I Like My Cake Extra Toxic

Here's a bit of an update on my Toxic Toppers ... I have created a few special cake tops for some special people this year and would like to share my creations. Two for my friend Sara's children (Sesame Street and Spiderman), one for my friend Val's boy (Transformers), and one for my photographer friend Richie (Nudie girl on camera lens). I have dabbled in birthday cakes this year, but would love to continue creating goth inspired wedding cake toppers. I plan on creating a few in 2010 to sell as is, rather than creating custom toppers. However, if you would like to request a custom job please email me: sweetsindee@gmail.com or visit the Toxic Toppers store front at - http://ladymisfit613.etsy.com

Underworld - Blood on the Yule Ball

Wednesday Dec, 23rd marked UNDERWORLD's third annual Blood on the Yule Ball. It was a fantastic goth/industrial holiday bash complete with Queen of the Yule Ball pageant - which yours truly took part in of course! I sprinkled myself with glitter and sprayed white on my mane to create the perfect "Goth Snow Queen" costume for the contest. Thanks to all my friends and the others at Underworld who thought my costume rocked, I WON! :) I won a gift certificate to Gothic Renaissance, a bottle of True Blood, free admission to Underworld for the year and tons of compliments! Besides winning the contest, I had a blast that night! Everyone was in such great spirits. I am a true believer - the holidays bring out the best in everyone.

"It's called Twilight Vision but it has nothing to do with that shitty vampire book and movie"

For the past few months I have been working with a new web show as their host. The show is called Twilight Vision, and as the head honcho Kevin says, "it has nothing to do with that shitty vampire book and movie". It is a show created to document the happenings of the underground/subculture/alternative scene. They have shot everything from movie premiers to alternative beauty pageants. So far I have worked on three episodes: the movie premiere of the Death of Alice Blue - a vampire flick with a dark humour twist; the Original Sin Cider pin-up poster contest; and most recently the movie premiere of Kids Go to the Woods... Kids Get Dead - a campy slasher film with an Elvira-esque host, guts and gore, and silly humour. Check out the first two episodes below.

Fangoria and Gwar - a little girl's dream come true

Friday, June 5th I had the pleasure of modeling for Redbuttafly in the X-Treme fashion show at the Fangoria Convention in NYC's Jacob Javits Center - and it freakin' rocked! It especially rocked because it was co-hosted by one of my all time favorite bands, GWAR! Boy was I psyched when I saw we were sharing a dressing room and the stage with them! GWAR even seemed to take a liking to me since I was transformed into a decaying zombie for the runway. What an experience... definitely a night to remember.

(In pictures above: Gwar's stuff backstage and Sin Dee on the catwalk with Gwar.) Check out my MySpace page for more pics from the night.

*Special thanks to Red and Lola from Redbuttafly for inviting me to take part in this awesome event.

Do the zombie! Rarr rarr rarr rarrr.... Do the zombie a whoa yea!

I just got cast in another zombie film! Woohooo! This time I start out as a "rocker chick" who gets killed and turns into a zombie. Sounds like tons of fun! The film is by Anxiety Films called : Ghoul Scout Zombie Massacre. I'll keep you updated of course.

"I'll be your zombie diva".

Some people have a fear of the decomposing walking dead. I on the other hand, would like to be their friend. :) I have always had a fascination with creepy dead things and horror movies. When approached to pose as a zombie for the very talented Art-i-ficial photography, I was thrilled. And that's when it all started... I am now part-time undead Sin Dee, Diva zombie! hahahah...

Art-i-ficial's photo was posted by Zombie Pin-Up at http://www.zombiepinups.com/! Shortly after I posed as a rotting corpse for Richard Scalzo and again for Art-ficial (this time wrapped in plastic wrap in an attempt to keep me fresh!).

Recently, I had the pleasure of really living out my new zombie self by being an extra in the short film Zombie Chronicles: The Infected (http://www.whataretheinfected.com/). You can read my bio and view the trailer which features me cornering and eating a victim! I am in two scenes total where I attack innocent victims during a zombie epidemic. The film will be released directly to DVD and made available for sale on the website. I had tons of fun filming this. The director and staff were so fun, and the makeup artist did an amazing job. I really looked like my throat had been ripped out! :) A twisted little girl's dream come true!

I am meeting with Eric of Anxiety Films soon in hopes of being a zombie in his upcoming short film as well! I can't wait!

And... to top it all off, the NYC Zombie Crawl is back in full effect! May 31st people will meet in Brooklyn to transform into Zombies. We will then go on a pub crawl through Brooklyn ending at an after party for the undead. Previous parties included contest, zombie models/burlesque, and live music. I'm definitely taking part this year and hope to see some of you there.

Hugs and Punks,

Sin Dee, the Zombie Diva

Welcoming Tricks Into My Heart

I am soooooo super excited to welcome a new beautiful baby boy kitten into my home. I responded to a craigslist posting a few days ago and after a day of suffering I was told I could adopt the little fella'. He is the most fluffy and adorable little creature I have ever laid eyes on. He is black and 7 weeks old.

I went out yesterday and purchase (A LOT) of new kitty cat supplies. A leopard print bed, a scratching post, a litter box and litter, two mouse toys, some bath-time wipes, a brush, a collar, and a little leopard print tunnel toy he can run through! I'm so excited to pick him up Saturday and spend the weekend playing with him.

But not worries! I have not neglected my turtle, Scotty. I bought him a brand new tank (twice the size of his current tank), a new filter, and a tiki toy that Richie insisted I buy him. :)

Below are pictures of my new baby kitten, Tricks and his big brother Scotty.

I hope to one day when I move into a bigger dwelling I can adopt a second kitten and name him/her Treats. Get it? Tricks and Treats :) I am really set on my second kitten being a disabled cat. I care so much about animals and hate to think that no one would adopt a cute furry buddy just because he is missing an eye or a leg. They need love too. Tricks is perfect and healthy, but I plan on adopting a special cat in the future.

Family Ties and Love Knots

It's sad to say this out loud, but my very dear uncle Julio Rodriguez passed away on April 16th due to a rare terminal brain disease. This being said, I've gone through a lot in the past few weeks and have done A LOT of thinking. It became so clear how important family can be and how true the "blood is thicker than water" saying is. I went down to Florida for the viewing, wake, and burial. This is when reality set it. I never imagined having to hug and hold so many of my family members. Showing them I was there for them and loved them no matter what. I wanted to do whatever I could to make everyone's pain go away. It was amazing to see my cousins and I reunite the way we did, as if it hadn't been a long time since we last saw each other. To comfort one another and say "I love you" over and over. I am usually not affected by sad situations and it is usually thrown in my face. Someone will say "How can you not be crying? You're such a bitch", but someone has to be the sane/strong one while everyone breaks down. I shed a few tears during my time in Florida. Seeing my uncle in his shell in the casket, then watching the pain of my Aunt and Cousin. It hurt inside to know that one day I would have to feel that way should my mother or lover pass away.

My trip to Florida lead to deep deep thinking. How do you throw away true love, when you know you'll never find anything like it again? I decided to be strong and forgive (but not forget), because I want the type of love my Aunt and Uncle had for 25yrs... and I know I already found it. I want nothing more than to be happy... and true love makes me happy. I found that special only-in-the movies type of connection and I'll be damned if challenges and struggles will take that away from me. In my life, when it rains it pours, but when the clouds clear out it is painfully beautiful. It just takes time for the clouds to clear. I'm willing to be patient and put forth the effort.

Basically, I've decided to give love a chance. I've learned that family will ALWAYS be there, I will always be there for them, they come first, and they are the most special part of your life. I have decided to keep better contact with my family. Particularly my cousins. I would hate to grow apart from such wonderful and strong people.

Hugs and Punks (and love!) to all,

Sin Dee

Curvalicious conflicts...

I've had something on my mind lately....

Size and body shape has always been an internal conflict for me as a model. As a pin up model, the genre embraces full figures and curves, however the general modeling industry doesn't. I have gained some weight since I first began modeling, and I've received mixed reactions to this. Some people love the new bootylicious me ... some think I look overweight and unfit. With people telling me two different things, it is harder to further my modeling career.

Which "look" to do go for? Should I choose how I feel most comfortable or should I make sacrifices for my career and look the way the want me to? Do I look the way men want me to or do I look the way photographers want me to? It's a hard decision and working on a woman's body is hard enough. I could only wish people weren't as superficial as they truly are. Unfortunately, relationships begin from a physical attraction. And in the modeling industry, your jobs are based on your looks. Which is most important, the career or the love life?

It's sad to know that no matter how amazing your personality, you do judge a book by its cover.

Hugs and Punks,
A slightly sadder Sin

Freeze! TIME OUT

Time Out magazine wrote an article on the NY Pin Up Photography Group! How fun! Check out the full article (including quotes by yours truly) at the following link: http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/own-this-city/72984/the-new-york-pin-up-photography-meetup-group

Cut it out and cut them off

I am known for quickly cutting people out of my life who do me wrong. I am not the person to give someone a second chance. As a friend (or more) I am dedicated and give these people in my life my all.. or as much as I can to make sure they are happy. When someone proves that they have taken my friendship for granted or do not respect me, then I quickly erase them from my life. Unfortunately for me, this is a common theme in my life. I love and give love... then eventually it bites me in the ass. It is more traumatic this way because I am so loyal and dedicated to people, that when they do hurt me, it hurts about 50 times more than it should.

In the past six months I have been faced with many life changing decisions which included cutting a few people out of my life. Unfortunately, some of these people were the most important people in my life. It was one of the most painful times of my life... but I always know these decisions are for the best. They can only make you stronger.

Nowadays it is harder to become close to anyone and trust just anyone. I have tried building relationships/friendships, but luckily for me... I've come to find out sooner than later that most people in this world play games. Most people lie, are selfish, and could care less about another person. It makes me wonder if there are any genuine and loyal people out there. Someone who is truly brutally honest from day one, someone who will be a true friend, someone who cares about the happiness of others, and someone who doesn't play games. I can only cross my fingers that I can come across more of these positive characters and invite them into my life.

The Mod of my Bod

I've created a monster. ... and I like it. It was only a few years ago when I met my dearest friend Justine in college. Your average blond-bombshell-good-girl-next-door-athlete. Why we became friends? I guess opposites attract would be safe to say. Well, when our friendship was still young and fresh, my polo wearing buddy asked me to take her to Claire's. I suppose my metal adorned ears had inspired her to ditch the two studs and add on a few holes. After that, I think Justine was hooked. A few more trips to Claire's for lobe hole punching and she was ready for a real piercing shop. At this point I had played around with piercing some more and had added on a nose ring and septum ring to my bod mod collection. Finally, we made our date to head out to my favorite piercing spot in NYC. Venus by Maria Tash. With my hottie friend Rob working there we knew we were in good hands. Justine pierced her Tragus (the fun little bit of cartilage you have right by your ear hole) and I got my Rook pierced (A nice nook and cranny of cartilage in your ear). Here I found a cool ear piercing diagram:


Anywho, we bonded over needles and to my surprise... Justine asked for more. And what better timing. I see this fun MySpace bulletin from Venus that says BMEzine is coming into their shop on Wed. Feb 11th to take pics and videos for their site. All piercings are discounted! Yahoo! It was destiny. We HAD to get more holes in our little bodies. After all Justine needs to live up to her newest nickname (given to her by her mommy): Swiss Cheese... or Swissy as I like to say.

Since we had previous plans to have our monthly girls night out that same day (Justine and Teela are my college buds and we do monthly dinner nights - so girly I know)... we ditched the fancy shmancy dinner plans and voted to get piercings instead. Did I mention I love these gals.

Lucky for us Rob was working again, and even Meg was there! They're both super talented. :) By far my favorite piercers. Justine got a Rook piercing, Teela got her Conch (not as dirty as it sounds), and I got another nostril piercing right next to the one I already have.

Fun times! I love the ability to express your individuality and appreciation of the bod you have by testing the limits of fear and pain, and altering the way your body looks. Next steps to accessorizing my skin: a superior franeum piercing (smiely) and 3 - 4 new tattoos. Stay tuned!

Toxic Toppers - Work in progress...

Hey guys,

So I've been working on a custom order Jack & Sally (Nightmare Before Christmas) wedding cake topper. Let me know what you think... click to enlarge the images


The hill needs to be shaved smooth and painted over again. And the mirror (moon) behind the couple is optional. I also, received these fun beads with tombstones painted on that I might add to the ribbon. And of course the entire thing will be sprayed over with silver glitter. :)

The Temple of Sin

Your body is your temple. I wholly believe that people should respect their bodies and should love themselves. Your body is all you've got and you should not take that for granted. This past year I began to realize this more and more as I watched my own body deteriorate. I made the decision last year to better my self and my body in small steps. I had begun eating more whole and organic foods, less sugar and fatty foods, I started taking yoga classes and focusing on every little ache - each warning my body is giving me.

Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be enough. I need to really shape up and take better care of myself. This weekend I passed a kidney stone! Yuck! and time and time again people are telling me "boy you've gained a lot of weight". When I went on a bike ride with my hubby, I had to stop every few blocks to catch my breath. It's time I make BIG changes.

This year I've decided to:
- Cleanse my system - I decided on a liquid cleansing, where I will only have liquids (milk, water, broth, etc)for a few days, then slowly introduce my body to my new diet
- Change my diet - eat mostly whole and organic foods, avoid processed foods, eat less red meat, cut back A LOT on Sugar and Salt, avoid fried anything, and drink more water
- Cut back on drinking - liquor hasn't been very good to me... to my mind or body. I'm going to take it easy and have a drink or two at social events. Besides, it bloats.
- Get off my ass! - Besides yoga, I need to do a lot of cardio. I'm going to walk as much as I can. I also plan on dusting off my stepping machine. I might even join a gym.
- LOVE MYSELF! - I'll be taking a lot more time for ME. I will decline on social events after a rough day at work and curl up under the covers with a good book. :)


I will keep you all updated on my progress. I hope you decide to treat your body like your temple before it's too late. Love yourself and others will follow ;)
