Moments That Shaped Me.

There are certain songs that shape you while growing up and then take a sharp left and have a different significance when they bring an exact memory. Once when I was a make-up artist for most porn studios, I was doing make up for Jasmine St. Claire whom was under contract with John T. Bone was in the chair while I was doing her make up and discussing our upcoming trip to The CES show The Consumer Electronics annual show and the AVN Awards that I worked virtually every year. Friends were going to stay with me in my hotel room and that also meant bar happing and making the rounds to strip clubs. My straight friends to;d me I was going to get a lap dance there at Cheetah's while in town.

I told Jasmine that I never had a lap dance before and was pretty close with most of the girls I new at Jumbo's Clown Room in Hollywood and Cheetah's and spent loads at Crazy Girls.

So Jasmine said she always wanted to give me a lap dance and I said sure, why the hell not. Being that jasmine used to work as a dancer in clubs she had the routine down. She asked me if I wanted "Tits or Ass"? I requested both and she then took a out a cassette in her purse from one of her own shows and put it in my ghetto blaster. Sit down and Def Leopard "Photograph" began
playing. Jasmine started and whipping her hair and making her sultry face and she fucking worked me hit hey full body. The guys whom were in the next room came over and watched. I preferred tits over ass. hit just felt better in my opinion. Then Shyla Foxx gave me one right after Jasmine was done.
. It was pretty cool and now when I hear that song I always think of the time I got a lap dance for free and from two actual porn stars, FOR FREE. I did spend a hell of alot of time in strip bars when I was younger, I had more fun in them than i did gay bars as the people were just friendlier and there was no prentense and the drinks were always stronger. Ahh memories.

To Sleep With Anger

The past couple of months have been spent working and the subject of family and what happens now has kind of kept me with my hands full. Recently me and my partner have been talking about this and I have been riddled with how to approach this subject, and it has boiled down to my actual upbringing and nuclear family. Ain't that some shit. I will be honest my family drive me fucking crazy, crazy like this, see below.



Truth is I love them as I kind of have to as they are my family, at least that is what we are told when young. You MUST love your family as they are the basis for all relationships in your future. So I have not really made a profound connection with my parents the way, say oh some normal sane able bodied person who just so happens not to be mentally unstable. Then there is me. Fiercely independent which I inherited from them, that I am very grateful for. Yet upon making a son loving gesture and all hell broke loose where me and my father went at it and gauntlets were thrown and I finally told my partner that I thought my dad was a ignorant jerk. Actually I said I hated him and it was the first time I didn't praise him which was a first. As my mom is in a state of uncertainty with her stroke and needing constant care, my brother and her are very close. closer than me and her ever are.

Certain issues stemming from my family tree have cause me to embrace certain behaviours that serve me no purpose. My brother is a man child and my dad is a grumpy fuck whom thinks he knows better and plays the "dad' card. So I need to let it go, purge it out and make peace with my anger at them. Failure is my biggest fear, and my family resent the fact that I live so far away. I chose to do so and it was not easy and didn't happen over night. But I have been told to meditate and find a away to figure this out. So I have been given a life task and will find a result that would be a better solution to this problem.
Where that Swami guy when you need him to talk to me in bumper sticker?


Other wise I am going to turn inot these people and end up on youtube myself.

Tattooing for Japan!

Tattoo By Matteo Cecarrini

The planets must have made a major shft with the last shinning full moon cause I seem to be wanting to do nice things like stroke puppys and actually pay fat ugly babies compliments. With the devastation that stuck the people of Japan and the tragic aftermath of the earthquake and the tsunami leaving thousands in despair. I proposed that me and the gang at the studio do something really good to help. The goal is to unite tattooers globally to show their compassion and gratitude to a country and culture that has influenced most of us artistically and personally. All of us owe a large debt of gratitude to Japan for its contribution to tattooing and the trade we are all so passionate about.

So Prick is going to have a Tattoo Benefit on May 9th from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. where anybody can recieve a tattoo for the price ranges of £40.00, £50.00, £60.00 and £70.00 from designated flash in the shop. Kat will be baking her world famous cupcakes, sushi will be served and all kinds of goodies too. The shop will be donating all proceeds to the red cross via Tattooers For Japan and know that this will be a packed event where it is a first come first serve basis.. Maximum tattoo time is 45 minutes in the chair.

Being that wer are in a capacity to do something good the guys were in a agreement to pull together and make this a great day for everybody involved. So if you would like to know any more information call the shop. So mark it in your calendars boys and girls and come get a tattoo for a good cause.

Sometimes You Just Have To Laugh!

Him Vs. Me The I Vs. We

It don't matter, where you turn
Gonna survive, you live and learn.
I've been thinking about you, baby.

By the light of dawn,
And midnight blue ... day and night ... I've been missing you.
I've been thinking about you, baby.
Almost makes me crazy,
Come and live with me.


Either way, win or lose,
When you're born into trouble,
You live the blues,
I've been thinking about you, baby.
See: it almost makes me crazy.

Child, nothing's right if you ain't here
I'd give all that I have, just to keep you near
I wrote you a letter, and tried to make it clear,
But you just don't believe that I'm sincere.
I've been thinking about you, baby.


Plans and schemes, hopes and fears,
Dreams I've denied for all these years
I, I've been thinking about you, baby
Living with me, wow.

I've been thinking about you, baby
Makes me wanna
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Child, nothing's right, if you ain't here
I'd give all that I have, just to keep you near.
I wrote you a letter, darling, tried to make it clear,
But you just don't believe that I'm sincere.

I've been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me, wow
I've been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me.

TRANNY CACA POOPOO!

Yeah even this broad warbling about is alot better than the christmas ham trumped up like a generic low rent cabaret grag queen.
But it did make me laugh/
Enjoy.

Henry Does Good.

I am often teased by my assistant as being a coniving evil trickster. Toot toot hey beep beep! But every so often I actually do something nice. This shocks some people as they start to question the theory of relativity and try and remember if they took their daily medication. So yeah I can also be a do-gooder. Yet I am no tree hugging hippie who bathes in Patchouli & Sandlewood oils, and I am not about to bust out with male Ugg boots or Birkenstocks. So you can put your hippie strength mace away. I recently joined The People's Supermarket as a member and joined the Marketing commitee. As a business owner myself, I know what it like to struggle to make a business work and it takes blood, sweat and fucking tears.

The purpose of the The People's Supermarket is to promote fair trade to all and it's members providing locally sourced foods and vegetables as well as organic that are virtually at the threat of extinction due to supermarket chains. The Big chains have a strangle hold on the farmers whom provide most foods we eat in this country and virtually place them in threat of phasing them out of business. Flowers are sold that are not flown in from other countries and foods are delievered straight from the suppliers themselves. This Co-Op is a member run and feuled innitiative, for the people by the people. This is not a new appraoch to supermarket

Paying a small joining fee, you are the required to do four hours of work within the store a month and you recieve a 10% discount.
What I find really enjoyable is that the people are friendly and that you are apart of doing something positive and helping local and small buiness while sticking the finger to the big chain supermarkets. I have to say that the produce at the People's supermarket is very lovely and I actually enjoy cooking the food I purchase as does my partner. Although he is not a member he supports the ideology of the store. He just doesn't have four hours a month to volunteer his time.

There are big plans for the store and it's quickly approaching it's 1st year anniversary. You can visit the supermarket and buy products that spa high end, mid range to standard basic foods that most households have, In anycase it's worth a visit and be apart of something positive. productive and good. Everytime I buy something I honestly feel I have made the right choice. I am not only helping the environment, and the local farmer just trying to make a honest living, but getting involved with the people of London and that is absolutely priceless. The store is quite easy to get to and would encourage anyone who lives in London to give it a vistit.

BORN THIS GAY!

No I still do not like this Tranny Caca Poopoo person and don't think I will change my mind anytime soon. Yet my old pal over in Los Angeles has come up with a stroke of Genius where he's place a spin on the "it Get's Better" campaign. Born This Way is a collection of 1st accounts of gay and lesiian people from all over the globe retelling their expieriences coming to terms with acceptance and all it encompases. In virtually three months it has become a runway success and gone viral. My favorites are the pictures as some of them are truly sweet, touching and very funny.


Paul has done a ace job and he should be praised as this now has become his main priority and it has pretty much taken over his days. You can donate to the cause to help teens understand and share your own stories too. I did so by donating $10.00 and to sweeting the pot you can read my bery own submission here. Check it out.
