I did try to make an announcement to thank everyone for their wonderful comments on a A Simple Heart but trying to do so on my blackberry failed making me look like a noob. I did finally get it right but in case you didn't see it, thank you again!

It's always nice to tell a bit of a story about the making of a set, there was not too much to report on the making of A Simple Heart. The streak *guffaw* of giving randoms an eyeful does however seem to be continuing. The poses of me monkeying on the burglar guard put me directly in front of the neighbor's kitchen window, a sweet respectable British gentleman...also our superintendant for our building. I am glad the subject of my nekkid gymnastics has not come up just yet!

We shall not go into the subject of manicuring the topiary into its delightful heart shape, let us just say it was interesting and hilarious and required a bit more skill than one might have anticipated!

I really enjoy reading the comments and tags on sets, I know many people don't comment or tag them (to each their own) but frankly I find them fascinating! It's often a special little nod from friends on the site, private jokes, insights and sometime interesting, clever, odd and obscure. I mention it as an acknowledgement to those who left those type of comments and tags. I read them and they made me very giddy.


Also its time to tell you what the surprise from the previous blog was. I have myself some new ink! It is an old South African 1c piece. Why you may ask, if you read my grandfathers eulogy blog then you will understand. I have waited a fucking long time until I finally found an artist I am happy with. The artist who did the work is Mully from electric eye in Umhlanga and he is incredibly talented. I wanted to go see him ages ago after I saw a sleeve he did for a friend of mine but could never quite co-ordinate things to find him in-between the moments he ran away from the shop to surf and the precious few moments I am not rushing around like some kind of rabid marmot. The long awaited result...a red flaky tattoo that won't look very impressive to you just yet so I bear in mind it is still healing and does require touch ups and the pic is at an angle so it looks oval not round






Things I have been getting up to:

I played magicians assistant at Burn (a local club) for their annual sex and Candy show. I won't spoil how the illusion was done but my friend magician turned a blow up doll into me by publicly humping it and getting an audience member to help by waving the magic wand (an enormous wobbly dildo) over the humping bundle. It was impressive Gob level magician cheesiness



it was all tongue in cheek and I loved it. Anyone need a magician's assistant on a permanent basis?








Other cool stuff happening:

I am going to Limpopo early in September for a vacation/ shootfest with the other SGZA ladies: Tarion, Lunar, Kohana, Hadess, Skyla and Pyke.


Also making Lumo smile: My three favorite things: old books, digging through piles of crap to find something amazing and insects. I found this book hidden like treasure in a second hand bookstore: a beautifully illustrated book on - butterflies of Southern Africa. I am seriously running out of space for my books!








Other stuff which makes me happy:

Pugs are awesome



Lunar is awesome



Pugs+Lunar= brain puddifying cuteness


Please go love this set because It's currently my favorite.


Also Vassilis took some pretty pictures of me





I have another surprise but that will be revealed in time.
