Thank you, friends...for reminding me this long hiatus was not even expected. What happens when you do superior work and don't invest in the proper security system? Long story short, I got robbed among other things.-I don't particularly like to talk about it, but the one who did it was caught after he pawned all my hard work. If my security system's goal was to catch the one who did it, it sure worked. If it was to prevent anyone from getting in at all, it failed miserably. I learned my lesson and it won't happen again. Models I worked with are safe and sound, but I will need to do that work all over again. I'm not financially ruined or anything like that; please don't worry about me.

In short, I am not an introvert and whoever typed me is mistaken. I learned all the perils of telling a powerful person they are wrong and owned the mistake myself. Things are not always what they seem. While it may seem like I stopped doing my art, quite the contrary. I've only expanded into doing what I wanted to in the first place. I did not want to be a model, I

Many times have I pondered this...When I have guests from various countries in Europe visit my home in the United States, I feel obligated to warn them of a pervasive stigma attached to nudity here.-It is as if I must become nervous for them. hahaha How silly of us. https://www.alternet.org/story/50732/why_are_americans_afraid_of_being_naked
