Can anyone recommend a hotel in Seattle for my friend? She's coming out from NYC for a business trip, but is staying a bit longer for a personal visit. I'm not sure whether her company will be paying for her whole stay or only for the days she's here for business purposes, so probably not anything you wouldn't be willing to pay for yourself or ( Read more... )

I'm having a day. No reason, really. I love the rain, so it's not the weather. Nothing bad or negative has happened in my day. I'm just having one of those days when I don't feel like getting anything accomplished and the only beings I want to have anything to do with are my sweetheart and my kitty ( Read more... )

I don't make bread very often, but I did tonight. It's in the oven, and my whole apartment smells delicious!

There are a lot of people on my friends list who are in very happy relationships, and this makes me smile a whole bunch. I think love is a Very Important Thing without which all the colors are muted and dull and there are no sparkles. That sounds glib until you think about the fact that I have the word love tattooed on my foot, and it's there not ( Read more... )

Stayed home this weekend and followed everyone's various and sundry get-rid-of-a-cold advice. I'm still coughing and my nose is pretty uncomfortable, but otherwise I'm feeling sort of mostly semi-human today. I'm just frustrated at having had to miss so many cool events over the past four days. Very frustrated ( Read more... )

Worst timing ever. I've been feeling sort of run down off and on for the past few days, but hadn't worried too much about it. Then last night, as I was washing the fabric for the costume I was planning to make for tonight's shoot with ninjarugrat, it hit me. It doesn't qualify as a horrible cold, really, but it's hard to breathe, I'm coughing a lot, and ( Read more... )

ninjarugrat is so rock 'n' roll - she already has two little sneak peek photos for us from last night! She also asked if I can try to come back for her second session for the same project tomorrow night, as the client liked me but would like to see me in a different look. Must try to get that look together today. If I can swing it, it'll be something I ( Read more... )

Had another oh so fun shoot tonight (last night, technically, I guess), this time with ninjarugrat, who I've known for quite some time but had not previously had a chance to work with, and joelledirty, who I just met for the first time. I'm not sure if I'm free to talk about the project we were shooting for, so I'll just tell you that we got to do some acting, a bit of ( Read more... )

I'm definitely returning to the modeling world, albeit gradually. I've been talking with a few photogs, exchanging ideas and looking at schedules. I checked up on the acknowledgements on my OMP profile (#76051) for the first time since I let it lapse back to a free membership, oh, two or three months ago. I added some more images to my MM ( Read more... )

Remember when I shot with azcradotcom back in August? It was a gorgeous clear day awash in bright shimmery sunshine ... in other words, the worst type of day for outdoor shooting. Azcra is amazingly skilled with angles, though, and she got some beautiful shots despite the noonday sun. Sadly, I have big dark circles under my eyes at the best of times, and ( Read more... )
