It’s been a crazy hectic few weeks for me. Signed at Adultcon for a couple of days, which was great and so nice to meet my LA fans!
Meanwhile, I’ve been learning these 13 songs for my upcoming tour/reality show with ‘Tight’. I don’t know if I have everything fully memorized properly, but I did the best I could do with what little time I had to spare. It’s a lot of work taking care of business and preparing to leave town. There’s a lot involved but it’s TMI to talk about.
I’ve been shooting here and there, did two movies for New City Releasing, which I believe will be on Cinemax, softcore of course! We did a bunch of vignettes, all girls, very sexy stuff!
I shot some amazing solo videos for my website with Jay Allan and his fabulous new camera, I think it‘s the Canon SD or something, but everyone in the industry is now discovering this amazing piece of equipment. You can use still camera lenses on this HD camera, which, if you know anything about photography/cinematography, is a really big deal, and makes a huge difference in quality!
My webmaster is using the same camera, so you’ll be seeing some top notch content on my website.
Today I shot for twistys.com with photographer Dean Capture. Really beautiful stuff. 3 solo sets of pics and videos, which will also be added to my own website Monicamayhem.com I’m attaching a sneak peak of one of the pics.
I still haven’t finished packing for my 5 week trip, it’s tough to fit everything into 2 suitcases. Stage clothes, regular clothes, workout gear, pajamas, hair products, makeup, this that and the other! This is going to end up being a last minute rush job on Friday morning I’m sure!
I’m gonna try and have an early night tonight, preparing for my photoshoot for Hustler tomorrow. Let’s hope it makes the magazine! My first Hustler cover was November 2001, it was one of my most memorable days in this business to see that on the newsstands!
Wish me luck (or break a leg as they say)!
I may not have time to write much from the road, since we’re shooting non-stop for 5 weeks with limited access to our phones and computers. So if you don’t hear from me for a while, I’m still around! And you should definitely follow me on twitter/Monicamayhem for daily updates.
Until next time!
Much Luv

update…

Monday, April 5th, 2010
Well I have calmed down a lot since my last blog. I was stressed to the max! Decided to take things one day at a time, rather than trying to do everything at once, as I usually do! I think I was jet-lagged for 2 weeks, which is very unusual, but I did go through many different time zones in one month, so it’s not surprising. I guess that’s the main reason I was having such bad insomnia.
Learning 13 songs while trying to work and shoot, is a lot tougher than I thought. It would be different if I had a say in the music, but I don’t, so I have to push myself even harder. I have to fit in at least a couple of hours per day, devoted to one song a day. At the same time, doing up to an hour of my vocal lessons. So that’s what I’ve been trying to do, 6 days a week.
I decided that I needed to devote one day per week to myself, and that day is Sunday. Which I call ‘Sunday Funday’. I’ll sleep in, cook a nice big breakfast, go hiking, have dinner with friends and catch up on all my favorite TV shows. If you don’t give yourself at least one day off where you don’t think about work, you’ll go insane, and that’s the type of stress that makes you want to give up and run away.
Had a great shoot for Orona Films last week, we shot ‘Bikini CSI’, directed by Gary Orona. It was great to catch up with the ‘old school’ gang, Tabitha Stevens, Jessica Jaymes, Cheyne Collins, Nick Manning, Mya, Jay Lassiter. I shot my scene with Cheyne Collins, he’s always been one of my favorite co-stars, very easy to work with and always has a great attitude on set, which is key for any performer.
I’ve been very strict on myself the last couple of weeks. I felt like I needed a de-tox from drinking so much in Australia! So I didn’t drink for 2 weeks, then finally I caved in to peer pressure on Saturday night with the girls. I felt like, it was either go home alone on a Saturday night, or stay out and act silly with my girls. And I’m kinda over all my booty calls, so that wasn’t even an option in my mind. My motto is ‘Go hard or go home’, so of course, I went hard! I decided to be different and drink premium Sake, rather than my usual shots of Patron or red wine!
It was a good night, a little hungover the next day, but we went hiking anyway. It was so beautiful, this time up in the Santa Monica Mountains, very fresh and green. A little cold, but I guess that’s better than being deathly hot! I’m trying to talk another friend into going hiking later this afternoon, I’m officially addicted! Hell, there’s worse things I could be hooked on right?
So it’s back to work for now, got so much to organize before Adultcon this weekend. Where I’ll be sharing a booth with Sunny Leone and Monique Alexander. I may only be there fri and sat for a few hours each day, later in the afternoon or evening, since I have a lot to do before my 5 week tour starting 23rd April, time is precious right now, but I can’t wait to meet all my fans in LA!
Until next time…..
