The Meridian Hour Photoshoot 10/3/2010

Yesterday, our friend Yelena Kurich did us a favor by being our photographer.  We didn't want a big deal of a shoot but in our efforts to not take too long, the simple task of getting one band shot turned into a full shoot.  She brought her Muslin backdrop and we took photos in, our drummer, Justin's back yard.

Jelena is in the same boat as I am, she needs to build her portfolio and gain experience.  So this was even more fun for me to watch her take our photos.  She did my makeup also, and she is officially the second photographer who took our photos to do my makeup.  I could have done it myself but I love female bonding and she's good at it!

After taking possibly hundreds of photos, her memory card was full, so I took my camera out for her to use.  This is one of the photos she took... I photo shopped it to look more intense, the backdrop has to be cloned to fill out the sides, and I blended the backdrop with the ground.  I couldn't figure out what to do with that cactus but I did get rid of a lot of weeds that were in the way.  And of course I tweaked the color, contrast and darkened the backdrop as well.  I love it.

BFC Ink Doll Collection Complete!!

Well, if it isn't obvious, I got into doll collection, but I suppose I always was a doll collector, just not really by choice as my mom would buy me a porcelain doll every year for my birthday until I moved away for college, but even then I still got porcelain dolls as gifts from her and other members of my family. Over the years of course I have collected dolls from the 80's like the Kimberly doll by Tommy, and of course Barbie...  then I got into repainting Bratz dolls the past couple of years and added Monster High to the list of dolls to look for at flea markets etc... But one day, by chance I came across the now out of production MGA Entertainment 18" BFC Ink (Best Friends Club Ink) dolls.  These dolls are way cuter, in my opinion, than American Girl Dolls (which I really do not like at all actually) or Journey Girls etc...  They have a hard body all the way and were made in two types.  The first productions were just all vinyl bodies, much like the Wellie W...

Am I a feminist?

Lets clear this up... I am not so much a feminist as I am an equalist. Women.Women sit here and complain about men and how they are treated by men when the reality is those women allow it to happen, and I am not saying this as some people would say rape is the victims fault... NO! I am saying, if he is not treating you as a person, cut him off! BUT... Same goes for men.  Men complain about women too. OK, if you feel she is taking advantage of you then cut her off. If you cannot stand her, then break up with her. Stop wasting her time and hiding behind wanting to be the good guy cause really you are being more of a jerk that way... and again.. same for women. Women who date the nice guy... I don't really like him, no chemistry, but he's sooo nice, I can't hurt him. To those chicks... you're a jerk! And you'll ruin him for the next girl who can appreciate him more. So my point. Objectification goes both ways. Exploitation is a two way street. Everyone can...
