I'm off to Russia...no, REALLY!

So I got pulled into my bosses office last week and she asked what my plans were for the holiday, I told that I didn't really have any plans and she was happy with that, since she was sending my ass to RUSSIA for scouting! I wasn't even asked or given a choice, I was told. I will be taking off for three weeks starting manana going all over Russia, I mean hitting the small villages and spending the night on a train. I'm very excited that I've been chosen to go, but I've got to admit that I'm scared shitless of fucking up this opportunity. I can't believe that in the span of one year I've been traveling all over the place, it's like being back on tour only better. I don't know if I'll have internet connections, but I will be tying a journal and then updated it as I can. I get travel with my coworker Manny, so that's going to be a blast. This is just another adventure for this young girl from Chula Vista, and this is just the beginning. I think that they need to follow my ass around with a camera crew to film my shit being in culture shock. Okay kid...off I go!

WWD JAPAN!

Here is the latest issue of WWD Japan. Inside is a story on one of the hottest models out there, Coco Rocha, who just happens to be a model that I work with. WWD gave her a camera for fashion weeks in Europe and told her to take pictures backstage etc. to show the world what it's like to be a baby supermodel. Since I spent quite a bit of time with her I took some of the pics and even ended up in one of the smaller ones, yo can see my mug with Coco on the right hand side. You can also see my travel turtle, he's kicking it with Coco on the bed!!

Sue Nami*

So I haven't had a chance to update my Halloween pics because my best friends Sammyboots finally came to NYC to visit my ass!! I don't how we did it, but we managed to survive his trip here without getting killed, though we tried like hell to poison ourselves. I took Halloween and the day after off, thank GOD, so I could prepare and recover. Sammy and I spent the day running around looking for our costumes, all I knew was that I had a kimono that I bought Roommate in Tokyo last year. I was a little scared because #3 was not in town, but he did leave us his makeup kit and drag box, so we were prepared. Sammy had the genius idea to put a corset over the kimono and turn me into my alter ego Blanca Basura, who was actually birthed on Halloween back in '96, which is when I met Roommate for the first time. So we came back to my place and started the transformation, thank the heavens that Sammy could beat a face, cuz her worked me out!! So we went through the parade, where I should have known that the fierce boots that I bought for my outfit were not cute for a big ol' girl like me. I could barely walk by the time that we got to the first bar and so I spent the whole sitting and trying not to pass out cuz of the corset. The bar was busted and we ended walking all over the place, we finally ended up at a local Japanese bar restaurant named Dojo's, on Mercer. I was not having a goodtime, and Sammy was trying his hardest to make it happen for both of us, my feet were killing me, so all I wanted to do was go home and take off my shoes. We bellied up to the bar and I thought fuck it and started to order drink after drink. Well we both ended up doing what we both do best, getting drunk, and the next thing I know all the people in the restaurant, including the staff came over to hang out the Drag Queens, Sammy introduces himself and then tells everyone that my name was Sunami!! I could not believe that he said that, I was Blanca Basura, but the name stuck so we ended coming up with a back story to my persona. The part of Sue Nami, the trannie gaysha whorehouse mistress was being played by Blanca Basura. So once we came up with that I was happy. After that we ended up at Barracuda were we had some great fun and drank some more, we closed that bar and got back at 5am. We got some food at the deli and when I finally got upstairs and took off my shoes, I was sort of sad to put Blanca away, but I did have a great time, luckily I brought my camera.
