Black Rock City 2010

My third year at Burningman was yet another magical experience!

This year's theme: Metropolis
Popluation: 51, 500
(about the size of downtown San Fransisco)

I settled in at 6:45 & A, which is prime real estate in BRC, like achieving Boardwalk & Park Place in your first few moves of Monopoly. Still not even sure how I found such a perfect spot, other than it was meant to be. Our prime locale kept us super close to Center Camp and the Esplanade, which means quick access to ice, playa info, recycle camp and all the main camps in town, such as medical, rangers, post office, bike repair shop, radio station, etc. This part of the city is basically the downtown of BRC, with Center Camp featured in the middle, the heart of the city.

Under the colorful tent and flags of Center Camp I feel as if I am no longer on this earth, but transported to a timeless, magical place far away as I watch people from all over the city converge in various forms of song, dance, poetry, art, exercise, movement, laughter, relaxation and sleep. I found myself at Center Camp many more times this year. It was great to recharge my batteries with a nap on a random couch, to wander around gazing at art pieces, watch beautiful people hula hoop, or to let everything go in dance during a musical performance. Ahhh, I love the serenity of Center Camp and am glad we camped closer to it this year so I could experience it more :)


Other great benefits of our camp location was the quick & easy access out to the playa & closeness to the porta-johns. We were also one block from Heebee Geebee Camp for steam baths, yoga, dance, meditation....all around goodness and happiness for the body & mind...one of my favorite camps. The best part however, was the awesome neighbors I found myself surrounded by! They were all amazing people and I was thoroughly entertained by them. They continually surprised me with endless amounts of food, music, stories, knowledge, laughter and love.

Between...my camp mates and I,

the large group from Chicago/California,

the small group from Israel,

the couple from Santa Fe,

a lone wolf from Japan,

and the veteran Burner, who always had the good times rollin'...


we had everything covered!

There was gourmet food, drinks, drums, singing, great stories, massages, stilts, electronic skateboards, jumping, hanging, hammocks, makeup, companionship, laughter and all around good times! I will never forget the people I met this year and I hope to meet up and camp with them all again next year :)

10th annual Fetishcon

It was another great year at Fetishcon! I arrived at the Hyatt in Tampa, Florida a week before the event and stayed a few days after to get in as much work as possible. Even went down to Sarasota for a few shoots and got to relax on a gorgeous white sand beach. The best part of the Con was that I got to see all the model and producer/photographer friends that I work with all over the country all year. It was such a blast and I was go-go-go all of the time! I'd shoot from 10am-8pm, networking and mingling every minute I had between shoots, somehow squeeze in time to grab some dinner and then party all night at the pool. Three nights in a row I watched the sun rise over the Hyatt skyline with some great people that were also having to much fun to let the night end! I'd then drag my waterlogged butt to my room, throw myself into bed and try to grab 2-3hrs of sleep before starting the routine all over again. I was completely exhausted by the end of the week, but it was all worth it! Best time I'd had all year :)

Highlights included:

-Having awesome roommates for the first part of the week, NY models/producers Jamie Daniels, Goddess Dee, Jacquelyn Velvets and Tara Bush. These girls were a blast to get ready with every morning. One morning Jamie woke us up by putting a clown nose on us and taking pictures. She's silly fun :)



-Helping the NY girls set up and decorate their booth


-Attending the meet n' greet. Networking, mingling, meeting new friends and seeing old ones, with everyone all dressed up and lookin' sexy!





-Hanging out with Kimberly Jane. This was Kym's first Fetcon and a great opportunity for us silly girls to run around like 6 year old bff's. We had an absolute blast together and I would not have had as great of a time without her!



-Pool Time! Ended every night at the pool...and I guess you could say I started it there as well since I watched the sunrise in the pool a few times ;)






-Birthday dinner with Debbie! It happened to be Debbie's (Jasmin Jewlz) birthday so we got a group together and went and had a wonderful steak dinner treated by Dave of Lonestar Damsels. So delicious!


-Friends, friends, friends and more friends!




-Finally relaxing on a beautiful white beach in Sarasota
