I’m a finalist in the BMEzine World Tour Contest!

I am so excited! My video audition made it to the final round of BMEzine’s World Tour Contest.

If I’m chosen, I will get to travel the world with a team of cool people and interview body modification artists around the globe. I applied for the writer role, so I would likely get to blog the [...]

My latest addition: a 4g conch punch

Squeamish folks, thou should probably read no further.
I have gone under the needle many times (both for piercings and for tattoos), but on Saturday I finally went under the punch. My left ear has been looking empty to me for awhile now (especially compared to my right ear), and I finally decided on something to [...]

July Plug Challenge: Week 4

I’ve been thinking about embarking on the 101 in 1001 days challenge. Then someone suggested I make it 300 before 30. I am very intrigued.
I have also decided (for the moment, at least) on fonts for my personal branding project! More on this later. Onto the plugs I wore for the past week:

July Plug Challenge: Week 3

Corner is working out of Sacramento for the week so things are a bit boring on the homefront.
Things at work have been pretty busy since we are in the midst of redesigning miis.edu. I actually wrote a blog post yesterday that documents the design process so far.
I have been exploring fonts for my personal branding [...]

July Plug Challenge: Week 2

As promised, the 2 pairs of Anatometal solid gem plugs have made their way into my collection! In fact, I love them so much that I wore both pairs 2 days in a row. This will probably skew my month’s data in favor of these plugs, but I’ll chalk it up to the fact that [...]

July Plug Challenge: Week 1

I am documenting the plugs I wear every day for 1 month, mostly to see which pairs I wear the most/least, but also as an excuse to take some photos with my new camera (I got a Canon PowerShot SD990 IS! It’s hot!).

Stretched Ears: My Personal Timeline

One of my most distinguishing features is my stretched earlobe piercings. I often wonder why people seem to remember me after having met me only once, and my friends tell me, “It’s because you have huge holes in your ears, DUH!”
My parents have never understood why I got into body modification. I’m not sure I [...]

Time in California: 2 weeks.

Lots going on, so a quick update.
Corner and I went out for sushi on his birthday and to PF Chang’s for our 2 year anniversary. I suppose I could pause for a moment and reflect on how amazing he is and the fact that we’ve been dating 2 years and it feels like 2 minutes. [...]
