Another day, another random bath shot… that didn’t make the final cut
WHEW!! My 2024 pin-up calendar shoot is finally over — and what a relief!
Shooting 12 different looks in 12 different locations is a lot of work. I spread it over 4 days… which means I had to spackle on makeup 4 days in a row, including my most hated accessory of all: false eyelashes. UGH! I’ve said this before — I have beady little eyes, like the Possum aka George Jones. So getting fake lashes on them is no easy task!
Me and my beady little eyes
Before I go any further, I should note that all the photos in this blog post are also-rans — none of them made the final cut, but I still like them and wanted to share them one way or another. My photographer friend Jessica Katharsys, who shot all the photos for the calendar, did an amazing job! But if you want to see the best of the best…. head on over to the online calendar store and order one for yourself!
Trying to look hi class and fashion-y
Modeling is actually kinda stressful for me, because I have a measure of PTSD from my days as a freelance model in Vegas. Back then, even though I was making a living doing it, I never felt I was very good at it. I’m short, flat-chested, and built like a penguin — with short, thick legs and a long torso… which is not exactly what you’d call a typical model physique! But, I did make a living modeling… so like most women, I was probably just being too hard on myself. Still, it’s an industry based purely on looks… so it’s tough not to be too hard on yourself! And it can be psychologically taxing.
Either way, the day I retired from modeling to focus on YouTubing was the 2nd best day of my professional life! (The BEST day was the day I quit my loathed job as a souvenir photographer at Caesars Palace, which I did for twelve years.) But I’m happy to come out of retirement every now and then, for something fun like these calendar shoots. Especially when I’m working with someone as capable and fun as Jessica!
I felt this one had too much booty for the final cut!
Meanwhile, I also put together my other 2024 calendar. Every year, as I go about my travels around the West, I shoot selfies with my cell phone of me frolicking around these beautiful landscapes nekkid. I post these on my other Instagram account, and sometimes on my main Instagram account and Facebook page — with a “magic bikini” drawn over the bad parts, to avoid getting penalized by the social media police. But at the end of the year I compile the best ones into a calendar — with no magic bikini! So if that’s more your speed, check out my 2024 Nude In Nature calendar.
Sometimes I wear a magic winter hat and pumpkin spice latte, too
Anyway… all this calendar stuff is over now, which means I can finally RELAX! Well, actually — “relax” isn’t really something I ever do; I have tons of other projects going on. Now that the calendars are done, my next big project is compiling my old diary entries from my old website into an eBook — so look for that coming soon! I had some pretty interesting and scandalous adventures when I was working as a nude and fetish model in Vegas, and if you ever read my old bog, you know what I’m talking about! So look for that coming soon.
I also have to get ready for Christmas — our mom is coming to visit the compound for the very first time, so we have a lot to do to get ready for that. I’m super excited to show her all the interesting and beautiful stuff in this area — and brother and his partner are coming, too! On top of that, we’re doing a community winter solstice party on the 21st, and then my sis and I are hosting a cocktail party on the 23rd — so the holidays are shaping up to be a lot of fun this year!
Finally… I can go without makeup again!
But, believe it or not… compared to having to spackle on makeup and tweeze on fake eyelashes, and suck in my gut while climbing on top of a railroad car in high heels, all this stuff on the horizon is relaxing!
Sometimes, the best Christmas gift of all is being able to run around in your pajamas and furry boots… without makeup!
