Where the Hell have I been? – Part One

Well, elsewhere, and in general this year has been really rough.

So where were we? Last I see, it was January when I made a blog post about stocking my website and ManyVids store full of my videos, and apparently I was complaining a bit that my website wasn’t doing so great as well.

And then a month or so later and well, my career and my plans for 2020 pretty much got mothballed. That doesn’t mean I have been inactive, just scrambling to figure out where in the internet I should be most active.

But I know, if you only follow me here you’d think I fell off the edge of the earth or something. I haven’t. It’s been a rough year, not so much because of the virus, just things in general that were supposed to happen, didn’t happen. And while I do know that many people have managed to reap great financial benefits from the lockdown, I probably spent far more time wondering what the hell I should be doing than getting comfortable on webcam.

As for my blog post activity, I have moved most of my work-in-progress blog posts over to my Patreon, I post a few times a week over there, and for those who contribute to the $5 tier, they get to see all the behind the scenes stuff on my projects

Those on the $10 tier get to see a selection of R-rated pictures from my shoots, though the entire shoot go up on my members site.

There’s also a $1 tier (sort of an anonymous donar) and a $25 tier (additional perks I haven’t figured out yet), but the main levels are the $5 and $10 level.

So, lets backtrack a bit and figure out where we all were in February

As everything started to fall apart and I was settling into my house, now overstuffed with objects and furniture and outfits from my old studio, I looked to reworking old outfits to make into new outfits. So “Posh Purple” was a drastic reworking of an old bellhop outfit from ages ago that didn’t even remotely fit me any more.

Come to think of it, I’m not sure this outfit fit me the first time around… 17 (?!?!?!) years ago.

I was skinny then, but more voluptuous now, that’s for sure

So that was one out of the way, but the outfit re-do really might have been a completely new outfit anyway.

Right after that, COVID-19 hit and it was hard to get materials to finish up some projects. It did take a while for my next shoot to come out, and I admit, I committed a cardinal sin by shooting in the same room/same background twice in a row! Oh no!

So this was going to be my Easter shoot- “Derby Doll”, though I also was thinking Kentucky Derby. By then I think they postponed the derby till later in the year, so I can’t feel guilty coming out late with this at all.


It was the biggest hat I had ever made. In fact, it started out even bigger (like 36″) but the flowers really weighed down the front. Which meant more would have to be on the back. Instead I removed them and cut a few more inches from the diameter.

The outfit was made from this purple gingham charoplex (Mexican oil cloth- one of my favorite materials), and the same sort of ruffled trim I have used for a zillion of my other outfits. I’m going to be very unhappy if that trim stops becoming available. I had gotten most of the materials for this outfit before the pandemic or much earlier.

I even toyed with the idea of this purple hair for it, but it was too red and didn’t fit with that purple.

The glasses were somewhat problematic as they caught the lights a lot. I might have to pop out the lenses when I use them again.

Most of April I was stuck re-roofing my house, and again that was a project that took forever but needed to be done. At least now it’s nice to have a roof that doesn’t leak but around April/May I was very not happy.

While I was wrapping this up in May, I made my first attempt to build an entire set for a shoot in my dining room, as opposed to using my rooms in my house for a backdrop.

So this was the Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog shoot I had thinking about for a while. Actually the orange fursuit started out life as a “Cats” inspired outfit, but ended up looking so much more like a fursuit, I abandoned that idea. And remember that upside down bathtub there, that is being hidden by the platform I built, but you’ll see it come back later.

This brings us to June I think. I have been camming off and on, and trying different outfits and looks, but didn’t really know what I wanted to do as my next shoot. I tried a live show with the Tails set before ripping it down.


But one thing I was sure about, i was tired of tripping over the bathtub that was being saved for a future bathroom renovation.

Maybe I ought to do the bathroom?

So there was about a month of smashing stuff, digging dirt out from under my floor, rebuilding the drain to the new tub, building a vanity mostly from scratch and using a free counter top, and teaching myself how to tile floors.

Here’s some early before shots: At this point I had already ripped out the shower surround, which was horribly crooked as it was a perfect cube, but my bathroom, like my house, is more parallelogram shaped.

So this brings us up to about mid-June. I have forever been working on making a costume of a well known hentai character called “Sponty”, who is this rabbit eared futanari girl who seems to always get herself into predicaments with alien sex robot fucking machines or something.

But I’m going to have to leave that for the next blog update. I didn’t realize just how much everything I did this summer!
