Life, Love, Sex

Ouch!!!!

I got this done last night:

I went into the city yesterday with a friend from class to go see some galleries, and I figured since we were in the city, we should get pierced! (My friend already had like 15 piercings and was wanting to get her eyebrow and monroe re-done). After some galleries we made our way over to St. Mark’s because I wanted to go to this Japanese place called Kenka’s that I was introduced to one night after a Pleasure Salon last year. Oh man it was so yummy. I want to go all the time!! I love Japanese food!

So after I started getting nervous. I originally thought I would get a Monroe piercing, but then I started wondering if I should get the vertical labret because I’d always liked how they looked. Except I knew that really, really hurt. We walked around St. Marks a little bit popping in different shops asking about prices, but ultimately decided to go to W. 4th where my friend new some good shops. We went into one shop and my friend got her eyebrow done there, but they didn’t have the jewelry for either my lip or her Monroe, so we went to a place next door. We lucked out with the next place, in that we found a piercer who really knew exactly what they were doing.

The vertical labret isn’t so common of a piercing so I needed to make sure the person really knew what they were doing.

My friend went first for her Monroe and then held my hand when it was my turn (I always need someone to hold my hand for piercings).

OMG it hurt like a fucking son of a bitch!!!! I still don’t even know how I made it through!!! The needle was intense and then putting in the jewelry was a whole different kind of pain (external threading, bah). And then it was all tingly and swollen. Plus it hurts when I accidentally bump it.

But I did it!! And now I have a new hole in my face.

The jewelry is a bit long right now as it heals, but I can change it to something shorter in a couple of weeks. I think it won’t grow on me until then. I can’t really look at it much because the long jewelry just annoys me.

Man, I still can’t believe I did that!!

God my mom’s gonna flip!! (Probably both because it’s a new face piercing and also because I spent money on it, but it was actually only $25! Nice, right?)

Attention NJ/NYC area readers!

Dear beloved blog readers:

I’m hoping some of you out there can help me with a photo project I want to do this semester.

I want to shoot couples (and plurals) of all varying mixtures.  I have a few friends I’m going to proposition, but I want to get at least 6 couples (or groups), but  I’d be much happier with 8, and ecstatic with 10.  I have ads up on CL, but I’m not sure how good of a response I’ll get there.  So I’ll use this as my ad space too right now.

I basically want to capture my world (my sex positive and amazingly diverse world) and put it on display so others can see how beautiful it is.  Large aspirations, I know.  Well, I’ll just start with capturing it at least.  So with that said I basically want to shoot people all over the sexuality spectrum, gender spectrum, and kink spectrum.  Lesbians (femmes, butches, bois, etc), gay men (twinks, bears, etc (there are so many descriptions and I only know a few)), genderqueers, poly groups, masters and slaves, tops and bottoms, older men with younger girls, older women with younger guys, older couples, younger couples, and any other combinations I can’t think of.

I also want to do a spectrum of shoots from insightful portraits to full on naked, sex, erotic shots (bordering the line of porn I suppose).   I’ll probably work in both digital and film.  I’m still deciding on that.

I’m looking to plan shoots through out the semester (unitl the end of November, early December), but I want to start finding interested people now!

Whatever I shoot is going to be used just for class and potentially my portfolio.  Nothing commercial, no porn sites (I’m not shooting porn as it is).   We’ll do the whole model release thing.  And in the end, you’ll get a copy of the photos!

So if you’re reading this and you’re in the North/Central Jersey/NYC/Southern NY State area and either you’re personally interested or know someone who might be, please please please contact me at avahsascent AT gmail [dot] com.  Feel free to post this or forward this to interested newsgroups, interested parties, or the like.

If you’re responding please include a paragraph or so about you (you as in the people I would be shooting), your general location, general schedule of availability, and levels of comfort regarding nudity and/or sexual explicitness (ie: topless fine, pink not so fine.  Or making out naked fine, full on penetration not so fine, etc).  Also please include clear photos of anyone participating.  Face shots will do, full body is appreciated.  Clothed is just fine.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Gosh they start young

I got catcalled yesterday by grade school boys. Who were on a playground.

“Hey I like my big girls!” the one called to me.
“Aren’t you a little young to be catcalling?” I scolded them, stunning them that I responded.

Weirdest thing ever.
