I'm stoked to be good friends with the amazing designer behind Purrfect Pineapples cruelty free Lingerie, Erika and i met a few months back when we stayed together at Ink N Iron, i've been modeling her lingerie for a couple of years now.
She really wanted to work with Nicolle Clemetson, she's one of my favorite local photographers and we managed to set it up this past friday, there were 2 other awesome models in town for Hell City, Megan Massacre and Andi Lyn.
I picked them all up from the Biltmore hotel on Friday morning and headed to Studio 8 downtown.
I love working with Nicolle as she always has a great vision and works with the best team of people, we had a fabulous makeup artist and hair stylist to make us pretty and Erika had 2 sets each for us to wear.

Here are some shots so far, we had a lot of fun with the pineapples!

This past weekend me and my family went to Hell City tattoo show in Phoenix, it's a fabulous show, probably one of the best tattoo conventions around in my opinion. The artists were all very talented, there was great entertainment held all day and the event was located at the Biltmore hotel, which is a beautiful hotel.
I went last year and met an awesome artist Sean Herman, he tattooed my neck, at the time my son was only 3 months old and i pretty much had to leave right after he finished. So this year me and my family got a room so we had a chance to hang out and check out the show over 2 days.

We arrived Saturday just after noon and i went to meet Sean Herman, he designed the most gorgeous tattoo from a reference picture i had sent him online, he really does have such a unique style, a real mix of traditional and realism, and his use of color is beautiful. Here's the piece he worked on, it took about 7 hours in total. I'm pretty swollen and sore.

I love LA, ever since i first stepped off the plane at LAX a couple of years ago i always felt a special bond with the place. Before i met my husband and pretty much had a mental breakdown in the UK, i decided i needed to escape my humdrum life and check out the bright lights of Hollywood, i guess most people dream of this but i had to make it happen.
Ever since loosing my mum at 18, i've had this view on life that it's there for the living, i can't stand people that talk about wanting to make big changes in their lives but let the smallest things stop them. I owned a house, had a beautiful dog and a job that was ok, but it wasn't right for me, i knew i needed more.
So i sold my house ( with the help of my awesome father) and packed all my belongings in to my dads garage ( where they still sit now!) and found myself walking the stars of Hollywood Blvd. I lived there for a while, amongst the fabulous and freaky, it was a very interesting time of my life, and it led to me meeting my husband and falling head over heels for him.

Since then a lot has happened, and i won't bore you with all the details, but, i kinda feel like there's a little string tied to a lamp post somewhere in Hollywood and the other end is attached to my ankle. I always want to go back, even for just a night. And when i do, even though many things change, i still see the same faces and end up in the same familiar places. For someone that travels a lot and hasn't really had a permanent home for longer then a couple of years, the place just feels right.

So i had the chance to go back and visit recently, i have an old school friend that lives in downtown LA so me and my man thought we'd pay her and her husband a visit, maybe consider moving there in the future if things went well. I mean, i wouldn't move to H'wood, now i'm all grown up with a kiddie, but i like to flirt with the idea of living by a beach someday in California.

So below are a couple of pictures from the night out on the blvd, and i managed to fit in one shoot with a lovely LA photographer Jennifer Erickson.

I have had the pleasure to work with and become good friends with the owner's of Torture Couture Accessories, they make awesome horror inspired accessories and have begun selling clothing now too! Check out their website, but be warned, you'll want to buy it all!! I worked on a shoot for them a few weeks ago and have a few shots here i'd like to share with you guys.
The photo's are by Tucson based No Regret's Photography, she is an absolute doll to work with! I also collaborated with My Sweet Carousel corsets, i'll have picture's of more corsets coming soon, they're stunning!

As much as i miss the UK, i do adore the lovely weather out here in Phoenix, but strictly when i'm in the pool, all other times it's miserably hot! So when i had the opportunity to model some Bikini's by one of my favorite designers, Shay at My Sugar Doll Bikini, i thought 'yes!' I can finally mix my two favorite things, modeling and being in the pool!!
So i got together with my friends at Dark Unicorn Photography and had the pleasure of shooting in their amazing pool in Scottsdale!
The whole thing came together perfectly, they're such a blast to work with, and the feeling of having the water mist on me while in the heat made being outside in 115 degree's totally fine!

Here's some of my favorite shots from the day, you can find the bikini's for sale on Etsy, they're beautifully made and totally unique, i think every girl should own one!
Oh and the accessories were provided by UK company Kitsch Kaos ( they make the most amazing handbags!) and Pirate Doll Boutique made the large hair flowers, love their stuff!
