Update


Hey all. So, Ive been quite busy during the days doing absolutely nothing! Evenings are when all of the recordings happen, and Ive been making enough off the gigs and the recording to not have to find work, but I may go look for something to do somewhere, maybe I will volunteer...
Somedays, I feel confident to go outside and explore, and other days I just hide indoors, and vacuum. I think Ive vacuumed this rug 100 times! Im going a bit crazy, not knowing anyone, and being here everyday. I sewed up all the clothes that had holes, and reorganized my closet, and gave a bunch of stuff away to salvation army. Then I went to union square, the other day, to the farmers market. That was really great, I got fresh vegetables, and food. Oh yeah, Ive been doing yoga almost everyday, they told me to stop because I could hurt myself if I push it too hard. I do feel a bit sore from it.. but my voice is strong, Ive been singing everyday. I have another show the end of the month. Its intense, Ive never lived like this, not having to worry about paying rent etc.. OH! and spiro and I had a photo shoot! We shot with the woman, sequoia, one of his friends from nyc. If I havent posted her site already , here it is:

The shoot was fun, the space was kind of cold, and I was a bit sneezy duri9ng the whole thing. A girl spent hours gluing tiny little peices of metal to my face! It was difficult not to laugh through it, spiro and I made it fun by not taking ourselves so seriously. They really dressed us up, the woman wanted my hair to stand straight up! anyway, heres a pic..
in this picture, may hair is covered, but it was standing straight up , I swear,. I was laughing so hard, this pic was taken later when we were getting tired... I thought I looked like sea creature! not sure if you can even see those little metal peices on my face either , but anyway...This is the first shoot for the pics that will go in the album cover, we need to take more with the drummer....
I opened a bank account yesterday, that was something for me to do. But so far, my days are spent singing with headphones on and vacuuming that damn rug in the studio for the hundreth time... miss you all, talk to you soon.

Photo shoot

So, tonight spiro and I had a photoshoot. The images are reallllly out there, I will post some of the pictures when we get them. Kayla did my make up, really well. She spent about two hours gluing tiny pieces of metal to my face and around my eyes. The shoot was being shot by Sequoia, you can find some of her stuff here:

so you can imagine what the shoot came out like, pretty unbelievable stuff. My hair was done up very high with tons of hairspray, not exactly my thing, but it worked once they started taking the pictures. Spiro and I are going to look through the pics tomorrow and figure out which ones are the best. Ill be sure to post them.
Ive been sticking to a strict yoga schedule since Ive been down here, and I dont have many friends, so its easy to spend a lot of my time going to class. It seems like we have a lot of songs and not many are done yet.. and we have two shows at the end of the month.
Nye was incredible, the party was really beautiful and I met a lot of new faces. I was getting tired around 2am though, which is a habit I have to break. its only late nights for me from here on out. ok. Ill write more about it all when I post the pics...very tired...need to rest. miss you all!
