Just cleaned my trash can

It feels good! It’s such a weird thing but I hate it when the trashcan gets messy. It’s so gross to touch. The orchids behind me I have been nursing for about a month now and they’re so healthy! They have their perfect little place in the shade with just enough light and moisture. The big jungle fern behind me is not doing so hot. It used to be huge! It was so big and beautiful and I loved the way the leaves just swept over the sides of the pot but it got those white fuzzy mealybugs on it, they infested it, they were killing it so I ha...

Hello new patrons💗

To avoid the depression and negativity and focusing on something positive. I’m creating a beautiful space in which to share with you, my patrons that I love. I’m planning an out door bathing area. I already have a beautiful outdoor shower, but I wanted to add a bathtub to it before we do more outdoor vintage peep shows. Since my pool is broken, we’re getting the pump replaced next week, hopefully that works well cross your fingers for us. I decided I want to have some thing that I can just relax in so we are picking out a bathtub today...

Try to see things from both perspectives

Unless it’s about racism❤️ enjoy your day.

Studio update!

Thanks to my beautiful Patreon fans, I’ve been able to update my office studio where I film, video and photography. I’m so excited to have big girl furniture! I feel like having this time off of work has been difficult and confusing and having the opportunity to really make my home and studio what I want them to be has helped me with this very strange transition we’re all going through. I’m really grateful to everybody here who takes the time to appreciate my artwork. I’m blessed to have each one of you. There will be some changes ...

Wear A Mask

I’m so excited to show off my brand new mask by union western clothing. I’m excited for collaborations in the future as well. This mask is chain stitched and impeccably made. I also ordered one from Mike and Robbie and they love there’s also!

I would love to return to the stage soon and in anticipation for that I have masks in every color to match every costume, just in case! I had this one specially designed by union western. I asked him specifically for vintage Sailor Jerry tattoo flash that looked exactly like this. They didn�...

Swinging Into The New Year

There’s a great tree right next to our house on the beach. We walk by it all the time and I always hang from it because it is a nice strong tree. We decided to go ahead and get some heavy mats and hang them over the tree and then fasten my lyra hoop over them so that we don’t hurt the tree but have an opportunity to use this beautiful background for a photo shoot for you lovely folks. The water was particularly high that day and I remember it was so high it kept splashing right into me as I was up there on that lyra. It was such a refres...

Blaze Fury Poster restoration

Here are some photographs from the blaze fury poster before it was cleaned. I will be uploading a video soon of the cleaning process. It’s a very simple process but you have to be very gentle. It’s very important you don’t soak the paper but you gently clean it with us a little water as possible to get off the debris. This poster was heavily encrusted with debris and dirt. It was necessary to use more water than I wanted to in the process of cleaning it but I was able to do so without damaging the poster from what I can see. The paper ...

Tits and Tassels

Say hello to miss Lynn Haven!

From the dawn of time people have had an obsession with boobies, tits, Tatas... if you’ve got a great rack, Burlesque is the place for you! The more curves the better! But what happens in burlesque when you want to further accentuate your Tatas? Tassels… That’s what happens, tassels!

Tassels are an essential piece of Burlesque attire and they definitely do accentuate your assets. Long hanging or flowing tassels allow a dancer to More effectively grab the attention of their audience.

Help!

Which leopard face do you prefer for my leopard cape? I’m pretty sure I am going to have my friends at looking glass gems stone the inside of my leopard cape. As you may or may not know the inside of my leopard cape is red. I want a beautiful fierce leopard‘s face as a surprise reveal on the inside of my cape so that when I start my second song in the routine I can turn the Cape around and be wearing a completely different look and still have that fierce leopard feel. Which of these faces do you like the best?

Cake!!!

My Burlesque baby Ramona Rose made me this beautiful cake for my birthday! She has a restaurant Pací Flora, in the same building my studio is in and always makes the most delicious vegan food. I am not a vegan but always love what she makes especially her cakes! I eat this cake for days… I have one piece left and I swear to god if anybody in this house eats it, I may die😂😭

My Grandmother Mary

Retouching photos after my grandfather James passed away. She had no other option but to take over the photo business and provide for her family. I can only imagine how lost she must have felt at that time. She was so in love with my grandfather when he passed suddenly. She had four small children at that time.

I wonder if taking over his business gave her some comfort or possibly made her feel closer to him?

Family history is fascinating. I remember her always talking about him like some big hulking hero. I always heard that h...

Road Dog Diaries

Jeremy is currently driving me to San Juan to catch my flight. I medicated recently so I’m just kicking back enjoying the scenery. Jeremy is playing Rex Hobart and I’m drinking the last of my sun in through every pore. If my sweat glands and anti depression molecules had those fancy silver straws they would be drunk on sunshine already and I’m just in the car. It’s incredible ow healing the sunshine can be.

The level in my excitement is literally through the roof to see Mike and my crew again!

The best manager in the wo...

Super Volcano Q & A and more!

I know it's a little last minute, but I have to go back on the road this week and I wanted to make sure I could say hello before my schedule gets to crazy. 

Hope to see you tonight!

Sunset

Last night sunset was absolutely beautiful. This photo has no filters at all because it doesn’t need any but look at all that color… wow!

I’m incredibly thankful to be able to wake up here every day. I’m thankful to come home to this island when I get off the road. I’m realizing that happiness in life is about creating safe spaces for myself and those I love and protecting my energy.

Where is your happy place? Where do you feel that your energy is the best protected and the most beautifully projected?
