Blood, Sweat, and Sexiness - Jan Recap! (Patreon)

Thanks so much everyone for contributing to my success, no matter what level you sponsor me at! I appreciate you very much :)

I told you I would share EVERYTHING with you, so this post is about how I work my ass off extremely hard to the point of nearly neglecting everyone outside of my nude modeling circle. Here's what I did this month:

January was a sexy success!!! I had to put about $1,700 into auto maintenance and repair (100k mile service: water pump, tranny flush, new timing belt, spark plugs, and needed to replace the coil and thermostat!) so that I could safely drive from Seattle to San Diego! I made a pit-stop for a shoot in the Bay Area, then chilled in Diego for a week and had a few shoots, then hiked my way back up through Rancho Cucamonga for the Maidens in Paradise shoot, stayed in Los Angeles a few days with my home-girl model Jin-n-Tonic,  stopped in San Fran again on my way up to Seattle. I was home for 4 days, hung out with family and caught up on some video editing and emailing, then it was back to the road! I drove 4 hours to Tri-cities over the snowy mountain pass for some shoots, down to Portland for 4 days for 6 shoots, over to Bend and Sisters (3 hours east) for 2 days, then home-sweet-home again (for a handful of local photo shoots)!

Over January I was home at my apartment for 10 days, and I pay $1250 for rent!

On top of my own modeling escapades, I have been working on organizing a group photo shoot for other models in the Mt Ranier area... a "Snowbunny" nude shoot for 6 models and 6 photographers. I already paid for the cabin facility, and the event is already sold out! It's going to be March 13.

Also, this month I scheduled to teach a class to reach out to newbie models "Introduction to Freelance Modeling". I have taught one of these before in Sacramento, now I am bringing my presentation to a live audience March 15! The author of a freelance modeling advice book is also going to be making an appearance at my class and handing out copies of his book to the aspiring models :)

Even with all my expenses, I still came out of this month in the green. However if I am not careful with my spending, that could easily change....

PS January's payments are being processed currently!!! If you are a $5+ pledger chomping at the bit to receive incentives, we all must wait until the Patreon cards clear!!! Should just be a few days, that's how Patreon works :p
