So I was going through some old video content on my computer and came across this little gem. This was taken a few years ago by a friend while vacationing in Cabo and I had meant to post it immediately on my blog but for some reason forgot. It’s short but sweet! Enjoy!

I just got back from a week-long vacation in NYC and I’m sick. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later because it seems like everyone is getting it right now. I usually get sick around Thanksgiving so I’m not really surprised. By being in NYC, I probably increased my chances because I was taking public transportation everywhere (subway, cabs) and being on a plane all the way across the country is always a risk…it’s like a germ capsule! Anyways, I’ve been taking it easy and working on my laptop in bed…trying to let my body rest and fight this bug as fast as possible. Good thing is it’s giving me the chance to catch up on my blog writing!

I did want to talk about being on the Howard Stern show last month. I’ve been waiting a very long time to get on the show and I was thrilled when Penthouse asked me to be on the show to participate in the annual Penthouse Pet Pageant. They chose three of us to go on the show…me, Isis Taylor the September 2010 Pet and Sabrina Maree the December 2010 Pet. I had never met either girl so it was nice to meet some more fellow Pets. I flew in the day before the show and didn’t land in NYC until about 9pm. Sabrina and I shared a room so we got to know each other a little and bonded a bit. We had to be up really early…not only did we have to be ready to leave the hotel at 6:30am…but that was really 3:30am to us since we just flew from the west coast! We only got a few hours of sleep but we were total pros!

Being on Stern was better than I expected. People were painting this picture of Howard and the show as being a little aggressive towards the girls. But I didn’t find that to be true whatsoever! Everyone on the show was SO nice and super cordial to all of us. I had a great time and can’t wait to see the copy that they sent me! For the pageant, every girl has to do an audible talent portion…it has to be audible since the show is a radio show. I was initially asked if I could sing or play a musical instrument…neither of which I can really do. I hate singing and it’s been years since I played an instrument. So I got to thinking and came up with the idea of writing a poem about Howard and the show. This way it was still an audible talent yet I didn’t have to sing or play something. I didn’t have a lot of time prior to the show to write my poem, so I did my research the day before I left to NYC and then actually wrote the poem on the plane! I’ll post the poem later for you all to read…I have to find where I put it!

I didn’t win…Sabrina won. But I did come in second place! At least Robin voted for me…us big boobied women stick together! After our appearance on Stern we cruised over to the Luis Jimenez show for a bit. That show is crazy but TONS of fun! It’s a Spanish speaking program but they just translated what we said for the listeners. I did take three and a half years of Spanish back in school, but my conversational Spanish is just not that great! Isis had to leave after that since she was headed to Exotica NJ, so me and Sabrina visited the Penthouse offices and then went to lunch. Thankfully we were able to take a nap in the middle of the day, as we had two more radio shows to do that night. I went to dinner with Lainie, Penthouse’s publicist, that evening and then Sabrina met up with us for the last two shows. We were guests on The Derek & Romaine Show as well as The Scott Ferrall Show…both are shows on Sirius Radio. The former is a gay/lesbian show, which was a lot of fun…and the latter is a sports show and Scott is hilarious! He even wore my bra on his head for a portion of the show!

All in all I had a great time! I love representing Penthouse and really enjoy doing radio. It was a very short trip but a lot was crammed into that small frame of time. Can’t wait to do it again!

I was just going through some old photos the other week and I came across these short little videos taken with my point & shoot camera while at Oktoberfest in Munich. This was my first trip to Oktoberfest, which was in September 2008. Like I said, they’re short…but I think you’ll like them!

Time sure flies by! I really hate that I don’t write on here enough…but with all the additional facets of technology, I feel like I already write so much on a day to day basis that I just end up repeating myself over and over again. Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, my weekly live shows, my message board on my site, then this blog…too much to keep up with! Sure, if I didn’t do anything other than shoot, then I would have plenty of time. But with running websites, time is limited. I’m really going to make an effort with this because going two and a half months without an entry is ridiculous. So let’s play some catch up here…

As some of you know, my birthday just passed…it was exactly three weeks ago from today. I’m now 28…that much closer to 30! I don’t fear getting older and I’m not one to try and fight it. It’s inevitable and a part of life…I feel we should all embrace it. I started the birthday festivities early this year. At the end of September I went to Munich, Germany for three days of Oktoberfest. I went last year and it was so much fun that I had to go again this year. I have to pay respects to my heritage! Here are a couple photos from Oktoberfest…

First Night at Oktoberfest

Second Night at Oktoberfest

After Munich I went to London. I’d never been to London and had been wanting to go for a very long time. Plus I have a good friend who lives there so I thought why not go and visit and kill two birds with one stone. I was there for 6 days and it was a blast. Definitely not a relaxing vacation though. It was one of those vacations where you’re constantly moving and going somewhere because there’s just too much to see in London. I saw The Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace, saw Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, rode the London Eye, went to the London Dungeon, took the Jack the Ripper tour at night, walked across the Tower Bridge, shopped at Harrod’s and Selfridges and spent A LOT of time walking around the city. I also ate amazing food at some amazing restaurants…most of them high above the city with amazing views! Unfortunately we planned on going to the Tower of London our last day there and they were closing early for some special event. So we missed out on the one thing we REALLY wanted to see. I’m going to have to make another trip there just to see all that I missed. Here are a few photos from London…

My Birthday Dinner in London on the Thames River at OXO Tower

Needless to say it was a really fun trip. I needed the vacation! I got all my work done before the trip so that I could just enjoy myself and relax…and that’s just what I did! I can’t wait for my next trip to Europe…there’s just so much to experience over there. Now I have to decide where I want to go next that I haven’t been!
