This weekend my boyfriend Danny (aka Danny Bare on dvd production credits) and I decided to enjoy the amazing summer weather at my favorite place in the world…the beach!! When I commit to going to Venice Beach I make an entire day of it. When I’m alone I love to lay out and bake my skin, and then go into the water, but since Danny has no interest in that and wanted to ride bikes along the beach…we needed to compromise.
I woke up Saturday and got ready to go to golds gym Venice which has the title “The Mecca of Body Building.” I believe this is true. Lots of the men and women that lift in that gym are in competition form, so of course I’m not only in awe at these magnificent bodies, but I’m a little jaded that I’m not getting my body to that level which I so desire. After a grueling workout I take a shower and walk over to the beach boardwalk. The weather was so nice and everyone was out!
If you don’t know Venice Beach it’s quite the place to people and freak watch! There are tons of fortune tellers, vendors, musicians and my favorite thing…muscle boys working out on Muscle beach!!!! Danny saw an old friend that looked like Mr Olympia doing the rings on the beach and it was quite the spectacle! Everyone was cheering him on. I swear he looked like something out of the movie 300!
After checking the muscle boys out I got really thirsty so I searched for my favorite summer desert, Shaved Ice! Lime and Blue Raspberry are my favorite flavors!! It’s the perfect snack in the hot sun because its only sugar and water so it keeps you energized as well as hydrated. I can actually drink many many of them especially during gay prides!!
The last destination on my Venice outing was where I would really like to live one day, the Venice Canals!! If I lived in one of these amazing houses on the water with all the canals and boats and ducks about, I’m sure I’d never leave my house, therefore never working, then Id be sure to loose the luxurious house!!! After walking about the canals and bridges my poor feet got really tired and then I had to walk ALL the way back (the entire length of the boardwalk ) to the car. Lets just say we slept really good that night!!
Well…this weekend I’m off to Palm Springs to help Chi Chi with her upcoming Rascal Toy Movie. I’ll have lots of pics to share. There are some really hot new latin models in this movie, they kind of make me nutty!!! Lol

I was out at Venice Beach and the canals a couple of weekends ago myself. I always get a lot of great shots of the people on the boardwalk and the ducks and houses at the canals. There are some really charming little homes (and some big homes!) down along that area.
Look at you and your cute boyfriend! Aw.
