A tattoo of me!

Not sure if I have written about this before or not, but as I was just cleaning out my myspace inbox and came across it again I thought I'd post some thoughts.

About a year ago I got a message on myspace from a guy saying he was a fan and asking if he could add me as a friend, etc. Just a nice straight ahead note that was not sleezy or creepy at all which is good because I'm not such a fan of receiving those LOL! But anyway, in the message he wrote he has a tattoo of me on his ribs. This fo course peaked my interest so I went to his myspace page and checked out the pics and yep, sure enough, there I am on this guys body!!! I remember feeling a full rollercoaster of emotion: first off flattery, then disbelief, then humor, then spooked, then intrigue, etc. I know a lot of people tattoos but I have never really seen one of a specific person before....and if I ever did I would assume people would choose someone either really famous, someone they love (spouse) or someone well respected in history (like Albert Einstein)....and how could someone ever decide who to have on their body forever? One great thing about this though is that I am forever young on his body. This picture was taken by Hywel Phillips of Restrained Elegance at least 7 years ago.

The 300 Party!!!

No, it has nothing to do with the movie...it has to do with www.twistedfactory.com reaching 300 shoots!!! Actually, by the time we had the dinner and party we had reached 305 but hey, who's counting...oh, we are!!! So, to celebrate, Tony and I took the TF crew out to Cha Cha Cha in the Mission for drinks, food, stories, etc. When we booked it I totally forgot it was only 6 blocks from the dark glob headquarters so that was funny.

This pic was taken after dinner, from left to right is: Rick (who photographed CB for almost a year as a favor to me when we first started), Me (yep, I was not born with make up), Berlin (the CB resident bitch and TF resident fister), Tony (CEO), Justin (videographer extraordinaire), Shalom (Rick's assistant and good friend to us all), Mylinh (Tony's sexy wife). Our set builder Jesse (aka Daddy) didn't make it until much later and our programmers were also not there because this was more of a crew celebration. 300 shoots full of rope, bodily fluids (some tasty, some not so tasty), forced orgasms, floggings, big tits, little tits, etc, etc, etc.

Here's to another 300!!!

FetishCon vs Olympic Games

Many people (models, members, etc) have been asking/e-mailling me about if I will attend FetishCon this year. I actually thought I might, it has been 2 years since I attended and I always have a great time there but then I realized the clash of dates with the 2008 Olympic Games....see, I am an Olypic Games addict...I love them so much. Especially the swimming (of course, I'm Australian and I was also trained for the 1996 Olympics in butterfly), the rowing (something I also did in school) and the Equestrian. I feel a huge amount of joy when I see any Australian athlete take gold.

My true love for the games actually began in 2000. My Dad forked out thousands of dollars for us all go to go (Sydney) and I was sitting only 11 rows from the front for the Opening Ceremony, etc. It was probably the greatest moment of my life. I never had that pride for my country the way Americans do but at that moment I was so happy to be Australian. Ever since, I have been hooked.

So, I will not be attending FetishCon this year...but probably will in 2009. If I can get my shit together and stop spending so much time on the porn (which should be possible now that we're hiring webmasters) then I may even have Volume 2 of Bondage for Sex ready.

Sunday Night Blues....

I am stressed out. I had a really nice day actually. Did very little Twisted Factory work, had a lovely Mother's Day brunch with the family, hung out at the in-laws place after that, played with Memphis (my dog) in the park. All in all, it had been a pretty good day, everything for this weeks site updates is pretty much ready to go so that's always a huge relief...and then I received an e-mail that sent me into a high strung headspin like I have not felt in quite some time. My head is still spinning, I need a cup of tea.

Love in a time of Cholera

Brillant, brillant, brillant.

I have always loved the book and when I sa the movie being released I was worried. Many a great book have been slaughtered once optioned and this book is just far too precious to be destroyed by the big screen.

I held off on seeing it at the cinema, and recently rented the DVD. I LOVE it. What a fantastic adaptation of a classic and the casting was just too perfect for words. It has been over 10 years since I vistied Cartegena, Columbia and I am now desperate to return to this magical place. I've watched the movie twice now, and I am trying to get hubby to watch it with me now before sending it back to netflix.

The weight of the world....

Is on my shoulders, or is that on the base of my skull and neck? Who knows but what I do know is that I am in some intense pain right now. Doctor's appt at 2pm...which I am sure will just end in a vicodin prescription and a neck brace of some kind....massage appt at 4:30pm which may confirm what I think the problem is: I am stressed, and I am carrying that stress in my neck and shoulders. There may also be a practical problem too: my hair is just too long now. I don't want to cut it but it is so heavy....a foot or so would probably really help the tension on my neck and I could still wear my bun (husband loves my bun!).
