The Up and Coming

From my fantastic shoot with Moritz, and the wonderful Ophelia.

Hello dolls!

Just thought I'd greet you with a photo from my incredible experience with Moritz Maibaum, Ophelia Overdose, and Paindancer Productions the other day. : ) Ophelia and Moritz are visiting California, and I got the opportunity to shoot with them. The photo above is just one of the many gorgeous shots taken that night.

In other news, I've run into a few interesting options 'dans vie'. So, I'll be focusing on video content, some design work (and moving to the new place) for the next month or so. : D I'll let you know when the photos from Paindancer arrive.
Keep your eyes peeled. ^_^ Meanwhile, check out Ophelia, Moritz, and Paindancer!

A rather sticky situation...

Wahoo!

In case you haven’t heard for one reason or another, I went to shoot with Craig Barrington in Oak Ridge, TN to be a part of his new syrup series. I got to play with giant ornaments…

Naked. Haha!

The ribbons kind of restricted my range of posing, and there were a ton of nip-slips, but it was a ton of fun, and colorful to boot! Later, I got covered in syrup and got to put pretty colors in my hair. And you guys know, I’m all about pretty colors.

I snapped a pic in the bathroom before I washed it all off. But it got all in my hair, and stuck to places on my neck and ears. Ugh! All in all it was a fun, productive shoot.

He sent me various renditions of some of the shots.

Well, I’ve got to go play Crash Bandicoot Nitro Cart (oldies! rofl), so I’m outies for today. Catch me later  when I update you with:

* John Presley  and his paintings!

* Videos!

* My new book!

Hi everyone!

I know I've been away for a while. I have my reasons. ^_^

But none of that is important right now. Whats important, is a very muchly deserved and needed update.

Alrighty, if you don't already know me in MySpace, and if you don't follow me on Twitter, then you probably don't know that I've moved.

I have been doing a TON a traveling lately so I've got a bunch of fun photos to show everyone once I get the final website all pushed out! I'm so excited. ^_^

Oh, I'll be getting a business number you can all reach me at as well. And I'm talking to a few agencies... I don't really know if I'm ready to stop being a total freelance model, just yet... I'm psyched about it anyhow. (lol) *does a dance*

Back a little while ago, I had a photo shoot with Paul Gomez (check out his website). Let me know what you think. :D

Oh! And get to my website (http://shidathecheetah.com), and send me a personal message so I can get you on my mailing list to show you the final launch!

Baisou!

HAPPY IMBOLC Day!

Happy Imbolc

(also Imbolg, or Oimelc, or St. Bridgets day)!

In case you didn’t already know, I love pagan holidays. Sow-un (a.k.a. All Hallows Eve/Halloween Day/The Harvest Festival) being my ultimate favorite. 2 other holidays come in on a close second as far as my favorites go. Both of them being closely related.

Imbolic is a festival celebrating the coming of spring, and your fertility. According to wikipedia, it is most commonly celebrated on the 1st, or 2nd of February – Despite the fact that the Old Calendar says it’s on the 12th. I prefer to celebrate it on the 2nd, because that was the original date I learned to celebrate it on.

The festival commonly consists of dancing, songs, and a feast. I don’t think I’ll prepare a feast, but I do plan on baking a cake! I’ll take pictures of it and show you later.

My other favorite holiday – the one that ties in with this one – is Valentines day. I’ve always believed that whether you’re taken by someone or not, that Valentines day should be heralded as a day to exhibit love to all those you meet. Rule #1 is smile no matter what, and Rule#2 is emit warmth.

Now, some people are going to think my admiration of these holidays supremely odd. Especially considering the fact that I was raised in Baptist Christian surroundings. *shrugs* I guess whatever happened there, is similar to what happened to me being a black girl that loves punk rock music. Always expect the unexpected. I do have Irish in my history after-all. Ha-ha!

I hope you all have a wonderful, loving, St. Bridget’s day, and an even better Valentines day. Keep that fertile, loving, spring-time glow about you!
