:-D

cramps are the suck.

here's a foto from the the expo taken a couple of days ago


san francisco, CA
shot by Dean Karr

Thanks lenoraclaire!

so yesterday i got to see michael blue (for once i run into someone else's ex and not mine), derleiermann (in the US of all places and not in some EU country!), and also Herbie Hancock (i wonder how many of the guests that were so excited to see Dean Karr even remember his video of Rock It).


The new airbook is nice. it's so slim. it's like a super model, or at least a sub-powerbook super model,
but i dont think i'd use it even if i got one for free. I like being to throw in a DVD when i want to and burn CD/DVDs easily. And I prefer the larger screen for working on images - though maybe a smaller screen would make me feel better after staring at my ass for hours.
it is light and it's feels lovely to hold! 3 pounds (1.36 kilos) would make a great difference - just over half of what i'm draggin around (almost 7 pounds), and I can see it being a great advantage if you're flying often - especially on those airlines that are starting to enforce carry-on baggage weight limits and every kilo counts. but it IS kind of sleek n sexy (if you find that type of thing sexy)

here's a shot derleiermann took of me working. notice the 2nd monitor where David (guy at the table) is working on deleting my giant volcano (and realize how everyone watching can see my zit on a niced sized screen. wonderfulness. not).


here are some moblog shots from the expo and the days before.

alanablue you know these guys!


herbie hancock with dean (i wasn't drinking. i'm just a bit rushed)


the view


i dont know what they were pushing but i like the green


the blogger lounge (the blog ounge in the West hall served beer!)

Not at the MacWorld Expo - my brandspankinnewniece

i usually wake up quite early. my sleep schedule has somehow gotten completely screwed up. asleep around 6am, wake up noon-ish.
this is not going to work.

i have a call time of 10am at the Moscone South in San Francisco. The skin on my face is also being very uncooperative and the fact that my shoot (involving portrait work) is going to be shown on a huge monitor above the convention hall isn't helping things.

anyway, here's a photo of me and Scar 13


los angeles, CA
VenusWept.org
latex from SoHipItHurts (defunct) and HWdesign.

west coast fetish ball photos are slowing getting posted in places

BY THE WAY, IF YOU WENT, I'D LOVE TO HEAR ANY FEEDBACK
(did u like the venue, could you see the shows on the mainstage - from what i can tell in the 944.com images, i seemed to be not that visible even though we did have those risers on the stage).

that's my new outfit with bustle that Syren made me.
yummy!



and this one of _yungfuktoi_ and Scar
hahaha

gaaah! so a super exhausting day.
maybe because before 9am i was actually sitting behind a desk over at the Stockroom offices opposite mr stevedietgoedde.
I did take care of updates for the week which i needed to do since i was behind.
fd_midori and sfracerx ran around and got the fish for the show and prepared it all.
met up at the venue and we blocked out the sho.
we *did* forget to do one thing that we realized too late and that was to speak to the lighting guy.
got back to SDG's and took a nap before we headed over to the venue.

talk about a rip off. $20 for parking. that's bullshit.
even more was the $10 charge for a shot of JD.

i really should have brought in my own bottle when i showed up earlier in the afternoon but i wanted to be good and 'follow the rules'.
I realized i'd have very little time after the performance to walk around (plus i'd be a mess) so i decided to put on the super fabulous outfit that Jeff made for me (a red and white basque and bustle number!) rawr!

a lot of people asked me who made it. a ton of people asked if it was from Vex and were pleasantly surprised when i said, "No, it's from Syren! and it gives me an ASS." (the whole bustle thing really helps out in that department).

the venue was nice, with the rooftop VIP area covered to keep some heat in. it seemed like there was plenty of seating for people that needed to rest their feet. the dresscode wasn't too strict which allowed people to attend if they weren't into wearing latex or strictly fetish-gear, yet it didn't seem to detract from the event too much.

ran around and saw a bunch of people and did some photos with emilymarilyn and masuimi and stevedietgoedde.
i realized i was supposed to be backstage getting ready so i ran back and put on my fisherwoman outfit and got my shit together and got on stage in time to do the show. sfracerx had already gotten the fish hanging n all that so everything was ready to go.

by the time i got off stage, i was covered in ink. jumped into the shower and got most of it off of me. jumped into my pink latex dress and matching flip flops (from ostanine) and me n kwouk ran out to drink with ynl and _yungfuktoi_ and saw corruptmorals and sissystck and other peeps.

i'll be posting some video on the moblog and here.
i've already posted some performance shots.


------

i got most of the ink off of me for my shoot the next day with stevedietgoedde. here's one quicky snapshot he took of me with Jeff who made the outfit for me! (though here you really can't see that much poof of the backside going on).



oh, and here's a shot of me and stevedietgoedde after the shoot.

mr kwouk came and shot some video and images during our show.
so here are some photos from the first batch i received!

so yesterday edited photos for udpates n stuff, then got my butt into the shower so i could drive up to SF and work on the Los Angeles performance with fd_midori. it's all sorted out now. though we'll have to see the actual stage and props when we get there and make some last minute decisions which hopefully wont be too big a problem.

meanwhile, reddevilwolf and sfracerx acted out their G N' R fantasies on the Wii with Guitar Hero.
i even tried to show ostanine on the cam but the lighting wasn't optimal. i should have taken some video with my phone. oh well.


so we headed out
first stop was the Center for Sex & Culture Soiree.
Oops no. it wasn't.
first stop was BevMo where they had lots of cool stuff.
i left with a bottle of Abslute Pear.
lots of other little fancy bottles of booze,
i didnt know roberto cavalli made fucking vodka.



So we got to the soiree and i was right in guessing there'd be no hard liquor.
We chatted a bit and then finally made our excuses and took off to get some drinks in our system.
i mean, we had to leave so we could go have dinner because we were really hungry.



dinner at ryoku:


see? eating tons. (including codfish testicles)


this is Atsushi. i never met him before but somehow he knew who i was. need to torture umetaro to figure out how the hell i ever came up in their conversation. the "oh, i know a bald girl named kumi" needs some more details!

me n ostanine figured we should try it in color,
(and i was actually lucky it still fit me! uggghh!)

and um, it's really easy to tell that i'm not a natural blonde cuz the curtains really don't match the carpet!
hahaha
