One Man Wimbledon

A group of us went to Mike Mathieu's One Man Wimbledon show at the iDiom Theater.
It was amazing. We were inspired to come dressed in tennis garb, which made it extra fun.
Wren and I had a photoshoot afterwards for extra, extra fun.
Thanks Mike, for the inspiration, hilarity, and amazingly wonderful show.

Marilyn photo-shoot with Thaddeus

I've had this idea for a few years now, and I've finally found the photographer to make it happen! Thaddeus Hink and I got together to photograph me as Marilyn Monroe with her famous blowing dress, but do it on a toilet with water blowing out of it. Thaddeus had the idea of adding toilet paper blowing out from under my dress to add to the toilet aspect. Here'a a smippit from the post-tp photo shoot.
It was such a blast working with him, and essentially making one of my dreams come true!
I'm so excited for the final product. We have a few more ideas, and probably another photo session before it's a finished product. But hopefully it'll be ready for turning into postcards, and other fun things soon!
