Mayhem on tour…

Friday, June 4th, 2010
I’m currently feeling very free and happy to be back home in LA. After a grueling, 5 weeks of filming the reality show ‘Tight’ with an all girl, porn star rock band. We first stayed in Vegas in a house with one bedroom and one bathroom, for 12 days. It was disgusting how quickly the house turned into filth! And no, it was not my doing, as I am a clean/neat freak! When we arrived, we were told we had 5 days to rehearse before our first 3 gigs, though not every day was spent rehearsing, as we had a lot of other stuff to film, including the hardcore scenes for Adam and Eve’s DVD version of the show.
The first few episodes will show me in a bad light, as I didn’t agree with the way certain things were being done, I didn’t like most of the songs, and I was being realistic rather than optimistic, on top of all that, I ended up getting really sick (and no-one, except Alicia the drummer, believed me) – which dragged on the entire tour, but I got through it anyway, and still rocked out to the best of my ability!
However, I did turn my attitude around by the time the tour started, as I had seen a doctor, got some much needed anti-biotics and I had got used to everything by that stage. I decided to just suck it up, deal with the drama, and rock the songs in my own style, rather than hate on them. Although the guitarist Layla, would not tune down to my key on certain songs, thinking she knew everything, which made things quite difficult for me. Not to mention dealing with bad attitudes and immaturity.
The cities visited on our tour were Denver, Santa Fe, Phoenix, back to Vegas then LA. Of course, no reality show would be complete without total drama! The camper van we traveled in was horrendous, there’s no way anyone could sleep in that thing, so tiny and crammed, very old. Some of the gigs were just terrible, whether it be the venues, or the fact that were weren’t prepared, and needed a lot more rehearsal time. The one place we really rocked, was ’Aces and Ales’ in Vegas, owned by Alice Coopers guitarist, Kerri Kelly. We played a great version of Poison that night.
I’m not going to go into too much detail, though I have kept blogs on the whole tour, for a special write up somewhere – will let you know when that is available in the future. All I can say is, there was at least one occasion where I lost it on Layla and Tuesday – the bass player, for being bitches and talking shit about me. No I did not hit anyone, I refrained from doing so and walked away before things got really ugly. Though Alicia on the other hand, did end up slapping Layla later on down the road, which was awesome!
So to sum it all up, the show consists of Sex, Drama and Rock n’ Roll. It’s definitely going to be worth watching when it comes out. Not sure of the network yet, as the producers are going to edit it themselves and shop it around when finished. Will keep you all informed!
So right now, I am enjoying some much needed time off, after filming 35 days, a lot of 14hr days. I’m trying to take a mini vacation, but things keep coming up, perhaps a couple of days next week by the beach! I’m currently catching up on emails and phone calls, and have spoilt myself a little with a new bed, TV and a trip to the day spa! Can’t wait to get back into hiking and my healthy lifestyle. No more crap food from the road!
I really celebrated on the long weekend, hitting up a couple of hotspots in Hollywood. And had a farewell party on Wed night, as my best friends are moving back to OZ. Very sad. I think I’m going to take it easy this weekend, although, you never know what may happen!
Until next time…

here we go…

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010
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
