Tomiko's Blog

LOL  I am just not good about blogging everyday.  I have too much on my plate, but I am trying….honest.

I have a lot to blab about on this one, so just wanted to warn you.

First, I will talk about the great time I had going to the Detroit area.  Such great people that live there and really great to work with.  JJ Plush was kind enough to allow me to stay at her beautiful condo.  She has really great furniture and I was able to shoot one of my clips for my clips store with Boris.   I did a Wonder Tomi clip so I know you guys will love that since I haven’t posted any superheroine stuff in a long time!  I don’t have any stills from it yet because I haven’t started editing it yet.

I got to wrestle with a guy on Thurs night (the night I flew in).  He allowed me to freshen up in his home which I thought was really sweet.  After a long flight, it was nice to be able to get cleaned up a little before having to get sweaty again.

Boris is always a blast to work with so when he came over to JJ’s place, we had a great time and headed out for Italian food afterwards.  He was so sweet he thought about JJ and her roommate and bought some dessert for me to take to them.  What a guy, huh? 

That night, I took JJ and her roommate out for drinks as a “Thank you” for staying at her place.  I wanted to take her out for dinner, but the time was just not working out.  I got booked with a ton of shoots and matches.   It was crazy!  We went out and had fun, but stayed out way too late.

I had an early AM wake-up, but I got my butt up and made it happen.  My drive was a little scary to Ohio (Collingsworth Arts Center).   It was a little over and hour and the rain was coming down so hard.  I had to slow down because it was hard to see.  I managed to schedule shoots with people all day back to back which really didn’t allow for any breaks.  lol  What was I thinking?  Well, there was so many talented people there to shoot with that I simply didn’t want to take a break.   I have received some pics so far, but still haven’t seen any yet from some of the other photographers, but I wanted to share some of the pics from the shoot.

That is all I have for right now and I am waiting to hear back from at least 3 other photographers, so stay tuned!!!  I will definitely share some pics from them once I have some of them.

Hope you guys like the pics.  As you can see from these, I worked with a great group of people.  I feel super lucky to have that opportunity.

I got back super late from that event because I did some more work with Michael so we are talking after midnight when I got back to JJ’s place.  I was super tired.

Sunday, I had to get up early again and get all my stuff packed.  On the way to my hotel, I had a shoot with Alan.  We shot some bondage stuff in the Wonder Tomi outfit, so I am sure you guys will like that. 

I had to rush to the hotel and hope for an early check in which I got, thank goodness because my next shoot was at 1:00.  I had the pleasure of wrestling with as well as tickling and lifting and carrying, Victor.  What a great guy.  We were scheduled for 2 hours and got more than hour of tape.  He wanted to be on my clips store, so that is the first project I have been editing and it is done.  I am just in the process of editing in the different formats so I can upload it.  We had great conversation and I think he had just as much fun as I did with the storyline.  I had a tiny bit of time when were done, so we had some lunch at the hotel before my next appointment.  Did I also mention that he was sweet enough to bring me a teddy bear???  As you guys know, I collect them and this one was so cute.   Special thanks to Victor.

Victor and me wrestling.

Following that shoot I worked with Mark, another sweetheart.

The next morning, I had two more wrestling sessions and both were sweethearts.

Since my plane didn’t leave until later than evening, I headed back to JJ’s place after checking out of the hotel and had lunch with her.  We also shot a couple of clips (one for each of us), so I am pretty excited about that. 

Got on the plane, but I wasn’t heading back to Vegas….”Say what???!”  That’s right….I was heading to Hershey, PA for my next gig.  This time it was portfolio modeling and I worked with Randy.  What a nice guy and we shot some really great pics.  Here are a few to share with you.

Yet, you think all I did was work?  Nonsense, I had to take some pics of this cute little town and also, Randy took me to Chocolate World where I ate me some hershey kisses.   yum!  I also did the tourist thing and bought some souvineers.   Unfortunately, the factory doesn’t do tours anymore, so I could only take a picture.

There was this silly ride and these were fake factory looking things to show you how the chocolate was made.  There were even singing cows!!!

….and no, I didn’t not eat this chocolate bar.

Here are some sites around Hershey.

Mr. Hershey with orphans he helped.

I hope you liked the pictures.   I am going to be heading to sleep soon.  I am so tired.  I just got back from the Los Angeles area (sorry no pics from that).  I flew in yesterday and came back today.  It was a fast trip, but I managed to get a really bad sun burn.  Doh!

I am going to be uploading my updated acting reel before I go to bed, so be sure to check it out.  It has new scenes it from movies and commercials that I have done, and I would love to hear what you guys think.

Have a great night and thanks so much for stopping by and reading my blog.  I really appreciate your support!

xoxo
