Time is valuable

I sit here daily posting pics and setting up posts for Facebook to try and stay connected to everyone, while at the same time promoting myself and the numerous projects that I am working on...or believe in.  In turn, I neglect writing here, which I think is more important, I neglect Google +, Facebooks' ever changing rules make my audience SOOO much smaller week by week...and I'm simply wasting my time.
SO-- you and I should both know by now that a promise of a blog post daily, or even weekly isn't something that I'll stick to.. but I will be moving here more often.  I can write to you in depth, tell you what I'm working on without it being lost in the jumble of FB adds and I can tell you how I feel about the projects.....not to mention post a shit ton of pics instead of 1 at a time.  Don't even get me started on those FB albums.  Wahhh wah wahhh.
Today- is a good day.  I am finishing reading the scripts from Geek Cred and will be heading to LA to work on the series in a week and a half.  I am going to script supervise and act in the series.  The cast is AMAZING and I absolutely can not wait to work with them.  A great, funny male cast and funny, intelligent, hot comic chicks *Michele Boyd and Miley Yamamodo? Yes please. The series is also bringing on special guests like Jim O'heir and Stephanie Beatriz and...it all takes place in a comic shop.  An actual comic shop...not some store front and studio. Legit.  I'll post whatever I can post during production too as well as everything else I get into in LA.
Also new...I've shot for some new projects! I am doing a card series with 5FINITY. The cards are already sold out :) Here is a pic from the shoot that I have up for presale on my store

 

I also shot for and upcoming issue of Bleeding Cool Magazine and shot for a secret project with First Glance Photography

Know who else is a part of the same project? Adrianne Motherfucking Curry! Who else? Miss Jessica Nigri, Leanna Vamp (Oh how I love that girl) and few other lovely ladies.
I shot with my shenanigan team up team- Larry Alan and Tara Hutchison for both Tara's new lookbook and Larry's new book, which will be out later this year. I think we shot 7 different looks in one very long, very fun....then very drunk night.

After the wine hit

Goof Daisies

More wine...more of my skin. Oh geez.. Unicorn!

Then at the end of the February I got to work with Vanessa of Visualize Creativity for Tempe's Geek's Night out! I hadn't been painted by her since my Ivy at Phxcc 2010! So.. we thought of a character and she created female Joker. I have to say it's my favorite cosplay to date.  It was SO much fun! God damn, shit your pants she's a good artist!  

Annnnnnddddd-- - to top off a fantastic February, Miss Amanda Tucker from Modified Minds had an interview published in this months Java Magazine. Guess what picture they chose....  

I feel a bit special. <3 br="">

That's what I've missed filling you in on.  There are many more of these posts to come. I look forward to seeing you all here.

So Long 2013, You Were a Blast and a Half

This year, like most, flew by.  I was very fortunate this year.  I got to work and travel a ton and, when I was lucky, I got to spend some quality time with friends. So, lets get started with 2013-
January:  The year started off immediately busy and exciting.  A shoot I took part in for Java magazine was published. (YAY!)

Then  I did a crazy little photo shoot for Splitarillos with Cheryl Roden and some other models.

Next up, was the Albuquerque Comic Con! I was invited to go with the owner/organizer of the Saboten Con anime convention along with Armand Villavert Jr., best known for his work on Gladstone's School for World Conquerors. 

 

I got to meet and get beautiful and soulful art from James O'barr, creator of 'The Crow'

Me and my lady Nei Ruffino

The convention was pretty incredible.  Although it was a smaller convention, the guests were great and the attendees were extremely welcoming and excited to have a convention in their town.  I loved seeing all of the smiling faces.  

After the convention I had meetings and started rehearsal on a film called 'Draw' in which I play the lead character.  I missed the Amazing AZ con because of rehearsals but it was completely worth it.  The film is a drama and with me being the lead, and pretty much the ONLY female in the film, I had my work cut out for me.  There was a lot of prep, including a brand new do'

Not to mention I had an absolute blast and made some beautiful new friendships.
In February, it was more trips to make sure my hair was  good, rehearsals, and filming.

 Hanging out on set between takes

 I took a trip to Venice beach for an audition and spent the rest of the day on the beach and eating the most delicious, fresh sea food.  I attended an event called 'Geeks Night Out' where I was a guest and got to see some local fans and friends and was invited by cosplay goddess Toni Darling  to be a part of a calendar with a group of 16 other cosplayers.  I worked on some new and finishing touches to my X23 outfit, because, if I was going to be hanging out with the wonderful ladies of the calendar and signing the entire weekend of the Phoenix Comicon (where we would be debuting),. I had to make sure I had some great outfits. 
March!  I worked and filmed, filmed and filmed more for 'Draw.'  On the last day of the month I took a break and went to my first ever Renaissance festival! How had I never been to one before!!! (In 2014 I will go AND have a custom outfit.  I already have a skirt....hehehe)
April was fun and not so crazy! I got Worbla and got to play and create for the first time.

 I was going to be working with London as Maleficient so I had to make something EPIC!!  I worked hard and made the headpiece, got all of the materials and headed over to Amanda's, at ModifiedMinds, who made, and taught me how to make the gorgeous cape.  By the end of the month I was ready for my shoot.  I filmed in a short film for a friend of mine where I played a puppet, and then..... headed into
MAY ALREADY!!!!~ I started the month off (the FIRST of the month) with a photoshoot for Dorothy Gale from Big Dog Ink's. "Legend of Oz' series. 

Next up was the Maleficient Photoshoot--

and then I did a life drawing class with some of the very talented artists that happen to live in the area.  April Grady-Reyna (whom I ADORE!) did a pretty cool sketch of me....

Next up, I was headed to the Phoenix Comicon! The Cosplay Calendar was out!

Big Chris designed the entire calendar and there were 17 girls in total involved! The ever so famous and cutiehead Jessica Nigri, Ivy doomkitty, Freddie Nova, and many more were involved.  We signed and partied all weekend!

On Sunday, I got painted by artist Mark Greenawalt as a character from The Villikon Chronicles and was on the cover of the comic so helped to promote that as well :)

That brings us to JUNE!! 

Now- since this post is WAYYYY longer than I expected- I'll leave you all with my first 6 months.  I still have  more to go through-- more cons, red carpet appearances, like my movie premiere 'Salvation' 

and director James Wan's 'The Conjuring' premieres which I got to attend, (one was actually a BLACK carpet because....horror--- duuuh)

 

Director James Wan and myself at the official premiere of his film, 'The Conjuring'

photo shoots, more filming and traveling and of course- more cosplay!

 Stay tuned my lovlies because there are 6 more months ahead to be recapped.  I have to admit, I had no idea that I got so much accomplished this year.  

Have YOU made a 2013 recap? Were you surprised at how much you actually did or will you strive for more next year? 

As for me, I will always work towards more.  ALWAYS!!!  Mwahahahaaaa!  

I'll be posting the rest of my recap soon- 

Until Then- Stay sexy <3 br="">

I can't believe it's the end of June!!  So much for me getting my schedule up for you! Well-- I'll backtrack a bit and then I'll post prints that you can order too!
The past 2 months have been a blur.  The only way for me to let you know about it is to just throw you all in-

In May, I brought you my new Dorothy Gale

I started playing with worbla and made some cool props-

Then, I was invited to be a part of a 16 month cosplay calendar, including 17 cosplayers that would be sold and signed at the upcoming Phoenix Comic Con.  Score!

I joined with the amazing ladies- and together with Toni Darling and Big Chris Art, we were able to bring you epicness for your wall.

After the Phoenix Comicon I had a week to get ready for LA.  The feature I shot in last year, Salvation, premiered at the Dances with Films film festival and I got to go and join the rest of the cast at the viewing and Q and A.
