Tampa in review...

Yet another airport blog! Yay!

I'm watching the sun come up at Gate 10, Terminal T. I'm headed for L.A. and then off to San Francisco for a few days. The whole reason for my trip is to shoot for a company called Brazzers, however, because the other girl decided to reschedule, the shoot was canceled. Somehow, I knew this would happen. Although I don't mind doing g/g, this has made me realize that I cannot do it and travel into the city. Thank god I didn't get tested! I would've been out another $150 like last month and the month before. I love that the industry is regulated, but if I'm not going to use the test, it's really frustrating to HAVE it done, spend the money, and not use it at all. So for now, I'm keeping the g/g mostly exclusive to my site, which I think my members will appreciate!

Tampa went well! Traveling with Isobel is great because we know to give each other space, but it's nice to have company with someone and split travel expenses. We stayed with her friend Joe, which ended up not working out as planned, and we were rescued by a nice photography couple for the last two days of our trip!

Usually when I'm at the beach, I barely get to go once, but in between shoots, or in the evening, Isobel and I tried to walk along the beach at least every other day! Photos on the way! We also made twitter blogs to go with them! :D

I decided that LA over the summer as a trial run isn't in the cards right now. I'd rather travel to other parts of the country that I haven't really spent much time working in.... so I'm excited! I know LA is my future, and there isn't any avoiding it, but for now, I think I want to spend a little more time on the road and move when it's the best time.

Isobel and I went back to Atlanta instead of Miami, which is a totally dead market... apparently... and I made the most money this week than I ever have in the city! Damn, when did all this paying work happen? Best part is, they're almost all websites, so that's regular work! :D Huzzah!

Now my flight is boarding....so my nap will soon begin! Til next time!

LA fever!

So, it would seem that everyone is moving to LA all of a sudden.... I guess it's safe to say that Paris Kennedy started a trend!

My thoughts are that maybe I'll only go out there for late May through mid August, work as much as I can, and come back home. That would be sensible. That way, I can go to college close to home and still be able to work in LA during the summer. Yea right. The second I get out there, I know I'm going to love it and never want to leave. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there. The summer will offer a lot of wisdom to me, I'm guessing. I'm ready to go, but I'm going to miss the boy like crazy, more than I realize I'm guessing, so when it comes down to the actual leaving part, I don't know if I'll get there...or if I want to... I do like the idea of only having to travel once a month, so that would really help!

Right now, I'm back from my last LA trip, and because I was traveling in, I lost a lot of booking due to reschedules beyond the dates I was there. Fuckers. I even extended my trip, but, you can't save a sinking ship, and I should have known at the start.

I was dreading AdultCon, and it turned out to be really awesome in the end! So I will be back in October! I met some really cool fans, sold some stuff, and chatted with Aria Giovanni about shooting some content together, which would be totally awesome!

On a funny side note, I've been blogging mostly to myself, and anyone who wants to cyber stalk my naked adventures. I never really thought people actually read this, until the other day I received some "hate" comments to my blog, which naturally I'm not going to post, but they made me giggle. The fake profile commented on how it's obvious I hate my job, and how I see the people that pay me and pay for my site as all perverts and how I think I'm better than them, ungratefull, and yadda yadda yadda... It was hilarious!

Anyway, I'm blogging this for everyone to read...even you "Ben", I absolutely love working with photographers as long as they're respectful, no matter what the job is, or skill level. I also LOVE communicating with my fans whether it's on my website or other social networking sites, as long as they're polite! I joke and call them perverts, but it's only because I'm the biggest pervert of all! No one has ever been offended, and I think it's safe to say that there is a little pervert in us all!

Oddly enough, I also recieved a friend request from someone I went to high school with on Facebook, who has a habit of sending me hate mail to my myspace page....which naturally makes me think it was an accident, since I approved it and we're not longer listed as friends...but I have my myspace and facebook as a way to stay in touch with friends online, and I really don't think my profile is that interesting...nor my blog for that manner, so it makes me chuckle to myself that maybe some people are actually reading what's going on in my life. So now I must blog more for your entertainment!

My buddy John, who is on my blog list *check him out: John and Japan*, was blogging about wanting more traffic and readers. I don't even know how to tell how many reads I've had....so maybe when I figure that out, I'll be able to help you John...but seriously, I am curious how many reads this little blog gets! My buddy Addie had someone comment on her blog about the current weather in Atlanta enough to warrent another blog about it....and me....I ramble about bitchy people from highschool and a fantom commenter who is my brief entertainment in the day.

Ok this blog officially sucks now. I'm going to go try and figure out how to tell how many reads this is getting, and in the mean time....you can look my ass with the promise that the next one will be better....

hugs*
