SE Bikes

SE Bikes, one of the most respected (some say "legendary") bicycle manufactures, has brought out its new line of bikes, bike frames, parts and accessories. The new line is the "raddest, baddest, lightest SE bikes to date."  The company has been around since the start of the BMX racing scene, so they probably know what they're talking about.
I, on the other hand know nothing about BMX bikes. What I do know is the dudes who ride them are 9x out of 10... HOTTER THAN HELL!!! I am what you call a poser. And this is a pic of me posing. Before this photo shoot I hadn't touched a bike in too many years to count! But if you know me and my love of shamless self promotion, you know I'll touch just about anything if there's a camera, video or tweeter near by. Next time we shoot I think SE Bikes should have a real live BMX dude in the room to ;)  "supervise"  the shoot.
There's something about those kind of guys. maybe it's the shaggy hair that sticks out from their hat, or their perma 5 o'clock shadow, or maybe it's just knowing their partially bonkers for their death defying style of riding. .. Yeah, that's probably it. Knowing a dude will push himself to the edge and try anything is such a crazy turn on. I love a lil crazy in my men.
Moral of the story. If you ride a SE Bike, don't be alarmed if I stare. No, there's nothing in your teeth, or on your face... not yet anyways!

Sexy and I Know It

Last night I sang at the Junction
Why?
To raise money for local charities like we do every Tuesday at the Rhinestone Stiletto Show. The show starts at  11:30pm kinda. We like to call it drag standard time. So 11:30 means 11:45 at best! Tonight I sang "Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO. and Yes, my animal print pants were in fact out of control! DJ Cho Cha peeked over the edge of the DJ booth to take video of my show with her cell phone. Mistress T was also there with my video camera catching all the action.
Yup, that's right I travel with my own paperazzi!!!
I wonder if my parents ever expected this 20 some odd years ago??




"whatever you do, give it all you got!"
-my mom


I'll be adding this song to the show I'm doing next week at the Taboo Sex Show in Vancouver.

28 and Naked

I'm always asking myself, "am I too old for this?"
I was in LA recently and had the opportunity to shoot with VenerablePhotography.com one of my favorite photographers. Robert has a great studio set up just outside of LA with colorful sets, outfits and props. ANY girl can walk in and leave feeling beautiful! I jumped on the chance to shoot with him. I already can't wait to go back for more. December 19th 2011 I learned that you are never too old or too young to sit in a tub of bubbles!!! Thanks Robert at Venerable Photography for making me feel beautiful!!!

Loving Yoga! Am I Alone?

I wish I had of given yoga a chance long long ago.
I've never sweat so much, never had my muscles tremble to failure, never had my body respond like this to what seems like a simple workout. Yoga is my new addiction
In just the few classes I've taken My body has started to mold into a stronger, sexier version of me. I wake up each morning feeling the muscles in my core stretch and pull from the previous days class. It is unlike any other workout I've ever tried. I feel beautiful, confident, powerful, capable and thankful.

http://oneyogaforthepeople.ca/ is an incredible studio. The instructors are incredible. I highly suggest their classes.

I've tried things I had never dared before. I have a new found trust for my own control over my body. I used to be the biggest yoga hater. But I've grown to LOVE it. Each class is only as hard as I want it to be. Chris is the perfect instructor for my personality. He lets my girlfriend and I make funny comments under our breath. He plays amazing music and I vibe so well with his personality. I've had other instructors but I don't really bother making an effort to go back to their classes.

Sometimes Yoga is FUNNY!
Here's a pic from today's class where there was a battle
Giant Tits VS flexibility
"Don't do it!" said the girl next to me. "You have too much to live for!"


Thanks to the move called the "plow" I discovered why everyone thinks motor boating is so damn awesome!!! I've also decided that I should start bringing a snorkel to class.

***Getting Real***
On a personal note. I started going to yoga classes with my girlfriend the day after I had to put my dog down. My dog was my best bud, by my side everywhere I went. The Tattoo shop, snowboarding, even strip clubs in Alberta. He was almost 10 years old. I held him as he died. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. It broke my heart and I could hardly hold myself together. After grabbing a quick bite with my girlfriend she dragged me to her yoga class. I didn't want to go cause I didn't want to be quiet and face where my thoughts would go in the stillness. But I got talked into it.
Chris was the instructor that day. Thanks to my almost 12 years in ballet my first class ever was quite successful. Chris made me feel like a natural. I was lovin it... until the end. when the lights went dim and we just layed there focusing on our breathing. The memory of watching my dog take his last breath kept playing over and over in my head like a silent film. For a moment I stopped breathing to try to make it go away. Tears filled my eyes as I layed on my back. Class way dismissed and the lights stayed low. My girlfriend asked me if I was OK. I started to nod but didn't dare speak. But then I shook my head and my sad eyes turned to waterfalls.
I thought I would hate yoga after that. But, I didn't. If you can't cry in front of a bunch of hippies who can you cry in front of, right?!?

In my world that is oh so public, it was nice to be in a room of strangers who weren't looking at me. I was safe. Safe to push myself, safe to try and fail and try again, safe to cry, laugh, and safe to twist into strange positions without judgement or fear. I didn't worry about my make up. I didn't worry what my body looked like. I didn't worry about anything. This was the escapism I craved.

I don't do alone well. That's why I lived with a big dog for so many years. No matter where I was or what was going on in my life I was never really alone.
It's been two months since Mr.Muffin Head died. I've been as busy as possible with shows/gigs and work. I had to make an effort to go back to yoga. Today I realised that Yoga being such a personal journey, it's a LOT like being alone, only with a whole bunch of other people who are alone too. The stillness is still uncomfortable. But I can face the stillness, cause yoga is a journey that is different for everyone. Some work on balance, some work on their bodies, some on rehabilitation.
I'm working on being alone.
And in this class, this safe place, we all stand alone - together.

FUCK CANCER

In response to people NOT wanting to use FUCK CANCER merch at our cancer fundraiser (exotic dancers for cancer, held at a strip club) because they don't want to be associated with the word FUCK;

"This is about cancer, not being too good to say the word fuck! God knows we've all done it! Let's take back the word and put it to good use.
Allow the language to benefit you! Don't fear what others may think, we're strippers and adult entertainers for fucks sake! Since when to we care what people think?!? We are the black sheep, the rebels... that's why our events are so popular! we didn't get anywhere being good little girls worrying about our reputations now did we?!?

The kind of man you crave...

I remember doing a cosmo quiz and it asked what kind of man you crave.

a) a man who will bring you flowers, take you out for a romantic candle lit dinner, and fuss over every detail
b) a man who makes you feel like one of the guys, hot dogs, beer, and a football game is your perfect date
c) a man who will get up on the table risk embarrassment, and sing your favorite song just to see you smile
d) a man who looks like he just walked off the set of world's sexiest men calendar shoot with a body carved from stone that makes all your friends jealous.

I circled and highlighted "C"
I tore that question out of the magazine and taped it to my high school locker year after year.
Still waiting for my song...
