LOVE in Las Vegas

Hello Lovelies,

I know I have been MIA for the past week... but that is because I was on vacation in the lovely

LAS VEGAS

Avi & I went with another friend couple of ours. We stayed at the Mirage Hotel, which also hosts The Beatles LOVE Cirque du Soleil Show.

The show was AMAZING! The entrance to the show was also lots of fun. They have this technicolor runway, that my friend Mel & I had fun walking down, dressed up for the town.

Below is a small video I put together of the footage I have of us walking the Beatles Runway. I tried to be a bit creative with it. Please enjoy watching ! :-)

A little lingering LOVE

Hello Lovelies!

So, how was everyone's Valentine's Day?

Did you all get lots & lots of

LOVE

CANDY

I got a chance to try out baking those yummy cake truffles!

and

How about

CARDS

I had my students color some "I Love Music" Valentine's Day Pictures for their parents...

to the tune of Lion King's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight".

They had alot of fun being creative with the crayons

expressing each line to the movement of the music.

What about...

FLOWERS

I felt like the luckiest girl in the world, when I got home from work to find a magickal box waiting on my doorstep!! And what was inside!?!?

A Vibrant Bouquet of the most beautiful fragrant daisies!!

Which found a home on my bedroom window sill

and last but certainly NOT least...

What about

Hello Lovelies...

SO all of these unfinished projects have crept on on me, and so has Valentine's Day! I am so ashamed that I have not had the time to throw together any sort of V-Day Craft project, but life is so crazy lately... ( crazy in a good way! busy busy busy!)

BUT , alas.. i did want to do a post for Valentine's Day. So here it goes... I had originally got the idea from PinkKisses.com. They sell these really amazing Birthday Cake Batter Chocolates, and I figured , how hard can these be to make myself ?!? ( They were TO DIE FOR , By the way) ... so I just HAD to share this recipe ( I actually found on another site!) The recipe I found on the site is a bit different, but actually more fitting for Valentine's Day , since they used Pink Strawberry Cake Mix. But this should work with any boxed cake mix. I CANNOT wait to finally try this recipe! Enjoy this one as well!

Recipe Courtesy of How Sweet Eats

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cake Balls

makes about 40 1-inch balls

1 box Duncan Hines strawberry cake mix, prepared and baked

1 1/2 cups cream cheese frosting (homemade or 1 can of prepared)

6 ounces high quality white, dark or milk chocolate (I often use Ghiradelli or Lindt)

additional pink food coloring if desire (I used a drop for a more pink look)

sprinkles, decorations, etc

Prepare cake batter and bake as directed. I often use a 9 x 13 cake pan as I find this is easiest.

Once cake has cooled, scoop it out of the cake pan and into the bowl of an electric mixer. Add frosting and mix on low to medium speed until a pink dough forms. This can also be done by hand, but may not be mixed as well and will take longer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Roll in 1-inch balls and place on parchment paper laying on a sheet pan. Freeze the balls for at least 1 hour. Right before removing, melt chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave (if in the microwave, melt in 30 second increments until melted completely). Using a fork, dip balls in chocolate and gently flip it around, just until coated. Lift it out with the fork, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Decorate as desired, refrigerating immediately after for at least a few minutes.

We like these best chilled, but they can also be kept at room temperature.

and all the single ladies?

No worries... You can still treat yourself this Valentine's Month , to a Pinup Class with Bettina May! This just goes to show that any lady can make herself feel sexy, even when there's no man in the picture!

My Birthday: Boobies, Bowling, & Booze!

Hey Lovelies,

I know I have been absent in the wonderful world of blogging for a couple months now... but the only excuse that I have is that I have been so busy doing awesome things... For today's blog entry, I wanted to share with you , all of the fun that I had on my 27th Birthday!

First of all, if any of you readers live in New Jersey , and you have never been to Asbury Lanes, you should really make the trip , because it is a BLAST ! It is a bowling alley/music venue, and they also have other fun stuff like Burlesque shows every so often, and there just so happened to be one the weekend before my birthday.

I just HAD to get to this, I have been wanting to go to one there for the longest time, and no one can say no to you on your birthday ;-)

Asbury Lanes is probably one of my favorite places in Asbury Park. When you walk in, you just get transported back to the 1960s... I don't think this place has changed since it was first established! Enjoy some pics from my birthday, Photos courtesy of Avi, and I edited the colors and contrast a bit :-)

Enjoying some vintage bowling :-)

Avi setting up his strike !

Me in action! :-B

Me and my cousin Danielle

Thank you Joe, John, & German for the birthday drinks!!

3 Vodka Tonics for the Birthday Girl!

Alot of damage to be done, and the night is still young, hehe ;-)

The Crew

And Joe having WAY too much fun being a little princess with my tiara...

ATTENTION EVERYONE , THE SHOW IS STARTING !

Please welcome our first lady of the evening,

Aurora Natrix

And for our next most talented daredevil,

Miss Heather Holliday

She breathes fire, and swallows swords the entire length of her torso!

Don't make any sudden movements !!

Everyone Give Miss Holliday a big round of applause!

Next up, she's tiny, but she sure packs a punch!

LITTLE MISS FIREFLY

Dancing on Glass!

Now the moment we've all been waiting for!

Our show starlet,

Miss GO-GO AMY

OHHH SHOCKING!

And for their last trick

Ta-Da!!

Even Go-Go Amy's Dog Scraps is a part of the show !

Of course, a show is not a show without some silly audience participation. And of course my friends would not let me get out of this one !!

The show host Donny Vomit , called me up on stage!

Little Miss Firefly was a doll enough to take a picture with Marie and I after the show!

All in all, this show was such a blast! I'm so glad to all who made my 27th a fun one to remember!

For those of you interested in catching a Pretty Things Peepshow near you, check out Go-Go Amy's site as well as Pretty Things Productions!

Have fun!

Pink Kisses - Get over that shitty ex bf with a little help from these gals, and your friends :-D

Hey Lovelies, and Ladies,

UPDATE AS OF 2/16/14
PINK KISSES IS NOW JUST 
http://www.mediabombshell.com

Yea yea, I know ... I've been SO MIA , but the holidays have consumed me!! First it was my birthday, then Christmas, then a snow storm, then consoling a friend through a tough breakup, then New Years! One after the other , bang bang bang... It was a blast, but boy am I glad it's over so then I can get on with my priorities, and do what I need to do to start this new year off the right way!

I am working right now to edit a lot of photos so you can oogle at all of the fun I've been having the past month or so... But in the meantime I wanted to share with you , a few fun finds!

The past week or so my dear friend Marie, has gone through a bad breakup. So I have been doing what I can to help get her through this tough time. Low and behold as I was indulging in my daily facebook addiction, when one of those little sidebar ads , finally came in handy!

It said something along the lines of "Help your friend get through a breakup" ... so I thought it was quite coincidental. I didn't even hesitate to click this ad, and it brought me to this fun little page:

PINK KISSES

our mission

"To help women forget their ex and find their inner badass. We offer goodies to make you smile (like our “kiss him goodbye” virtual gift where you upload a photo of your ex and watch it burn) & others to help you get real, get over it and – if you feel like it – reinvent yourself (like our Betty Action Plan, with daily steps emailed your way). We want to change women’s lives by helping them recognize their own strength and accept their independence as part of a big, awesome adventure."

I thought this was an awesome way to help Marie out, so I checked out some of the goods they had to offer. In the PK Boutique, they offer all sorts of goodies to help any girl forget her ex and find her inner badass. You can choose as many as you want & put together a sweet little bundle. They offer chocolates, flowers, life coaching, stylists, pin up photo shoots, text messages and emails to remind you how awesome you are, and that you don't need a man to feel good about yourself!

So I chose 30 days of pick-me-up emails to remind Marie how awesome she is every single day, and some "Better than Sex Chocolates"... cuz sometimes chocolates are just way more satisfying than a man's touch :-P

So I placed my order, and the goods will be sent right to Marie's door...

I told her what I did, and sent her the site link, cuz just reading the blog alone is enough to make any girl realize that she is not alone in the nasty world of breakups and shitty ex boyfriends...

Now I must go get ready for the gym, because we are doin a kickboxing class tonight to get rid of all that negative energy, and to tape her ex bf's face to a punching bag :-)

Check out PinkKisses.com for more info and breakup care packages!

Later Gals!

Much Needed Month Off but alot of band stuff going on !

Hey Lovelies!!

I know I have been MIA all month long, but it was very much needed after all of my stressful but very fun month of October! All of the Halloween prepping and blogging had me sooooo exhaustes! I have taken off from the blogging scene for the month of November, but it has been a very busy real life for me, nonetheless. My band Stelladeora has been prepping all month long for our first ever acoustic show on December 1st! We have been practicing 3x a week, and it still feels like we are so unprepared. I'm sure things will be fine, things always seem to come together last minute, or under the pressure of watching eyes, but that anxiety is still there.

Well I just wanted to share some of the stuff we've been working on. Here is a sticker I designed to hand out at our upcoming shows...

Also here is a little doodle that I did in my sketchbook... It is a hot air balloon because our song "Magnetic Poetry" is about a man who takes his lover up on a hot air balloon ride,in a secret plan to throw her to her death because she couldn't be with him due to a mental disorder. He throws her to the ground only to find out that she had put a note in his pocket saying that she is now being treated for her illness and they can finally be together. He screams to himself "WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!" Here is our Hot Air Balloon logo that we are now using on our website

This drawing was done in Ink, water color, color pencil , and the hot air balloon stripes was a napkin I collaged onto the drawing. This image I am working on to put onto some band merchandise which will be available to purchase on our webstore in the near future. Our bass player Ryan also had the idea to make die cut magnets with our "Magnetic Poetry" balloon , lol how fitting !

Also, speaking of Magnetic Poetry, Hollywood Girl decided to use our track again for Quinn's Video Log!

And one last bit of band news! We are competing in Converse's Get Out of the Garage Contest!
