This weekend I had my first paid photo shoot. Before that, however, I had a full day of activity on Friday..I had to get the baby up, go get my tax rebate money, go get a tattoo (I'll get a photo up as soon as inhumanly possible), blah, blah, etc, etc..we finally got to Detroit at about 10:30 Friday night, and all I wanted to do at that point was check into the hotel and then relax.
I went to change into pajamas and found that I had had an unfortunate pants mishap..specifically, my pretend leather pants had a big rip right across my butt. Well hopefully someone got a show. LOL. I was less than pleased, but it gave me a great reason to go to Noir Leather the next day.

We had breakfast in the little diner in the Leland, and we found out that they are filming a movie starring Ron Perlman in Detroit. How cool is that? We had wondered because there were all sorts of signs announcing that you Absolutely May Not Park Here from this time to this time on Sunday, and also that the little diner was closing at 2 on Sunday. I thought it was all rather exciting. Especially because they are actually using the diner in some scenes. Too bad I couldn't have sat there eating food on film, eh?

Noir Leather is awesome..I could have gone completely broke in that place. I did get a cute casket clutch and a couple of very nice skirts, but there was a leather flogger in there that I simply drooled over, as well as a plethora of other things that I really, really wanted very badly. Damn. Next time I am armed with a shitload of cash, I know where I am going!
Unfortunately, I didn't get to go to the zoo. But my good friend

and her husband showed up right before my shoot, and that was excellent, because I really had wanted her to be there. They even brought me presents..they're so sweet. I got a mesh top (you can never have too much mesh, in my opinion) and a Marquis de Sade book..I was bouncing around like a crack ridden monkey.

The shoot was awesome, three hours of me being mostly naked in front of two total strangers, which was a lot less uncomfortable than I had anticipated. They were very professional, but very nice, and it was all the way around a really fun experience. I would more than happily shoot with them again. If you happen to come read this, Mark, thank you, to both you and James. You guys are so cool!
After the shoot..food. I eat very lightly before shooting, and I was hungry. So we, in our infinite wisdom, decide to walk to this Chinese place that W found on his phone. Unfortunately, when we got there, it was all boarded up, so we had to walk MORE. I did, however, get to walk by the beautiful Masonic Temple..wow. Such an awesome building. We ate at the casino, and that was the ONLY place in all of Detroit that someone made a snarky remark about the fact that I am goth and wear 5" platform boots. Sigh. He was probably from out of town.

We walked back, collected the lovely

and then went to club..which was awesome! Thanks to the wonder of the internet, I have been making friends with several awesome Detroit goths, and I met several of them on Saturday night. My feet hurt too much to dance, but I did get to cuddle and talk about the emo zombie with W, and if His Spookiness hadn't had a raging headache and had to go upstairs and go to bed, I think I'd have had a perfect night. I very nearly did, but of course my SO sleeping upstairs while I am having fun sort of made the guilt creep in.
This journal entry is horribly long, and there was some more silliness, but I'll write about it later. I hope everyone had a wonderful time this weekend!!

You're totally right about Isis and Christianity. I was actually Catholic for most of my life..decided to go non denominational for awhile..and it still wasn't doing anything for me. I have never felt the love and joy that I do as a pagan. I have been a pagan for about 4 years, and I do not regret it one bit! I am so happy for you for both the dentist thing (I hate teeth, srsly) and the man thing! YOU GO GIRL!! LOL!!!! Have a blessed Beltane!! xxoo

My parents are Asatru, I dunno if I already said that, lol. My nephew is totally all about Thor. Dammit, I can't remember what I last said!
Oh, I mainly just stick to praying to Isis, because She never fails to give me what I need, which is usually not what I've asked for, lol! She's pretty awesome for me. It's like, I was having fits on Tuesday because I couldn't find a dentist open on Saturdays, and I just about gave up and resigned myself to getting an infection in my tooth and just totally crapping out. But all I did was ask Isis, "Please, Mother, help me?" And then my Gramma calls. I'm all like, UGH! I don't want to talk to her, my tooth hurts!!! But I answer the phone anyway and Gramma starts to talk to me about all the happenings going on, and I'm just wishing I could find I dentist and Gramma asks me how I'm doing. I tell her the truth, that my tooth is killing me, and I'm frustrated because I can't find a dentist to help me on Saturday. She asks why I'm waiting until Saturday if my tooth hurts now, and I tell her that I won't have enough money until then to get it out. She just says all matter of fact like, "Well, I'll pay for it." Uh, no! I tell her that she doesn't need to be spending money on me and she just kinda disregards me and says, "Just make an appointment for a dentist for tomorrow and I'll come and get you and take you and pay for it, and you can pay me back when you get the money."
I want to beat my Gramma with a big stick, but when everything's all said and done and the appointment was made, I realized that Isis did help me - she told my Gramma to call me. Because Gramma doesn't call just to call. That's not her way. But she called just to call and Isis told her to, I'm confident in that.
Isis is all the time sending goodness my way, and I'm all the time praising Her and thanking Her and She just totally rocks. She's quite possibly the only Goddess that I've ever felt so close to. That's why I call Her, "Mother" - because I see Her as my Divine Mother. She doesn't seem to mind a bit, either, lol.
That is *SO* AWESOME that Bast helped y'all and then blessed y'all!!! Jeez, the Gods and Goddesses are so awesome to those in need. I never felt any of the closeness and comfort that I do with Isis when I was a Christian. I spent 8 months as a Christian, and those were the worst 8 months of my religious life, easily. I spent a Yule as a Christian (I celebrated Christmas) and I felt so empty and devoid of the usual joy I feel around that time, and it terrified me! I was not used to feeling so empty! That was the turning point, I think. The Christian God just didn't talk to me and help me like Isis does. I will never doubt Her again, I guarantee that.
I hope you have an AWESOME weekend yourself! I'm going to go see Iron Man tonight, before it officially opens... Hee hee! I've got a guy who's interested in me, and he's taking me to see it with the employees at the theater... hee hee!

Wow, you have lots of the Egyptian gods with you..that's awesome! I am largely asatru, Loki is my patron god, and my son is all about Odin..but one time, my cat was sick, and I prayed to Bast to heal him. She did, and then she came and personally blessed us both. THAT WAS FRIGGING AWESOME.
My SO's patron is Thor.
Wow..I'm glad yer doggie is ok..I am the same with my Damian kitty..if something had happened to him, I would have been devastated.

Woo-Hoo for Patron Gods!!! I simply connect with Isis, my own self, the Goddess of 10,000 Names...
Osiris, Nephthys and even Set, though only very rarely for Him, because He tends to get a big head when I offer too much praise, lol. Oh, you should hear my nephew, he adores Thor! Wooticus! My nephew, Trey, mainly likes Thor because He has Mjollnir, His Great Hammer, but I think Trey and Thor connect on several levels. So it works, yep.
Blarg... LOL, the deer here hate everyone, except the people in my house. They adore us, and I haven't any idea why... They do the same thing you described, lol. They just kinda sneak up on us, and they sniff us to see if we've got any food, and then if we do, they ask for it politely (they're terribly polite) and they let us pet on them while they eat whatever we've got, and then they just kind of wander away, in search of more food. However, that being said, they hate my dogs. One mama last year attacked Jake (my little bitchy dachshund) and put a huge gash in her side... Jake had to go to the vet immediately and she had to have the damaged tissue removed and then she had to stay overnight for observation... I was so relieved that she was okay, though... Jake's my little bitchy-poo and I shudder to imagine what life is going to be like without her... I have a very hard time falling asleep if Jake isn't laying right beside me, snoring loudly. I dunno why, but I have to be able to hear Jake snoring really loud in order to get to sleep easily.
