Intellectual Property and Theft: A Rant
Patron- a person chosen, named, or honored as a special guardian, protector, or supporter.A Patron holds a responsibility to help protect the art of creator they support. Patreon....is a place for creators to interact with their PATRONS. It isn't just a fun name. The whole fucking name of this website is derived from the concept of patronage. Look it up. So it boggles my mind when people get on this platform, MY safe space to share my art, and steal that same art. Again, to my true Patrons, ...
Road Dog Diaries
Back on the road for a minute. Headed back to the Quad Cities for a quick trip. It’s early, it’s written all over my hidden face.Just a few more hours till family hugs then off to the dentist. 🦷 what are your plans today?Wish me luck!
Quick friendly reminder
I just wanted to thank all of the new subscribers for supporting my art form. Your support ensures that I can continue to make progress in my field of study and I deeply appreciate you! While 99.9% of you are glorious wonderful human beings who are caring, thoughtful and compassionate.I have noticed that with the recent influx of patrons, there are some, a few, who are fond of demeaning degrading and humiliating. I’m just going to place this here as a reminder that I left social media so that ...
A fun little bath time set
💗🤗💗I’ve been holding on to these incredible, early 1900, ocean blue Czech glass earrings for years. They were found in a warehouse in LA along with an entire warehouse full of antique Czech glass that was no doubt intended for Hollywood studios. I have sold the breastplate/bib necklaces from this collection years ago and deeply regret it. I wish I had all of those pieces still but, sometimes taxes are more important… I almost forgot about these earrings until I stumbled across them ...
Last day home
Well, today is my last day home before I head back to the quad cities for a few days. Just a couple quick doctors appointments and then I turn around and come back to the island for a week before I head to Nashville to work. Since I was a little girl I had a strange fatty tumor inside my cheek. Time for it to come out and be biopsied so that I can stop thinking about it. It will take no time at all but the truly tragic part is that I chipped my tooth so when I get the other thing taken care of I...
Hispanic Heritage Month: Bella Sin
As important as stripping history is, so too is the present and the future. One artist in particular who marries the past and the present so well is Bella Sin. They just received the Cleveland LGBT+ Arts and Culture Award and does incredible work in activism and education, particularly with regard to Hispanic and Latin culture and history. I have learned so much from them and you will too. Check out their website and Instagram, linked below. Website: http://www.bellasincle.com/Instagram: https:/...
Good morning beautiful people!
In my research on cheetahs for my upcoming performance at Detroit Dirty Show in February, I came across this great video on cheetahs and it answered so many questions. https://youtu.be/ptGDodHVurQIn addition this video myth busted a few details about cheetahs. I always heard they were strong but fragile, easy to overheat in a chase. Bad data can cause so much misinformation. I have to make a progress video today for my choreographer Jo Weldon (pictured above) She literally wrote the book on leop...
Today was…
Disappointing and discouraging and I survived anyhow. I thrived anyhow. Today started with oversleeping for my morning shoot then In my afternoon shoot only 13 of the 500+ photos we took actually made the cut. I found out some rather disturbing news. A massive storm moved in, the air quality is incredibly poor and on and on and on….On the up side, I woke up next to the love of my life, ate well, had a day full of love and support, I can pay my bills and I’m going to bed with electricity and ...

RISING
The meat of yesterday’s underwater form study. The water was quite dense yesterday but there were lots of little creatures to explore. Even though the water wasn’t very clear we still picked up a few great little shots for my form study. Why so many form studies? Time will tell!
FULL MOON RISING
Fun moments for you during our underwater form study.

We took this set as a simple underwater form study. Thought we would share.🏝

What does it mean to be a modern day witch? Are black cats and pointy hats a necessary addition? No. But I do have both and regularly use them in my rituals.The trick to a good spell is setting your intention.What do you want your spell to achieve? Who do you want to affect? Be as specific as possible in your intentions. Try not to include too many intentions. Keep it simple sweetie.Be clear, concise and organized in your thoughts.It’s important to understand that the universe recycles everyth...
Stripping History: Tongolele
Hispanic Heritage Month ends on October 15th, so I'm moving right along and talking today about Tongolele. She was born Yolanda Montes on January 3rd, 1932 in Spokane, WA. Her father was Spanish and her mother was Swedish. Her maternal grandmother was Tahitian. This earned her the nickname, "The Queen of the Tahitian Dances." She moved to Mexico in 1947 and began her dancing career. While not technically a "burlesque" dancer, because she didn't do striptease, she was a ve...

A little honey jar love spell for you
“The honey jar spell traces back to ancient times. The witches of yesteryear used honey as part of their love spells, and modern ones are no different. The idea behind using honey is that something so sweet generates sweetness and affection between two people. The honey jar spell is one of the most common love spells people use to improve their connection with others. These love spells are also used to bolster an existing relationship and bring people closer together. How To Cast A Honey Jar S...

I’m so excited to share with you some old footage that I came across with my niece Alaina. She sent it to me to post up to Patreon. Thank you Alaina! This Song is Gutter Queen by Soda Gardocki and Pup on drums, a few years back. She did send me quite a few more video clips. Would you like to see them? Would you like to hear more about the show? I don’t think I’ve ever really talked a whole bunch about this show but it was one that was very dear to my heart because it was back home, in Illi...
