirts on photoshoots.
And burn my thongs.

Getting My Groove Back
First off, i had to put up a new post immediately so i could bump that ANNOYING jelly belly stripper down. I wanted to cover my eyes everytime I came back to my own blog. But it was worth it - celebrating Woozie's birthday was a big deal and something I had planned for most of the year. Glad I slid out of the nightmare in time to throw him a party. :D
Still dealing with post project catchup and scrambling to dodge bullets with tasks that were bumped and now need attention - but it'z all good. The huge pressure is off for the most part. Have two of the B&W&Red series prints in a show: this one is my fave and had people oohing and ahhing at the opening. I'm such a shoe 'ho. Okay - off to work but i'll be back by tonight and run by some more blogs. ~muwahh!~

Happy Birthday to Woozie!
What birthday party would be complete without one of these.... just for you Wooze!


And if you didn't really like that one, well, here's another for you...
Free Male Stripper
What - that didn't get your Birthday Happy on? How about the origins of breakdancing by the Russians? heeheeee.
More goodieness (badiness?) for Woozala! Adding new stuff to top of the post... more to come... oh yes indeed.


Since last December I've had this auspicious day marked on my calendar. It's not just any birthday - it's Woozala's 18th birthday.
It'z about time the little perv turned legal. :D
Truly, anyone who has become friends with the wickedly precocious Wooze completely and totally adores him. So today is all about celebrating his birthday and annoying the shit out of him.
:D Please run over and wish him happy birthday... or you might wanna leave him a message here. He has a traumatizing picture posted that melts the eyeballs. Since he's now legal naughty messages are now allowed. LOL!
Happy birthday sweetie - thanks for all the porn links and edumacating me. ~snickering~
Now what would Woozie like on his birthday sandwich?
Addendum... naughty video for your birthday Wooze:

Playing Blog Catchup
I'm so far behind on reading blogs that i'll probably never be able to catch up on back readings - if there was something in particular you think would amuse or interest me that you've posted in the past 2 months put a link here please. I'm going to attack the catchup by visiting those of you first who left notes in my absence and made me feel the lurv. You have no idea how much i appreciate that. I'll think of some way to personally thank each and every one of you. ~naughty smile~ Suggestions are welcomed.... encouraged even. ~grin!~
Let's see.... a few of the recent highlights...
I had a total "Oh Shit" moment last weekend when i socked a Police Officer in the stomach. As soon as I did it I remembered that you aren't supposed to do that even goofing around - touching an officer while he's on duty can get you handcuffed and thrown up against the patrol car. Hmmmm.... NO, really, I didn't do it for that reason! He was teasing me. Fortunately the officer is a long time acquaintance that knows me from my photoshoots so he just laughed, especially when my eyes got HUGE and I started patting his tummy, apologizing. "Please don't arrest me Mr. Officer - I waz just playing!" LOL! I'm such a 'tard sometimes.
Kali readers will remember the visit from the Diva earlier this year. She came back for an unexpected, unanticipated and really sucky-timed visit a few weeks ago. Right in the middle of the madness and my presence was requested for her birthday celebration. Oye. I had to race over to meet with her and her family and friends (with camera of course) at a fancy restaurant right after i finished a grueling photoshoot in skin-melting heat. I'm being kind when i say i didn't look my best. Somewhat like a melted puddle of Kota and not in that fun after glow way neither.
Dinner with her was nice as always and they gave her framed pictures from the last shoot i'd done of her in the spring. That made me preen in all my sweaty, limp-haired glory.
Lakota Princess readers may recall the really hot waiter I met last January that i was all drooly over back then... I saw him that same night and he pulled me aside so we chatted for awhile. (Surprising since I really did look like a mess.) He asked me out but I was surprised to discover that even though he was still total eyecandy, he just didn't interest me...not in the slightest. No little sparklies inside from his hot smoldering latino looks. Zip. Nada. Either I'm broke from overworking or my tastes have changed. ~frowning in concern~
It can't be a broken libido because trust me - my B.O.B. can attest to all parts and pieces are still functioning quite normally... though he didn't get the usual number of workouts during the last two months. It's not a myth - there really is a such thing as being too tired. Who knew. :D
Okay - enough babble chatter for the moment.... time to run around to some of your blogs and pounce. Mmmmm..... can't wait!

ALMOST FREEEEEEE!!!!!!
Tomorrow night my internship in hell comes to an end. There is still the followup work and the catchup work but nothing like what i have been busting my ass doing. Coming back just in time to celebrate Woozie's long awaited birthday. (No way did i forget Wooze! I have a count down calendar to the date on my computer! LOL!) Birthday wahoo coming up!
So like is anyone still popping by here? I see that Josh, Woozala, Mr. Wit, Cap'n, Rev and VI have.... let me know if there is still anyone reading this blog so i know whether or not to come back to it or close it down and just write off the writer blog.
I've missed you all. Here's a kiss for you.

Special Treat!!!!
Still in working, working, working mode. i am getting very sick of it. Especially with the rollercoaster aspects, stress, tension and all that mess that goes with high pressure turnarounds.
My friend Larry Bowden-Perfect, who is a model in the UK just sent me a link to a bondage spot he did on tv in England. Is lots of fun to watch! Larry is the hottie with the long hair. (He's also a very sweet guy with a gorgeous little girl.)
Anyway - enjoy! I did. ~fanning self~
They don't run spots like THIS on tv in the U.S.
Oh and sorry - i can't imbed it, you have to go to the models' website to view.

Miss all of you and if i get off work early enough tonight I'll be responding to comments on last post. You guys crack me up.

Valentino Michael Performing
Another easy post - the delightfully talented dancer Valentino Michael sent me this link of his dance company performing "the underground dance class company"- i'm pretty sure that's him in the stripped shirt. And dayum, can these dancers move. The MC Hammer sequence had me laughing hysterically. Enjoy!

First Time For Everything
As you long time readers know i hate memes. I have never swiped a meme nor have i ever let a meme i've been slapped with go by unscathed from my particular brand of fuckitupedness. Until now. Time being nonexistent i realized this one would take me all of five minutes to do plus i ADORE books. LURV them. Collect them. Sometimes even drool on them. So I stole this from Gaddy who is also suffering through an nth level of work purgatory.
1) Bold those books you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE. (since i can't fucking find an underline feature in blogger - i guess i AM changing the meme a bit and making the books i love RED)

Sorry for missing in action - I'm all tied up
I'll be doing drive-bys - work is 15 hour days again. i'll probably use what little free minutes i can grab here and there to pop by and wave at y'all. hoping to get a new post up this weekend for you though. Know that I'm thinking of you and missing you though. ~big smoochy kisses~And no(!) i'm not spilling the delish details of my hot date last weekend. Let's just say it makes the insanity of this current madness endurable. ~wicked, very pleased grin~

I've been soooo bad....
i've been so bad that i'm certain i deserve a spanking. Any takers? One condition. I get to spank you back... eventually.
Work is gearing up again... August kicks off the busiest season of the year and usually lasts until October, then lulls for a few weeks (okay, sometimes it skips the lull but i remain optimistic) and kicks back in until the holiday season is over. I'm tired just looking at madness to come. But hey - at least i have work, right?
I hope everyone had a great weekend! While I may have had to work... parts of mine were just divine. :)

Three posts in one day - but you GOTTA hear this
Normally I don't post music here - i dump it over at the Diaries, but since i just loaded one over there today and really want y'all to hear this - you're getting a special treat. Some related trivia: a very close RL friend of mine (he's gay, so guys don't get your panties in a twist) is on tour in Asia with a broadway musical (yeah, i'z bragging on him - he's THAT good). Anyway - suffice to say when he sends me music vids to watch, i always drop whatever i'm doing and comply. He sent this a few minutes ago and omg! are these guys freaking incredible. The ending is pretty funny too. Enjoy... dayum - these doods can sing. Craig Lewis - Brady Bunch.
It's a Barbi-Q!!!!
Some of you may recall my disdain of barbies from the "Diaries." Well, except of course for one kickass native american rebel barbie. A friend just called me and pointed me to this link which has several pages visually documenting a rather festive event. Oh man did i laugh my ass off. I haz evil, twisted sense of humor. Here's a sneak peek...






Something for the ladies
I got these in an email yesterday. They ALMOST bumped Mikey's post. While these are wonderfully funny, yeah, I'd lurv to see a man modeling something like this for me. Hey, creative fashion isn't just for women ya know. So how many of you guys would be daring enough to model one of these for me? Yeah, that's what I thought. :P

He's a breast man
Mikey the Spaz is definitely a boob guy. Loves him some breasts. He's beside himself with joy because several women are posting some boobage for him. So he's asked me to as well. BUT. Since I do like to be somewhat unpredictable, i'm not posting exactly what i suspect Mikey-darling expected. It meets his request of course... but I'm showing off a pretty bra. LOL! Awww come on Mikey - no pouting. You said you wanted cleavage...

I Hatez Them
sonofabitch cellphone providers that manufacture forshit equipment then laugh at you when it breaks less than two months after you buy it. i hatez them. i'm so mad i'm shoving their fucking contract up their slimey asses and paying more to take my account elsewhere... where i will no doubt have to bend over and take it up mine again in a few months. i hatez them all.


Facebook = Funny
I've been building my author network on facebook, which is turning out to be a pretty interesting tool. It's letting me gather together old friends and new, and a few... well, unexpected ones as well. Such as Johnny Depp. Isn't that a hoot? Pffft - I don't care if it is really him or not - it tickled me silly this morning to see him as a "friend."
It's a fabulous tool for promotion I've discovered. One of my longtime friends has released a book today and i was able to do a shout out in one keystroke without depending on everyone i knew to pop by my writing blog and read about it. Sweet.
It also let's me auto-track updates at organizations like writing conventions, book sellers, authors i know - stuff like that. For someone with little (read that as NONE) time management skills, it's HUGE!
Plus i get to attack peoples with my werewolf.
Life is good.
Oh and quickie note regarding comment left yesterday - apparently there may be some confusion regarding my possibly being another blogger, BB or LA. Umm. No. Sorry.
(We sound nothing alike in my opinion... well, we're both smartasses.)
I have this blog, the pretty much dead "Diaries," and my new writing blog/Facebook. That's it.
But we are friends. And do have a penchant for stirring up ALL kinds of hell when let loose together. Hope no one is too disappointed. :P

YES!!! Fuck yeah!
Judge returns gray wolf to endangered-species listA federal judge in Montana has restored protection to gray wolves in Northern Rockies. They were taken off the endangered-species list March 28 after federal officials said the species — once hunted, poisoned or trapped to the verge of extinction — was "thriving."
The order, by U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy, is expected to halt public hunts being planned by officials in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.
The National Resources Defense Council claims that 106 gray wolves have been killed in those states in the 118 days since being removed from the list. An estimated 2,000 wolves now live in the Northern Rockies after a decade-long restoration effort. - Posted by Michael Winter at 07:49 PM/ET, July 18, 2008
Someone had mentioned hearing about the relisting at the writers' meeting today and i had to run and look it up to see if the good news was true. I'm a very happy Lakota right now.
To highlight the results of removing them from the endangered list, i found this article by Derek Goldman where he comments:
"It’s been about three months since wolves in the Northern Rockies were removed from the protection of the Endangered Species Act. To date, at least 20 wolves have been reported killed in Wyoming, where they may legally be shot on sight. That’s an average of one wolf killed every four and half days. Five of these wolves were shot in Wyoming during the first weekend after delisting, with local bloggers bragging about their success:
"Word on the street from the town of Cora is they had a hell of a fine weekend wolf hunting -- a town wolf hunt," and "I can speak first hand to the hunting of the wolves. I held two of the dead wolves killed this weekend. I’m one of the "Red Neck Hunters" and proud of it.”
During the first weekend after wolves were delisted, the Casper Star Tribune reported that "large numbers of hunters reportedly prowled the state’s newly designated wolf predator area in Sublette County.” An outfitter boasted he’d hoped to shoot 10 wolves himself.
These wolves weren’t killed by wildlife managers because they’d been eating cows or sheep. They were mostly shot by people for “sport,” their only crime was that of, well, being a wolf. "

So fuck yeah, i'm glad they're protected once more from redneck assholes eager for a little sportin' slaughter.
