I went to Vegas! I had a Tim with me! It was a long drive! I was really excited! I still am, can you tell?!!?!
*ahem*

Any­way. It was my first time in the city of sin, and dudes, I can’t wait to go back.
I shot a ton of video of shiny things, which you all will see in due time (i.e. when­ever I get a chance to edit it).
Until then, there are a cou­ple tiny pre­view stills:

Vegas Neon

Oh bel­la­gio lobby! How I wish your beau­ti­ful flower sculp­ture wasn’t ruined by hor­ri­ble Christ­mas dec­o­ra­tions (not pictured).

Although, the Christ­mas stuff wasn’t all bad– this is us in the reflec­tion of a giant Christ­mas present that was dec­o­rated to look like a disco ball!

We stayed at the Venet­ian, and hon­estly, I can’t think of any rea­son I would ever stay any­where else.
The entire place was filled with murals and gold leaf, with­out an over­load of lights and bad car­pet­ing– the trade­mark tack­i­ness present in most of Vegas.

I mean, there are gon­do­liers, peo­ple. Who doesn’t like gondoliers?!?

They also had a restau­rants with bath­tubs full of rose petals with can­dles. Sadly, you aren’t allowed to get in them.
This, my friends, is a TRAVESTY.

Also at the Venet­ian was Madame Tussard’s wax museum, where you’re allowed to touch and pho­to­graph the fig­ures pretty much any way you like.

Prince & I are BFF, in case you were wondering.

Sammy Davis Jr. is also a close pal.

That said, Lib­er­ace and I go back pretty far, and clearly he is my best home­boy at Madame’s place. He even let me molest his disco piano– that’s how tight we are.

Before we left, we went and got the best frozen cus­tard on the planet at Luv-it custard.

The dude with glasses in this photo gave Tim a flower that he has clearly pulled out of the ground some­where and pointed at me saying:

You know what her name is? Queen! Model! God­dess! You know what your name is?!? LUCKY MAN!
I got to admit, I’m an alco­holic, but I get hun­gry too. Help me out? 

We ended up giv­ing him a cou­ple bucks, and he made us bow our heads as he said a prayer for our safe travel home.

& travel safely we did, despite a 10 hour drive and SNOW for a whole sec­tion of mid-California.
Was it worth the drive?

ABSOLUTELY.

Pentax K-x love

I got a new cam­era.
Not just any cam­era, but the Pen­tax K-x, in RED.

Pentax K-x love

I’ll be doing a proper Cute Tech review of it once I get a chance to shoot with it for a lit­tle while.

Pentax K-x love

Mostly I just wanted to tell you how excited I am.

Thurs­day was the open­ing of the OMG Pwn!es group show that I was in, at Sequen­tial Art Gallery in Port­land!
I was super sad to not be able to attend, but from the pic­tures, it looks like it was a great time.

I was espe­cially pleased that my pony sold within the first hour of the open­ing.
It also went to the same peo­ple that pur­chased my friend Myrrh’s pony, as well as my friend Mary-Suzanne’s pony.
Now they won’t get lonely!

The gallery hasn’t taken up close shots of indi­vid­ual ponies just yet, but I’ll be sure to make a post with my pony once it’s been photographed.

In the mean­time, can you guess which one is mine??

Thanks to every­one who came out to the opening!!
