First off, I wanted to let you all know that the first part of my interview for YNot.com is now online. There is a second part to the interview, but I’m not sure when it will be published. I am actually very happy with the first part of the interview though, since I had the opportunity to talk a bit more about burlesque, which is one of my favourite topics. I’ll be sure to let all of you know when the second part of the interview is published.

I talked to Dick Shagswell of Misty’s XXX Girls (not safe for work) on the phone today. I was showing him a website called 2257Safe.com that I really like. The website name refers to 18 U.S.C. 2257 which requires anyone who runs a website with visual content that could be deemed as being of an “adult nature” to list where the records are kept for the models to assure they are all over 18 years old. It’s a really involved process because it has to be an address that a government official can show up at without notice and the record keeping involves a database that can cross reference in multiple ways. Just recently though the law has changed so a third party can keep the records, so for example a lawyer or webmaster. What Dick was telling me though is that the records still are supposed to be kept in the same state where the business is being run. This means the 2257Safe.com website, although awesome, isn’t a viable option for many. The only other downfall is the cost, at $29.99 per month, which is fine for a larger website but for single performer sites or small business it isn’t so great. I’d love to see another website like this on a smaller scale.

For those of you who don’t know me well, I have two cats, and a huge cat pen attached to the house so the cats can come and go as they please. I’m not sure how, but a bird got into the pen and flew into the house! Needless to say he was stuck in a single room once inside and flying back and forth with my kitties chasing him. The bird is out of the house now, but the cats keep looking up around the ceiling and crying… trying desperately to find the bird.

I made enchiladas from scratch tonight. I totally adore enchiladas! I grew up on a lot of Mexican food so some of my favourite foods are enchiladas, fideo (not the soup but the spaghetti), and guacamole. I’m insanely picky though since what I was brought up on was authentic Mexican food. I’ve pretty much given up on the idea of finding really great enchiladas in Colorado Springs, so I’ve started making them once a month from scratch.

Other than that things are going well and I’m lining up photoshoots for the spring. I’m planning to submit to a number of publications. One thing I’m working to line up is a latex photoshoot. I’ve never shot in latex before and there’s a designer in Colorado so I’m talking to him now. We’ll see how this goes.

Wow, what a day I had!
