I have found one of the best coffee shops EVER… and get this. It’s NOT Starbucks. Ok ok ok I know, I go to Starbucks every single morning. (Still do cause it’s so close to me). But while I was in San Diego the other day on Adams (adjacent to El Cajon Blvd), I found a little coffee shop called LeStat’s Coffeehouse and the WHOLE place is decorated like something out of an Anne Rice book. It looks like The Interview with the Vampire with a foggy chandelier, old rugs and a beaten up piano, all sorts of antique couches and area artists pieces on the walls. The whole place KICKS ASS! If any of you live in San Diego, I URGE you to check it out! It’s in Normal Heights by a bookstore and you can’t miss it. They have a selection of food too, I came in my panties eating a piece of chocolate cake with my coffee. My goodness it was HOT! Love it there!!!!
I’ve been looking around the San Diego area for a place to maybe start an art supply/studio store and checking out leasing prices. It’s frustrating because all the places I WANT to be located (University Heights, Normal Heights, Hillcrest, North and South Park) are all filled already with other businesses with no openings at all. And the places that ARE available are in areas that are low traffic and surrounded by the wrong audience so today I took a chance and drove down through National City and Chula Vista and found some places available but it’s so close to the Mexican border I’m afraid I might look like a bit of a dork starting a place when I barely know any Spanish. So that leaves me just a little flustered… maybe Pacific Beach or Mission Valley might be a better bet. Anyway that’s my little world right now. Even designed a logo for the new company as well as designed the layout and worked out the budget plan. I applied for a loan yesterday with a place that says I have a pretty ok chance of getting approved (I’m not holding my breath though). Will find out in 48 hours or less if they say yes or not. I would LOVE for them to say yes… my gawd. I can’t even imagine the possibilities. To be able to have keys to my own art building and just go crazy every day - a dream come true. Almost too good to be true if you ask me. Nothing comes this easy.
As many of you know, my favorite artist is Jennifer Janesko and just love everything about her style. Even met her a couple times! Well I purchased a set of 72 cards of hers off ebay for only ten bucks and have been studying her style (I’ve been studying lots of artists but she is by far my favorite) and decided to attempt a few “Janesko-style” sketches. Now keep in mind that these are NOT originals by me. She did the originals. The pictures you see below are MY sketches I copied from HER cards. So I can’t sell these or go distribute them all over the place, but I thought it’d be fun to share it. See? I’m versatile…
I did these versions:
Hope you like them!

The good and the bad.
The bad first.
Some asshole broke into my car and stole my amplifier, speakers, and brand new custom done stereo in my car. But that’s not the worst part. They ripped open my side door and the window (now neither of them will shut properly) and wrote a vulgar word on my car with shoe polish. Gee. Those were brand new speakers too, I only had them for 2 weeks and no one knew I had them. I called the police and filed a police report but there is no way I’ll ever see my stuff again and have to get with my insurance company to see if I can recover any money for it and look for all my previous receipts. How was I to remember the exact type of speakers they were? Argh - it just upsets me. And having someone write vulgarity on my door was even ruder. I won’t even say what they wrote, but it was a sexually offensive word.
And while sulking over the bad news, I happened to get to the good news.
The good.
Every morning between the hours of 6am-9am I sit my pretty little ass down at Starbucks and drink my favorite coffee while working on a new drawing and over the last few days I’ve gotten to meet some remarkable people and have nearly 8 business cards from freelancing opportunities coming up. I’ve been brainstorming some new projects and I think I’m going to do something really drastic. There’s a good chance I may start my very OWN art studio selling art supplies, while offering classes and tutorials, etc. I’ve been seriously considering this for 3 days, which isn’t that long but I’ve decided to take some Business Management classes in college starting January 31st and get my feet in the door so I can own my own company doing things I love and running things the way I’ve always dreamed. I’ve already drawn a layout of the building and checked out commercial real estate for lease in certain areas I like and have decided a name and logo and am currently registering it. Probably gonna get a loan to get these up and running, just gotta cross my fingers and see what happens and see if I get approved for it. Anyway it’s up in the air - never know what might happen. Wish me luck.
The art…
Thanks to sexy Chris Cross who offered some excellent advice regarding my next art fair project. I had been pondering the possibility of maybe doing a giant casino with intricate details and he suggested the Vegas strip instead - which is BRILLIANT! I am definitely going to do Vegas for my next piece *smiles* Now I just need a great photo to inspire me of Vegas so I have an idea of which direction to head. If anyone sees a great Vegas strip photo online please let me know!
I just got my wide-angle lens in the mail! Thanks to my sweet sexy sweetheart who obeyed my spell under hypnosis and bought it for me thank you! I love this attachment and it takes WAY better photos!
Love you all!
Love,
Isabella

It’s that time of year again, it’s the middle of January which means I have exactly five months to prepare my next art masterpiece for the San Diego County Fair again. Last time I worked on an architectural piece on San Diego/San Francisco mixed together and got an honorable mention. This time I want to do something different but I am out of ideas. I need YOUR HELP! I need some kind of idea of a piece to do that is intensive and hard to do and requires lots of detail (that’s why I want to start now) keep in mind that the whole thing will be done in black and white and will be created using black ink. Please help! I need some thoughts and ideas. No idea is a stupid one and even if I don’t use it, I might still throw it in there in a small place.
Mmmm a completely different note, I have been one lucky lady who got hypnotized by a very handsome and dominating man who gently put me under his spell and let me be his sweet submissive. It had been such a very long time since someone had hypnotized me for a change, and I truly loved it! Now I can officially say that every single one of my Christmas wishes came true now. All of them have been fulfilled *big kisses*
I’ve finished two erotic drawings so far this month and as much as people just oogle over my work, I can’t help but feel like I can do so much better. It doesn’t matter how many compliments I here or how many times I hear other people tell me “Do you know how much you could make?” because when I look at my art, I am my own worst enemy. Have you ever created something that took you weeks and when you get done you are so tired of looking at it that you have no interest in even sharing it? That’s how I feel.
My therapist has given me a daily balance routine where I state 8 different types of feelings I have at that current moment, some positive some negative. At first I thought it was kinda stupid but it really works. After spending 5 minutes a day doing it, I get into my center core and feel so much better and alive and feel like I can do anything. Curious anyone? Try it: Angry, Sad, Afraid, Regret, Grateful, Proud, Secure, Happy… and you simply state in short sentences what is on your mind. Like: “I am angry that it’s cold in here. I am sad that I sleep alone. I am afraid of anything happening to my cat. I regret going to sleep so late last night. I am grateful for my reliable car. I am proud to be alive and well. I am secure knowing I have a roof over my head. I am happy that I have true friends…. and of course, you keep going on and on and on until you run out of things to say. And when you get done, you end on a positive note and it makes you happy. Works for me anyway, thought I would share.
So anyway - back to the art piece - if any of you have tips on the next fair entry - PLEASE HELP?! I am desperate and out of ideas.
Love,
Isabella

Hard to believe it’s Thursday already. It seems like just yesterday was Monday night, where did all my nights go? Guess I’ve been watching too many episodes of CSI and having fun huh? lol
Just got back from work and had to slip in these comfy slippers and they feel SOO good on my feet! This week has been… eventful to say the least. I taught an art workshop today to some kids at the studio and some of their parents came to watch which was really neat because the parents thought I was pretty good. Seems so minor but sometimes getting approval from adults seems so much more satisfying. I took my camera with me and let the kids be my models for certain poses and then I let them draw themselves from the print-out photos I made for them. The look on their faces as they finished was amazing, seeing them hold up their papers and go “this me! this is me! how do I look!?”
And another little thing, seems so small but it means so much to me… I wrote a review of one of my favorite little pizzerias in my town and they’ll be publishing it in the newspaper and I’ve been hired to be a freelance photographer for the newspaper as well and will get to take photos of the restaurant staff on Saturday afternoon for publication. I’ve worked for newspapers before and had high stress behind it, but something like this where I’m just freelancing is JUST what I need. I work so much better when I can just do my job without interference.
Finally did something smart too– got renter’s insurance on my apartment. I should have gotten it a long long long time ago. I get so paranoid that something will happen - fire, earthquake, flooding, even burglary. It’s been raining constantly and with last year’s fires and the fact that San Diego is due for another earthquake soon, I’m just trying to protect what I’ve worked so hard for. At least I have peace of mind now and can fall asleep knowing I won’t be out in the dark if something happens. Peace of mind is such an underrated thing. Getting something as minor as renter’s insurance has made the biggest difference for me. I worry less about being gone so long, don’t watch the weather channel freaking out that my place might get destroyed, and can even keep my patio door open every so often.
Now if only I had a heater. Brrrr…. who says San Diego is warm?????? lol
Thanks to everyone for being so sweet and I thank you for all the calls I’ve had this week and hope to talk to you later!!! *big kisses*
Love,
Isabella

Current Wardrobe: new matching pink bikini panties and bra from The Ladies Room store and a lavender shirt that goes to my belly button
First of all I just want to thank two very special people who have just spoiled me tremendously - my New York-Russian hypno boy just obeyed my commands and bought me a showerhead massager for my bathroom which I CAN’T WAIT to use… and trust me, I’ll do more than clean myself with it - oh good god I think I’m gonna masturbate it every chance I get!! He gets soo hard when I hypnotize him into getting me things from my wishlist. I just love it! And my sweet Wisconsin hugger just bought me a telephoto lens for my Cybershot camera so I can take zoom pictures. You have no idea how much that means to me… I just loooove my camera (the one my Maryland-Attorney-Son bought for me a year ago) and I use it ALL the time. The only last thing I need for the camera is a wide-lens thing that I JUST added to the wishlist (by request) and after that… I really don’t know what else I could possibly need for the camera. I am so honored to be in this business and be among such wonderful people. You all mean the world to me whether you enjoy being submissive or just being generous. I love you all. From the very bottom of my heart!
Today I went to the mall in El Cajon and went to a store called the Ladies Room and just bought a ton of lingerie…. wearing a sexy outfit right now that shows off my little tummy. Working on a six pack, just now starting to get that look I wanted.
While I was at the mall this guy approached me and asked if I’d be interested in a marketing research thing where I get to taste-test different beers and in return I’d get paid $5 bucks. I said sure!!! I had to answer several questions and then they put two different beers in unmarked cups and asked me to drink each one and give an honest answer based on smell, color, carbonation, sweetness, smoothness, and balance. Even aftertaste. So many things they tested me on. Turns out that my favorite beer was Corona. Truth is, I had never even TRIED Corona before. I’ve always been a Crown Royal type of girl and never really got into beers. Looks like I’m more susceptible than I thought! I love finding out new things about myself….
I’m working on a new painting of a nude girl playing guitar.. airbrushed the background and am now working on a watercolor-paint on the foreground…. got a LONG way to go but it MAY have potential.
I love you all - see you soon!!!
Love,
Isabella
