I have relocated to Las Cruces from Albuquerque but I travel back to Albuquerque at least once a month.

I am enjoying the small town life but I am still transitioning. If anyone has any advice for me, I'd love to hear it!

It ROCKS! I love modeling, I wish I could model full time.... I think I'll probably keep wishing because there isn't enough work in Albuquerque plus I'm too old, LOL!!

Let's see, sheesh I've been busy with a million & one things. My kickball team didn't do too well but we had FUN & that's all that matters! I started doing kickboxing & WOW does it kick my butt!! I cut my bangs short like "Bettie Page" bangs, & I love them! I will be in at least 5 calendars in 2012, one is the COVER of The Color Me Sexy Calendar! Thank you to everyone that voted for me, I'm so excited & I can't wait to see the pics! We already shot it!
As far as acting goes, my agent has been sending me to auditions (SCARY) and I have the worst stage fright EVER! I was offered a speaking role on Breaking Bad BUT I would have to be topless & in a thong so I declined... I really need to get over my stage fright.
My most recent gig was in a live westeren show! It was out in Santa Fe & I played a saloon girl, it was tons of fun & I met same amazing actors & people.
I recently shot 16 girls in one day OMG it was hot, time consuming, & a long day but I got it done! I've been getting hired to do photography more & more & I'm really loving it!
I've been working in the clinic at school & I still have many more massages before I'm complete but I'm getting there!
Life is good & I'm happy ]]>Fri, 15 Apr 2011 04:08:13 GMThttp://www.desertjewelsinc.com/julias-blog/desert-jewels-glow-kickball-teamTonight was my company kickball team Desert Jewels 1st game & we won 14 to 7!! It was such a great night & I made 2 runs & pitched the whole game!

It was such a great shoot with photographer Ray from RedRayven. The owner Pat Dalton & his family were really fun & great people to work with! I just love when I have the pleasure of working with such awesome people. I wish all of my modeling gigs were to promote something I'm so passionate about... today was a great day!
