has it already been a week?  Ah, yes, ten days.  It alll pretty much started when Draven Star (http://www.burningangel.com/girls/draven/) came to visit.  I picked her up at the train station and we drove home to my house with my very cute chihuahua who decided that she loved Draven right off the bat.  We spent the first night just chilling, and the next day we went over to Club Groove (http://www.clubgroovelive.com/) to have a drink and I talked to the promoter there about the possibility of hosting an event or doing a burlesque show or both.  We also had worked the day shift at club castaway, which seemed like the most DEAD day at club castaway ever.
  The NEXT day was my actual birthday.  First I shot a clown porn set for St. Patty's day that you'll all get to see real soon on www.bellavendetta.com.  After that we went to Mazzeos Ristorante and I had about 15 people come and eat an AMAZING dinner with me.  Homeade gravlox with capers and olives and egg and onion and YUM! And of course the famous chicken pastina soup and I had homeade cavatelli with chicken and snowpeas and it was INCREDIBLE.  Followed by many, many shots of chilled limoncello.  After the restaraunt photographer Chris Addams drove Draven and I home.  he has this sexy mustang gt so I asked him to drive  as fast as he could.  I now know what 150 mph feels like.
One of my good friends got me a bottle od swedish absinthe for my bday.  Of course I HAD to taste it...several hours later I was punching chris addams in the face repetedly, out of love of course.
The next day was my official birthday party.  It was held at Hells Acres in Lee, MA.  Well, there were problems from the jump, and I spent the first four hours on the phone giving people directions and holding their hands so they could get there.  Despite me telling everyone NOT to follow their gps and to follow my directions, lots of people followed their gps, which brought them to a closed down road.  that's what you get for not listening to me.  Despite being on the phone for several hours, uncooperative strippers etc etc, I STILL managed to relax and have a good time, somewhere around 5 am.
The next day Draven and I had been invited to a swanky acedemy awards party by http://biffma.com/ so we went and dressed all fancy and drank some pomegranate champagne sprintzer thing.  And ate yummy finger foods and very small chocolate cakes.  Apparently we caused quite a stir.  www.ruralintelligence.com had a photo of us up but it later got removed, I suppose because people complained that a cultural site was promoting porn stars. Oh well...our films are independently produced too!
The next day we shot an AMAZING easter set.  sometimes it's really fun to do cliche porno things.  Like shoot porn on a bed with peeps and easter grass.  that will also be available on www.bellavendetta.com for easter.  Draven also shot a solo set that rules!  I made her a roasted cornish game hen with an apricot glaze and it too was awesome.
The next day we had a party at haven goth club which was EXCELLENT!  LOTS of people showed up, they loved us on stage we signed autographs and sold merch and drank red headed sluts and had a wonderful time in general.
The next day we were feature dancing at Anthony's gentlemen's club.  which was a bust from the beginning.  When we got there they had like 2 posters up, and no flyers.  people didn't even know we were coming.  Not that many people showed up so it was kind of sad.  the dj didn't feel like getting on the mic so I took it from him and yelled to try and get people more amped, but I think I just made them mad.  Also: my jackey that I had JUST bought got stolen, along with some of the merch from the merch table.  It was kind of the opposite of fun, which is sad cuz I had tyold Draven how fun anthony's was. oh well.  We stayed up all night and I interviewed Draven for www.superdps.com and we ate frozen dinners and watched tv til the wee hours in the am.
Poor Draven had to get up and shoot for like 5 hours the next day, I spent the day being a diva and negotiating shit with the clubs.  Then we had an AWESOME dinner from the 350 grille in springfield, excellent steak and scallops.  Then we went to club centerstage to feature there.  It was a BLAST!  Lots of people showed up and we shot some stuff for Xtreme magazine and we danced our little hearts out and despite the dj pronouncing draven's name wrong several times we still had a great time.  Gave away some BA magazine made some money did some shots and proceeded to stay up alllll night in the hotel and drive home hungover the next day.  We had a recovery day, and actually I think I needed a recovery day from my recovery day.
It was an awesome whirlwind tour.  I wish I could do this once a month!  I think Draven should just move back to western MA and hang out with me all the time.

I would also like to mention some of the AWESOME gifts I got from friends and fans, there was of course, the bottle of absinthe from sweden, I also got the peter beste book that I've always wanted, True Norwegian Black Metal huge coffee table book full of amazing images from all my favorite bands.  I got this awesome baphomet necklace from a fan that Ive been wearing every day.  I got jesus christ superstar on dvd which Ive since watched several times, I got the behemoth live exhaton the art of rebellion dvd and cd!!! I am pretty stoked.  It's nso funny tho, that I can put like, sex toys and shoes on my wishlist and no one cares, but people love for me to have satanic jewelry and books and music.  That makes me really happy
