I was so excited when I found out that The New York Times has a review of Voluptuous Life!!!
I love it!

I will be making my television debut tonight on Telemundo (channel 52 here in LA) on the show “Al Rojo Vivo”!!

Please tune in and see me discussing being an Erotic Model/Performer.

So excited!!

Last week I had the honor of modeling for my good friend Stowaway in her beautifully hand-made hats. We went to a part of town that has old, Victorian style houses and took these lovely pictures. I love all the hats, and I felt so regal in them. Feathers, flowers, lace and little birds all make for fun dressing up.
I wish we could dress up like this everyday!
Check out her site ChubbyPigeon.com, and make sure to read the “About Me” section as Stowaway is a very cool woman. I am so happy to call her my friend.

I am going to be interviewed by Telemundo next week about being a Latina adult performer! How fun!! I am really going to have to practice my Espanol so I can fully articulate myself. They are going to interview me here at my studio on the 18th. I am excited because this will be my very FIRST television interview, and what makes it even better is that it will be discussing being a Latina!
I can’t wait!!

It’s a very strange, yet wonderful feeling being able to walk into a bookstore and see yourself inside one of the books. I am always so pumped about it and I always take a picture with the book. (Yes I am narcissistic.)

Here I am at my favorite book store posing next to my picture in the book “The New Erotic Photography” by Taschen. I appear in the section with pictures by my good friend George Pitts.

I was just looking at the Voluptuous Life page on Amazon and I noticed that it says that my film is ranked #37 on the Gay & Lesbian Documentary DVD category!!! What a thrilling feeling I am having at this moment! This is one of the coolest categories in all of Amazon’s catalog.

It is still on pre-sale and a deal at $22.49 (also eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping). It will officially release on October 30th, and in honor of VL everyone will be dressing up and partying the very next day!!

Happiness…

~MY DOG BABY~

I was walking my dog today, and this guy in a passing by van yelled out to me, “Hey you look like your dog!”

I laughed at him because it was such a childish thing to do. What the fuck? I don’t know this guy and anyway, I think my doggie is really cute! This guy was actually paying me a compliment!

Then I had a flash back to age 12, at the local playground with my sister. We were playing tennis with our church youth group. As I bent over to get one of the balls, a guy (14 or 15 years old)passing by on his bike yelled out to me, “FAT ASS!” I was instantly crushed from the embarrassment and shock. I still remember that feeling to this day. It hurt me so much because I didn’t even know this asshole! I had never done anything to him, so what would provoke him to say such a hurtful thing? I ran to the shower as soon as I got home and cried and cried.

Since then I have learned that there are a lot of stupid people out there, and that you can’t let other people get you down. The less you care about what other people think, the better. I wish I could go back and comfort my 12 year old self. But I guess that’s the beauty of life; you live and you learn.

The reason I am writing this is because I am so happy that I am now at a place where I can laugh about these things instead of cry about them. I hope all girls, fat and skinny alike, can learn to be confident and not sweat the small stuff – or small comments from small people. Because look at me now, I am all grown up and have been on the cover of Big Butt TWICE! How bout that for Fat Ass!
