"I'm looking forward to seeing you soon! And in case you're wondering - no. I'm not one of those fool photographers that fell in love with you when I met you or saw your photos or whatever..... You, my friend, have a powerful Cult of Personality about you. And I chose to drink the Kool-Aid. Big difference.
Been asked quite a few times why my traveling schedule was detouring me from Chicago... to Omaha ... to Kansas City.. and then back home - The answer to that is art!
Middle America Kansas since I started modeling in 2005. It took three years, but Hell Yes! I got to shoot with Stephen friggin Melvin.... and he was all that and the bag of Doritos! Shot the Mustang in a cornfield - all leopard printed out - in the downpour of a rain storm!
One of the nice Colombian photographers, booked us a room at the ancient Wetter-Shaw Manor, which is now operating as a Bed and Breakfast - This plantation home has been traced all the way back to 1819. While it is still in great shape, after much reconstruction - you can only imagine what it must have looked like during the plantation-times -Pillars, balconies, giant hanging tress, old fireplaces. The house was littered with original oil paintings from the 1900's...
There was a tornado the day that I arrived in Minneapolis - the front of the storm was fascinating.... never seen anything like it before. It was just this wall of clouds..... All these colors, static, electricity dancing in the air over my head.... Kept worrying that the storm would lift the mustang off the pavement and drop in somewhere in distant Kansas - Which is cool, I guess.... I am working there in a few weeks....
out for the weekend. It was all so in-the-moment. We got a hotel in downtown Minneapolis, right near everything. Turns out we were visiting during the weekend of Bastille Day, a French celebration which is held in respect to the storming of the Bastille back in 1789 - so Minneapolis was just a big party. First night we went out to celebrate Tracy's first day o
n the roadtrip. Went to Brit's Pub - where they have lawn bowling on the rooftop.... Jason bought us T-shirts, so we all matched like tourists from NY, Manitoba, and Tucson..... ha. Kind of bar hopped from there.... the night was madness..... between the three of us, we vaguely remember getting back to the hotel - kind of.... : ) Next night we took it easy, much more laid back and hang out-ish..... Brit's 
was having a showing of the Moulin Rouge on their bowling green. Jason got out a blanket from his truck and we all sprawled on the lawn, watching the movie being projected onto our hotel. Surround sound is great. Got to cuddle up, on a rooftop, with two awesome people, and watch one of my favorite movies.....what is possibly better than that? Jason is a really beautiful person to be around - I already miss him a lot.... it really sucked packing up to leave on Monday morning.... I would pack and then be kissing him, pack and then pin him on the couch.... and then, eventually an hour later, I was still stalling - not wanting to leave. Oh well - leave I had to....
Spent most of Monday getting plastered... no, not like that. Spent most of the day getting lifecasted, somewhere in a little farmhouse out in WI. It was a really long day being covered in alginate and dentistry products. He casted my torso, butt and bust.... and let me tell you, Tracy thinks my butt cast is the best of his other pieces, it was a very nice cast indeed. We ended the day in a little Victorian bed and breakfast outside of Madison. Tracy and I were the only guests at the house, and the woman who owned the place was living in the carriage house in the back. So we ran around the house late last night, taking scandalous photos all over the place.... was a lot of fun - I think we got Tracy some pretty fabulous photos - I wish my camera was a bit fancier so I could do the girl some justice....
Now we are in Milwaukee. Just shot with this 1931 hotrod car in a park about an hour ago. The car was gorgeous.... nothing like being topless in a beautiful vehicle to get your day rolling, you know? Tonight we are headed to TH's place..... Really excited to see him/shoot with him/steal all his tomatoes again..... the man is not human when it comes to photography. If we come anywhere near what was created last time - my life will have been completed.... not once, but twice. : )
Normally I do not talk about my sex life on here. It just seems like it nobody's business.... but this story is just too good.... So I am driving, somewhere on the eighth hour behind the wheel, listening to bad country, it is getting dark. Decide to pull over for the night, find a motel, ask the guy behind the counter.... "Any places open that might still serve some dinner?" He mentions that there is a bar up the road, "Not sure if they have food after 9pm, though." Walk into the place and it is full of Jersey kids. Kensington State College and Horse farms... not sure what that was all about. Made some quick friends. As the place was closing up, some locals asked if I wanted to come back to their place to continue the party. I could crash on the couch.... Figure what the hell? Not working for a few more days..
Oh Hot tubs. So everyone is eventually naked. Stayed up until 6am with this Irish looking guy, just talking and watching the sun come up. Crashed on the couch as mentioned, woke up to this pretty half naked man named Jason asking me if I wanted to sleep in his bedroom... woke up with him all cuddled up around me. And I kissed him, he kissed me back and then he took the day off from work..... Sober, wonderful, so unexpected. It felt much less like a one-night stand and much more like a passionate relationship for a day. He made breakfast and we hung out in bed till the afternoon.... Jason is exactly the type of guy that I normally date. Leaving was hard for both of us ... Friggin Manitoba.... You find a guy you like, and they live in another country.... 
.....Now I am in Fargo, North Dakota. And WOW... Those US Customs guys are harsh.... they ripped (literally ripped) my car apart. In Canada they just ruffled through my things, in the US - they put in me a waiting room while I watched them tear though my stuff. They did not put my clothes back in my suitcases, they emptied out all my bags, my computer stuff, my wardrobe, the heels - you name it - all into one big pile in my car. They cut the mustang seats open. They took the bumper off my car. It was horrifying.... when I got
back into the front seat, there was barely room to drive. They made sure to leave my sex toys right on top of the pile.
Falling behind.... Where did I leave off last? I am going to have to check.
Jesus, it was Canadian boarder control... wow.
..... So much goes on in just one week for me.
Calgary was amazing. I planned it just right so that I hit the city during the Stampede - which is basically a festival/fair that stops the city for an entire week - everyone dresses up like cowboys and cowgals. They pound beer, party their asses off, and stumble onto the train to go back home.... The photo to the left was taken on the ferriswheel (which I got topless on... whoo!) While in town, I stayed with a guy named Chris.... Happy I stayed with him longer than I planned, it worked out really well. Mario Carts at 3am, topless on the fairswheel, a giant love-boat of over ordered sushi, mini donuts. I love people who are real.... I wish I ran into more of them...
Dyed my hair incredibly dark a few days ago, nearly black. I love it, I missed it.... I forgot how much sex is in dark hair, it is just sultry as all hell. What else? Had to pull over and shoot with all those Canola flowers - I would have regretted it for days to come..... Keep in mind these photos are not photoshopped at all. The colors are just phenomenal out here. Tomorrow is the dreaded drive towards Winnapeg, followed by Fargo. I am estimating a total of 20 hours of driving time .... yuck yuck yuck
I do not think that I have mentioned it previously - A few months ago, a couple of selected photos got submitted into the International Show of Erotic Art by a photographer friend of mine. Gary Breckhiemer is known for doing off-beat nudes in urban settings... Quite awhile ago, I shot with Gary oudoors in the streets of SoHo and also, in front of the Grand Tribeca Hotel in NYC..... While the photo did not make it into The World's Greatest Erotic Art of Today book publishing - My photo did make the show!!!!..... Yay for globe trekking photography! The photo has probably been more places than I have ever been.... I love that. You can check out the gallery show here: ARTundressed (second row down, second photo in)
Canadian Customs pulled the mustang over for two hours, while they asked me speculative questions about my bank account. Which led to many repetitive questions about traveling and if I was into drug trafficking... They went through the car, perhaps searching for narcotics? I am not totally sure.
