Cross Country

Here are a few pics from my travels. Stay posted for more travels soon! :D

PORTLAND
I love the skyline

Obviously.

Keeping it real, keepin it weird on the streets of downtown Portland

Saw this in a local waxing salon. Loved it.

Recently got to see the infamous Burnside Skate Park as seen in tons of skate video games

A day in the life, a trip for me to the grocery store:

My brother and I out to lunch in downtow:

DC
Went out to DC recently
Flying cross country is a lot of time on a plane, these are a few of my fav shots:

Me and Ginger: Muuuaaahhhhh!!!

Love this portrait of friend and amazing photographer, Paul I took.
Stay posted for pics from our shoot together!

We went to the famous Georgetown Cupcakes for the first time

The store was packed, and the cupcakes were beautiful, but they were expensive and too rich for my taste, I would rather have a Voo Doo Doughnut.

-Having a blast traveling, and looking forward to more soon! xoxox

A Day In The Life

A day in the life of me: good food and local hot spots. Ship it.

Saw this wondering around today. If you know me, you would know I only have about 5 words in my vocabulary. One in which I picked up living in Vegas: ship it. And it's so fitting for the awesomeness I'm about to talk about below...

First stop of the day is at mi amore, Voo Doo Doughnuts for a, below, maple bacon bar ($2.50 each). I probably go twice a week for one of these babies. If you don't know about these, you should.

My favorite Korean, and one of Portland's best club promoters, John Kim (definitely follow him on Twitter) is always talking about Koi Fusion. And if Mr. Kim says it's good, it must be.

Me and my shit mullet in all it's glory with the world famous, John Kim

So a block away from Voo Doo I ran into the highly talked about Koi Fusion truck. I felt like I found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!! :o

So of course I ordered a handful of these wonderful jewels (only $3 each)! If you ever get the chance, find this truck!!

Eating all this delicious food cured my hangover from all the fanfricking-tastic Crown on the rocks I had at Portland City Grill (below) high atop Portland, 30 floors up in the US Bancorp Tower.

I have allllways wanted to go here, and last night I was fortunate enough to get to go! I highly recommend it in Portland it's a chill, romantic beautiful place with an amazing and affordable happy hour!

The epic view from the restaurant

So there you have it. A day in the life of a derelict. But if you want a fun afternoon, all three of these spots are within walking distance, and for less than $20 bucks you can taste some of Portland's finest. Ship it.

Tim Prendergast and Booshie Design Photo Shoot

Photos from the photo shoot I did last week in DC with Tim Prendergast and my girl Ginger with Booshie Design. We did it in a parking garage in prob 20 degree weather, it was one the coldest shoots I've ever done. But it was suuucchh an honor working with both of them. For the last year I have been wanting to work with Tim, we met at a meet and greet in DC a long time ago and I thought he was such a cool, down to earth guy, and always wanted to shoot with him. And was so excited and thankful he squeezed a shoot in with us! I really love the sexiness, and edginess in his photos and think his work is so, Booshie ;) Hope you like them as much as I do!

The first pic is one of my favorites of all time, and I'll tell you why: Being a 'high fashion' model, none of my pictures are ever overtly sexy, and I have always wanted to have maybe just one sexy picture. Tim and Ginger delivered :) *Note: these are my REAL boobs. Granite, it took Ginger 30 minutes of stuffing and taping to make them look this big, but damnit they are mine ;) Buuuut the hair is not hahhahha. Real boobs, fake hair. Absolutely LOVE this pic!


Second shot, again, thank you Ginger for the boobs ;) This shot was a great collaboration. Tim added the glasses, and Ginger pulled out the gum. Both I think really made this picture work. But it was actually really hard to get! Two pieces of Bubbleicious in my mouth, and to hold the bubble and pose isn't the easiest thing in 6 inch heels and freezing your ass off. But after Tim teasing me enough, we got this totally edgy shot.

So if it wasn't cold enough in fishnets, standing around in practically just a bra and underwear was awesome :) But the below outfit is a true example of how amazing Ginger is. Tim said he wanted to do something 'edgy.' Ginger and I just looked at each other. So she grabbed a garment bag out of the trunk and started stapling. Swear to you, this dress/outfit was made in about 20 minutes and was stapled onto me. She is such a badass. I love the lighting in this, and the parking garage is so perfect in this shot. I on the other hand am balancing in 7inch stripper heels on a about 2 inch wide post.... 'Cause I'm gangster.


After standing out in the cold for about 2 hours I really wanted to vomit. But Tim wanted to do one more look, and I had put the below outfit on to go home in, so we just shot in it. Shirt made by the amazing Ginger, styled by yours truly. Ps I did get hella dirty looks going into the liquor store after the shoot in this outfit. They don't know I'm Booshie ;)

Eighteenth Street Lounge, Washington DC

Undercover in DC's coolest night club...

Me with the General Manager of the Lounge, and our personal bartender for the photo shoot, Carlton

"Yeah we're Booshie" Me and Booshie's designer, Ginger

The lounge was raging, and on a Wednesday night!!

We closed the lounge down, along with this couple....at least someone's night ended well....

On Wednesday night, Ginger took me back to the spot we did the photo shoot with Tony Veloz, Eighteenth Street Lounge. During the photo shoot the lounge was closed, so it was completely empty. But Ginger promised me it was her favorite spot in DC, and always crowded and fun. When I lived in DC, I really hated the nightlife, but this lounge is AWESOME!! Best nightlife place I've been to in DC. If you are ever in the neighborhood, you must check this hidden gem out!!

First Pics From Tony Veloz Photo Shoot

Got the first shots back from the amazing Tony Veloz and Booshie Design photo shoot at 18th St Lounge in DC!! He is so wickedly talented and it's always an honor working with him! : D Stay posted for more pics to come, which is your favorite outta these two??

Photo Shoot Recap Of Booshie Designs Shot By Tony Veloz

A snap shot of the 12 dresses shot yesterday

Putting my mullet into full affect in a gorgeous sequin and polka dot dress

Up close and blurry with full make up and a wig on :D

Me behind the scenes in my favorite Cupcake/Alice in Wonderland dress with stripper heels. I loved this look!!

In the background of the above pic you can see make up artist Rachelle Dalton working on one of the other two models. Rachelle was great doing all three of us model's hair and make up, keeping each look unique and fresh! I have never worked with her before, but it was a true pleasure and I love how the looks turned out! :) Working again with Tony Veloz Photography was also a sincere pleasure, he is so fun, light hearted and constructive with direction, but not overbearing it always makes for such a fun and easy atmosphere! Ginger was styling us all, sewing each outfit to perfection, while great music blared though the empty night club. We ended up shooting well past midnight, but we all had so much fun, and everyone seemed to be pleased with there performance, so I can't wait to see the pictures!! Stay posted for Tony's pics coming shortly!!

My Brother And I's Theme Song

Friday Night At The Nines, And Studio 1

My brother and I's friend Dani came up from Eugene last Friday for her birthday. Well the hottest spot on a Friday in Portland is Studio 1 because Dj Tj plays there! So the ladies got a room at the Nines, and stayed the night to party with T.I.P. (aka my brother and I)

The ladies in their room toasting with an amazing bottle of champagne my brother bought

Before we headed to the club, we got a bite to eat at The Nine's posh restaurant, Urban Farmer.

Me and some of the girls at dinner

My brother and I at dinner

My brother and I's friends at IN Nightlife pulled out all the stops for us once we got to Studio One! They comped us admission, we didn't have to wait in line, got us VIP tables right next to the Dj booth, a bottle of champagne, shots, etc!! If you want to party in Portland, these are the guys to do it with! Much love to Ty, Dusty, and Mayo, thanks for making it such a great night! :D

The girls and I having fun our VIP section

The crowd on the top floor.

Below, Portland's greatest Dj, Dj Tj and the birthday girl. As always he played back to back hits all night, including my brother and I's favorite song, 1980 by Dirt Nasty (See above video)!!! Thank you again! :D

My brother and the birthday girl! Thanks for sharing it with us, we hope you had a great time!!!

Booshie Meets DURKL Photo Shoot

Me and my darling Ginger, designer of Booshie (We are both wearing Booshie... Duh :)

Mi amore, Ginger, lead designer of Booshie Design called me yesterday and said get on a plane Saturday because she's flying me out to DC for a huuuggee shoot on Monday!!! :D I love her! She said she has the amazing Tony Veloz on board, who I have worked with before (see blog post here, and an example of our work together below).Ginger also has photographer, Paul Seegars whom I've never met, but am looking forward to working with booked for the shoot! Ginger scored the 18th St Lounge in the posh Dupont Circle area for the location to shoot (see below pic).
Modeling for the shoot will be:
1. Juelles (below wearing Booshie)
2. Ms. Booshie herself, Ginger (below wearing Booshie)
3. Me (below doing the final pass in Booshie's first ever runway show, wearing the same above dress :)
Along with a few other female models! When I heard what a talented group, and location she had set up I was elated, but I knew we could make this even bigger... ;)

I wanted to bring on the best in hair and make up, so Warren (see the many times we've worked together here). And below, Warren on hair and make up, with me wearing Booshie:


Me and the man, Warren himself doing his magic (I'm of course wearing a custom Booshie Tee ;)
Warren will hopefully be on board, but the beautiful, and talent Aja (see blog post here) is definitely booked, can't wait!! Our work together for PR and Partners below:
And where ever I go my side kick, and one of my best friends, Viseral Photography (ie my entire runway portfolio here is done by him) will be there too!!

Below me at the Fashion Fights Poverty runway show, shot by the great Visceral Photography


But I had one more idea, that would take this shoot to epic status... DURKL.

Backstory: I went to a runway show months ago in DC and saw this men's clothing line. In short, they blew my mind. Chill, confident, casual yet fashionable, and I fell in love instantly. Not to mention, the designer came out on the runway with a Corona...that sealed the deal for my love of all things DURKL! I follow their awesome Twitter, and always have them in the back of my mind, hoping that one day they will do women's clothes. But when this shoot came up, I thought this is a match made in heaven, and the perfect opportunity to work with DURKL!! (Not to mention DURKL got second place and Booshie got third for DC's Best Local Designer!! Check it out here) Thus, they two shall meet. Lucas over at DURKL is so nice, and easy to work with, I'm really stoked they are on board, and think they will really gain from working with all the great photogs involved!

DURKL model and designer modeling their designs. Love it.
When I booked DURKL, I had my friend, and fellow male model Gabe (below) in mind. He has, what I think is the perfect Booshie meets DURKL look, (see his portfolio here and see what I mean). He and I met at the Fashion Fights Poverty runway show (see pics here) that Visceral Photography shot. Since that was so much fun, Gabe and I did a shoot (above) with Visceral Photography, so I know Gabe's a great up-and-coming model with a lot of talent, and hopefully will benefit from working with both DURKL and Tony Veloz Photography.

Gabe and I at the model's after party for the above runway show (photo also by Visceral)


So there you have it, an epic photo shoot in the making!! So stay posted, because this is going to be the biggest, best, collaboration DC has ever seen, I'm so thankful to be part of it!! :D

One last pic, one of my fav of me wearing Booshie. Many more to come...
