First post of the New Year!!!

So these are the pictures I’ve gotten from the photographer, Michael Kountz (aka Triphammer. He’s in my top 12 on Model Mayhem).
Mike, my friend/the photographer from this shoot, used a new lens he had never used before and he said a lot of the images came out WAY overblown and blurry and numerous other problems.
I told him “Dude, send them all to me, I can fix almost anything in Photoshop like there’s no tomorrow.” but yeah. He wasn’t lying. Haha.

So I’m sure some of you have seen the 2 I posted on Myspace but here’s all the pics from the Doty Clothing Shoot from the 2nd week of December last year. (Happy 2009, by the way.)

You have no idea how far I have to hyperextend my back to make it look like I have a butt. But it works!

I was SO sore after this shoot because I was demonstrating for the other ladies how to do the “extend the back, make your butt cheeks look good” thing.

I love that sweater.

This is what happens when a person I’ve been friends with forever is the photographer. He catches me doing silly things.

Nickie- “Pull the shirt up more so we can see the underwear!”
Me-”…what?”
Mike *click*

I hate smiling pictures, but these 2 are ok.

I spent NYE with my best friends Nickie (Nickie Jean, in my top friends on Myspace) Jess (aka Vestige, also in my top Myspace friends), Nicole (Heart Attack, also in my top Myspace friends. Well, we kind of got to see her. She left at like 11:30) and all the rest of the art people I surround myself with….speaking of, our group needs a name.
I’ve just been referring to everyone as “The cool model girls I hang out with.” and that just sounds lame.

Anyway, we got VERY drunk. Jess included. Nickie and I had to changer her into pajamas and walk her to bed because she was out, haha. It was so cute<3
I texted all my friends and family with some form of “I LOVE YOU!” after midnight while I was dancing with everyone in the room with the dj and breakdancers.
I wore one of the kimonos I bought in Kyoto (it’s a VERY BRIGHT orange, yellow, red, white, gold, green, and blue pattern 7 year old boy’s kimono that miraculously fits me to a T as a short dress) and had red flowers in my hair and my sakura perfume on and it basically was like Japan threw up all over me.

For some reason, NO ONE got pictures except Nickie’s polaroids.
There’s some great group shots of us and one of me looking like Hugh Hefner on New Years Morning (I slept in one of Nickie’s silk robes), which I felt like crap during.
Not because I was hungover, but because my period conveniently decided to start.
2 weeks early.

So I’m waiting for Nickie to scan those and pot them because they’re hilarious.

Some weird chicks were trying to dance all up on my shit (and I mean WEIRD, they looked like Polly Pockets come to life in NYE garb) so Nickie’s friend Cassie saved me.
I like her, she’s cute. And she’s a lesbian. Yay.

Other than like…4 bottles of pink champagne, a rum and coke, some weed and some other clear drink that I couldn’t identify but was good, I shared a capsule of X with Nickie…and it didn’t make me cry this time, thank god.
(the first time I tried X early last year, it made me cry my eyes out for hours)
But I don’t think I gave it much time to work because we all went to sleep shortly thereafter.

Since then, everyone in this house has been sick and quarantined.
I haven’t left the house since New Years Day except to help my aunt out yesterday because she had to get surgery and needed help getting around and getting her meds (I wore one of my Hello Kitty face masks so she wouldn’t get my germs).
But I’m venturing out to the dollar movies tomorrow to see “W”.

I got my incredibly obnoxious gold zodiac hoop earrings (Cancer, thank you) and peacock bangle from Fred Flare today.

And the domain (Register.com) that hosts my site has been calling mt AT LEAST 5 times a day for a week because I need to refresh my registration IN 3 MONTHS.
I wrote them an email and told them to stop calling me because my webmaster and I are going to refresh it but if they keep calling me 5 times a day I’m going to host it somewhere else.
They called 3 times today and on the 3rd call I picked up and screamed “STOP CALLING ME!!!”  They haven’t called back since.

Oh and Christmas was ok.
My brother’s girlfriend is really cool.
She’s a year younger than me which is kind of weird.
She brought us all presents from Dubai/Istanbul (that’s where she’s living right now for her architecture degree).
I got a really pretty beaded clutch purse from Dubai and an Evil Eye pin from Istanbul from her.

I also got a new camera (FINALLY. My other one is 3 years old and the battery compartment is being held together with masking tape), Hello Kitty Jewelry and hair things (and little barrettes with cute Chinese girls in traditional dresses on them), the Twilight saga (I read Book 1 when it came out but that was many years and many drugs ago and I forgot most of it, and it was good to read the rest of the books) lots of socks since I tore all the toes of mine walking furiously around Tokyo and Osaka, Harajuku Lovers Baby perfume to add to my HL Love perfume, a cute shirt that I didn’t even think my Mom would remember I said I liked and knee high white and black converse boots.
I already have 4 variations on the black converse boots so I needed a change.
Oh and Animal Crossing:City Folk for my Wii, which is a blast.

But anyway, sorry for the super long entry, I haven’t updated in a while.
I’m going to go back to reveling in “Armageddon Week” on The History Channel for the rest of the night (I love anything having to do with the end of the world and Satan and all that. Don’t ask me why.)

Happy New Year!!!

PS-The rest of my hair is coming off soon. My hairstylist Sarah Chang is in China (where her family is from) but once she’s back, we’re chopping it all off. Mainly because I want to fauxhawk it again (look at pictures from summer of 2006 to see what I mean. No half black, half white this time though).
