Heat Wave

I've been in San Francisco for a few days now and there's been a crazy heat wave the whole time. How disappointing! I look forward to cool temps up here in the bay, not nutty 100+ days. Ouch!

Today, I stopped by the Zivity offices to discuss the upcoming bootcamp and meet the team. Can you believe that you only get 5 minutes per quarter at the meters on the street outside?

AlterPic Blog

Anna Rose dropped me a line to let me know she'd posted our photos on her blog. You've got to go check it out. A great read with tons of hot latex photos. It's an awesome preview of what you'd see inside her membership site, AlterPic.com. =)

What's with chains?

I mean, really... What's with chains? I've been doing some work on another website and going through the photos I see set after set of girls with chains for no good reason. Is it supposed to be "fetishy"? I guess it implies bondage, but come on! A hot girl in latex on a bed with big link chain laid over her makes no sense. My first thought is, "Chains?" My second thought is, "OMG, that metal is going to stain her latex!!"

Then there are the photos where the chains are loosely wrapped around some chick's wrists. Why? She clearly isn't bound. One quick shake and the whole setup falls apart. I don't get it. If you're going to chain her up, then go for it! But just having the chains in the photos seems silly and distracting.

I AM MAKING AN OFFICIAL PLEA! Fetish photographers - RESIST THE CHAINS! (And black plastic "backdrops" for that matter... LOL)

Apneatic.com

Though it means that I haven't been shooting or editing as much lately, I've really been enjoying the time I've spent doing site design. It had been a while since I spent so much time on it, but it's a nice change of pace.

I mentioned Darenzia's redesign a couple months ago, and I recently finished a revamp for Apnea's site. I have a few more in the works but I won't mention them til they're live. =)

Behold the new Apneatic.com. ;)

Sure, some may say it looks more "porny" now, but I really wanted to give those people who are visiting the site for the first time a good idea of what they are in for. Apnea's so amazing, and I think (hope!) that the new design gets that message across. =)

Yes, I'm one of THOSE geeks

Evan strikes again. (Or is that STRIKES BACK?)

Which reminds me that I was listening to news radio in my car a couple weeks ago and it was the traffic segment. The traffic dude was talking about some spectator slowing on one of the freeways and he actually said, "Move along. These aren't the droids you're looking for.". I nearly crashed. LOL

My bathroom smells like latex

Anna and Ana

Originally, Anna Rose was going to stay the night tonight, but she ended up having to skip town earlier than expected. That made the five hours we got to spend together all the more valuable. Back when she was planning her trip, we talked about all of the amazing latex she was going to bring along and I got real excited. Since so much of it is heavy rubber, the kind that plays well with others, I suggested that we invite Anastasia Pierce along too.

Our location fell through, but the bears came to the rescue, letting me shoot at their place again. Thanks Hunter and Charlie!

Seriously, I want to hijack Anna's suitcase and hold all of her rubber hostage. I need more money and a MUCH bigger latex wardrobe. =)

We only had those few hours to shoot, so I hope I get another chance with Anna Rose in the future.

The Chart Does Flow

So, this morning, my soon-to-be-employed friend, Evan, sent me a link to a funny graphic. He is particularly skilled at doing that. For example, he sent this one a few weeks ago.

... Still gets me. LOL

Anyways, back to today. I'm working, minding my own business, when his little IM window pops up with a link to the following image.

Though Evan is claiming "I Rule! At Fuckin. My Job. Is Truckin. Don't Stop. Keep Suckin" as his very own, I'm pretty fond of "Thanks. Here's a dollar. In change. Mostly pennies."

A short trip to the Goog helped me discover the source. It's comicvsaudience.net.

Well done!!

At long last - Kayla

Kayla Jane and I have been planning to shoot for, literally, years. I don't know why it took so long... Schedules, lives, proximity... Finally, though, yesterday was the day, and I'm so glad it finally happened. She's smokin' hot and so much fun. And buried deep inside the tan, angelic tattooed facade beats the heart of a true pervert. xoxo!

In the following two images, the latex (with the exception of the corset) is by Latex Nememsis. Thanks, Nemy!!

The last image of Kayla in the spanking skirt was shot exclusively for Fetish By Anna.

A whopping big thanks to our generous host, for suffering through nude hotness while we shot at his place. ;)

Zivity Bootcamp

Today's my birthday! So far, so awesome. Bob arrived with yummy pastries as I was getting out of bed, then we hit the California Science Center for the Body Worlds exhibit. This one was as cool as the first, plus they had an ostrich and a giraffe. After that, we headed over to the Museum of Natural History and walked around in their live butterfly tent. Wholesome fun and a great way to spend the day.

In other news... I'll be joining Philip Warner and Addicted Image in putting on some photography seminars for Zivity Bootcamp. If you're in SF next month and interested, I hope to see you there. =)

Pervtastic TV

How cool is this? You can embed this player on your blog, website, facebook, myspace, etc. etc. Watch videos and chat with perverts! I think I love it!

Slacker

I know I've been slacking on posting, and I apologize. I've just been so busy with other work that I let the blog slide. Shame on me, I know. ;)

Apnea blew through town recently and stayed the night at my house. We had a shoot scheduled and I had a ton of super-hot latex for her (by Latex Nemesis, don't ya know...) but she didn't arrive until 9pm so we had to seriously pare down the shoot list. I was disappointed because we hadn't shot in so long and she's always so much fun to work with. She's promised me a return visit in September and I'm going to hold her to it.

I picked her up at Union Station, downtown, and we headed over to my pal, James Willing's pad. (He's such a giver, taking one for the team. How awful it must be for him when I bring hot babes over so they can get naked and climb all over his furniture...) We shot for hours, til James was falling asleep, then headed back to my house. We just barely had time to eat pupusas the next day before I dropped her back off to catch another train.

First thing's first. Sutan gave me this bag of wardrobe about a year ago. I think it was stuff from ANTM. Well, in the bag was this ridiculous sequined jumpsuit and it had "Apnea" written all over it. So, after carrying it around with me forEVER, it finally made it into a shoot. I gave it to her when she left, so we'll see if it shows up again.

The following shots feature yummy latex by Latex Nemesis. The pink set is an exclusive for Fetish By Anna.

Ballet Shopping

I just watched this video and thought it worth posting. This chick's got mad skills...

Ballet boots are dreamy, aren't they?

House of Vader

My genius friend, Milkboy, has a blog I didn't know about for some reason. He cracks my shit up.

Warning for those of you that are afraid of gay sex... Don't click the link.

Oh, glorious 80s

Just got in from seeing Yaz tonight at the Orpheum Theater.

It was spectacular. Allison Moyet has always had the most beautiful voice, and it was in full effect tonight. I never thought I'd be so lucky...

Here's a video from earlier this week. It's shitty quality but you'll get the idea.

Vince Clark's a genius, needless to say. That little man has made some damn good disco over the years. Now, if they could just swing a Yaz / Erasure / Depeche Mode show, it'd be my Vince Clark 80s 3-way fantasy come true!

Itty bitty Rollei

I soooo want one. To go with my grown-up size film version. The new Rolleiflex MiniDigi AF5.0.

Not the best digital camera, I'm sure. Only 5MP and it shoots on a mini SD card (bleh). But, jeebus it's adorable! And the photos are SQAURE. And you hold it waist level just like the real thing.

I think I love it!

RED PLEASE!

Moustache Night

A couple weeks ago, Jean Bardot swooped through town so we all met over at Anastasia's house to celebrate. Though I had to suffer through Madonna (again!) we had a whole lotta fun. It culminated in Mustache Night. We all had mustaches drawn on our fingers, with the excpetion of Ana and Liam who apparently like sharpies to mark their faces.

I love Ana and this photo is a good example why!

In this shot, we're sending mustache love to Frenchy. We = Liam, Me, Jean, Mina, and Bob.
Clearly, Liam is scary and Bob is scared. LOL

At various other points in the evening, we watched the best/worst movie ever, and Sonny Black had brought over one of his ball cages. At one moment, I was talking with Darenzia, and next thing I knew, Mina was inside the cage being pummeled by a fucking machine.

Life is good, dear reader...

;)

Mosh

I've been so busy lately, but not shooting much. I've been spending 14 hour days sitting in front of the computer working on websites, design, video and photo editing. It was a nice change of pace to get out of my usual schedule and into a photo shot. Yesterday, I picked Mosh up at her hotel and to our location for the shoot. She had so much awesome latex it was hard to choose, but we narrowed it down to 7 of her outfits, plus a couple that I had brought along. For some reason, though, the day just flew by and we had to cut way back. Oh, let me just mention right here that I love her dedication to extremely high heeled shoes.

I'm looking forward to working with her again in the future....

And, this one is an exclusive for Fetish By Anna.

The transparent latex outfit with the hood was generously provided by Latex Nemesis. Thanks, Nemy!

30 days

The other night, I spent a rare few hours on the couch catching up with Tivo. I got so angry watching 30 days that I went to bed fuming.

In that episode of the very interesting documentary series, they had this Mormon cunt from Orange County (she was adopted as a child and had two adopted children of her own) go to live with a same-sex couple in Michigan. These two wonderful guys had adopted four boys as well (one of them a "special needs" child).

The purpose of the episode was to challenge the cunt's view of same-sex couple adoption. She believes that it's morally wrong for gays or lesbians to adopt children. Despite experiencing the loving, nurturing environment the two men had created, meeting their friends and family, attending support groups and seeing other children loved by gay parents, she was not having it. She kept spewing her hateful rhetoric, constantly contradicting herself and just reinforcing the fact that religious fuckheads will be the downfall of this world.

I mean, they even had her meet with two adults from the area who had been foster children. They told her about how horrible it was to live in group homes, the devastation of being shuttled from one uncaring family to another. They expressed their misery as children and explained to her that they would have loved to have been adopted and it wouldn't have mattered if the adoptive parents were gay, straight, black, white, or anything else. And yet, this douchebag bitch basically said that all those foster children should go fuck themselves. That the only people who should be parents are married men and women.

I bet if she took her head out of her ass for a second and took a little peek down the street from her house, she'd find that a large proportion of the families were divorced. And if she looked further, she'd find terrible abuses and neglect perpetrated by those same straight mothers and fathers.

It drives me bananas. In the end, she was driven to tears and though she claims it's because she was being attacked for her morals, it was really because she's spent her life as a non-thinking sheep, following what she'd been told without ever questioning it. Being surrounded by proof that her teachings are utterly incorrect, she was frustrated to the point of meltdown. God forbid (literally) that she should have to face the real truth that her Christian ideologies are a bunch of bullshit.

Throughout the episode, she'd plaster this fake smile on her face and tell the gay fathers that it was "nothing personal". One of the men explained to her that it was "persona"l because she (and her ilk) wanted to legislate against adoption by same-sex couples. Cunt said that she had her morals and they had theirs and that each should do as they morally saw fit. Again, and with great patience, he demonstrated to her that though that would be ideal, she wanted to make it illegal, so that contradicts what she had just stated. And then, at the end of the show, she had the NERVE to be offended when he told her that he could not be her friend! How could anyone be friends with someone who wants to make their generosity and ability to love a child illegal?

Let me make it clear, here, that I am childless by choice. I do not wish to ever have children. I have neither the money, the patience, or the desire to do it. Though children are not for me, I applaud those men and women who so selflessly open their lives to children who are in need. They are the good guys. These religious zealots and their antiquated beliefs are the ones who are bringing this country and this very world to its knees. They should be ashamed.

I'll stop now though I could go on and on. It's been two days since I watched it and I'm still seething...

They'll have the full episode (30 Days, season 3, episode 4) up on Hulu shortly, but for now they have some clips available.

My other job

I've been designing websites for years. It had kind of slowed down recently, but I've been a busy bee lately. I have been working with Darenzia to revamp her site and to add some new ones for her, and I have to say, I'm pretty proud of the results.

First thing's first. I redesigned the index page of her site:

Then, I made a new tour for her. She's got so many super-hot photos and videos on her site, that it was pretty difficult narrowing it down!:

]

Then, just yesterday, I completed the design of her new blog. The old one was incorporated into her main site, but it was difficult to find, hard to navigate, hard for her to update, and you couldn't leave comments. The new one is bright, easy, and you can join her feed now.

I also created an affiliate site for D. This one's for webmasters to join so they can promote her website.

And, finally, as part of the affiliate program, I designed her new hosted galleries. You'll be seeing these pop up on TGPs and other blogs around the web.

I've just got little shots of everything here. Be sure to check her sites to see the full-size designs.
