• 2021 Recap!

    December 25, 2021 /

    I enjoy looking back + seeing all the progress I’ve made over the year. It helps me realize that I did in fact actually do things + work toward my goals.

    Sometimes my brain likes to tell me that I’ve done NOTHING + gotten NOTHING accomplished, that I’ve wasted the whole year.

    Does your brain do that to you too?

    Maybe looking back through your year to see all that you’ve done will benefit you too!

  • Virtual Nude Gathering + GBTL events + tattoo update!

    May 1, 2021 /

     

    CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:

    Hi friends! It’s been a while since I’ve done a vlog so I wanted to come on here and say HI! Also the bird wants to say hi too, not sure what kind of bird that is, but hi! It’s so nice outside! I want to make this short because… lots of reasons, but I’ll make this short so… the main things I want to talk to you about are one: virtual nude gathering, the one for this month, er May, is coming up next weekend May 8th at 1pm EST, so if you want to join us, since you’re a member you get to join for free, all you have to do is use code BLMBR when you’re checking out to get your ticket on eventbrite. I’ll have all the links below and I’ll type up that code so you can just copy and paste or whatever you want to do.

    I’m very excited, last month’s, or April’s nude gathering was the first one I opened up to the public and it was AMAZING! There were a dozen of us there and we were from all across the United States, we had people join us from the Netherlands, from Australia, from Germany, from Malaysia. It was amazing, I had a super great time and I got some really wonderful feedback from everyone and the majority of people were like “can we do this for longer next time?” so instead of an hour like last month we’re going to do an hour and a half for this month. So if you want to come, link is down there! Join us I’m so excited!

    The other thing I wanted to talk about was I’ve been doing some updates to my website slowly, like incrementally and I’m really excited because I’m improving the way that all of this is working and everything is going to be looking fancier, so if you notice things are looking different than they used to be that’s because I’m doing updates. I’d love to hear your feedback if you’re having any issues or if you have any questions or if you’re just like “hey this looks awesome” you can email me at bunnyluna@pm.me or you can comment below. Yeah I’m excited!

    I’m really looking forward to spending time with you at the virtual nude gathering! And also, I don’t want to put too many links in here, but Going Beyond the Lens has 2 events every month, we have the art share coming up and the conversation event also. Last month’s events went really well, they were smaller than our usual events and we think that’s because the weather is getting warmer and people want to be outside instead of inside during the weekend on the computer doing an event. So I’d love to hear your feedback on that too if you’re someone who’s been to them and were like, had other things going on or yeah if you wanna see if we can do other dates and stuff. I don’t know, let me know! We’re open to changing things up to make it work for everyone so yeah.

    Uhm what else? Those are the main big things. I’ll have links below for the art share and conversation event for Going Beyond the Lens. The topic this month is femininity so I’m kinda excited and also like… I don’t know, I won’t be presenting at this one because I don’t have a lot to say about… well maybe I do have a lot to say about femininity, but I presented at the last one and we’re taking turns presenting so it’s not all 3 of us presenting every time because that’s kind of unnecessary, especially since we have guest speakers for our conversation events which is wonderful. So yeahhh I’d love to hear your feedback, I hope you’ve been doing good. I’m just really glad that it’s finally getting warm.

    Also! ALSO! My tattoo… all of this! I’m finally finished with all the linework for it. Alex finished up the linework last week on the 22nd and I absolutely love it. So I’ll show you the new stuff! I now have a little dragonfly, this is all new, this is new, this is new, and then the whole top of my back is new. Yayyyyy. So that means that next time we get to start on color!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited yall! Alex is the same artist who did this tattoo, so yeah you know it’s going to be awesome because Alex is awesome and I’m super excited. Cover me in plants, I’m going to turn into a tree! Yay!

    Join me at the virtual nude gathering next Saturday May 8th at 1pm EST. The next 2 weekends are GBTL events, is it the next 2? No, it’s.. there’s a… I’ll put all the dates and stuff below, I don’t remember if they’re all consecutive weeks or not. I think they are? But I don’t have a calendar in my brain.

    So yeah, I love you! Thank you for being here! Your support means everything to me! Yeah I’m so excited to hang out with you virtually and naked! Yay! *mwah*

  • Let’s talk about NUDITY!

    March 27, 2021 /

     

    CAPTION FOR VIDEO ABOVE:

    Hi friends! It’s good to see you again, it’s been a little while. I wanted to come on here to invite you to this weekend’s event for Going Beyond the Lens. If you’re new and you have no idea what I’m talking about, Going Beyond the Lens is an art community that I cocreated with Lior Allay + Roarie Yum. All 3 of us have been in the photography/modeling/art industry for… I believe all of us have been in for over 10 years, so we have a lot of information about that world.

    This community isn’t just for photographers and models, it’s for any creative medium, period. If you make art at all you’re totally welcome to come. Even if you don’t make art and you’re just a fan of art you’re also welcome to come. This community, we host virtual events twice a month. We have an art share on the 3rd Saturday of every month, which was last weekend so that already happened. We have a community conversation that’s on the 4th Sunday of every month, so that’s coming up as of when this posts, it’s coming up tomorrow!

    If you’d like to join us, this month we’re focusing on the topic of NUDITY, so all of the ways in which nudity shows up in art, or doesn’t, there’s a whole spectrum of nude to non nude in art. We wanted to go over nudity and how it’s incorporated in your art, my art, everyone else’s art, so we’re going to have a conversation about that on Sunday, tomorrow, at 1pm eastern. We have a guest speaker that will be speaking about their art and nudity. I’m giving the guest speaker my spot, because usually me Lior + Roarie, we usually talk about the topic a little bit and our art process around that topic, and then we open the floor for everyone to discuss.

    We have 3 speakers and then the rest of the event is just a conversation with the community so everyone is welcome to join in. To make space for the guest speaker, I’ve given up my spot to be a speaker and I will just be there participating, so I’m very excited. I’m going to read off the questions we’re going to focus on right now so you can get an idea of some of the things we’ll be talking about tomorrow.

    The questions are:

    Define your personal experience with nudity whether in your art or life or both.

    How do you distinguish between when nudity is presented in a sexual or nonsexual context?

    What is your intention behind the use of nudity in your work? What does it represent?

    Was there a time you observed controversial usage of nudity (can you describe how it was used and why it felt controversial?)

    I’m so excited to dive into this with yall, very excited, so I would super love for you to join us! It’s a choose your own donation price entry, so it could be a dollar, whatever you want to donate. The conversation tomorrow is donation based, the art shares (the next one is next month) those are free for everybody. The conversation we go more in depth and we are also trying to build the community so having some funds makes it much easier to build, and to pay the guest speaker and all of that. So yeah choose your own donation, you can come for whatever price you feel. I’m very excited and would love for you to join us.

    If you’re curious about some of the nuance of this before going into the event, me and Lior + Roarie have been doing livestreams on instagram around this topic and some of the questions, so if you want to look into some of those before joining the event, I’ll put the links down below. I’ll just put the link to the GBTL account because that’s where all the lives are. That’ll be in the caption below.

    CLICK HERE FOR GBTL INSTAGRAM TO WATCH THE LIVES

    I don’t want to talk about too much in this video because I realize the longer it is the less likely it is for people to read it, because huge blocks of text can be overwhelming, so this is your official invitation to the GBTL conversation event about NUDITY that’s happening tomorrow, so please join us we would love to have you there!

    If you’re a Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color and you are in need of financial help, like if you would like a scholarship to join the event for free, send me an email at bunnyluna@pm.me and I will give you the code to get in for free.

    Okay I love you, thank you so much for joining us, or me, haha I’m used to talking for GBTL. Thank you so much for joining me here on my website! I am looking forward to creating queer and ecosexual and self love content for yall. I’m still figuring out exactly what I want to do for that, but I will for sure start posting content in that realm by June for sure, but I also want to give myself a break from doing things on a regular basis since I’ve been doing basically a weekly post on my website since… 2016? When it was originally on patreon, so that’s 5 years. I’m taking a little break to recalibrate, so that’s why there’s not as much from me. Yeah I will come back and be better than ever!

    Yeah I just wanted to invite you to the conversation event that’s tomorrow, please come, here’s the link in the thing below. I love you, thank you for being here, and I will talk to you soon!

  • MASS UPLOAD + future plans + virtual nude gathering + other events

    March 20, 2021 /

     

    CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:

    Hello friends! Welcome to another vlog post. I have a whole list of things right here that I want to talk about and I’m going to try to not ramble too much so it’s not too long of a video and/or post. Welcome to the 2nd and last mass upload for my archives! I have 11 photosets and 18 video folders that are now accessible to all members! So yeah this is officially the… now I have no set schedule for these blog posts, for new content coming out in terms of photos and videos for members. (EDIT AFTER RECORDING: This also includes the “weekly free posts” that I was sharing from my old blog archive.) Sooo… I wanted to be abundantly clear about the changes that have been happening and are continuing to happen, what’s going on.

    Okay so, literally thousands of things for you to look at whenever you want. Archives are massive. The new things are… I’ll be doing a virtual nude gathering every month, starting, well I already started it because I had one last weekend which was awesome! Thank you to those of you who came. Virtual nude gatherings, I’ve decided in order for more people to be able to have access to these really awesome experiences of being naked in community together in a non sexual setting that’s just fun and we connect to each other and we also connect to our own bodies in embodied physical reality kind of way, even though we’re on the internet and screens with each other, I think it’s really special and I want to make sure that more people are able to experience that. I’ll be opening them up, starting next month in April, to the public, but members will always get free tickets! Public tickets, there’s a range of prices, I’m doing sliding scale and offering some free tickets to non-members also, but members of course always get free tickets. The info on how to join us for free at the virtual nude gathering starting April 10th at 1pm, I’ll put the link in the stuff below so you click that, go to to purchase a ticket and use the discount code, it’s BLMBR. Short for Bunny Luna Member, so BLMBR gets you a free ticket. I’ll have that below too.

    CLICK HERE FOR NUDE GATHERING INFO + TICKETS
    (CHOOSE A SLIDING SCALE TICKET AND USE CODE “BLMBR” TO GET IN FOR FREE)

    What else do I want to share? Oh today, the day that this comes out, is the art share for Going Beyond the Lens. If you’re new here… I’ve had a few new people, and I don’t want to repeat myself too much but I also don’t want people to have to search to find information so sorry to those who already know but I’m going to repeat myself a little bit. Going Beyond the Lens is a creative community that I’ve cofounded with Lior Allay + Roarie Yum, and we host monthly art shares, which are available free for everyone, whoever wants to come can come. The community submits their artwork to us and we all hang out and admire it together and talk about what we love about it and we hear the story of the artist who created it and their process and behind the scenes of that and it’s a really special time and I super love it so please come! It’s today at 1pm, I’ll have the link below for you to sign up, it’s free!

    CLICK HERE FOR FREE ART SHARE TICKETS

    Then also next weekend for Going Beyond the Lens, which is Sunday the 28th we have the community conversation. Oh I should tell you the theme! This month the theme is NUDITY so the art share and the community conversation are both going to be centered around NUDITY! Yay naked! So I’m excited. The conversation, we have several questions that are listed in the conversation eventbrite link which I’ll also link below, the questions are in there, we have everyone, when they sign up, if they want to answer the questions… it’s about art and nudity and how you think about nudity. So if you want to answer the questions, that’s great so then we have more material to talk about during the conversation. We mainly go over these questions but they’re kindof like conversation starters, we definitely continue the conversation in a lot more depth in the actual conversation space than what you type in your answer when you sign up. It’s really special and we really dive into the topic. I always learn something, I just love hearing everyones different perspective and the way they think about the world and the things they’ve learned and I’ve learned so much, it’s really wonderful! If you want to be in creative community with an accepting and loving group of people, join us! So today, Saturday the 20th at 1pm is the art share. Sorry by now it’s too late to submit your art, but yeah there’s gonna be art! Then next Sunday the 28th is the community conversation! Yay!

    CLICK HERE FOR CHOOSE YOUR DONATION COMMUNITY CONVERSATION TICKETS

    Okay so those are all the really main things. I also want to talk about future plans. So going into the future from right now, okay so right now, the things that you as members will receive from me on a monthly basis are: nude gatherings! We get to hang out “in person” and spend time together naked! Uhm that’s really special, so we get to do that, yall get in for free!

    I’m going to start uhm I don’t know if I’ll do it in April but at some point soon, I’ll do it surely before like… lemme give myself a deadline to do it because if I don’t I don’t want to string yall along, so by June I’ll start putting out workbooks or videos or how-to things or resources around 4 topics that I’ll center my life online around, in terms of the things that I provide for other people. I in the past have been doing model/photographer things for a really long time, like 10 years, longer than 10 years, and I’m shifting gears from that world to self love, creativity (which is through Going Beyond the Lens), ecosexuality and queerness in general. Self love is big and encompasses all of those, and they kindof all work together, but those are the 4 main things that I’m going to focus on. I’m going to be creating resources and information and videos and there’s a ton of things I have ideas about, so resources in general. I’m going to be creating and offering a lot of them for free, so of course yall can have them too because they’re going to be free for everybody. Everything that I make yall will have access to first, and also can give feedback if you wanna tell me what your thoughts are, that would be super cool! And… so yeah resources of the queer, self love, ecosexuality, creative type, which you can also find resources for GBTL. I feel like I’m being all over the place, I’m sorry, that’s just how I feel today I guess, I hope it’s not too confusing.

    So in addition to all of that, yall already have archive access to my 10+ years of photography and modeling so enjoy that, tons of nude… all the fun things, shenanigans, hangouts, all the things, behind the scenes, interviews, nature videos, me doing aerial, there’s a shit ton of stuff in there, but it’s mostly photography of… my work of other people. It’s also photography of people taking photos of me, from when I used to model and I don’t really anymore. It’s kindof fun to not model right now. So in addition to your archive access, another thing yall get is the satisfaction of knowing that literally as a member you are the reason that I can provide resources for self love and creativity and ecosexuality and queerness for free to the public because yall are the reason I can do any of this, literally. You’re the reason I do it, and you make it happen with your support, and it means so much and I am so excited to go into this new and kindof scary but very exciting direction for myself. Rebranding of my website is coming soon, I don’t have a time on that yet, but we’re like… Lior is actually working with me for branding and I am so excited. So yeah my website will be changing a lot soon, it’s going to be even more awesome than it already is. Don’t worry, you’re still going to have access to the archives and all of the member things.

    Yeah I just wanted to let you know that I’ll have no set schedule or regularity that I will be posting vlogs like this and new photosets and whatever (EDIT AFTER RECORDING: This also includes the “weekly free posts” that I was sharing from my old blog archive.), but when things are happening, you’ll know first. I’ll come here and be like “hey guess what?! I’m excited about this thing or that thing or like look at all these resources I’m making or look at this new video” yeah all the things.

    Also be spammed a lot about GBTL because creativity *raises hands*. Since I have the immense pleasure of creating that community of 2 other amazing artists, that’s the creativity aspect of my 4 main things that I’m going to be focusing on. Creativity is for GBTL and the 3 others are my personal, “yeah let’s get queer ecosexual self love!” Well, self love really goes for GBTL too, but *smile*

    Okay I feel like I’ve talked a mile a minute and it’s been a really long video and I’ve told you so many things, I hope it hasn’t been overwhelming. I’m glad that you can watch this over again or rewind it or pause it or just read the thing because all of these words are gonna also be typed up below. I made my job harder by making it a long video. Okay but I had a lot to say so I wrote it down. Okay *laughs* *sighs*

    I’m gonna take a breath because I feel like I got wound up and I hope I didn’t also get you wound up, unless you wanted to get wound up, in that case, you’re welcome, but I’m going to take a breath so that if you got wound up with me, we can both be a little more chill by the time this video is over.

    *inhale in through the nose and out of the mouth 3 times*

    I love you, thank you for being here, I’m so glad that you’re here. I love you a lot. I’m excited to see the things I create with your support. I love youuuuu! Bye!

  • Olympia with Mandy Darling

    February 22, 2021 /

     

    CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:

    Hi friends! This is the second to last week of these weekly posts! Holy cow! It’s already like… wow February is flying. This week I’ll be sharing a photoset that’s kinda like a mixed photoset of several mediums. I think it’s digital, 35mm, medium format, and polaroid, I think? from Mandy Darling photographing me when I was in Olympia during my cross country road trip in 2019. Yeah I told you I have a whole lot from that trip I’m still posting, and this is not all of it, you’re gonna see a lot more when I do that mass upload in March. But for now, here’s a bunch of photos that Mandy Darling took of me, this was outside of her parent’s house in Olympia I believe? It was her parent’s house, it was a really beautiful place full of gardens and surrounded by woods and it was beautiful. I had a really great time so I hope you enjoy these photos. I don’t have BTS video, but the video from this week I’m sharing is actually a pretty fun video that I made in the spring of 2020. It’s multiple videos, I think it’s like 8 videos. In the spring of 2020 I took a walk in the woods that are behind my house to go to the ponds that are in my neighborhood, there’s a couple of little secret ponds hidden in the woods so it was me taking a walk in the woods and bringing you with me. Some of my favorite parts of this video are when I see little tiny frogs in the grass, there were so many tiny frogs this spring, it was so cute, I’m really excited to see them again. I think there’s a couple of moments when I’m searching for frogs and you can see how cute and tiny they are. So yeah just hanging out in the woods and taking you with me so I hope you enjoy that.

    First look people, I will be sharing the double exposures that I took of Lior Allay during the Backstage Pass event for Going Beyond the Lens that was in December of 2020. It was so great, they were so amazing. I did doubles of them during this event and people that were at the event helped… what’s the word? helped direct Lior for some of the poses. So the last I think 6 poses of theirs that you see were directed by people that were at the event, so that was super fun and exciting, I really loved it. It was really enjoyable to create together as a group. I had never experienced anything like that and it was amazing. These doubles were taken with the photos of Bryce Canyon that I took during my cross country road trip. I hope you enjoy all of those.

    If you are new here I’ll give you a recap of what is happening very soon. February I’ll do weekly posts like this through the end of February, so after this week there’s one more week of these weekly posts, and then starting in March I’ll be doing monthly members-only hangout gathering virtual live “in person” events, and you’ll also be able to get free admission to some of the paid events that I’ll be participating in or leading that are outside of just members only, they’re also for the public but they have to pay, but members will get to be in there for free. That and I will be in March also mass uploading everything from first look and my backlog which first look hasn’t even seen yet because I have so much content. I’m a little nervous about it because it’s a big change, I’ve been doing for the most part ish, weekly posts like this, since 2016 or 2017, so this is a big major change. I’m really excited about it because it’s going to allow me to have more time to create more free resources for everyone and to have more community experiences, which I’m much more interested in, where I’m in a community where we co-facilitate/cocreate an event together versus right now where I’m just like talking AT you and giving you access to stuff. That’s not as connecting for me, and I’m exited to get to know yall a little better and just…. nurture community. I think we all need community, especially during covid. If you have any questions please let me know, you can comment on this post, you can send me an email, you can contact me in another way if you want. Yeah I’m excited even though I’m scared. A lot will be changing, but I’m looking forward to seeing where this is going to go, because instead of talking AT you, I’ll be talking WITH you and that is more exciting to me. I’m starting off with one members-only event per month starting in March because I don’t want to overwhelm myself with too many things because I’ll most likely be doing 2 events per month for Going Beyond the Lens.

    Speaking of, I think by the time this comes out the event is already happening, I think? Oh I can’t look at my calendar because it’s on my phone and I’m recording on my phone! Oh I have a paper calendar too. Yeah so when this comes out it’s going to be on the 20th and the art share is on the 20th, so when this comes out you have a few hours left to sign up for the art share which is FREE! (CLICK HERE TO REGISTER) It’s going to happen at 1pm eastern time, so you have a little bit of time if you haven’t signed up yet, we would love to have you join us, whether or not you share your art with us. That’s through Going Beyond the Lens, I’ll put a link if you’d like more information (CLICK HERE FOR INFO), it’s the collective that I’m a cofounder of. What else? I think that’s all for this week. Change is scary but I’m excited and super thankful for you for being here with me through it. Yeah you mean so much to me and I’m so excited to have more opportunity to grow with you, so thank you. I love you! *blows kiss*

    Hi friends! Welcome to the.. what is it? Third to last week of these weekly posts like this, whaaat? So this week I’m sharing another photoset from my cross country road trip in the summer of 2019 because I have to much to share from that. I’m not even going to be sharing them weekly like this. I have so many that they won’t fit into the last weeks of February so you’ll get most of them when I mass upload them in March. It’s going to be a lot, a whole lot.

    So this week, are photos, I think it’s over 100 photos, self portraits that I took in Goblin Valley, very exciting, I really like them, I hope you do too. I have BTS videos for these photos also. First look is getting access to the self portrait photoset that I took at my friend Quinn Sanguine‘s house in Tacoma Washington, also during my cross country road trip in the summer of 2019. These I took in Quinn’s bedroom, they had a cool setup with lights on their wall, it was really cute and I really like the orange tone in their room, so I took advantage and took a bunch of self portraits while I was there. So that’s it for what’s new this week.

     To recap the changes that will be happening soon. February is the last month I’ll be doing weekly posts like this. In March I will be mass-uploading everything from my backlog and first look galleries, which is a WHOLE lot, a whole whole lot. So I’m not sure exactly when I’ll be dropping that mass upload, but that will be coming in March hopefully. Also in March start doing at least once a month members-only video hangouts so we can be together live “in person” virtually. I’m starting off with once a month because I don’t want to overwhelm myself with too many things all the time, which is another reason why I am not pressuring myself to do these weekly posts, not pressuring myself to create work constantly because as you know, if you’ve been here for any amount of time, I created like 4 or 5 photosets in the entirety of 2020. I know that my work, it’s not conducive to pressure and the requirement of “oh I have to do this thing right now” that just means I’m going to create something that doesn’t have intention and thought and real creativity behind it if I’m  stressed about it and feeling like “oh I have to make something right now” then it’s just going to be something I made because I felt like I needed to. That doesn’t do justice to me as an artist and it doesn’t do justice to you as a member of my website enjoying my art, because if it’s something I feel like I have to do that I rush through then the quality of it is diminished and it’s just not as good. I’m committed to doing things in the timing that works for me, which is not going to necessarily be consistent. So yeah I hope that you also give yourself grace in that way if you’re able to if you’re a creator.

    What else is new that I’m forgetting? By the time this comes out the EcoLove Playshop will have already happened, but you still have time to sign up for the Art Share for Going Beyond the Lens which is the 3rd Saturday of every month. I’m very excited to see your art. What else? Yeah so while I’m in this transitionary phase, I’m keeping things to a simplistic, minimalistic, sense thing… just to make sure that I’m not overwhelming myself, because I want to provide yall with quality  content and quality time with me. Just because it’s not weekly like it has been in the past, I know that I’m going to be doing my best and still offering yall quality art and time with me. So yeah my archive will be available for all members and will be a lot bigger than it was, very soon in March. Like there’s SO MUCH in first look alone that it’s going to take a while to do the mass upload but I’m excited because yall are going to be in for a huge treat, with all this content. It is really scary to make changes like this and to make a leap of faith with myself and make changes in what I’m doing but I feel much more excited and… what’s the word? Maybe rejuvenated by the potential of what this could be. Right now at this point it feels like I’m talking AT you and just like “here have photos, here have videos” and while I super love all my photos and videos, it doesn’t feel like we’re connecting with each other. It feels like I’m providing content and you’re consuming it, and I would really like to start being in a community space with you instead of like “here you go!” Now it will be more like “lets hang out together and get to know each other and share our art or whatever” so yeah I’m excited for these changes even though it’s scary.

    Okay uhm yeah if you have any questions comments concerns ideas whatever, comment on this post or email me or however you feel like contacting me, I would love to hear from you. I wonder if doing a 2-part content drop would be better than doing it all at once. I’ll think about it. Or you can let me know what you think! Ok I love you, thank you for being here, I appreciate that you are going on this journey of change and exploration and figuring shit out with me, it means a lot! I’m excited to go on this exploration with you and to get to know myself better and to get to know you better, and to have fun. I love you! Bye!

  • Doubles with Eva Luna & KH

    CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:

    Hi friends! Ok so I am excited because I feel better since I have more of a plan for what I want to do with my website. We are officially into February which means it’s our last month of the weekly things like this. I’m excited so here we go!

    This week I’m sharing double exposures that I took of Eva Luna & KH from my cross country road trip in 2019 at that nude beach that I’ve already told yall about a couple of times because I’ve shared.. I think this is the last thing I have to share from that day with them. These are the double exposures that I took of them. The landscapes are from Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks from earlier in that same trip when I was in California. I think they’re super beautiful, I really love how they came out. There’s also behind the scenes video for this photoset, so yay!

    And then first look folks, I’m sharing the double exposures… this is a whole double exposure week. I’m sharing the double exposures that I took of Dawn, also known as coconutdreamin in the past. They’re so dreamy. The doubles…. I think it was last week, I shared me posing for Dawn, and this week it’s Dawn posing for me for the doubles so it was in the same place. I have BTS of this as well. The doubles, the landscape part of the doubles is from Glacier National Park in Montana from my cross country road trip, and the photos of Dawn I took in my house in NC, in… I’m pretty sure it was November or December of 2019. Dawn cut their hair also recently, so this before Dawn cut their hair, but Dawn has short hair now also, pretty exciting. Yeah so I don’t want to make this super long because my plan is to make some of these videos early so that I can get ahead so I can plan more exciting things for yall, and also so that I can get a head start on the mass upload of everything once March rolls around, so excited for that.

    If you’re new here and you haven’t seen the past blogs that I’ve done in the last month, I’m doing an overhaul of my website and February is the last month of these weekly posts like this. In March I’ll be mass uploading everything from my backlog and all the things from First Look will be available for everybody. I’m also I think going to make one membership tier and it’s just going to be sliding scale, that’s what I’m thinking about doing because I feel like, just makes the most sense, it’s the most simple, and it also means that everything is accessible to everybody and you pay what you’re able to pay. I’ll have more information on that soon, I’ll be rebuilding my membership page, rebuilding my whole website yay! Not really excited about that because also how do I brand?! So yeah that’s something I’m thinking about a lot is like, do I wanna do branding for my website? How do I do that? What do I want my colors to be? What do I want my fonts to be? What do I want to emphasize? So right now I’m really focusing on I think… you might be excited for this, because I think most people that come to my website are most intrigued by nude gatherings, which… I am excited to tell you… I don’t have any official plans yet but my plan is to make a plan for virtual nude gatherings! So yay! That’s really exciting to me. So yeah I want to focus on virtual hangout things, nude and non nude, like educational opportunities where I share the knowledge that I have and you also share the knowledge that you have because I’m not a guru that knows everything. I know a little bit about a lot of things so I want to share knowledge, not just dispense it. I want to.. what’s the word. I want to circulate it around, I want to facilitate the sharing of knowledge, not like “I hold all of it and you have to be a certain way in order for me to share it with you” no. So I’m excited about all of that, the potential for all of these changes is pretty exciting, while it’s also scary at the same time. You know, life changes are scary but also exciting.

    So yeah…. I’m going to do a quick recap of my plans, even though I’ve kinda been doing a recap of my plans here already. Weekly posts will continue as they have been through February and then will be no more. I will hopefully in March mass upload all of my backlog and first look into the galleries for everyone. I’ll be redoing my website, restructuring my memberships. If you’re already a member this won’t affect you, because everything will stay the same for you basically, you’ll just be most likely having more access to more content because it’s in my backlog right now that you’ll be getting in March, hopefully. March is the plan. Starting hopefully in March I’ll be doing at least one monthly members-only video virtual hangout community gathering thing. I probably will have themes or topics for us to talk about. I would like to have some kind of structure around it but I don’t want to just be talking AT you the whole time, I want to have a conversation between us.

    I will be, OH! I haven’t told yall this yet. Or… I might post about it before this comes out. On February 12th, it’s a Friday, I will be… what’s the word… a special guest maybe? I will be helping with a, they’re calling it a playshop, which is exciting. I’ll be a part of a playshop called EcoLove Playshop that is hosted by Lior Allay & Jenna Citrus. I’m very excited because it’s centered around loving ourselves and loving the earth and coming together as a community to do those things, so I’m really excited about that. I’ll put the link in the caption below so you can sign up. (SIGN UP HERE!) If you’re not a member of my website it’s $11 to register, but as a member, you get to join for free! So I’ll share with you the code to get in for free instead of having to pay for it, so yay, another perk to being a member, is events like that that are pay to register, you’ll get to register for free! (EDIT: You must be a member of mine, Lior’s, and Jenna’s sites to receive a free ticket.) I’m really excited, I think it’s going to be really beautiful. I’ve already sent Lior my two cents to share in the slideshow, and I’ll lead a short energy practice for us. I believe I’ll be at the beginning of the playshop, so I’m excited to do a little thing at the beginning and then experience it with you, yay.

    What else? On the third Saturday of every month is going to be the Art Share through Going Beyond the Lens. That’s going to continually happen. Those are free, whether you’re a member or not those are free for everybody. I’m excited about that. If you have art you’d like to share with us, I’ll share the signup info below also! (REGISTER HERE!) There’s a recurring eventbrite for that through May I believe, is what we have it scheduled through, so far. The plan is to do it every month, we have the recurring event go through May for now. Yeah! I’m excited! I hope you are too.

    It means a WHOLE lot that you’re here in the first place, at all. I really appreciate that you’re here through these changes and updates and… me trying to figure out what I’m doing. It means a lot, so thank you. Yeah… I hope you have a wonderful day and I hope you enjoy these double exposures, I really love them and I hope you do too. *blows kiss*
