Inspiration:

"London! First of all I just wanted to let you know that you are a HUGE inspiration for me. Your pictures are great and I just love following your blog.  A few weeks ago while messing around online, checking facebook and the few blogs I read I was suddenly hit with something. What am I doing? I am 24 years old and working in retail. Not going to school and just sort of living in my life. I needed a change. And the first thing that came to mind (might be silly but it's true!) was you.  You are doing what makes you happy and it is very obvious!  It's so inspiring, especially since everyone can see that you are pretty much a happy happy woman. The next day of work - I quit. I wasn't doing that anymore.  I was going to do what made me happy which is.... soap.  Hehe...

Just want THANK you so much for giving me the courage to quit my day job, set up my Etsy store and really do me.  It feels amazing. Thank you."

Although she asked me not to, I wanted to share the link to her store: Etsy and her blog: Sea Marie Creations .... A great creative gift for Mother's Day! A wonderful surprise for your lady! Or maybe you just want to spoil yourself, smell good, and support a nice girl who likes to make amazing soap... :  )

Ode to a New Era: 2003 Mustang!

Last week, I could not even watch as the salvage company towed away my mustang - The guy handed me $400 in cash - I walked up the stairs to my apartment, closed the door, and cried... That car was my modivation behind all my adventure..... it inspired me to quit my 9-5 job and chase a dream.... without that car... I am not sure this blog/modeling would have happened....

With your help, I was able to buy another MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE to adventure-around in! Whooo! Couldn't bring myself to buy another black one (too soon)... but found this gorgeous white convertible in the San Antonio, looking all beach-like and soft-spoken. $8,495 on the lot, $6500 online cash price. As soon as I test drove it - I knew it was my car....

2003 Mustang convertible. Snowy white, light tan top, great paint job. White leather interior (amazing shape), black dash and carpet, tinted windows. 90,000 on it.... Obviously, I will have to deck it out with some Bettie Page stickers asap.... :  )

Blog readers! YOU bought me this car - ALL OF YOU, BOUGHT ME THIS CAR - If you donated or if you could not, your thoughts and positive thinking..... brought this car to me..... In a single week, I went from being helpless financially and stressed out - To being uplifted by my readers.... Blog readers donated a total of $4600 ... one donor, who requested to remain anonymous, donated $2000 - He was planning on putting the money into his home, but decided he wanted to see me get a new pair of wheels instead (which still renders me speechless..)... Cannot thank all of you enough.... I could spend paragraphs trying to tell you how happy my heart is right now - But I know that I could not do it justice.....

Without a car and without adventure, this blog would be pointless... Your dedication fuels me to get naked and work even harder during this last year of modeling.... I love you all very much. Thank you for everything that you do....
