Hot Tramp

1 Hot Tramp sm

Virtually every “good girl” has a little bit of a “hot tramp” inside her. This one is no exception.

The Hot Tramp neon sign was a Fifty Linden Friday gem from junk. It may still be available, although I don’t know for sure or if it is still at this bargain price. The same goes for the chair from Soy. Both are must haves in my book.

While some events are just kicking off, like Uber, Skin Fair and The Liaison Collaborative are nearing their close. While TLC will have a new round coming up soon (April 7th, to be exact), Skin Fair will be closing on March 27th for the year. Be sure to get to both of these events before the time runs out. My bodysuit is available at TLC and my skin and makeup can be found at Skin Fair. Check the credits for the details.

I Don’t Have To Find Out

1 Jodi sm

This week, I received notice that I have been nominated for an Avi Choice Award for the Arts in the category Favorite Photographer/Photo Studio. I can say I was shocked to receive another nomination, but at the same time I was touched and pleased. I honestly hadn’t realised the awards were coming around until a couple of weeks ago when Cheri messaged me to let me know she had nominated me. She suggested that I ask for nominations on my blog, but that just isn’t my style. The nomination is, to me, the real honour; I wouldn’t feel right about asking people to put my name forward. The fact that more than one person chose to nominate me without prompting lets me know that what I do here is appreciated.

That said, now that I have been nominated, I will humbly ask for your vote. All you need to do is to click on the image below or in my sidebar, scroll to the Favorite Photographer/Photo Studio category, click the button next to my name and then press the Vote button. While you are there, please peruse the other entries; there are loads of very talented people listed in the Arts categories. I don’t know a lot of them, in fact, I wasn’t even familiar with several of the categories, but there were even more to which I was happy to give my support.

I feel honoured to be asking for your support. I probably wouldn’t continue taking photographs without the encouragement I receive.

Or maybe I would. I’m just glad I don’t have to find out.

Still Life With Redhead

1 Eve & Apple sm

As Christmas nears, I am getting busier and busier. I know that’s nothing special; everyone is these last few weeks. The season of giving requires a lot of taking, too: taking of time, energy, money and patience as we battle through the traffic and crowds to complete our Christmas preparations.

When it gets to be too much, it is nice to be able to just sit for a while, enjoy the calm of our surroundings and just breathe. No need for movement; just blending in with the scenery.

You can create your own still life* by just checking through the shopping list I have provided below.
