Who's Your Daddy?

Went to the Meet & Greet tonight for DomConLA. It was a lot of fun & I met several really nice people, including a sweet & intelligent lady who I later found out is a bondage porn star. She's also going for her Master's Degree in social work and has 5 years in recovery.

I kept my eyes from popping out of my head when one guy asked me - seriously - "so who's your daddy?" He was very surprised when I told him I didn't have one. His girlfriend promptly returned from the bar with their drinks calling out "daddy!" to get his attention. These people are hard core, lifestyle BDSM enthusiasts. They live by a different set of rules than the average person. Speaking with them is forcing me to question myself & my prejudices. Fascinating, really. Another full day of DomCon tomorrow.

MySpace

Woo hoo!!! I'm on myspace now. Tonight I have officially jumped in the deep end of the Los Angeles networking pool. Esther has already warned me that the myspace site is highly addictive. I believe her, as my intent was to go to sleep about 2 hours ago, yet here I am typing away. The photo is one I took last November. I cropped it & messed around with the color in photoshop. I like it.

So who's on myspace? Daryle? Ritch? Add me! Add me, mofos!! I love you. lol.

So Ian, What Do You Think of This?

Ok, I don't know what kind of twisted alternate universe I have fallen into, but I certainly wasn't expecting to receive a phone call from a rock star while shopping for a PVC nun's outfit online. Holy fucking shit. My brain is going to explode. I could barely contain my laughter. If he only knew...bwahahahahahaha!!!!

Memorable sign off from him too, of "ok, Sweetheart, I'm going to go dry off". Me too.

The DHE

Went to see Doheny tonight at the Gig on Melrose. They were good! Took some photos with the digital. Had to trash most of the shots because the lens just wasn't fast enough. A few survived & a few more will be worth a fortune once the abstract concert photo trend takes hold. Anyway, it was a fun night out & good to see Billy Morrison again, and Billy Duffy as well! Met Michael Des Barres tonight too, and I've got to say, for a man with grey hair, he's still pretty goddamned attractive!

Coop girl I tell you! Up to no good. I'm getting inside people's heads & twisting knobs & stuff. Makes me want to go shopping (HA! Astar - shhh!). Oh no I've said too much already. Off to bed.

Who is Doheny? God, you just become the clubber once you get out there!
Posted by: Daryle April 26, 2005 at 07:52 PM

Doheny is J.S. Clayden from Pitchshifter, Billy Morrison (ex Cult touring bass player) and a couple other guys. www.dohenymusic.com is their site.
Yep, there's something to do practically every night! :)

Lil' Devil

You know that little laughing devil smiley on yahoo messenger? I'm using it quite a bit lately. It's how I feel. Like that or like one of Coop's devil girls. No more typing. I'm just going to sit here grinning & let you all wonder what I've been up to.

Posted by: King Cack April 23, 2005 at 10:12 AM

BWAHAHAHA!!! I'll never tell! LOL. Just having fun is all. That smiley face up there? Just right click & copy it. I found it on a google image search for "devil smiley". You're right, it IS you.

Hell, I can only imagine...and I will probably be right.

That's When I Reach for My Revolver

FINALLY got to see Velvet Revolver live! They were great. I've got a bunch more photos but I'm really tired. It's almost 5am. Why am I awake? I'll post more photos later. Maybe I'll do a web page for them.

Downtime at the Dungeon

Nikita & Destiny. Photo playtime in between sessions. Aren't they beautiful? They're sweethearts, too. Everyone there has been so nice to me. I love the voyeuristic vibe of this photo (I kind of piggybacked Nikita's photo shoot). Also think the room looks stunning with daylight streaming in.



Pretty trippy, huh? It's me, photo by Merlot. Can't believe I actually get paid for this! Too much fun. I'll tell ya, that sock puppet does one hell of a Peter Murphy impersonation.

Here I Go, Posting Again

Did I say I wasn't going to post? Fuck that. Went to a gallery a couple nights ago & took this photo of a cyber dancing girl. She was awesome. Had silver coils of wire for hair, that glowed blue in the black lights. Silver contact lenses too. Stood on a podium dancing all night looking not quite human. I wanted to ask her where she finds the stuff she's got in her hair & how she attaches it. I would imagine it hurts. Was feeling very tired & a bit shy, though, so I didn't talk to anyone there besides the one guy who came up & told me I needed to meet all those people instead of standing back against the wall. He was right. Next time. I would like to talk to the gallery owner about not only displaying my work there, but collaborating with her & several other people on some projects. I'm not ready yet, though. I need to get my website back into shape to the point where I've got some of my work on display there to show people.

Suicide Girls interview next week. YAY!! I'm very excited. Don't want to give away the surprise, but I've got access to a location that will create a SG set that's completely off the hook. Shooting it will be so much fun!

Ok....you just emailed me when? Things have gone from bad to worse? If you want to beat on people, just do it on the street. They won't pay you up front, but I bet you'll make more that way...there's no slow season, at least.
Posted by: King Cack April 14, 2005 at 12:08 PM

You know what? I'm going to try that. I'll be at the corner of Hollywood & Highland tomorrow at noon, with a bull whip, a can of Cheez Whiz & a roll of electrical tape. I'll let you know how it goes. :P

I Need a Miracle

I'm here. I'm alive. I've got a lot of shit to sort out. Massive, massive problems stemming from this situation with my family. Probably won't be posting a whole lot.

Yah, I hope that gets sorted out and fast.

Carnavale

Awww yeah. I had too much fun tonight. I feel so BAD. And I'm going to be a tease & not talk about it. lol.

**Edited**

Ok, it's the next day & I just have to write about this because it was such a bizarro night & I don't want to forget it. I went to a fetish event out of sheer curiosity. I had stumbled upon the website while searching for bartending jobs, the cover charge was minimal, I can just barely squeak by on the dress code, and so I figured why not go to see what all the fuss is about. Well. I fucking loved it. Great music (Bauhaus She's in Parties for one), dance floor, beautiful people in sexy outfits, and a few whips, chains, and cages thrown in for good measure. This guy called Joey Strange got onstage & hung suspended by 4 shark hooks. I've only seen that type of thing in books (Fakir Musafar in Modern Primitives) and on the internet (Chris Angel's site) before. It's 100 times more intense when you are standing right in front of the action.

The craziest thing I saw was some guy getting kicked in the crotch like 20 times. Good lord. I don't even want to know what the hell could be on his mind. How could someone enjoy that?! I don't understand.

It's funny how many average and/or normal-looking guys (who, like the crotch kickee guy, are really the ODD ones!!!) will come up to you in a place like that & disappear really fast when you say you're just there out of curiosity & you don't want to play. At first it kind of freaked me out, but then I realized there was nothing to be nervous about & also the "bootlickers" as someone called them tend to stay away once you hook up with & start talking to the more fashionable people in there. On that note, in case he is lurking, I have to say thank you to my most gracious "host" Master Liam (gotta love those double Scorpios), who was kind enough not only to lead me around the dungeon like the lost puppy I was (no leash involved!), but to introduce me to some very cool people as well.

All in all a very fun evening. There's another event tonight. Hmm, what to wear...
