YAY!!

I am getting off this rock and going to a new small rock in the Carib. And I will be there today!
And I am so happy it is amazing :)

satus report: project take back my youth

you have remembered the initiative that Claire and I may have spoke about in the past. At least she and I have talked about it on the phone or in emails or something. And I am pretty sure I made reference to it at some point. I figured it is time for a status report.

Yes, I am working on this. Last night I was very proud of my 5 rum and cokes I consumed, and this morning I feel excellent, so I am REALLY proud because I feel great. The trick I forgot about: drink a ton of H20 before sleepy time, and consume some sort of carb/grease combo before and after drinking. It also could be the amount of vitamins I am ingesting due to the boy's sickness and my determination not to be sick while in Aruba over the next week.

So yes, Project: take back my youth, has been a slow start- but I have been continuously making effort on the issues.


Recent Accomplishments:
1. I have gone out to brunch and spent the day shopping with the girls

6. I have made some new friends- both in and out of the fetish world

trying out the new google based system

much on my mind. I had an amazing weekend, well amazing Sat night. I spent the night in my new super sexy latex skirt in my new hat (that I made, which I am thinking about going into business making them) at rubber ball where a very deserving young woman won the title of miss rubber world... But mostly the best part was my new friend Misstress C and I had a fabulous time of bonding and spanking a very pretty lady- who was very eager to be spanked. ahhh.... it brings warmth to my hand and nether regions just thinking about it.

I took a chair dancing class on Sunday, and go back to belly dance class on Wednesday this week. A woman who I really wanted to study under is teaching in Chelsea now. So I emailed her, and poof, I am back in the studio on Wednesday nights from 7-8:30.

not bad :)

I wonder when I will be back to dancing more frequently. Which brings bout the idea of merging performance with belly dance burlesque and fetish... so I might start thinking about a latex belly dance costume and some darker music to perform to... ohhh sexy.....

the count down to Aruba is on. T minus 10 days and 18 hours and counting. Actually I don't even know what time our flight is, and i have to look at a possible additional night in Aruba so we are able to make it on a flight.

working open this book has brought a lot of happiness, and busy work into my life. I have not even begun to really read the writing that has been submitted, but I spend quit a bit of time working on gathering work and exposing myself to other projects along the same lines. Plus, I get to lay around all day reading erotica and posting on porn like message boards about the project and call it work. Best work I have ever done.

Aside from this book in my life, it has been forcing me back out into old past times of mine that I stopped doing since I finished grad school. I needed a break. I needed to just live for awhile. No stress, no shows, no gallery submissions, no hiding alone in a studio working any waking moment I had. But now, that seems it is all I want to do. Well aside from spending any other free second I have with J. And of course the 3 days a week I spend running at the gym.

I am submitting a proposal for work at a new gallery in williamsburg. I am not sure if it is the type of work they are looking for, but it actually came through our book submission in box. And I couldn't be any more thrilled. Especially, since last night we finished organizing and fixing up my studio. Aside from the temporary air mattress in there for my cousin, it is ready for me to work in.

Let's hope something happens with this proposal. :) I am feeling doors beginning to open again, and it is wonderful.
