Im so happy to announce my very first tattoo cover is out in the U.S now! There is an interview inside with me so pick it up and check it out! I believe its available at boarders,barnes and nobel,and possibly some other places as well that I do not know about yet.I also just shot for total tattoo magazine witch will be out in a few months.Thanks everyone for your support! xo

I just wanted to tell all of you thank you so much for supporting me,my decisions,and following my career for these past few years.It really means alot to have so many supporter's of my work. I put my heart and soul, all my energy into my shoots ,visually, to try and do something different to showcase my thoughts. It feels great to get recognition for my efforts. And i just have you guys to thank for that!Every poster sale, every autograph I sign really means alot to me. Its a tough industry,but hopefully i can make an impression in it. Lots of dreams so little time.

On that note.. Im really freaking nervous. For a fashion show im in saturday at smack.I love when i get way too many messages and i miss important emails of people wanting to work with me, or to be hired for events! ugh. anyways smack is a fetish party. Hard to believe my 4 almost 5 years living in ny that ive never been to one.. I should expect lots of latex lots of whips lots of human carpets.. so says sharon haha. I havnt done a runway show in a while.. I hope i dont slip and fall. it has happened to the best of us ; X anyways.. i get like a little kid with other models ive looked up to for so long. Will be nice to finally meet some of them.Yeh im still like that at heart. But sometimes people i look up to seem to always dissapoint me with their actions. Hope this dosn't happen anymore.

Ive been so bored with my hair.. i feel like i want a second color in it? or a different style? maybe short? I just put extentions in,if i cut them brett is going to kill me ! haha.

Ive been trying to keep myself busy. Its end of may and still cold in ny:( what a bummer. I need to get away to sunny, before i go crazy. I trying to plan a trip with my friend mandy to LA in august. On the agenda will be shooting alot, and filming a buzznet segment. What should I film? need some input?

I cleaned my house today and found a check to me for $50.00! i should clean my house more often!

Ill be doing an ebay auction in a week or so.. I started cleaning out my closet, i have so much stuff i def just dont need. All the funds will go towards my LA trip xo

Im also planning more short little movies with my friend worm.. I wanna do some things in nyc.. maybe times square hmm.

I went out last night, for one of the first times in a long time. I have maybe gone out to a club 4 times in the past 2 years.I get so bored now.. I dont know what it is.I also forgot how mean cab drivers are.. They get hired and dont know streets in the city! its very frustrating.The amount of cab drivers ive flipped out on is countless.well we had the worst one last night that drove us 10 min the other way from where we were trying to get to. uhhh. dont try it buddy.

During bamboozle mandy WWW.MISSMANDYMURPHY.COM

stayed with us , along with michelle star xo we took advantage and shot some Jessica louise product shots. hope you guys like them! more to come.

 

 

 

matching nails yay!

Hosting Krave in Las Vegas- every day while i was there the amazing Candace campbell did my hair. I loved it so much.. usually everyone makes my hair feel dead after the end of a trip because they use so much hair spray,but for once It felt amazing every day.

i get nervous on microphones :(

pedi and I, hes an awsome dj!

candace and I <3

my hair before a shoot the next day...

 

I keep getting asked what the little letters were next to my new tattoo.. its an Xo really small, but i made the "o" more like a little heart. I did in fact decide NOT to get a diamond. Eh everyone has them..

I leave you with our house cat .. 

MEOW.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had a great time in las vegas.. Of course I had layovers both ways. always happens when other people buy my tickets.go figure.I was still so sick when i went to vegas.. I was really trying to enjoy myself but i was so ill:(finally get to vegas.. meet up with my mom in the airport,we head over to our hotel the castle one"excabibur. The cab driver gets us there in under 10 min fat he was going 100 of course. Get into the hotel get up to our room. def dissapointed no castle anything in our room wtf! Hit up the buffet in our hotel.. so good! Candace came over to our hotel room to do me and my mom's hair before i went to host krave.We spent maybe an hour trying to get me in my corset.. the thing was horrific to get on. even more horrific to wear when your sick.fun times. We get to the club a little late but fashionable. My mom was def the hit of the party, she was dancing like crazy with all the gay guys,they all wanted photos with her. haha so much fun. Intro'd the club at 2am on the mic and left an hour later,was feeling a little too sick to be in a club :(

The next day My mom and I meet up with ama lee,candace and ama's bf to drive to the desert and hunt down the crackle sand area to shoot at. It's been a huge dream of mine to shoot in the desert,my next dream lace to shoot at is my traintrack by my house. its coming soon.There was a trailer in the middle of the desert we were at,literally in the middle of no where.I dont even wanna know who lives there! Next we went to the welcome to las vegas sign to shoot at. We got there and its open to the public for tourist shots. Next thing we know a tourist bus of 50 people gets off.. we really had to move everyone away and shoot in about 4 minutes. I think we got the shot though!

My mom and I went back to the hotel got all the sand off us . and went out on the strip.. Little did i know every guy was going to be crazy there.Every asshole guy was yelling things at my mom and I ,that were really inapropreate, they would feel stupid if they would have realized that is my mother.Needless to say I had to get in a guy's face almost slapping him by the end of the night..and we headed back to the room,we couldnt even handle it anymore. anyways we brushed it off had a great mother daughter time and got our bags packed and headed for the airport. Nice little trip xo I may be hosting krave bi monthly.. or monthly soon... in the works xo

my mom getting groped by elvis haha

My mom and I before we went to krave night club.

Getting my hair did by candace<3

Lived out one of my dreams while in vegas I've always wanted to shoot in the desert! 

makeup i literally did in about 20 min and the heatherette head piece i got for my b day! i love it

Sunday I woke up at 6am slapped on my makeup and 3 pairs of lashes and drove to  do a shoot for total tattoo magazine..They had about 5 girls come to shoot all in one day for different covers that will be out throughout the next few months.I knew everyone who came so it turned out to be such a fun day. Some of the tattoo's these girls had were beautiful!

One shot from our bamboozle tent<3 all our friends

the girls<3

damn rain at bamboozle it was so cold:(

I finally have some free time and I want to maybe take a break from modeling ,and rehearse and get some more practice singing.Im such a perfectionist with things that I never wanna release anything unless its perfect. I guess it's a good trait to have. I really want to try and live my other dreams rather than just modeling. So next week cat and I are going into a k box in the city .. its a room you rent that you can sing kareoke and record it with no one around.. just you or you and a friend. sounds like fun and a good method of practicing.

I also want to start persuing Styling shoots for other people and doing set design. Ive been good at it this long for myself, why not get hired to do it for other people? So the next month or 2 im going to focus on styling other people and their shoots. I have one a styled for ultraviolet coming out soon.

Theres just so much I want to do and I am always so busy with just modeling. Ugh Theres gotta be a way I can do everything. Another dream of mine is to have a clothing line,or makeup line. Not a t shirt line but an actual line.Another dream to add to the rest.

I did a video with work called the dollhouse..Im thinking to start doing more short little movies.. but what would you guys wanna see?

And on  another note I think im getting a diamond tattoo under my chin tomorrow? thoughts? I just want something small and cute..

 

 

Sorry i havnt been updating that much.. I was sick for 2 weeks.. dead sick. and I am actually still VERY sick ;(

Bamboozle was cool the first day.. but the second day was so cold and i had holes in my boots therefor I had sponge socks filed with water all day:( bummer. I had such a great time with mandy though. Mandy murphy came to stay with us for a few days and i miss her already,we shot with michelle star in my house for jessica louise clothing,cant wait to see the photos , mandy was so cute! 

If you guys have photos from bamboozle send em my way.. I didnt take any! :/ 

The other night I styled ultraviolet for a photo shoot.. and did the set design. I was so nervous i didnt sleep the night before i was up until 4am in my closet freaking out.. The costume I had made for sarah had came in the mail and was NOT at all what i wanted or expected.. this leads to me freaking out.I used alot of costumes and pieces i havnt worn yet, and borrowed some things from my fav designer tom tom to the rescue!I'm actually very happy with the outcome thank god! I guess thats what being a stylist is all about.. making it work under pressure.

Things are def poppin for me right now! I'm so happy turning 21 really was a start for me.. everything has been going great with my career and I think its gonna be a great year. Tattoo life magazine is out with me on the cover and a 2 page spread right now in europe. It will be out NEXT month in US. Its my first tattoo magazine :) I also just got asked to shoot total tattoo magazine this sunday when i get back from vegas:) yayyy!

I met up with tomtom today to get a new corset to wear with it.. its very punk and lots of spikes.. love it! Ran into cazwell today and had a nice outdoor lunch with the boys.summer is almost here! I can feel it.

Steve did obscura last week and to showcase the print,a bathroom themed frame! amazing. I need one!

my mini business cards came this week just in time for vegas baby. thanks mandy ! I wanna order these in all my photos. Like little trading cards.

So i packed my bags today,with alot of costumes,hair extentions ,and eyelashes. Im running away to be a showgirl. just kidding. I'm very excited to be hosting the night club KRAVE tomorrow night " may 12th ". I'm very nervous. I hope it goes well. I borrowed a corset from tom tom thats really out of control,so hopefully that will add to my stage presence.

The kitty was helping me pack my panda shower cap haha.

Its suppose to be 100 degrees the whole time im there. Great haha. Im taking a bathing suit to go swimming but i definatly do not want to get tan haha. I'm meeting up with my mom there who is going to hang out with me. Late mothers day. I wanna try to go to the crazy horse show while im there. Im staying at the excalibur hotel while im there. Def going to be weird waking up all midieval.excited to have my first drink at 21 and playing a few slots.

The next day I'm shooting with ama lee in the desert. Ive always wanted to shoot in the middle of the desert. and now its coming true! :)

I will be blogging my trip with twitter photos on http://twitter.com/ihateRaquelReed the whole time. so follow me on there!

I had the best birthday weekend! I turned 21 finally and things couldn't be going any better.I've worked hard to get to a good place in my life.Ive accomplished alot in the past two years,and i hope to only accomplish more. I spent the first day celebrating my birthday by going to the circus with jimi.We were running late and trying to run to make it . of course. We just had to go to ikea earlier! We finally get into madison square garden and try and find our seats.. all the lights are off already. We find these two seats , and sit down, thinking I dont think these are ours but oh well. Everyone was being so loud and crazy,I dont know what was going on,all I know is a guy pulled my hair and my boyfriend was getting hit with a sward by a 5 year old named cam-ron. The costumes were the only thing holding my attention,and the $10 overpriced lemonaid's;D The end was the elephants which i did want to see, they were awsome, but there were really hot girls riding the elephant a little too into it haha! and it was a family circus , we knew it was time to leave than. The next day I went to work and had a penis cake waiting for me made by my co worker Becka. I knew it was gonna be an awsome day.I got off work and went to get my milkshake tattoo. I changed into sweatpants and got ready for pain. :( But it was well worth it... Jimi and I headed home and I was passing out in the car. So tired. We were gonna just go home maybe go out later on but I was ready for bed honestly.I Go up my staires in my sweats, open my door...SURPRISE! "im scared" Is what i said out loud. hahah I was! All my best friends in one room , it was great! My expression looked like I was losing my mind because I was so shocked.Thank you to all my friends that were there,and to my other surprise,cat! My friend from cali,thank you so much for coming! it was a great present! Just make sure I am better dressed next time ! And whoever got me with that silly string is going down! My wonderful boyfriend, Jimi planned the whole thing behind my back,and called all my friends and got everyone and everything together,was the best birthday present ever.<3 Yesterday I shot with steve , tom tom corsets , and doe deer makeup, I wore a black wig for 3 sets and the corsets were hot! I'm gonna borrow one for VEGAS may 12th, hosting at Krave Nightclub. I cant wait!

Things are going good. Things are going really good! knock on wood. The other week I Video hosted an event called snapm up.. I interviewed some of the top models and photogs in my area. I co hosted with my best friend brett. I cant wait to show you guys the footage.. We were being really silly that night.







the other week I also did Dr. Sketchy's. Its an awsome drawing class . Jimi helped me into my corset before we left. But i wore sweatpants and a winter coat over. We left pretty early with enough time. But we came across traffic! ahh! were late sitting in the traffic for 40 minutes,and I'm dying in my corset haha.We finally get there and run in the room is packed and i can feel everyones eyes looking at me saying" why are you late" . We ran to the dressing room and had to put the rest of the outfit on ,very quickly. I'm falling over and tripping over Jimi trying to get my shoes off . I hear the hosts say "Please Welcome.Raquel Reed"! Oh shit. I thought. I ran out and got into a pose fast. hold hold hold. The lights were so bright my eye started to tear. Oh shit, I thought again."I hope no one can see that" . haha

It was a great time , the 20 minute poses I had to hold at the end were killer. But I needed that workout haha.Some of the drawings I saw that people did were amazing! The were so detailed,for doing them so fast. I was blown away. Glittle cupcakes sponsored the event. And they were yummy! I made the most tips any model has ever made there apparently. So All that rushing was well worth it. I had a blast! Sometimes I wish I could just put a slow motion.button on my life.







































I turn 21 next week! WOAH that came fast. I cant wait though,I'm getting a milkshake tattoo the night of my birthday. But i work on my birthday :( of course. We may go to the circus at madison square garden,And of course a fudgy the whale cake! yum. It usually takes me a week to eat the whole thing.

So many things coming up. BAMBOOZLE . We will have a tent there ! We just got the banner today it is huge and amazing. My posters should be here any day now. I cant wait , I always love a good POSTER.I started doing my usual routine of arts and crafts for events.
If you wanna know how much the stuff we will be selling is.. haha



My tattoo cover comes out in EUROPE april 15th,so you guys will be able to see the cover very soon. The magazine will be available in US JUNE 1st.I cant wait to see. The hair was crimped and huge like christina from the moulan rouge music video.

I am hopfully Booking a job in VEGAS! how perfect would that be for 21! It's for the #1 gay club in vegas,get ready trannies! im coming! I would be hosting,Should be nerve wrecking in a positive way. Hopfully my mom will meet me there and a friend of mine, would make for the perfect trip.. we're just trying to work out dates right now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm filming with worm this month , were doing a funny short movie,of me and my alter ego, I wanna start doing film work a little more. Maybe make it a series? we'll see xo

I came home from boston and there was a little friend left on my bed..

those are lipstick marks on my arm from the previous shot.. haha dont ask.

we shot mikealis an up and coming rapper in nyc's music video two nights ago.Some how I got dragged into having a fake siesier on the ground.. and mike was saving me i think? haha no clue .. should be really funny though we were being so silly that night. Someone jacked money out of everyones wallets during that shoot. thats ny for ya! haha we were happily reemburst for our stolen goods though.










After filming we headed to pedro's house to get ready than swing by amandas pick her up and go to hiro. Big gay Hiro.danced to overly gay techno music and surrounded by half naked gogo boys flapping their bananna's around.But for us it was lady's night.so much fun.. but work the next day wasnt.I came home and ate crab cakes at 4am so good.

tracy lords:cry baby my new inspiration.. her look was too good in that movie her bangs were so short, brett wouldnt let me cut mine that short yet though. :(

You have to listen to your hair dresser.

We worked on our house for the past two months getting it cozzie,and trying to reflect us. We still have alot more work to do .. but heres a little sneak peak of my house. white walls have always bothered me so the first thing we did was invest in painting the walls.we also have black couches now no more green. the upstair's looks like barbies house i love it.




maybe ill take photos of the others room's soon.I've been getting goodies in the mail from a few latex designer's, it's been like christmas! hot pink latex with teal stars with matching gloves.. too good, too too good.

went to brett's house this week to catch up watch to wong fu and do hair. what else? liquesa got rhianna'a hair cut.. so short it looked awsome though!

my website has been pushed back.. my web girls comp broke a few months ago so we cant work on the site till after x mas.
:( ill just keep you guys updated on here and buzznet for now.

I still havnt posted photos from la so i thought id do that for you guys. I had such a great time while I was there .. It was very short though .. was literally there for a day and a half.I stayed at the standard hotel which is very modern. I always love staying there.I saw my mom and she stayed with me the whole time.. it was really good seeing her it had been forever.. Also saw my best La friend Jessica,she is always a good time.








we are rediculous together.. ive known her since high school.
im random these are my feet.


The hotel room was rediculous . everything was really sexual,and my mom was staying with me how awkward hahaha.

this is the heater button in the room..


and the weird condoms that came in the room hahah

of course my mom was the one to point these out haha



rediculous haha

so while i was there for one night i figured is take advantage and shoot with ama.. she made this awsome gold prom backdropfor us to shoot with. it was so last minute and we shot in about an hour.


also shot with destroy inc that same day.

she drove jessica and I back to the hotel met up with my mom again. and went to the cha cha lounge . Ran into dan O wearing an alumni shirt!


that really made my night!

The next day my mom and I spent the day together.. it was really nice this is her.. we really do look alot alike.




met this gorgous girl named deena at a filming that same day.. she was so cute! I had to take a photo with her.


flew back to ny that same day and made it to work on time..ugh i was so tired..

doing a house call tomorrow doing a girls makeup tomorrow night.. than a christmas party. shot with steve two days ago with lauren WK . I had the best time.. Shot in latex.. for a zivity set. i cant wait to see the photos. I wanna get more into latex. it interests me. I have alot to learn about it though.zivity is an online place for models and photogs to put sets of 10+ photos up of shoots.. you vote and how many votes you get you can get up to 30-60 cents per vote. i think steve said. you have to be invited to join though and i believe 18+ http://www.zivity.com/users/RaquelReed check it out.
