MY 2008 in Review Part 1
Sunday, January 4th, 20092008 was a crazy awesome year for me and 2009 is going to be even better, I just know it!!:)
Here’s a wrap up of my year:
January- Jan 1 I left the party I was at and logged onto my webcam by 3am. I was the only American chick online and I had a long crazy night staying up with everyone else that stayed home, and that night I announced on cam “if the rest of the year is like tonight, it’s going to be a great year!” And it was! :)
at the beginning of Jan., I found myself at a Playboy Mansion party with my previous webcam cam company, where I met someone who eventually because the webmaster of the 1st www.AaliyahLove.com, but it would be months before either of us knew that.
I also started working with a new webcam company, webcams.com! It was hard to leave the 1st cam company I ever worked for for 4 years, but I knew if I wanted to grow and expand, I would have to move on. Despite many crazy rumors I have heard, I was the one that left the company, and on good terms.
February- I attended the XBiz awards with my friends form webcams.com. I stood at the back of the room and wished that one day I would do something that would get me a nomination! :)
I also worked a lot on cam at my new site and met a whole new set of chatters that I would get to know very well throughout the year
March-March 3rd was my B-Day, which I spent on my webcam, online all day. I got soo many long private shows and tips this day, I just might have to work on my b-day every year hehe!
March was the month that I got some time to talk to the guy I met at the playboy mansion about maybe setting up my own site. After a couple of business dinners, I was convinced, and I was so excited, this had been my dream for 5 years!
I started collecting outfits and toys for photoshoots and scouting out a photographer, whom I soon found at the XRCO awards!
In the beginning of March I attended a porn convention in Phoenix. I arrived alone, and as I was entering the hotel a sexy girl came running up to me and hugged me. “You’re so cute! I need to shoot with you sometime!” She was Ashley Fires, and right there I knew I would have to have her someday. I didn’t see her for the rest of teh show, but I met some very sexy girls there and had a blast. I made out with a couple hot girls and.. erm.. guys at the convention and had a great time!
A couple days later, I was home in La, working my booty off on my webcam every free minute I had.
April-I was invited to attend the XRCO awards show with Stephanie Swift and some of her friends, even though I had never met her before. This was my first night meeting her and she was beautiful. She told me she would love to fuck me.. I mean, shoot with me, sometime soon, and once again I knew I had ot have this girl! :) Well when I was drunk at the bar, I was telling a group of people how it was hard fo rme to find an honest, professional photographer, one that won’t hit on me or be creepy, just take some phenomenal pics. “I’m that guy!” My now good friend and photographer Steve said. I took down his number and told him I would call him when I figured out a way to fund my first shoot! There is a pic of me in my leopard print dress and a red face all drunk at these awards on my site and on my myspace! :)
Later that month I started shooting for AaliyahLove.com. The plans to build my site were already underaway, and the 1st expected launch date was supposed to be MAy 1st. I shot with 3 different photographers this month, two of whom are friends of mine that do photography on the side, and one was Steve and his partner Warren. Although they all did a great job and got me some great pics, Steve and Warren were so professional and genuine, and the content we shot was AMAZING, I never knew anyone could make me look that great! (My french maid, Mirror Mirror and Crotchless Panties scenes are all form this first shoot)
May- in early May the launch date of my site was pushed back to June1st and I got frustrated. I also shot some more content, I was tryign to get as much saved up as I could because I knew once I launched my site, at 1-2 new videos being released a week, it would go quick! This is the month I met the sexy Lena one day when I was just stopping by my photogrpaher’s house to drop off a check. She sauntered out of the bathroom butt naked and gave me a hug hello. Well 5 minutes went by, and I had learned that she was a vegetarian like me, younger than me, and that I wanted to kiss her so bad. 5 minutes after that I had her named in the bathtub, sucking on my pussy. She only had a couple minutes to take pics with me, so I never got any video with her. You can find these pics on my site, they are called “Bathtime with Lena”. I still hope one day we can shoot together again and we can recreate this scenario, only this time on tape so you uys can watch!!:)
I also started really working on making my myspace account huge this month, because I knew once I launched my site, I would need all of the help I could get spreadig the word! My goal was 5,000 friends. I now have over 10,000! :)
Another one of my first shoots was with Ashley Steele, who taught me a lot about the ins and outs (haha get it?) of shooting. You can find these videos on my site! We had such a great time together and became instant friends.
June-Early June I was told the launch date of my site would be pushed back YET AGAIN GRR!
June 10-13 I spent at another porn convention in San Fransisco. I hadn’t been to SF in years, and this was my 1st chance to really enjoy the city. The restaraunts in SF are amazing, I remember all of the yummy biz lunch and dinners I got to enjoy! I met some hot chicks that I wanted to shoot with at this show, but alas didn’t get any shooting done at the show. I still have their fone numbers, I shoudl hit them up hehe :) I also spread the word and got a lot of programs promising to promote my site if and when it came out, which I wasn’t sure when, because the launch date kept on getting pushed back. Looking back, I should have been more patient, and I only had about 15 videos and pic sets collected by then, but I was very anxious to finally get my own site!
After SanFran, I decided I needed a vacation and took an impromptu vacation to Maui, Hawaii with Ashley Steel! We had such a great relaxing time! We tried to broadcast our webcam live form the hotel room but the internet connection was crappy at best, so we decided to shoot some sexy pics and videos instead! Some of my fav pics were taken on the nude beach, and my fav video is when I teach Ashley how to panty-stuff. I will never forget the look on her face when I stuffed those panties in my pussy-LOL! But I’m not going to go into details about our trip here, because I already told you guys all about it in another blog. To sum up my trip to Maui, I love Hawaii, Ashley Steele is HOT!!:)
My site launched while we were in Hawaii, which was crazy for me since I really wanted to be on webcam the 1st day, even though I only had about 5 members that 1st day hehe.. I was sooo excited, finally my own site!
The day I got back form Maui I shot my July 4th pics and videos for my new site, they were one of the first pic sets to be released on my brand new site!
July- I actually found time to go to the beach a couple times in July, and this is the first year in 4 years that I decided to take July 4th off of webcam and enjoy a fireworks display. I remember standing in a beautiful park overlooking the ocean and realizing how lucky I was to live in California. I swore to myself that I would try to take more time off of webcamming and to enjoy the beach and my surroundings! This promise still hasn’t come true hehe..
I also became increasingly frustrated with the management of my website, it seemed like every request I had would take a week to even get noticed, I had a lot of plans for this site and I wasn’t sure if I had made the right decision with the company I had gone with, but I continued to do what I do best, shooting pics and videos to put up for you all to enjoy :)
phew guys I have been typing for hours! This really was a crazy year for me! I think I gave everyone plenty to read here, tomorrow I’m going to finish my year in review. July-present!!:) Good night guys!!:) XOXO
