Miserysmalice

Just a small journal entry to let you all know that I will be posting up some photography that I have taken to share with you all.

After many requests to step behind the lens of the camera I have taken the plunge and will do so on a more serious level. As some of you would have seen in a previous journal entry I had started taking photos last year and was practicing with a trusty Pentax Spotmatic2 & film.

I will obviously state those I have taken from my own portfolio photos.  Also when time permits I shall arrange my gallery into folders to make the process easier.

I want to say a big thank you to those who I hold close as you are my inspiration for my pictures.

I think I needed this creative outlet, I just hope the ideas I've shared with some of you will come into fruition in the near future.

*LOVE-LOVE*

Wow, I only noticed that I've reached over 10,000 page views.

Thank you to those who regularly browse through this profile and a another thank you to those who troll though.

I'll be sure to do a better update in the future packed with gossip, birthday bliss and maybe some photos of my progressing baby belly. Ye,s the rumors are true people, I'm pregnant and round,though I have the best set of breast I've ever had.. lol
For further information about that please read my previous journal entry with ultrasound pics.

Lots of hugs and love to those who are closest to me.

Well wishes and good vibe to all.

Well, it was almost 4 month ago since my last update.

A heap of things have happened so I guess I had better let you all know what is happening in the life and time of Miserysmalice...

As some of you had read in my previous journal entry, I stated I was going to focus less on modelling. Well this has come to fruition due to many factors but my main one being..I'm an expecting mother.
It will be quite hard to model Victorian styled, corseted clothes while sporting a baby belly. Though, having said that what's to say a Demi Moore styled Pregnancy photo session hasn't been mentioned in a few circles. lol

With this surprising news my partner and I got ourselves engaged. As if a baby wasn't enough to so our commitment to each other, we thought a ring on the finger would seal the deal. I'll be sure to post a pic up of said ring.

Also to ice our 'family cake' I will be moving into my new house this weekend.

So it has been exciting times in the Misery household.

So here is babys first photoshoots!

It's with a great big smile on my face that I kick 2008 to the curb.

True many things have happened in 2008 and it was a very eventful year but a larger percentage of those events were of a negative nature. Anyway, 2009 is meant to be a better time and year so I will try not to dwell on such tripe. *cheers*

I hope all my friends had a wonderful festive season and kept themselves safe and merry. I also hope you all welcomed the new year with open arms and have bright and wonderful projects in the works.

My festive season was very low key but as usual I was spoilt rotten and surrounded by those who love me.


Now, all festive comments aside...

If you've noticed I've been less active on here.
Why? Because......I cant be bothered.

There is no 'greater good' being archived by me standing in front of camera (most of the time), if anything it's actually wasting time/money/energy and the second being is I cant be bothered dealing with egos of *gags and coughs* 'artists' and *gags and coughs* 'models' who think that their gallery size makes them either a 'real' artist or a 'real' model. True, it has made me laugh to no end and has provided much fuel for discussions around knowledgeable groups I socialise with but it has also made me realise that all if this *motions to deviant art* is not serious business. Out of the millions of profiles in this webspace there is only a handful that I really support and respect. Some I've worked with and some I wish I had the chance to.

Anyway....

My plans for 2009. Well lets just say I'm not as focused on pictures so much. My focal points for 2009 is my partner, friends and family. I may pose and I may not. *shrugs*


Anyway I hope you all keep safe over 2009.

I'll be trolling through your profiles no matter what and you may even get 1 or 2 comments out of me.

*tips hat*


::EDIT::

I have also managed to get my hands on some traditional cameras and have been busy snapping away. I was going to keep this quite but I've decided to let the cat out of the bag so if you want to see the world through my eyes please feel free to pop over to

Yes, the title of this journal is exactly how the last few months have been for me.

So lets start off with the commiserations first:
My life has had a few melancholy ridden hiccups of late.
(For those who have read my myspace you would already know some of this)

+ I had to make a heartbreaking decision to have my long term and very beautiful feline companion put-down after a trying and difficult life together.
Leviathian departed on the 4th of April while I held him close and told him that mummy loves him. My blue eyed boy has had nothing but an uphill battle since being shot in the head by an ex-house mate. Though being a stubborn and strong little trooper, he recovered with some minor problems (slight retardation). All of these we considered quirks and it did not cause any discomfort or impair his life until recently. Hence why that heartbreaking decision was made. I had him cremated and have his ashes in an urn that work had ordered in for me (an upside to working in a funeral home).

+ Kate, my spiny leaf insect also departed after a long life of 14months, for those who were at last years Circa Nocturna Fashion show, Kate (named: Kate Moss...Umm you work it out) was the insect I had on stage with me. I was able to keep her and she lived a pampered and long bug-life at home. She passed on the 14th of April and is missed (yes even though she is a bug).

+ I also had to make a difficult decision to end my long term relationship of 6 years. With respect for my ex-partner and the relationship itself, I will not air details on the internet about it.


Ok, so now everyone has read the worst of whats been happening, lets see if I can lighten the mood with the celebrations!

+ I've been asked to be a committee member to oversee the workings of Circa Nocturna for next year, this has been a long term goal and will mean that I cannot partake in the modeling side of the event. Though from what I can gather my input within the committee will have a longer and stronger effect than walking down the catwalk for 15seconds. *yay* Go team me!

+ I've had some wonderful opportunities to work with some wicked talent on recent months and weeks and this looks to be increasing. I can't thank these people enough for the support/patience/love that some of them have provided and it's been nothing short of an experience to have met/worked/drank/smoked/bitch with some of them.
I have also formed some strong bonds and lasting friendships from this and to each of them (you know who you are) I send vibes of love, respect and honor to have known you.

+ I was recently blessed to be an Auntie. Jesse arrived with much fanfare and I can't help but beam when I hold him. There is a connection between Nephew and Aunt and he will be the most spoilt boy this side of the world. It was love at first sight and he has filled in a hole in my heart that had been vacant for some time. I already have plans to be photographed with him, so when time permits photos will be shared in the future.

+ My Birthday has been a gone in the last week. I was treated like a birthday Princess and spoilt rotten. I can't thank my friends enough for making my weekend something remember. I had a very deserving carefree weekend, all I had to do was what I do best....Dress up and act the Princess..
Photos are up and about on the internet and when I get a chance I'll grab them all and add them to myspace.



So a big thank you to all the well wishers and people who have offered support/laughs/sympathy/hug/present over the last few months. I'm not to vocal with my emotions but please know that your support is greatly appreciated and held deep within the core of my being.
