Sexuality Happens

Another picture from my travels in Florida. I was outside lying in the sun (with SPF 100), reading a book, wearing a leopard print (well, snow-leopard print) sundress, enjoying a moment or two of respite from my family, and decided to take a picture while enjoying this moment.

The result, my long legs, leopard print and a lovely memory of a quiet moment.

Happy Half Nekkid Thursday!

Here is a picture of me on the hotel balcony in Florida…can you tell I was avoiding my family by spending lots of time reading on the balcony, out by the pool, or on the beach? In fact, I finished all 700+ pages of Sherlock Homles, the complete works, volume 2 while there.

So here you see the beach, and the park, and my brilliant left hand, giving you a thumbs up from Palm Beach. Because despite all the drama and family issues of this trip, I really do enjoy spending time reading, and near/in water (odd, being that I’m a fire sign and all…hmmm). You can also see my daily, more utilitarian (but still very pretty) black and silve chain mail engagement bracelet that I’ve gotten to wear on a much more daily basis.

So happy HNT to everyone, and I hope that everyone is having a little bit of a thumbs up in their life as of late,

This picture was taken on the balcony of my hotel room while in Florida last week.  It was just so nice and lovely out (aside from the mosquitos, and I have the bites to prove it!), and it felt good to sit out on the balcony and read.

I’ve had many issues with my legs, from knee problems to torn tendons in my ankles, and even issues fitting into boots due to ballet, figure skating and derby calves. However, I’m learning to love my legs (my new tattoo is helping) and even tolerate my feet. This pictures is just a step in the right direction, don’t you think?

Happy half nekkid Thursday!

Last month, my best friend got married, and I attended as Maid of Honor while I was in Colorado. After the ceremony and before the reception, we went to Civic Center Park to do some fun photo shoots with the wedding party.

At one point, the photographer ask who was the fiercest of the bridesmaids. Obviously, the title fell to me. She wanted me to show the other girls a fierce walk, turn, pose, walk. I, of course, was up to the challenge, and this is the picture she snapped somewhere between Turn and Pose.

I love my back — it’s one of my favorite body parts. Overall, I wasn’t thrilled with the dress. Having seen some of the other pictures, I looks like a cross between a whale and an over-stuff sausage. However, this picture makes me look sassy and pretty, and show cases my back, and I love it.

Happy Half Nekkid Thursday to all of y’all!

While in Colorado, Q and I had the chance to meet up with one of my BFF’s new relatives (since she got married). He’s this fabulous gay photographer, and as part of our celebration of love involves supporting “family” members as much as possible, we had him do our engagement shoot.

I can’t share a lot of the pictures of both of us, as I’m trying to respect our privacy (and particularly, Q’s), but this is one of just me. I look a little silly, as I’m still in my bridesmaid get up (and the dress was not only not the most flattering, but actually falling apart), and Jesse had me take off my glasses for it, and I feel like I look so odd without my glasses, but it’s a very dynamic photo none the less.

I love our shoot with Jesse Hernandez, and highly recommend him. He travels all over the US shooting big events (including lots of Prides, drag shows and more), and is a superstar. More over, he’s a good person with a great heart, and he made me and Q feel really special in some of the pictures he took.  Thanks Jesse!

Happy Half Nekkid Thursday to everyone!

Another post-Thunder in the Mountains picture from my night as Super Queer, showing off both my rainbow-tastic socks (bought while checking out the pier in San Francisco with the lovely Margaret and her family) and amazing rainbow zebra print shoes (apparently, they are called Zebracorns, due to the rainbow zebra unicorn inside, and come in both flats, which I am wearing, and heels).  I was so glad that the socks fit over my giant swelled up legs, post SynVisc injections, and that they continue to make cute shoes in flats, as I’m not longer allowed to wear heels for many medical reasons.

I have thoughts on rainbows; I don’t quite get why some people are so obsessed with wearing them for the queer/LGBTQ movement, and why some people are so incredibly against them as a symbol of this same movement. I have my own thoughts on them, but for now, I wear them where I am Super Queer, the queerest super hero/moose topping machine of them all.

And with that, Happy HNT to you all!

Happy Half Nekkid Thursday to everyone!

Here is a picture right before my scene at Thunder with my Moose Evey, where I went as SUPER QUEER. I duct taped Evey to the table, and tease and beat her with the G-pop (it’s designed for G-spot play, but is also great for boobs/ass beating, and clit teasing). My cape really made the outfit, but without the rocking eye make up (me) and the superb glitter (Evey), it just wouldn’t have come together properly.

Plus, I love my actual eyes in this picture. Not just the make up, not just the sparkles, but the eyes themselves. I love love love it!

HNT to all of you all!

More in my series of weights and stretches.  I danced ballet, tap and jazz for 12 years, and figure skated for 8 years.  For a long time, I was pretty flexible. I’ve lost a lot of that, and so I’m trying my hardest to regain much of my flexibility.  This involves the few non-knee centric yoga stretches I can do, as well as lots of nude stretching every morning or evening, depending on when my schedule allows. I’ve even bought my first ever yoga mat a few weeks back to help facilitate my stretching progress.

I also use my lowboy to stretch out, and here is a picture of me stretching out my lower back and hip joints by putting up my leg on lowboy. Enjoy!

Happy HNT to you!

I love having plants around me. Almost as much as I love being in water, or lighting people on fire (apparently, I’m not sure which element I’m supposed to be; I like them all so much). A local flower shop near-by has cut flowers half price every Friday, so I like to stop by there and pick up some blooms to decorate the house, add a little color, and make it look nicer in our place.

But even better than cut flowers are live plants. We can’t have many, as with the cats, the best case scenario means they get knocked over, where as the worse case scenario means that the cats will nosh on them until they are nothing but stubs.  However, bamboo seems to be safe, and so I take very good care of it, as it grows and grows and is just such a beautiful shade of green. It adds color to our desert apartment, as well as providing O2 back into the air. Sometimes, it grows so nicely that my hand gets lots in the foliage…

Happy HNT!

As I try to live a healthier lifestyle (even before this wedding necessitated weight loss), I’ve been working out my arms. I can’t do much cardio with my knees and hips (just swimming, and our pool is broken, and a recumbent bike, which I don’t have access to), so working out my upper body and stretching out everyday is the best that I can do for now.

Q has noticed the increase in my muscle tone, especially when we’re fucking, so at the very least, there  is that. I like working on my arms too, because I don’t have to get dressed all fancy in work out gear; I often just sit or stand naked in the living room and use our dumbells.

I need to get some heavier once, and resistance bands too, as I continue to my goal of getting as in shape as I can without a pool or recumbent bike. I may be a fat and disabled, but I will be fit, fat and disabled, so there.

Happy Half Nekkid Thursday to you all!
