BIG NEWS!! I have launched a NEW OFFICIAL BLOG!! It's what I was working on for the past little while, but I didn't want to say anything and ruin the surprise! :P The truth is this one here on blogspot was just temporary, because I didn't want to keep everyone waiting for too long before I could start blogging again.. and now the wait is officially over! :)

WWW.ANDILANDUNLEASHED.COM - Come Check It Out!!!!! Hope to see each and every one of you there! ;)

Is it Saturday already?!?


Whats up everyone! Wow, I've been having a busy week! :) First the gym, then hot yoga (I seem to be on a bit of a health kick these days..) and lots of work in between! I'm happy to report that I have found a new photographer, actually I found 3! So now I've got a bunch of content to process and edit, and lots more to come.. and I'm looking forward to it! :) I'm also working on something else I hope to be able to show you in the next week or so.. I can't wait!!

Mozart is doing well, still trying to eat any bit of fabric I accidentally leave laying around.. the latest victims were 2 fingers off my gloves, half a sock, and part of a shoelace. But at least he seems very entertained by my screen saver! :P haha


In fact, I think I'll turn on my screen saver right now to keep him occupied while I go shoot a sexy video for my (future) member's blog! ;)

Festival Pics


I got a chance to check out Festival du Voyageur this weekend, (I described it in a previous post - it's basically a local event celebrating French-Canadian culture and heritage.)

There is a lot of re-enactment of the 1700's/1800's- think "Fur Trade days"... here's a pic I took of the blacksmith shop:



There was also an "ice bar"! Instead of glasses or cups, drinks are served in a hollowed out cube of ice - a neat idea, but only as long as you're wearing gloves! I was drinking Bailey's, and it was deliciously chilled! ;) You just can't let your drink sit for too long - or else your cup will start melting! :P



And of course I got some pictures of the snow sculptures! I was disappointed to find out that the ice sculptures were located at a different venue this year - but I'm going to try to check those out too, if I can find time in my busy schedule!


I'm assuming the power company is a sponsor of the Festival.. lol..





And let's not forget those public flashing pictures I promised!! It was really tricky because there were a lot of kids running around - but I managed to get a couple! My labret piercing looks HUGE in the first one, lol.. I got a diamond labret for Christmas, and I guess the flash caught it a little too well in this pic.. it looks weird! But I'm sure most of you won't really be focusing on my chin in these last 2 shots anyway ;)

Be My Valentine... (courtesy of TMJ)


I'm not really crazy about Valentine's Day, (or "Singles Awareness Day" as some of my friends call it!), but I still thought this fanart was cute!

I did some googling and found some interesting Valentine's Day facts and some ridiculous superstitions... here's my Top list:

~ 85% of all valentines are purchased by women
~ Roughly 3% of pet owners will give Valentine's Day gifts to their pets
~ The Italian city of Verona, where Shakespeare's lovers Romeo and Juliet lived, receives about 1,000 letters addressed to Juliet every Valentine's Day.
~ Richard Cadbury invented the first Valentines Day candy box in the late 1800s.
~ If you see a squirrel on Valentine's Day, you will marry a cheapskate who will hoard all your money.
~ In Medieval times, girls ate bizarre foods on St Valentine's Day to dream of their future spouse.
~ Many believe the 'X' symbol (as in "xoxo") became synonymous with the kiss in medieval times. People who couldn't write their names signed in front of a witness with an 'X.' The 'X' was then kissed to show their sincerity.


Whether you love or hate this holiday, I hope it's a good day for everyone! :)

Hey everyone! :)

I know it's only been 2 days since my last "update" post, but I feel the need to update you again! lol. I've been keeping VERY busy these last few days, there's so much I'm just dying to show you!! But it's going to be a SURPRISE! :) I'm very proud of what I've been working on lately, I think you guys will love it just as much as I do.. But that's all I can tell you for now! ;)

Don't worry, I can promise one thing.. you won't have to wait too long!

In other news.. Festival du Voyageur starts tomorrow! :) It's a local 10-day festival celebrating French-Canadian culture, dating back to the "fur trade" days... (don't worry, Mozart will not be traded for anything! :P) There's actually lots of cool stuff at the festival, like concerts, crafts, various exhibits, games and sports... even a "beard growing contest", haha... But my favorite part has to be the ice/snow sculptures! They are so beautiful, I'm sure this year will be no different! I'm not sure which day I'll be able to attend, as I'm pretty booked up these days and keeping so busy.. but I'm definitely going to at least take a half-day off to check it out. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures.. maybe even sneak in a bit of public flashing if I can! ;)

Hope you all have a great weekend :)

Mini Update on Recent Events


First and Foremost... Welcome to my new blog!! :)

It's starting off pretty basic, but improvements will gradually be made ;) I'm excited to be doing this on my own, and even MORE excited to let everyone know that I still plan on making my new site happen! :)

In case some of you haven't already heard the news, I want to take this opportunity to inform everyone that I have decided I could not work with Max and Ariel any longer, for a variety of reasons.

In time, some of these reasons will be shared with you, but given the current circumstances I don't feel that now is that time. However, I will assure you that it wasn't as sudden as it must have seemed, nor was it over any minor disagreement. I know some people have been hoping for a reconciliation, but that is not going to happen. I think I can speak for Max and Ariel as well when I say that door has closed for all of us.

I also want to say, just for the record, that although our partnership has come to an end, I wish them both success and happiness with their future projects.

On another note, I have been looking into a few different options for making my dream of launching andiland.com a reality, and I have already made some progress! :) It's a little bit too soon for me to announce anything further at this point -- don't want to jinx anything! ;) haha

But definitely stay tuned, I will be keeping you all posted! I've really missed hearing from you guys (& girls!) during these last couple of days, so I'm really glad to be starting up this new blog so we can chat here :)
Hope to hear from you soon!! ;)
