OK, so I went to freezing cold Columbus, Ohio for a couple days, but it was soooo worth suffering through the Midwestern weather cuz I was there with goRRilla.Tv for UFC 82! We kicked it in the 8th row and the fights were amazing! Man, if I were a guy, that would be my dream job. Shit, it's my dream job as a chick. Who wouldn't want to be able to legally beat the shit out of people and get paid for it...much respect boys!

I really like creepy crawlies (with the exception of mosquitoes, flies, and roaches) so I photograph them whenever I get the chance. That's my kind of photography. I never use the zoom on my camera so many of these shots were taken an inch or two away from the subject...fun times! One of my dream jobs would be to stare at live bugs all day...seriously.

P.S. - I NEVER kill them so if you torture, maim, or kill one around me, I will be forced to hurt you. Bugs get a bad rap...most are really not so bad, I promise.

Katydid (Springfield, Illinois)
Cute little fucker, huh? God got creative with this one.
He gave him leaves for wings.

Cicada (Springfield, Illinois)
Very common in the Midwest and they sing quite loudly.

Cicada shell (Springfield, Illinois)
I used to play with these as a child.

Grasshopper (Orange County, California)
Cool camo, huh?

Green Lynx Spider (Orange County, California)
This is the most beautiful spider I've ever seen in my life.

Black Widow (Orange County, California)
This is my favorite and most fascinating spider in the world.

Contrary to popular belief, Black Widows are non-aggressive and serious long-term complications or death are very rare. I can always find at least 3-4 in my backyard or garage and I always leave them alone. I even leave the egg sacs alone because the babies all end up eating each other with very few surviving...truly survival of the fittest. More than you ever wanted to know about that, huh?

Moving on...I'm featured on a new line of guitar accessories called "Chicks on Picks." Look for me on the chickonpicks.com website, Pick Pack 2 with both "Miki's Final Exam" and "School of Rock" picks, and a Miki guitar strap. All of the artwork is from my favorite pinup artist Dave Nestler.

Speaking of Nestler, we have another big project in the works and one that's just about complete. You'll be hearing about them soon...

February 2008

For the Superbowl, I worked a private party in Vegas and was painted as a Patriot. Nice, huh? The losing team...whatever! I had a fabulous time though. I worked with my girl Nequisha. We had amazing food, amazing company, and watched at least a few minutes of an amazing game!

Jen Lyons and I shot two days in a row with Trashy Lingerie for their new wholesale line called "Costumes by Trashy Lingerie." I'm so excited about it! Normally, most of what I shoot for them goes online only, but this stuff will be packaged with Jen & I on the packaging and sold in select retail boutiques throughout the country. It's still going to be high-end, especially over the competition, but just more affordable than the originals from Trashy.com. Look for it soon!

My favorite Heather and I attended the Verizon and People Magazine Grammy party. It was a fabulous star-studded evening with some amazing performances that I hardly remember! Open bar is always scary.

I had the most amazing, badass shoot for Affliction! Among the celebs filmed that day was one of my all-time music favs, Ozzy! It was a bit surreal seeing my name listed right above his on the shoot list. Other that shot were Supercross's Davi Millsaps, The Damned, and Brian Fair of Shadows Fall, who had the longest, coolest dreads I've ever seen in my fucking life. I'm sure you'll be seeing the footage soon enough!

OK, I shot the last of the costumes for Trashy's wholesale line. Kat, the photographer, brought her orgasmic baked goodies again. This time it was iced cookies, red velvet, and white mini cupcakes. I think I ate half of them. Shoots are always so much fun there...Hell yeah!

So the next day I was off to Vegas to work the Affliction/Sinful booth at the Project show. Can I just say that I worked my ASS off? The booth was absolutely slammed and I thought it couldn't get more hectic than last year! I worked alongside one of my favorite guys, Randy Couture. Others at the booth were Sean Sherk, Georges St. Pierre, Pro Surfer Sunny Garcia, Ron Mahay of the Royals, the Affliction crew, and a bunch of other cool peeps. I stayed at the Hard Rock bowling suite where we had parties in the evenings, barely slept, woke up and did it again for three more friggin' days. A bunch of us managed to catch a gnarly flu upon arriving back home, but it was so worth it!

My girl Heather and I went to Manson at The Wiltern where we met our friend Lana. It was a great show, although we waited forever for him to go on! Jeez! Our flasks were almost empty by the time he went on! OK, maybe that's not a bad thing...

I went to the first ever MusInk Tattoo show with my ultra-talented makeup artist friend, Dehx, and Tarrera, the equally talented engraver. We kicked it and visited all our buddies' booths, Sneaky Talent, Mike Devries, and Franco and Latisha of OC Inkhouse. Good times! In case you are wondering if I'm planning on getting any more ink, the answer is YES! Don't worry, I won't go overboard, I promise!

I shot for Sinful again, this time specifically for future ads and a video for an upcoming MySpace giveaway! You'll really get to see me in action in that one.

I started off the year with a two-day shoot for the Foxes pilot. We shot the rest of the calendar and a bunch of behind the scenes stuff. I ate like a pig the whole time, but I've still managed to keep the weight off that I lost a couple months ago so it's all good!

I worked the NAMM show again, except this was the first year that I didn't work for Schecter Guitars. Instead, I walked around doing interviews for musiclounge.tv, which will be launching soon. It was an amazing time and I actually got to walk around the show, which I hadn't previously done before. We had press passes so I was able to see some amazing performances and interview some great musicians, one of them being Chad Smith of the Chili Peppers. The beers went down well that day!

I worked a trade show in Anaheim for lunarpages.com. I actually wore a suit! Can you believe it?

Well here it is already, another year almost over. It was a good year though, what little I remember of it...Ha! Actually, if I didn't have my Treo, I wouldn't know what I even did yesterday or even a couple hours ago, for that matter.

So I had a couple group shoots this month for a pilot I'm working on called Foxes. We started shooting a pinup calendar for '08 that's going to be fucking hot! I'll give more details bout the show in the future, cool?

Parties, parties, and more parties this month. Jeez! First, my friend Celeste and I hit the Affliction/Sinful party in OC, then we drove to MotoArt in Torrance for our friend Mark's party. I made the mistake of drinking Cuervo, which I absolutely hate, but there was no other hard liquor available that I could drink so I had to settle. Yeah, I settled for it, but my stomach sure didn't! Never again...and that's an oath.

I actually threw a party at my house, which is a once-in-a-lifetime event for me. I had the cheese and chocolate fondue going and everyone brought something incredibly yummy. I'm so used to going to other people's parties and eating all their food that I thought it would be overwhelming to host one myself. I guess I was wrong...It went so well that I might actually have another one!

I flew out the next day to Vegas for a Benchwarmer party at Body English at the Hard Rock. I ate, drank, partied...you know, the usual.

Just a couple days later, I went to another Benchwarmer party. This was their local LA Holiday party and it was one of their best yet! My girls and I tore that place up!

I finally saw Van Halen with David Lee Roth! I've been dying to see them since I was little and I was not disappointed. They rocked!!! It was better than when I saw them with Hagar, although that was a good show too. They played all the old favorites...Hell yeah!

This was one of the first Christmas's in years and years that I actually celebrated without being such a big scrooge! I still had to put the Grinch on top of the tree though, along with several Grinch characters in the lawn. C'mon...I can't convert all the way!

Last party of the year was NYE at the Mansion. I went with my girl Heather and our flasks. They decked the place out all in white and it looked beautiful. I'm normally not a huge fan of New Year's parties there, but this one was decent. It's all the company you're with, right?

My first event of the monthwas a charity event at the Playboy Mansion. It was a cool event, but I didn't realize they would be auctioning off Bunny Ranch girls...one of them being a Dolly Parton lookalike. Who'd have thunk it?

My ol' friend from Springfield, Tanya, came to Cali for work/play and I took her on the grand tour of SoCal. She came just in time for the devastating fires so I think she saw way more than she expected to. Despite the natural distasters, we were able to hit up Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Orange County, and San Diego in just a couple days! We even managed to get matching drunken tattoos with my girl Heather at Shamrock Tattoo on Sunset. What a way to leave Cali, huh?

I worked a body paint gig at the beautiful Green Door for Kübler Absinthe, the first genuine Swiss Absinthe sold in the U.S. in almost 100 years. I was painted as an Absinthe fairy. Nice, huh...me as a fairy? Absinthe is supposed to make you hallucinate and it's some pretty hardcore shit. It's a whole performance to drink it the way you are supposed to, complete with a sugar cube strained over ice. The taste reminded me a lot of Jager, except Jager is cheaper and so much easier to drink, especially chilled right out of a flask. Oh, so sophisticated! Pedro was even there so I voted for him. Actually, he was with some chick and was doing a danceoff with himself, and, believe it or not, he dances as good, if not better, than Napoleon. He was the highlight of the night!

Turkey day was a nonstop gluttenfest, as always. Luckily, I lost a few pounds before the it hit so I had no guilt!

Took a short trip to South Carolina to visit relatives shortly after the holiday. The girls, Tsuki and Copper, my little hairless wonders, flew with me. They are amazing travel doggies. They just sleep under the seat the whole way through the flight. No one ever knows they're even there! Thank God too cuz I never pay for them to fly...Shhh!

My first gig of the month was for the show Cane. I played a waitress. Who knows if I even made the cut...never got a chance to check!

I had a really cool experience...it was a reunion with old friends that I went to school with when I lived in Saudi. We all met up in Vegas and hung out for a weekend. There was only a handful of us, but we had such a great time! We picked up right where we left off, even after all these years.

So I finally got a tattoo that I've been dying to get redone for years and years. The original was a black widow in a web that I got on my ankle when I was 17. It was later covered with a lame red flower that turned out like shit! Anyhow, I'm finally in the process of getting the old one removed by laser. Can I just say that it hurts a jillion times worse than getting a tattoo? I relate it to getting a motorcycle burn every few weeks. I decided I wasn't fucking around this time so I went to the best, Mike Devries. He did just as amazing of a job just like I knew he would. I got the widow put back on my neck where it belongs.

I finally got a chance to take a long-awaited trip to visit my parents in New Orleans. My Dad's been working with FEMA for a couple years now and he took me through all the devastated areas. A lot of rebuilding had been done in certain areas, others not. It was such a surreal experience that it was difficult to soak in. All the houses where bodies were found had already been taken down, but there were still houses up that had spray painted markings on the fronts of them from the ASPCA and various fire departments stating how many animals had been found and where...sad beyond words. We also visited the Memorial that had been put up where large blue poles were built showing the various water levels during the flooding. Mother Nature can be so brutal.

I just filmed an interview for something huge that I have to keep under lock and key for a few months. Fuck! All I can say is that it's a special for the E! channel and I can't wait til it airs!!!

Ahhhh...I have survived yet another year of Halloween mayhem! This year I was my own version of Poison Ivy, a costume that I had custom-made by Designer Dot of Trashy Lingerie. It turned out amazing! I even left a spectacular trail of green glitter everywhere I stepped!

The Mansion was amazing, as all of their Halloween parties are. I even remembered to hit up their haunted house, which I failed to do the previous year due to excessive alcohol intake. It was mostly a maze of pitch black hairpin turns which I led the way through, of course. I have to say that it didn't compare to the year they had a setup of The Ring and that scary chick with the Cousin Itt hair came out of the TV. That would have even been scary sober.

Next I shot a segment with a few of the Trashy Lingerie girls for Good Day LA, which aired on Halloween morning. I wore my custom Trashy Poison Ivy costume, of course. As I recall, someone referred to it as "Swamp Thing." My favorite part is me trying to walk away without tripping with a vine wrapped around my leg and 6 1/2" platform maryjanes on!

My third and final wearing of the Poison Ivy costume was at the Trashy Lingerie party on Halloween night. Both myself and the costume made it out alive...just barely though.

I began the month shooting for two of my favorite companies, Trashy and Sinful. Great way to start off!

MANswers finally began airing this month on Spike TV! I'm always in the intro as the cop and so far I've been in almost all of the episodes. The show is obnoxious and I love it. Click HERE to see a bunch of the online clips.

Speaking of Sinful, there's another full-page ad of me in the October Issue of International Tattoo.

Shot a funny segment for a Harley movie with my friend Meriah. I'm interested to see how that turns out!

I shot in San Diego for a calendar that should be coming out next year. I'll let ya know when it does.

I worked a Tool show with a bunch of my model buddies. I froze my ass off because I forgot to bring a jacket! My solution? Putting on five T-shirts from the booth I was working in.

I shot some segments for a website that will be debuting eventually. It should be pretty funny...my character was a little schizo, which was nice. I'll let ya know when the site launches.

Went to the Midsummer Night's Dream party at the Mansion. It was fun this year, but I have to say that last year beat this one out. It was still a good time though, but I ate too much at the end!

I worked a technical trade show called Siggraph in San Diego for a few days for a company called Organic Motion. I worked with a few of my girlfriends and I did not have wear heels for once so that made me a happy Miki!!!

I was that time of year again for my annual trip back to Springfield, Illinois, or as we call it there, The Springpatch. I Rednecked it up at the Illinois State Fair as always, drinkin' beers and eatin' random things on a stick. Why do I go to the Fair you ask? Because that's all there is to do there. Ha! No, really...that's all there is to do. I love going back though...good times and good friends, the kind you keep for life. It doesn't matter what you're doing as long as your in good company...at least that's how I roll.

See me and my fellow Trashy Girls on the teaser of the new season of Sunset Tan. The episode is called "New Kid on the Block." Why am I always getting sprayed with chemicals on all the shows I'm on?! First, bodypaint, now spray tan?!! Jeez...enough already!!!

I worked the Project show again for Sinful. It was so much fun!!! All the UFC boys were there, including Randy Couture, Georges St. Pierre, Gray Maynard, Sean Sherk, John McCarthy, and a couple others. I had a great time hangin' out with everyone. Since most of the guys were training, I drank enough Jager for all of them! Then on the second night, I arm wrestled most of the girls at the party...even ones that didn't want to. I think all the testosterone in the room made me hyper...or maybe it was the Jager. I finally lost out to this chick when my right hand wore out after a one-minute standoff and I was forced to use my left. I knew that she would beat me because she was much bigger, but I put up a good fight, damnit! In fact, I demand a rematch! Too bad I don't even know her name.

I spend my first 4th of July at the Playboy Mansion. Their fireworks display was amazing, however it did not beat the view that I had when I lived in San Diego. I used to live in an apartment in Point Loma way up on a hill with a panoramic view of all the beach cities, and every night in the summer I watched the Sea World fireworks show from my balcony. It was a very close-up view and I quickly became spoiled by it. Every year on the 4th, not only did I have the view of Sea World's show, but the shows in all the surrounding cities. I don't think I'll ever get to experience anything quite like that anytime soon...

So I made the final issue of FHM a while back and it's no longer available, but if you want to see some behind the scenes footage of me and my fellow Trashy Lingerie models shooting with Jenna Jameson, click HERE.

Shot with photographer Tracie Spence in OC. It's so nice to book a few local gigs every now and then! We shot a wide variety of looks, which I will eventually be posting on my site. One of the shots will be featured in an upcoming mag...I'll let you know when it comes out.

So the new Harry Potter music video, "Harry Potter in the Hood," just released on youtube.com and it's the wizard boy like you've never seen him before! He's so gangsta!!! I think I'm in love. In fact, he made me one of his bitches...see for yourself! Click HERE.

It seems the video is already getting some major media attention. It was featured on both E! Channel's "The Daily 10" and on ABC News' "Hollywood Wrap" earlier this week. Interestingly enough, artist Dave Nestler's "Miki's School of Rock" painting landed a quick spot on the E! segment as well! How random is that? Debbie Matenopoulos actually says, "Harry's been hittin' the chronic." That's even more random.

Just got word that the September issue of Skin & Ink just hit the newsstands! I have a feeling that I am the first model ever to grace the cover of this mag with only 2 small tattoos. How funny! How did I get away with this?! Easy...it's a painting. My favorite artist Dave Nestler created this beauty and adorned me with all the tatts. I specially requested the Black Widow and Mom & Dad tatts, of course. Notice all the cool details, like each bear representing a different branch of service and all the letters and photos to me from servicemen. Dave kicks ass! FYI, this issue is very symbolic because this piece was created specifically with the troops in mind now that Skin & Ink has been added to the list of Military-approved magazines to be sent overseas. This is obviously a very symbolic piece for me too, since my Dad is an ex-Green Beret and Vietnam Vet.

I had another shoot for Hot Boat magazine. This time it was at Lake Irvine. Here's the issue from the last shoot on newsstands now.

Worked an event at the Porsche Design store in Beverly Hills...too bad they didn't give me any merchandise...pretty cool stuff in there.

Shot for Sinful again and I'm featured in the August's Issue of International Tattoo on newsstands now.

I dealt a private Texas Hold 'em tournament and loved it! Now I need to start playing the damn game.

I attended the Kandyland party at the Playboy Mansion. It's sponsored by the Karma Foundation. It was fun, but I can't lie...last year was waaaaaay better!

I visited Kearney, Nebraska with Randy Couture, Gray Maynard, and John McCarthy for an Affliction/Sinful event. It's one of the tiniest towns I've seen in a while! It actually reminded me of Illinois and all the little surrounding cities. The UFC boys were fucking cool as Hell to hang with. I never imagined they would be so courteous and humble. WTF?!

Well, I guess the girls and I were a big hit at the San Fran photo exhibit! We managed to land ourselves a photo and write-up in The Examiner, one of the main San Fran papers. The facts are a little off, but as we all know, things are not always as they appear. The writer had some details incorrect like the breed of dog, style of home, color of bikini, but whose keepin' track? Click HERE for a link to the online version.

A group of us went to the Benchwarmer Gold Edition party. It was another Jager night for me, but isn't that always the case when I go out?

I shot a campaign for the Crystal Casino with a couple other chicks...haven't seen it yet, but a few peeps have told me about it.

My feature for Savvy.com went up this month. There's an interview and photos from my shoot with Barry Smith. I shot one set with my old guitar, which was cool, although I like the other set better. They definitely chose the skimpiest shots possible though...go figure! In fact, I had these flesh-colored pasties on and they really pushed the limit with those in a couple shots, but it's all good.

Vegas baby! Yeah, had another trip there with Trashy. I swear, I go there way too much and every time I'm there, I end up sick when I get home! It really is Sin City...

I shot for Hot Boat magazine at Lake Elsinore...looks like I'll be featured in the upcoming August issue.

I shot with Steve Shaw for Spike TV...not sure when or if that will go up, but the shots were definitely hot!

I had a total of 4 shoots this month with Sinful. I'm considering just moving into the warehouse.

My little hairless wonders, Tsuki Lu and Copper Penny, are on their way to becoming famous rockstar doggies! They will be on display for the next month in Anoush Abrar's photo exhibition at Aftermodern in San Fran. I'm so excited for them...oh, and myself too. They're so cool like dat. My apologies to my poor cat Kiki Willow for not making the cut. Oh, and my turtle Snapper too. No worries though...I'll make it up to them.

When: April 11-May 12
Where: Aftermodern, 445 Bryant Street, San Fran, 94107

One of my favorite shoots of the year was with Ray Gutierrez at Karl Sandoval's shop. For any of you metal fans out there, Karl is the man who handmade Randy Rhoads's famous polka dot Flying V. The man is a legend! His guitars are all custom made and they are gorgeous pieces of art. One of the guitars we shot with was a replica of Randy's guitar and I was seriously ready to steal it by the end of the shoot. I think Karl was getting a bit nervous that I actually would. He and his son were a pleasure to work with and I hope to someday own one of his guitars. Check out the shots in my portfolio section.

I spent much of this month learning how to deal Texas Hold 'em...just somethin' else I was interested in learning.

Worked a golf tournament for Budget/Avis. I can admit that I really don't know shit about the game. I never made it past Putt-Putt!

I worked an event for Vince Neil's new tequila, Tres Rios. It was actually some really good shit! I'm a fan of Tequila so I had to do the taste test and it passed with flying colors. I left with a couple bottles, of course. Vince and his tequila were cool to work with.

I started off the month taping a segment for TBS Weekend Extra on Sinful clothing, my favorite rocker clothing line.

I hosted a segment for webridestv.com at Crystal Cove in Irvine, California...good ol' OC. I had to get up super early for that, but somehow I managed to pull it off! There were a bunch of classic cars at this event and I'm a big fan of them so it was all good.

Shot an infomercial for Physicians Formula Mineral Wear cosmetics. I'm sure it's aired, but I've yet to see it. Maybe it's one of those late night ones that comes on after Girls Gone Wild or something...Ha!

Shot with Fernando Escovar at a studio that shoots flames...pretty cool shit! At first, it felt like my hair was getting singed off, along with every other hair on my body, visible or not, but then I quickly got used to the heat. I'm always up for a unique experience and this one definitely was.

Worked the RCX show at the Pomona Fairplex for Kyosho...they make radio-controlled everything, from cars to helicopters. They had a track at the show for racing the mini cars and I was kicking some serious ass!!! By the end of the show, I was considering becoming a pro driver.

Hurry and pick up the March issue of FHM! It's their final issue! It will definitely be a collectible, since the U.S. edition of the magazine has closed it's doors for good. You'll find me in there with sex kitten Jenna Jameson and some hot Trashy Lingerie models. I've been waiting waaaay too long for this issue to come out and I'm so glad the wait is finally over! I just want to thank Trashy Lingerie, photographer Frank Ockenfels, FHM, and last, but certainly not least, Jenna Jameson for making this shoot so amazing!

I worked a Superbowl party in Vegas at the Playboy Club in the Palms. That was the first time I had been there and I have to say that I love the decor in that place! The girls and I did our own mini-photoshoot in there. We couldn't help ourselves!

I attended the Mardi Gras party at the Playboy Mansion. It was slightly eventful with a bit of drama...let's just keep it at that! Food was amazing, of course!

Worked the Project show in Vegas for Sinful clothing. It's always nice to work shows that serve alcohol. You just can't beat it!

I attended a couple Oscar parties with the girls, the Us Weekly one was definitely the best. I tried very hard to behave myself and I think I actually did for once.

I ended the month with another Trashy Lingerie shoot...great way to close out February!

Shot a segment for Telemundo on Classified Cosmetics, a line of airbrush cosmetics...cool products.

NAMM was crazy as always! I worked the Schecter booth again with my favorite Jager tap machine upstairs. The whole show was a blur, but that's a good thing! It's hard to believe that was my 6th show with them...or maybe my 7th? I can't keep track anymore...

I survived yet another crazy Trashy Lingerie trip to Vegas. It was crazy as always...we were nonstop, tearin' up the clubs.

I had a bunch of fittings and shoots for Sinful's new line. They are coming out with their own high-end denim line soon. I can't wait!!! No more jeans shopping for me! Hell yeah!

I worked for a day at the LA Auto show for Lotus. Those cars are fucking badass! I want one!!!

Filmed another day of MANswers, more crazy skits to laugh at myself in. I hear it's coming out next fall so we'll see...

Worked another charity event, this time at the Playboy Mansion. Sarah Silverman and Artie Lange performed...can't remember who else. I swear though, they always have the yummiest food there!!!

Had a signing for the upcoming release of my Holiday Benchwarmer cards. It's weird how little I actually pick up a pen and write these days and it really showed by the end of that signing. My hand was dying!!! I much prefer a keyboard. Is there a way I can just type my autograph?

I attended the VGA's with some of my fellow Benchwarmer models and Brian, the owner. I don't have time to play video games any more, but I was definitely an addict back in the day. My family and I would go to the mall and my Dad, bro, and I would hit the arcade while my Mom shopped. My how things have changed! If only I were hitting the arcades rather than the damn Bebe store!

Barry Smith shot me for an upcoming feature for Savvy.com. I brought my favorite guitar to that shoot, one that rarely leaves the house because it's the 2nd guitar I ever owned. I'll let ya know when that comes out...

I shot for a campaign for an Italian hair color product line called DaVinci. I am featured on their homepage at davincicolor.com. What do you think of the short hair?

The Holiday Benchwarmer party kicked ass! It doubled as a charity event for Toys for Tots, complete with snow! Yes, snow in California!!! I did some interviews for younghollywood.com in a sexy Santa costume, while chugging down a few and hanging out with friends. Oh, it's so fun getting paid to party! See me live in action, freezing my ass off in my tiny little Santa costume! Ain't nothin' like it, baby!!!

I shot a little segment for a pilot...an interview and photo shoot. Not sure what's gonna happen with that, but if I hear anything, I'll let ya know!

Ended the month with a Sinful shoot. I swear I wear either Sinful or Affliction every day. It's the most comfy rocker clothing out there, hands down.

Had another great shoot with Trashy Lingerie! I can always count on having fun shooting there...never a dull moment!

I shot once again for Sex Symbol, a company I've been working with for a few years now. They make really cute clubwear and are great people to work with.

Worked a charity event for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Orange County with a shitload of models that I know. It's always cool to show up to a job and see a ton of familiar faces...can't beat that!

I was painted at Area for Mark Frazier's birthday. They painted lingerie on me. I can't remember what it looked like though...my bad!

ANYONE had a gig at Detroit in Orange County. We hadn't played in a while so it was an amazing feeling getting back on stage. It was a great night! Thanks to all that came out to see the show!

I went to the AMA's for the first time. It was an amazing show with lots of great live performances, plus plenty of alcohol for me to drink during the breaks! The best part was seeing Federline get boxed up and thrown into the water.

I shot a couple more days for MANswers, the Spike TV show coming out sometime next year...so tasteless, yet so right! We filmed tons of skits so I look forward to checkin' it out.

I started off the month with another shoot for Sinful, my favorite clothing company. They rock! I have another full page shot for them in Tattoo Mag's December issue that's on stands now. It's the inside cover...cool. I'm also in there somewhere else so see if you can find me, if you're bored, that is.

I did a 2-day shoot for Colleen Kelly Designs. She makes some extremely tiny super cute swimwear! We stayed on a ranch in a tiny little town called Hemet. It was in the middle of nowhere, but it was actually nice to get away from the city life. On the first night, we sat by the fire roasting marshmallows and making smores, one of my fav desserts. The next day we shot on a boat out on the lake in our little microscopic bikinis. Check out her line at sexyswimwear.com.

I worked a charity event at Etiwanda Gardens with a bunch of other models. We were blackjack dealers for the night. Yeah, jack of all trades, master of none!

Oh shit, I just found out yesterday that I was on the Girls Next Door again so I decided to watch it. It was the last few seconds of the show and I was dancing on stage with Kendra pretty much grinding on me...hilarious! It's the "Girls will be Ghouls" Halloween episode and I was in body paint again, but this time my "costume" was a purple corset, complete with Black Widows and a web covering my, well, I'm sure you can guess. As you probably know, I love spiders so that was one of my fav costumes. At first, they were just going to be these big spiders that resembled tarantulas, but I had them slim the bodies down and add the red hourglass to turn them into Widows. It was my favorite body paint costume ever!

I shot for the Halloween episode of Access Hollywood for a feature on Trashy Lingerie's Halloween costumes. I was dressed as a Leather Pirate and Little Red Riding Hood. It was cool being on a show that I actually watch. Trashy rules!

Too many Halloween parties this year! After all the partying, it took a week for me to recover...literally! I might officially be an alcoholic now. First was the Rockstar Energy Drink party at Prince's old house. It was a good time. I wore a turquoise suede Trashy Lingerie Indian costume, complete with a tomahawk, which I eventually lost. The next night was the Playboy Mansion party, which was fucking amazing!!! This was the first time I attended an official "Hef" party as a guest and not as an employee. I've always been body painted over the past 4 years, and believe me, sometimes when you're paid to party, you forget that you're actually working. I can't believe how much fun I had as a guest! I had to recycle the same outfit from the night before, but it was a whole new crowd so I think I got away with it. The last party was for Benchwarmer. I thought I would be too hung over to enjoy myself, but I ended up having a friggin' blast there too! I recycled my outfit again, but I don't think I got away with it this time. I don't think I cared at this point either.

On top of that, I even survived working the Coffin Case Fashion Show at the Key Club. That thi rocked! I hammed it up on the runway. First I was a Geisha, complete with a beer hiding behind my fan, then I walked out with a guitar in a bat costume.

I was featured in another full-page ad for Sinful. This time in November's Issue Of Tattoo Savage on newsstands now.

Some fellow Trashy Lingerie models and I shot with the boys from Jackass for FHM's October issue, but they cut the girls out of all the shots except a small little side shot of me on the Table of Contents page...nothing to write home about. All good though because the entertainment factor made it well worth the while and I got paid, of course! Some highlights: Steve-O lit his head on fire, Chris Pontius and I played guitar, and Knoxville took off halfway through the shoot without telling anyone.

Speaking of Trashy, a few of us Trashy girls flew out to Vegas to party at the Mirage for the weekend...wild as always. We hung out at Tangerine one night and Pure the next. As usual, we had on Trashy's signature hot pink lingerie.

I worked the Lingerie Bowl Kickoff party at Les Deux, and no, I'm not one of the players. God forbid I injure these guitar-playing hands of mine!

Artist Dave Nestler's new painting, "Miki's School of Rock" is finally complete!!! Woooooohoo! We started brainstorming for this piece almost a year ago and it's so awesome to see it finally come to life. It turned out amazing, as all of his pieces do. This is the second installment in the Miki Schoolgirl Series, the first being "Miki's Final Exam," which was a huge success and graced the cover of his sketchbook "Bad Girls Drawn Nicely," as well as being featured on stickers, dogtags, and even several tattoos. I guarantee you'll be seeing this one around too in the near future...

I had an amazing body paint gig at the historic Pantages Theater. That place is absolutely gorgeous! I was blown away. It was for some rich guy's birthday. Mark Frazier painted me as a geisha, complete with gold foil and a beautiful red dragon on the back of the painted obi belt. The birthday boy had showgirls perform and even girls dressed as birthday cakes. It was the most decadent birthday party I have ever seen.

I will be featured on a new show that should be airing eventually on Spike TV called MANswers. They had me do all the obnoxious skits, of course, the best of which had to do with dying and a toilet. You know I volunteered my ass for that one, literally!

I worked the Olympia show in Vegas for Vyotech & Benchwarmer and let me tell you that was definitely the most disturbing show I've ever worked! All the meatheads walk around all stiff with their arms bulging out trying out protein samples and farting all over the place! It was weird, man. I also saw a bunch of women like the ones from the 80's with the leather skin that are so pumped full of roids that they look like dudes. It was awesome!

I was featured in a full-page ad for Sinful Clothing in the October issues of Tattoo Magazine, Savage Tattoo Magazine, and Alternative Press on newsstands now.

I went to the Coffin Case fashion show and almost got in a fight! Oh, just like the old days in the Midwest. Stupid girl shoved her way in front of me to watch the show and thought that I was just going to stand there and let her! Luckily, I had my Jager shots for the evening and just shoved my way back to my spot, after a stare-down and exchange of harsh words.

I shot for Kawasaki's catalog. I had on the total riding gear that felt good for the first few minutes, then felt like I was suffocating towards the end. The shit was claustrophobic and I couldn't walk in those damn shoes! I survived though.

I shot for Benchwarmer again...shot a bunch of different cards that are probably for sale on Ebay right now. They turned out really cute!

Attended another Benchwarmer party. They are always these huge model reunions. I had so much fun that the night flew by and before I knew it the lights came on and the place was shutting down. I hate it when that happens!

I ended up getting called back to shoot Las Vegas again. It was a very fleeting scene, but surprisingly, people still recognized me. I played one of the strippers (yeah, nice!) that escorted Mitch to the wedding. He was a very cool guy both times I worked with him...loved to talk and was super polite and cool.

Had another body paint gig at the Mansion, a private party again. Most of them are meat markets, quite the opposite of what Hef's parties are. The guys that attend aren't used to seeing girls in paint so we have to stay in packs or who knows what will become of us!

Oh, yes, it's that time of year again for one of my all-time favorite gluttonfests, The OC Fair! I managed to eat my way through it fairly well. I composed a list for you...

1. Giant Turkey Leg
2. Corn Dog
3. BBQ Corn
4. Fried Artichoke Hearts
5. Fried Avocado
6. Fried Twinkie
Oh, almost forgot...
7. Cinnamon Roll

I was on Playboy Radio again, this time with my buddy Lauren McDonald. We had a pretty hardcore pillow fight. We were really trying to hurt each other, which was nice. I know deep down inside that I won, but they dubbed her as the winner and it's only because she flashed them! That cheating biotch!

My friend April and I drove out to Vegas to work a couple events for the weekend. We talked the whole way there. Anyone that takes a road trip with me, will know that I never shut up. By the end of the trip, I will have told my whole life story and so will they.

I shot for Sik World, a really obnoxious clothing company. That's all I have to say about that...Ha!

I was painted again by Mark Frazier for the Kandyland party at the Playboy Mansion. I was a butterfly with the Frazier Arts logo stenciled on my lower back like a tramp stamp...Ha! My hair was amazing! They put blonde and red extensions in to form the shape of a butterfly. Everyone loved it! A bunch of my girlfriends were there so it made the party that much more fun!

I shot with my regulars, Trashy Lingerie and Sinful this month...always a pleasure.
