Winter is Coming

At least that feels like an appropriate line considering I'm in Arizona right now and last week I was outside, comfortably, in a tank top.  It finally rained all night though...so I can at least hope for an icy Christmas. 

 

 Last month flew by. November November, what the hell happened to November? I attended to the Tucson Comic Con at the beginning of the month and brought some pics from my shoot with Larry Alan

After the convention, I came back to Phoenix for about a week and got to shoot with Larry again for a project called The Fun Book.  I went through a billion outfits .. well, not quite outfits - here is a behind the scenes:

 

We shot for a few hours.  The book includes a bunch of different girls (and I think 1 or 2 dudes) and alsoo has cosplayer Jessica Nigri, model Tara Hitchinson, features clothing by ModifiedMinds.  You can order a copy here : http://larryalan.storenvy.com/

Very shortly after our shoot it was time for more traveling.  I am working on a costume with Kip from Kipsworld so I spent an entire week in San Diego working on the armored pieces.
Then came The Long Beach Comic Con, which I have been wanting to go to since it's inception 5 years ago.  I had so much fun at that convention! First of all, Kip helped me build a new banner stand so now I have my banner and 6-10 other pics that I can hang from it to display.  Since I had my new Dr. Mrs. The Monarch prints I hung them and ran around all weekend in the cosplay. 

Prints available w/FREE SHIPPING through the 25th at my Store

I had a lot of new visitors, got served wine all day Saturday (thanks guys!- it made for a really fun and interesting day/night) and then on Sunday I hopped around talking to everyone and hanging out with guests.  I ran into some friends like Phil LaMarr,

Dean Haglund (From X-Files-- REMEMBER!?- He's a super cool guy), Peter Steigerwald of Aspen Comics

 and I got to meet Motherfuckin Lance Henrikson!

There were many more people that I got to meet and got to visit with during the weekend. I walked so much my feet were aching but because of my constant running around, I snagged a cool collaboration type project that I'll be a part of with an incredible artist.  More info on that later.
From the Long Beach comic con., it was back to San Diego to work more on the armor, then back to Phoenix  for Thanksgiving and into December.  At the beginning of the month I was asked to introduce some films and do a red carpet/media walk at the Filmstock Film Festival.  I introduced with actor Shane Dean, got to watch some good indy films, watch the acting competition and see local actors. ModifiedMinds and myself made 2 dresses for the festival and I helped to design the blue dress :)

 After the festival,  I had the lovely Miss Toni Darling to hang out with for a week.

Next up, was a new pin-up shoot.  I have 2 new outfits- one should be up next week :) Here is a little sneak-

 

Tonight- I am going over to Amanda's  so that we can tape a drunken costuming/cosplay/makeup tutorial.  Larry Alan MAY be on photography duty..but seeing as it's his BIRTHDAY-- there may be more shenanigans for us to all worry about.  There will be video evidence so don't worry about missing out on too much. 

Next up for me is the Albuquerque Comic Con January 10-12th and then the Amazing Arizona Comic Con January 24th-26th.  I'm crossing my fingers because I may have a movie out by that time too! I can't wait to announce which one it is :)

February is pilot season, so after the January conventions I may be heading to LA to audition audition audition.  I only have a month because in March I'll be script supervising a web series.  All month.  Busy Busy..but we all know that's how I like it.  

I'm also going to be working on a science/tech blog to go along with video recaps I'll be doing so my blog will change a little bit.  I'm still going to be posting about what's going on in my life, with my career and tell you where you can see me and get my prints, but once a week we're going to go a bit more intellectual. 

It's always a ride when I'm involved.  Enjoy it.  ;p

 

New

New year, new projects, new hair.
Happy new year!! How has the beginning of the year for all of you?? I have been a stranger to blogging lately but so Much has been going on lately that I had to get back in the blogging game :-)
First off, 2012 ended up going pretty well. In June I filmed in a feature called "Salvation.". Its a dark drama and I play the troubled 'Ruthie.' I got to work with incredibly talented people on this film and absolutely can not wait to see it. You can check out the imdb here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1457764/combined
The rest of the year was lots of comic conventions. I did interviews for the Saboten Con - (WWW.sabotencon.com) 

Only one of those interviews is edited and online.  I will be releasing all of them throughout the year, up until the next Saboten Con, September of 2013.

After the Saboten Con, I went to a music festival/convention hosted by Cappadonna from the Wu Tang Clan.  He put on of his songs in the movie in which I play a Mayan Queen, 'A Man Called Nereus' and played the movie the entire weekend of the convention.  Next up was Comikaze!! This was all in September so I was getting a bit exhausted by this point.  I helped to promote the western web series, Western X and met some amazing new people.  

Stephanie Nault and I being interviewed by Gonzo.

After Comikaze I got SICK!!! We're talking a 4 day fever and hacking up lungs.  It was gross.  Because of this...I didn't hit up any more cons until January.  I had a little break, continued co-hosting on Saturday afternoons on Men With No Lives and then started the New Year. 

This year-- although it's been less than 8 weeks in, has been so full and incredible that I am going to continue that in a completely new post.  Lots of new pics and stories are to come--- as well as a NEW workout posts.  It's that time again...and I'm ready to kick some serious ass.  ^_^  Until next time--
