Miami 2011


I will be the first to admit, I may be the big 3-0, but I still have a smidgen of party left in me. Truth be told, I think I always will. Not like Paris Hilton- drunk party, but more like Don't Stop the Music- party. I am working on my dancing technique, because at the moment, I think I am a bit awkward on the dance floor. Kind of like this.

Just teasing. I like Kimbra.

Back in 2009, I reconnected with one of my good friends from high school. After months of gloomy chatter about men and work, we decided to leave the stress behind and head for
Miami
When we touched down the weather was windy, rainy, and cold. Perfect for sleeping and reading. Unfortunately, sleeping and reading was NOT apart of the plan.


She was playing these drums with everything she had.
The energy was insane.
Heeeey Tara!

The Clevelander was perfect for us. First and foremost, the rooms were CLEAN and clutter free. Secondly, it was budget friendly.
We were offered a free upgrade, but bigger isn't always better.
The location of the hotel was ideal.
This is what happens when the economy is a mess.
He got laid off from his job and
this is what he has been doing ever since.
How do I know? I asked him.
Clearly, I didn't see Jaws behind me.
Cheers to the Big..
Cheers to dreaming less and living more!
My Pizza Boo. I sat down and he started talking. I cropped me out. I was looking a lil off from being at the beach.
Hanging out in the Everglades. Taking it all in.


An alligator can jump 6ft in the blink of an eye.
Sometime I question my sanity.
This is the gelato shop where the kids from the Jersey Shore worked. They were open until 11pm every night and I was there every night. Pistachio and Hazlenut are my favorites.
The last morning of every trip, I get up before everyone else to reflect and gather my thoughts before heading back to the madness of my other life.
One day these lives will collide and I won't have to plan
Getaways because Everyday I will live in my element.

Miami 2011: World Erotic Art Museum

A trip to Miami Beach would not be complete without a little culture. There are several museums in Miami. I decided to visit the World Erotic Art Museum. In the Museum of Sex, I could take as many pictures as I wanted. At the WEAM they were prohibited, except for the floor to ceiling gold phallus. I think that one restriction is a reflection of their level of sophistication surrounding a topic that can go from educational and interesting to lewd and lascivious really quickly. I did take advantage of both photo-ops, however I just can’t seem to bring myself to post anything. Even the one of just my backpack resting on a shiny pair of larger than life size testicles is still enough to make you blush.



The Naomi Wilzing Collection includes:


· Items from various time periods. Including 300AD


· Female Cantaur sculptures ( these freaked me out a bit)


· Bibical Art


· Water Colors by Peter Fendi


· Shunga


· One piece described as” Woman sitting before 11 miniature, “spent” and escaping Japanese men.” From the 1900 (Think the infamous Lil Kim pose. )


· Some of Frida’s work


· 1930 Pinups


· Surrealism


· Of course a photos and quotes from Ms. Monroe herself,” I feel that beauty and femininity are ageless and can’t be contrived and glamour can’t be manufactured. Real glamour is based in femininity. Sexuality is attractive when it is natural and spontaneous. We all are born sexual creatures, thank God, but it is a pity so many people despise and crush this natural gift.”


· A sculpted ceramic phallus covered in Swarovski crystals; AND


· So much more.

The collage above is of the rug at the entrance, a layout of the museum, and of the infamous Kama Sutra bed. The bed was created by a German artist. He carved 138 positions from the Kama Sutra into each side. Including the 4 phallus bed post. That photos is courtesy of www.failfun.com.



" I consider erotica an authentic art form whose time has come, and a captivating means to enhance and enlighten one’s own perception of life. I am really pleased to share my erotica collection with you, which until now had remained private. The WEAM is the realization of my dream and publicly acknowledged the harmony of mankind in its most natural state. Enjoy.” ( Miss. Naomi)
