Photo Project Part Deux



So the second year of the photo project I worked on last year is up and running. Envisage is the much cherished project of Sarah a lovely lady who I met via the first year of the project. I now socialize with quite a number of these ladies on-line and I am honoured to know them all. The project got off to a wee bit of a rocky start due to a former contributor who had stepped up to help Sarah. She was allowing her teenage daughters to participate... great, fine, cool, we can see the world through the eyes of some younger women. But sadly the woman in question decided that meant we needed to consider if the pictures we were going to submit were appropriate. Yeah well it raised the hackles of A LOT of us. But we got clarification that she was only concerned about explicit content. Which still caused a lot of us to chafe and get out of sorts. I mean seriously if you don't want your daughters seeing something don't give them permission to work on an adult project. The long and the short of it is some of us decided to submit pictures of our "toys". Some were poking fun at the woman, others had no idea and just submitted them and then there was me who was actually trying to get a rise out of a completely different woman who had told me sex toys were disgusting. I know I'm terribly mature. And then the "penis" picture was posted. The end result of this provocative image was the mother and contributor went postal. She even sent an email asking the darling Vixen to take down the photo and that Sarah agreed. Sarah believes in free speech and no censorship, do we really think Sarah agreed? After an afternoon of drama the woman quit and took her daughters with her. I'm sad as she was fun and her daughters were taking so phenomenal shots. But I'm glad as now we can take our photos of life as it is for us with out questioning.

I'm alive... no really...


So my delivery of my second daughter wasn't exactly picturesque as you can see. The head cold I was battling for three weeks decided to grow into a big bad case of pneumonia. Long story short they thought I had H1N1 and I was forced by my body to have another c-section, which led to me being bagged and isolated in ICU for 4 days. Nothing says panic and suck like waking up with out your baby, tied to your bed with a tube stuck down your throat.

I am now at the six week mark and am MUCH MUCH better. My newest daughter who doesn't have a nickname yet is a joy and The Starlet has started kindergarten. Oh and lost a tooth... DEAR GODS WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?! So now I'm more active and more with it I will be trying very hard to update more often... no really...
