OK everyone, I know I suck at updating this blog. I haven’t posted anything new since December!
But it takes so much time just to shoot and edit my videos, I find it hard to squeeze in blogging. Which is a bummer, because writing is one of my true passions! But I do manage to bang out newsletters from time to time…so, if you want to stay up-to-date on what’s going on in my crazy world, make sure you sign up to receive newsletters. You can do so at the bottom right-hand side of this page — or the bottom right of my homepage.
If you do already get my newsletter, you already know that I just got back from a week in the beautiful Eastern Sierra…where I checked out all kinds of fun stuff like the mysterious columns on the east shore of Crowley Lake (above). It’s a real bummer they don’t allow camping there, because these formations would look really cool under moonlight! But… then the beach would be covered in trash and drunk people, so I guess maybe it’s for the best that it’s day-use only. And I found a really nice campsite nearby, anyway.
But I’m back in Death Valley now…and boy, is it hot here! That means it’s time to get outski again, and soon — with any luck, I’ll be off again in a week or so. First stop: a trip to Hollywood. And not just to stop in and visit my manly meathead friend Mike Z (hi, Mike!) — I mainly need to hit up my favorite wig store on Hollywood Blvd, and get a new wig or two.
You may have noticed in the first photo that my Marilyn Monroe wig is in bad shape — that’s what 5 years and 3 Burning Mans (Men?) will do to a wig. So I need a new one of those, and maybe something else fun to spice things up this summer.
Well, this particular wig store on Hollywood Blvd. is the BEST for over-the-top wigs — I think their clientele is mostly drag queens and other professional bons vivants, and they have an amazing selection. I first went there way back in 2001 with my sis, where we picked up some crazy over-the-top platinum bouffants. And I’ve gone back over the years to pick up my Bettie Page wig (which is also frankly in need of replacing), and a Joan Jett mullet, which never got much use because I don’t love the way I look in it.
So anyway, Hollywood will be my first stop, and I have a bunch of travels planned after that…but first and foremost, I have to help my mom. So that’ll be my priority…but I’ll squeeze in as many adventures as I can around my filial duties!
I’ll be honest…sometimes, I feel completely overwhelmed trying to do all this myself: my channel, my blog, my gummies, hats and shirts and calendars, home maintenance stuff, car stuff, blah blah blah.
But going out into beautiful country, and having adventures, always helps to remind me why I do it!
And after all…challenges are just new adventures waiting to be met. RIGHT?!
