Hey love birds 🐥, hope life is treating all of you well.
Today it's raining here, the sky is grey and looking back at pictures of good memories is warming up my heart up a bit - so here I am, about to tell you of the beautiful ten days I've spent in California earlier this month!
Take a seat 'cause this is gonna take a bit, I have soo many things to tell you!
YASSSS, we did it! Finally me and my lil' sis' @lilyt have had the chance to crown our dream and fly for our first time in the United States, to the SuicideGirls headquarter in the most iconic city of Los Angeles!
We've been welcomed to the SG House by @vaega and @eirenne, two of the most beautiful - outside & inside! - human beings I've ever met in my whole life.
I've immediately fallen in love with their kindness, their natural emphaty, their willingness to make us feel at home ♥ because that's exactly how I've felt during my stay there!
Even if they were super busy with their work, they took time to show us a bit around by taking us to dine on Friday, so we could enjoy amazing Mexican food and incredible Margaritas. We ended the night at a karaoke bar where we had a blast hyping each other up and losing our voices to 90'ies classics!
Los Angeles has fascinated me with her raw beauty: I've enjoyed the 8-lanes-roads, the bare hills and boundless spaces where the desert begins, the beaches, the crowded streets, the sky which is always whitish and a bit cloudy till late morning and then it turns into a bright, deep blue.
We tried to see the most, from Griffith Observatory to Lake Hollywood park, from LACMA museum to Walk of Fame, Sunset Boulevard & Hollywood Forever cemetery, from Santa Monica to Venice - and even a visit to Newport, at Orange County.
Talking of the seaside, I've loved the long walk from Santa Monica's pier to Venice beach! Colorful buildings, creative people painting and playing music, good Margaritas (again!), body builders working out at Muscle Beach gym, vintage markets... so inspiring!
While in LA, we've also shoot a lot of new contents - for SuicideGirls, for our portfolios and our Onlyfans!
One of the most exciting news is that there's a big multi with babes @lilyt, @eirenne and @enrapture on its way, shot by the one and only @saria (I was literally dreaming to shoot with her since forever!).
Also, I had the chance to pose in front of @penny 's camera for another SG set I can't wait to show you - and let me tell you, from what I've seen on the camera screen, Penny is incredibly good at bringing out the most appealing features of each model she captures with her pics! She's so talented!
We also worked with @adamsaperture and @floyd, both incredibly skilled photographers and great people to hang out with. I love what we've created together and I do hope to get to work with you both again in the future!
On Saturday night, I debupted as a go-go dancer at Bar Sinister - it was so damn cool! I've signed some prints, taken a lot of pics with people, got tipped way over what I was expecting and really had a great time dancing to some of my most fav dark and goth anthems!
Beautiful @junipr was the "house mom" and host for the night, I want to thank her 'cause she was super helpful and she made sure we were good and at ease.
Here's a pic with all the babes of the night: @lilyt, @junipr, @brea and @coralia ♥ - @kentkaliber, we missed you!
Hanging around and exploring new places, getting to know new people, trying out tasty food, creating pictures with great photographers, dancing and having fun - my time in LA was wholesome!
Time always flies when you're having fun and the week went by so fast, I was almost ready to go back home when something unexpected happened: I had to deal with a small health issue - nothing too serious, but I had to delay my flight back home and stay in LA for few more days without having it planned out first.
At the very beginning I felt lost and a bit scared, since I was on my own and literally on the other side of the world from my loved ones - but because of this "off-program", I had the chance to discover how SuicideGirls is not just a beautiful online community, but also a real family.
So many people not only helped me out in so many ways, but also cared for my well-being! I was not left alone for a singe day and everyone just checked on me and tried their best to get me home as soon as possible. It was heartwarming and touching! ♥
I really want to thank @vaega and @eirenne - words cannot describe what I feel for you guys, I can say I have made new lifetime friends ♥
I want to thank @lyxzen - you've been so kind and helpful and just amazingly caring, I won't ever forget it! Thanks!
I want to thank @penny - as said, I was a fan of you as a model, now I'm a fan of you as a person too ♥
Also, thanks @sean & @missy for the great opportunity to visit the headquarter and getting to know some of the great people behind this amazing community ♥
I also wanna thank my travel buddie, lil' sister and soul mate @lilyt: I'm so happy we did this together, sharing incredible moments and creating unforgettable memories. I love you so so much!
Okay, just by writing this blog post and taking another look at these pictures I can say I already miss my LA days so much.
I do hope to be back, sooner or later...
Folks, enjoy this beautiful community 'cause I really don't think there is something as cool as SuicideGirls anywhere in the Universe.
