I've lost my voice - the past few days have been less than productive, with a cold kicking my ass. Either way, I'm off to South Beach, Miami for rest, relaxation, and a sun tan. Chris and I haven't gone on a vacation in a while; with both our works intensifying with the holiday season...

Lucky him, we get to visit his awesome condo-living, chef-caliber partying parents, on Spring Break weekend, for my birthday, topless Nikki Beach with a girlfriend who has to keep her mouth shut due to laryngitis.

I just don't want tan lines. And two words: WET WILLIES

As you can see by the picture, last time we were there was quite a few years ago - I was just back from Italy and still with butt lengthed natural blonde hair.

In other news, had a great time in New Jersey last weekend performing with the 'Midnight Surgeons' Repo Shadow Cast. Many photos and vids can be found online - or if you haven't yet, friend me on Facebook ("RockLove"), and amuse yourself looking through my tagged photos.

The cast consists of all my favorite east coast Repo krew, and frequently I reflect on how lucky I am to have found such a tight knit group of friends. Never have I had such a large support network of like minds - it couldn't have come at a more perfect (vulnerable, stressful, needy, overworked) time in my life.

Studs Collection has been coming along but was delayed by this week of illness...

Need to write a RockLove Newsletter, post Phililp Warner's latest modeled photo of the Anthology Collection, and another blog about my latest collaboration with the novel "Palimpsest"... I think I'll do it from the beach!

Oh and finally - honorably I was made an official "Girls of Steampunk" member! Huzzah!
