You might have seen the striking imagery from the This is Not an Invitation to Rape Me campaign before. This image in particular has stayed with me ever since I first saw it some years back.
The campaign, started in early ’90s, struck out against the “she asked for it” mentality. With a series of television [...]

These nanoposts will be happening more often, I do believe. Let’s get to it!
A few days ago, I dowsed myself in glitter and headed to Bardot, to scope out the Los Angeles incarnation of NYC’s infamous Mr. Black. Known for its bottomless waiters and outrageous theme nights, Mr. Black LA has been going strong since [...]

It’s been a whirlwind over here. Between last week’s Coilhouse residency on Whitechapel, Issue 04 selling out, working on Issue 05 content, shooting naked girls, doing coverage for Chinashop, and planning a small party [about which I will tell you later], I’ve barely got time to breathe. However! I come up for air bearing news [...]

Since announcing my portfolio yesterday I’ve received over 800 votes. This is, in a word, amazing. Not the generic sort of amazing in ” that spandex makes your butt look amaaazing, dahhlink”, but actually amazing. I am amazed. You have come through on a massive level. Last night I spent thirty minutes thanking a portion [...]

I’ve done something that my mom has been asking me to do for at least two years. I’ve entered an art contest. Usually, I “don’t have time”. It can be argued I didn’t really have time this time either, but who am I to keep my mom waiting this long?
The thing about self-portraiture in the [...]

December 30, raining, happy. Just popping in to quickly mention that I am, indeed, alive but won’t be back until about a week into the next year. I’ve been tasked with a new project that’s taking up, literally, all my time. However, I do dig the new year’s eve symbolism and plan to greet 2010 [...]

A little late, so maybe we should pretend I didn’t say I’d do this every Wednesday, mm? Will you forgive my little imprudence? “Weekly” sounds better at the moment.
Every Wednesday week until 2010 I’m going to post ten of my favorite Suicidegirls photos from the sets I had featured on the site this year. Think [...]

Coming up for air from finalizing Coilhouse 4 content for a brief update. Despite my squinted eyes and labored breath I do have a few things to share.
URRGHH
In spare moments, instead of troubling myself with questions like, “Where the fuck did September go?” I’m focusing on the important things – Halloween! Oh god yes, finally. [...]

Achtung, Angel City residents! On October 3 and 4 The Centipede* and its secret counterpart [glimpse below] will be on display at the location above, for those two days only. What makes this especially superb is the fact that L.A. Noir will be held in a beautiful house instead of yet another white gallery space. [...]

Made it to the top 3 of Attack of the Show’s Women of the Web Special, out-webbed [and out-boobed] by Megan Fox and Jo Garcia. My positronic brain-device glows with gratitude to Jonah Ray for saying I should have been #1!
Sadly, this clips chops off my introduction, when one of the guys called me the [...]

Late last year I realized it was time to make this place more interactive, consistent and dynamic. The concept of designing the whole beast from scratch was very exciting but, with the amount of work and travel on my plate at the time, I quickly understood there was simply no way. The project has been [...]

ATTENTION! This is a direct cross-post of a Coilhouse transmission.
Coilhouse is going international! The three of us have been operating out of California for the past two years, but as of August, we’ll be releasing our spores across three different continents. Nadya’s job is moving her to London, and Mer is traveling to New Zealand [...]

This Saturday, MONSTER? opens at Copro Nason! Curated by the eye-bogglingly talented Travis Louie, it’s going to be amazing. Check out Travis’ interview about the show, here.
Here’s my monstrous contribution to the show. Her name is “Mommy-Four-Legs” and I wouldn’t leave her alone with my hosiery.

Brain-zapped after two hours’ worth of crosshatching, so it’s PICTURE TIME.
Naked on a Las Vegas morning, last week.
New workroom – not finished just yet, but it’s getting close.
One of three new illustrations for Coilhouse #4 I’m working on.
Between hair colors – red’s next. Also, the other side of the work room. Found this wheelchair on [...]

At this exact moment I’m in North Hollywood, about to get tattooed for the first time in 3 years by the one and only mister Tim Kern. Needless to say I’m extremely excited. Today we’ll be working on finishing my back piece. Sweet baby Einstein it’s been much too long.
In other news, I’m still not [...]

Oh look! A mini-post. I felt the fact that Q and I were just caught in an intense hailstorm right here in Angel City needed to be documented. But the photo is from yesterday. Yes, ice chunks drumming out a mad rhythm on the car’s roof and bouncing off the wet pavement all around us, [...]

Work upheaval. Time, shrinking. Woke up to a steel sky and a head full of silly dreams. Tub of coffee is helping, but the sun is already creeping, which I detest. I would prefer to luxuriate in, oh, 3 hours of pre-sunrise gray perfection each day.
There may be manic updates from Vegas next week, but [...]

I’m still unsure of my feelings toward David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive but Rebekah Del Río singing Llorando has not left me since I watched it some years ago.
Last night at the Edwardian Ball [which was the best time I've had at an event in eons] to my awe, a woman with blue light spilling out [...]

What? Hey! Below are those vertical photos I mentioned earlier, and I’m off to prepare for what should be a very fun shoot for Coilhouse Issue 3. And while we’re on the topic, this week the Coilhouse blog was bumpin’ – there is something from all of us – Nadya, Mer, yours truly, David, Copyranter [...]

Courtney and I made a video tribute to the Match.com ads polluting already-filthy-with-ads Myspace. For the uninitiated, these ads feature faux video chattin’ men who seem to peer at you from the screen and attempt seduction. The little sign says “In my ear”, hence the title.
I hesitate to post an example of these ads here [...]
