I am still trying to help my friend Shonna earn some money. When I get back from San Francisco, I will be going over to her house to take some pictures of all the nipple pasties and necklaces she has in stock, so look forward to that. If you just want to donate some money, her paypal is all set up. To fill you in, on February 9th, she found her husband dead on her couch after staying the night at Cody and I's house. January 27th, she had a full knee replacement and is just now beginning to walk with just some pain for the first time since. The house is being taken from her now that she has lived in for fourteen years by her husbands' family for bullshit, stupid reasons and she's currently making no money and has no means to make money. She is in physical therapy and is currently not in the condition she needs to be in to work, so she's making crafts instead and trying to get SSI. If you would like to help or want to buy something, please message me.

Some pictures of some of her necklaces on yours truly:

Hey guys.I've been working like crazy. My shoot for tomorrow canceled on me. Bad news: it's a huge disappointment and all that planning and time I put into planning was a waste. Good news: I don't have to wait until the 22nd to have my day off.

I am sick for the 5th time in 7 months, so I am glad I have a day to recover a little without having to work so hard. I feel gross and couldn't sleep last night. It sucks being sick all the time. Before I got a day job, I only got sick once or twice a year.

Monday, I have two photoshoots, so pictures coming soon! I also have three magazines interested in publishing me in the next few months (hopeful covers) so stay tuned.

Cody and I's anniversary is on the 25th and I still haven't made enough money to pay all the bills, much less to do something particularly special on our special day, so I am doing a 25% off sale on my Etsy until March 22nd. Please check it out: www.etsy.com/shop/vampirelenio… There are paintings, drawings, art prints, and modeling prints. Support a fellow struggling artist. Thank you so much.

I am completely in love with my new home despite how hard it is in Modestos' economy to make what I need to make to survive. I have two citrus trees in my backyard and one that resembles a cherry blossom tree. Every morning, I wake up and walk out to the orange tree, pick myself an orange, and sit in a chair beneath the tree with the view of the pink blossom clad tree right in front of me as I relax and eat the orange. That simple situation in itself is just lovely and serene. I love how silent and calm this place is. How large the room is. We can put our stuff in the livingroom because our house isn't overpopulated and there aren't any parties at all. I enjoy having a roommate who is even more quiet than Cody and I and loves animals just as much as we do. I love the rocking bench on my porch and my neighborhood and that now I live within walking distance of my mother and Codys' mother. Yes! ^.^ I am pleased. I sleep at night now, which I scarcely did at my old house and it's so clean here.We all clean up after ourselves and it's all hard wood floors so once a week, I sweep the house and that's all it takes really.

Yep. Cody and I have a nice little life here. I am thankful for it.

As always, thank you guys for following my work and supporting me as an artist. I appreciate you all.

Here's some new pictures of me in case you have missed them:
