Red and Black Week : I'm a Stupor Model!

I have been known to step in front of the camera over the last few years, though I don't consider myself a model by any means, yet it's fun to have these memento's. I am a stylist and I love to be behind the scenes, yet I'm always flattered when my photographer friends ask me to take center stage and try to act serious while getting my picture snapped. I'm a huge goof ball, yet they do their magic and make me look good! These photos have been taken over the past few years, different hair styles and less tattoos!

Alright, now that you're sick of looking at my face, I am very honored to have worked with so many talented people behind and in front of the camera! Though some of them may be a little far-fetched for Red and Black Theme Week, those colors are in there somewhere! Thanks for reading!

Graveyard Shift : Lethal Style Blog

My friend Miss Vanity Kills is a blogger for Lip Service's webzine which is entitled Lethal Style. Her newest entry features your truly in Graveyard Shift, with tongue-in-cheek deathrock haiku's and Miss Vanity Kills signature snarky (yet endearing) writing. I'm always flattered when she asks me to be featured and it's always more than a little nerve racking to have my photo taken. Luckily my good friend Zach Rose makes this ghoul look and feel good, plus we have a lot of fun!

All styling by me!

Be My [Bloody] Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! While I personally do not put a lot of emphasis on February the 14th of every year, I hope you enjoy your day regardless of being single or being "taken". If you're a scornful one who balks at the sight of lovers embraced on this particular eve or you may be sulking as you didn't receive a cheesy stuffed animal with balloons saying, "Be Mine", I have a cure for you! My dear friend Miss Vanity Kills writes about this very subject in her, The Vanity Kills All Purpose Guide To Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself On Valentine's Day. She gives you a lot of ideas on how to enjoy your Valentine's Day while you are single and to not 'rub it in' to others if you do indeed have a suitor. I have to quote my favorite line from her whole article,

Sitting on the pity pot=FAIL!

Oh, I love Miss Vanity Kills snarky humor and advice! Besides, it's Valentine's Day and everything is red and covered in hearts, just wait till everything goes on sale and ransack the retail world! Chocolates 50% off, why thank you very much! Cute little red heart plates, well those will match my kitchen! Lacey bras and panties on sale, don't mind if I do! That's how I look at the upside of over commercialized retail holidays, wait for the sales, sales, SALES!

Regardless of what you may (or not do), don't have a pity party table for one or put too much pressure on one day, enjoy it and have some candy, mmmmmm!
