Where my gay's at?

Over the weekend I got to swim in Zurich lake. When I say swim, I mean for a mere 30 seconds. Haha! The water was colder than ice...mountain water. It was such a beautiful day full of sunshine...we had a cook out BBQ and I somehow managed to mess up the kabob veggies :-p, I am so not a cook. I will always take up an opportunity to hang out with Andy, Chris and their friends. Hopefully I'll get to do it again before I leave for home....! I almost forgot the best part of the weekend...this cute little Dog Leo would not stop kissing my face! He kissed it nearly for 10 mins!! When he started to move to my boobs I made him stop....he was getting a little to frisky. He would be perfect for Hollywood. Miss Hollywood and Mister Leonardo Dicaprio. :-D


The tour is still going very well, its a very tight schedule and long hours, but I have so much fun with these kids! It makes me miss my brothers and sister even more though. I haven't seen my family in almost a year because of all the traveling, but next month I'll be taking a looong holiday to go see them. I cannot wait. :-D

This morning a really funny thing happen....I'm always making mistakes with words and for some reason I always choose the worst option. This boy asked me  "Do you like the gays?" I was like "Of  course! They always have the best time and they are great to go shopping with. But sexual orientation doesn't matter at all to me, it's whats inside that counts. " Everyone again was so confused and then they started to laugh really hard....That's when the teacher explained that he meant "gaming." The real question was "Do you like the games?" Hahaha, but I think its completely understandable how I got that confused! I could seriously not stop laughing, and the boy was such a great sport about it. :-)

I'm a little car sick right now because we're high in the mountains, so I'm going to relax a bit and sip this diet coke before  my next gig. Ahhhhh, so refreshing.

I'm sure you all know by now my love of sweets. I seriously have the biggest sweet tooth in the entire world. This huge candy store in Europe called "Lollipop" is amazing. They have soooo many different kinds of candy then we do back home! I love it! When I called my husband to tell him about this amazing candy store he simply said "I bet you got three pounds didn't you, Just like  you do when your home." And he was right...I got 1 kilo = 3 pds! Haha he knows me too well :-) Again...I just dont understand why my boobs photograph so big! Seriously they are NOT that big!! How I dare to dream! Thanks to Oliver who took the pics....hahaha!

Six feet under.

I'm sitting outside of my hotel room watching a beautiful storm overtake Zurich. I really love storms, they bring me peace and the wind feels amazing in this hot summer weather. Every time I'm alone traveling I get to know myself a lot more. You don't realize how much you've grown up until you start reacting to things differently. The petty bullshit we use to deal with just isn't important anymore. The past is left to the past. Of course there are always exceptions where people hold on to whatever grudge they can, because to them that's all they have. Let's make this world a but better and let go of the past. Life is too damn short...we should always look for the positive first. So this is my post to say....MY past is buried. Every lie that was ever told to me, every broken promise, every hurtful word....ALL OF THE BULLSHIT is being buried. This is one funeral I won't mourn.

The pictures below are taken by once again by the amazing Dawn Deryshire.

I want to personally congratulate John Gordon and Manfred/Mette Zähringer from Iceberg Records for winning the Eurovision Song Contest with "Satellite" performed by Lena Meyer-Landrut!! I am so proud and honored to work with you guys.

Eurovision is one of the biggest music contests in Europe. It compares to like an American Idol! Over the years he Eurovision contest has found amazing stars such as Celion Dion and ABBA.  How Eurovision works is each member Country submits a song to be performed live on TV and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. The show has been running since 1956!!! Making it one of the most longest running shows in he world. To read more about the contest go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest

John Gordon and Jodie Frost wrote and produced the song so this is a really big win for them!! I am so honored and feel so lucky to be working with John, everything we ever write/record together always turns out amazing. One of first songs I've ever written with him was "Absolutely Nothing." Can't wait to work with him again in September! Go to YouTube and listen to "Satellite" performed by Lena Meyer-Landrut. It's a really great song and Lena is so cute! I wish her as well nothing but the best in her career.

Anyways....the entire tour has been going super well. The days are very long and it's a lot of hard work....it's nothing I didn't ask for ;-)! I've gotten some really funny questions too, such as "Do you like sport in bed?" and "Are you somewhat of crazy??" Hahaha! Yes, yes I am somewhat of crazy. Thank you for noticing!

Here are some pictures I just recievd from Pat Mansor, he's another great photographer in Pittsburgh. He is just about to graduate school and i'm sure he has a very bright future ahead!

Turbulence blows.

I was never so happy to land in Zurich then ever before. I needed a good break of some nonsense back in Pennsylvania and also the turbulence was terrible this time! Usually I can pop a anxiety pill and be fine....but no no no there had to Storms. So that meaning I got absolutely no sleep, that goes for the people on the plane that were sitting around me (I was a crying mess!). As soon as we landed Oliver was there waiting to pick me up and he said those three magic words...."You want Starbucks??" Haha already my day got so much better.

At Starbucks Oliver explained the game plan for the month I will be here. Let's just say there won't be much free time! My Swiss tour starts very early tomorrow morning. I'm really excited because last year was such a success, this year will be even better. I'll have plenty of clothes to choose from because I packed two huge suitcases full of junk AND I forgot that last time I left three huge bags stuffed full of clothes. My only worry? How in the world am I going to get this crap home?!  I might as well Start a walk in closet here too.

One of the BEST parts so far was finding out that my FAVORITEST (not a word I know...) Photographer from Pittsburgh got her image that she took of me in a magazine! It's a HUGE picture too! I think she is one of the most talented photographers I ever met and she deserves huge success. Hopefully together we can get that :-).

I'm going to call it an early night because I have a lot to do tomorrow! I miss you family, Mark and Hollywood! I'll be back home before you know it....until then keep checking back daily for more adventures.

I'll Post the magazine shots tomorrow because my stupid head forgot them in the car! Below are some shots that were taken a week ago with Dawn Derbyshire and Make up by Adrienne Pace. Both ladies are super talented.

The day of travels...

 

I'm sitting at the Pittsburgh airport waiting to board my plane. I'm heading back to Europe today, which means heading back to long hours of work, no sleep, sweating, brusing and a hell of a lot of good times. I'm touring for the next 4 weeks and I can't wait. Touring takes so much out of you but gives you so much more back. I can't wait to meet all of tthe new faces and see the new places. Ummm why did I sound like a lame Dr. Suess? Europe here I come!!!!!!

Today is also my baby Hollywood's birthday!! She's 2 years old, ugh how they grow up so fast. I'm pretty bummed I had to leave her but she has a whole new set of sqeaker toys and treats to play with. Happy Birthday Hollywood!







Dawn Derbyshire my good friend and badass photographer took this picture of Hollywood a few months back. It continues to be on of my favorites!

Here are some pics I recieved from Ms Ashlee Gray from our January 2010 shoot. I really love the colors in these. It's all behind the eyes...

Rainbow Vomit.

Dawn finally has come back to Pittsburgh! I finally got my creative buddy back. She came over the other day and what did we do? We shot, shot and shot and ate, ate and ate. We also used a lot of color in a few shots....which is totally out of the norm for us. We consume ourselves in black...and usually that's my staple! The next outfit we managed to get back to black :-). When we went to the waterfall.....I saw a snake. This snake was about 6 inches long, but that didn't stop me from running away screaming and almost knocking a girl out. I might look and act tough, but if a snake happens to cross my path I resort back to scared child. This was the outcome....

Pure awesomeness.

So glad to have you back Dawn Derbyshire :-)

La Vie Boheme

It's been a few weeks since I've been back to the States. I've finally recovered and I am sooo ready to go back. Here are some pictures of some in Studio with my man Urs. We re recorded and mixed "Absolutely Nothing" so it's more in tune with the European radio. I apologize for this being so late! Like they say....better late than never!

I've been playing RENT all day today. The music never gets old....and it sends such a great message. I went to the musical a few years ago and it was amazing. I hope to see it again one day :-)

No day but today......

XOXO
