Day 29- My Trans Girls

As many of you know, I travel the world teaching hot babes classes on vintage hair and makeup techniques. From time to time I get messages like this that elate me and break my heart at the same time. I have always been an outspoken supporter of the LGBTQ community. I don't give a shit that it is a...

Day 28- Give Me All Of The Food

In about a half hour, my group of girlfriends are coming over to watch Sisters and veg out. We are ordering pizzas, drinking wine, and my girl Lauren is bringing a bag full of cookies and brownies she has stolen from her work. Why do stolen treats always taste better?? I dunno, but they do. I think...

Day 27- Quelling the Overshare Beast

I know I put a lot of personal stuff on the internet. Maybe more than I should. I have friends that are ultra private and won't even put their kids faces on social media. And part of me admires that attitude. But I have always tended to be the opposite. I blame live journal. If I experience something...

Day 26- Aging Gracefully

So today I had a facial laser treatment done called Clear+Brilliant. This is my second treatment and I am pretty stoked. Basically it helps with fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, acne scars... and it just generally brightens up your complexion. My favorite thing it has done so far is lighten my freckles!!...

Day 25- The Things We Do When Our Men (and Women) Are Gone

As you guys know, Trevor and I travel a lot throughout the year. Which means that I am home alone a lot. Trevor was gone this weekend so it made me think of all of the things I do in secret when he is gone. I laugh at myself constantly. First-- I watch ALL of the bad TV. Like, the worst. Marathons of...

Day 24- Flaky Friends

I like a lot of flaky things. Biscuits, chocolate, snow... But I can't stand flaky friends. I was having dinner with my best friend and his lady tonight and we started talking about flaky friends and how annoying they are. There are many types of flaky friends, and you come across them all in LA. There...

Day 23- Girls Night

So I spent all day doing hair for pinup photoshoots and in about an hour all of my girls will be here for drag movie night (watching Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Too Wong Foo: Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar) . So no long philosophical blogs today. Sometimes it is more important to live life...

Day 22- Ode To My Bed

I love my bed. It isn't the fanciest. Or the most ergonomic. Or the latest model. But it is my safe haven and I love it. I have extra soft sheets. And an extra fluffy down comforter. I also have two perfectly firm pillows with head dents in just the right places . Because of all of this, getting out...

Day 21- Being Heavily Tattooed

If you guys follow me on my various social networks, you probably saw today that I posted a comment left by someone on my video about how my tattoos actually grossed her out. I really thought this comment was funny and kind of dumb and I laughed it off and posted it as a joke. But it got me thinking...

Day 20- I Suck.

Guys! Today has been hectic and I just remembered I haven't blogged! I'm at the jd McPherson show and remembered. As you can tell by my face, I am super remorseful. I love you all and will return to regular broadcasting tomorrow. X...

Day 19- I Don't Have to Love What You Love

Today I posted a video on youtube titled "Caveman Contouring." In the video, I tell my viewers that I am going wayyyy back and getting real vintage to show everyone how they contoured in the caveman days. I then proceed to cover my face in mud from my front yard using leaves, with a voiceover of me...

Day 18- MLK

Today is such an important day. Today we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I have a lot of thoughts about racism and segregation and privilege that I will talk about in future blogs, but today I want to share my experience in Memphis at the Lorraine Motel. It is no secret that Memphis...

Day 17- Shopping Anxiety

Shopping. It is a word that inspires excitement in the hearts of many women. But for me, it incites instant anxiety. Don't get me wrong, I love having new things. But thinking about facing crowds of people, neon lights, and rows and rows of things I may or may not like, or may or may not fit is not...

Day 16- Those We've Lost

Charlie. Charlie made everyone laugh. He always wore tie dyed shirts and hemp necklaces. Before I met him, I called him Buzz because he looked like Buzz from Home Alone. He had blonde hair in a bowl cut, he was super tall, and he had flat feet, so he kind of loafed around. Today is the 14th anniversary...

Day 15- My New Ring

Today I was awoken at 9am by the doorbell. My eyeballs flew open, I tossed the covers off of me, bolted to the door and flung it open to find a terrified Fedex driver holding the box that contained my new ring. That poor man. But I GOT A NEW RING! This was something I have been thinking about for a while. I loved the ring that Trevor proposed to me with and put on my finger when we said our vows,...

Day 14- Finding my Place

Oh hi guys. This is officially the start of my second week as a blogger. I did it! If you guys follow me on youtube, you probably saw the video I posted this week about feeling a little lost. Around the holidays I started getting sucked under by depression and anxiety about where my future is headed....

Day 13- The Gym

The gym. It is a scary place for a woman. You know what is even scarier? Classes at the gym! All of those mirrors. All of those eyes. All of those pelvic thrusts and leg lifts! Last year I decided that I was really going to make the gym my (eh hem) bitch. And I tried... I really did. But it was SO boring!...

Day 12- Breaking up with a Friend

Breakups. We have all gone through them. And they always suck-- no matter what side of them you are on. But how many of you have ever broken up with a friend? I actually blew my friends mind a few months ago suggesting this very idea. She was having a hard time with a friend that was just, frankly,...

Day 11- RIP Bowie

Today is a sad, sad day. A lot of celebrities have passed in the last few years, and a lot of them make me feel sad, but none have hit me like this one. If you grew up in the 80s-- David Bowie was an integral part of your childhood. Jareth the Goblin King was one of my first loves. As a child, watching...

Day 10- So Tired

Hey guys... my blog will be short and sweet today! We took a mini road trip down to San Diego last night to see Trevor's band play. It was super fun, but I stayed up late and am exhausted. I am actually not tired from partying-- I am mostly tired because we all stayed in Trevor's brothers' studio apartment...

Day 9- Lord Help My Self Control!

Food. I love it. I love all kinds of food. Sweet, salty, fatty, carby. I love it all. I even like healthy food. Just not as much as the other (tastier) stuff. I am a rampant snacker. I don't usually eat big meals... But oh man, I can snack ALL day. I snack out of hunger. I snack out of boredom. I snack...

Day 8- Give Me That Face Spackle!

Today was the first day that I put a full face of makeup on since New Years Eve. It is funny how different I feel when I am "Cherry Dollface". It is easy to say that natural is beautiful and empowering... But darn it I feel pretty when I am wearing makeup! I feel powerful when I get out of my car and...

Day 7- Why I Hate Girls... AKA My Girl Posse

Girlfriends. Growing up, I always had TONS of girlfriends. Me and my best 4 girlfriends in middle school even dubbed ourselves "The Buttmunches" and had club names (I was Cherokeebler). We had probably a million inside jokes and didn't make any important moves in life without consulting each other (i.e....

Day 6- Growing up in Oregon aka "Rain"

Today was a pitiful day for this former Oregonian. El Nino has been hitting Southern California hard this week, and today I had to stop at the grocery store in the middle of a monsoon. Oregonians are used to rain. It shouldn't have phased me. But I sat in my car for 20 minutes waiting for the rain to...

Day 5- Marriage

Marriage. What a weird concept. You spend your whole life with one person-- experience all of the joys and hardships together-- and are expected not to kill each other. Huh. Seriously though, I love my husband. I love him with every last fiber in my body. More than I ever thought I could love another...

Day 4- Growing up on a Houseboat

My childhood is something I rarely talk about. And although there are some skeletons that are better left in closets there is definitely a lot of it that I would be happy to share. Let's begin... My mom got pregnant with me when she was 16. (more on this story later) At the time we lived in Southern...

Day 3- Pressures to be "Perfect"

Today my nails are chipped. And that's ok. The world keeps turning. Today I want to talk about the pressure to be put together and perfect 24/7. I think this is a pressure that many women feel, but I especially started feeling it when my following started to grow. Being stopped on the street for pictures...

Day 2- Post Holiday Funk

Day 2 of my blog. I haven't linked this sucker anywhere yet, so I think the only person reading it is me. That's ok. Ha. Today I feel very tired. Holidays are always really emotional for me... Yesterday it all sort of came to a head and I spent a lot of it crying. My poor husband. Luckily he is...

Day 1

Well hello there world... I have been struggling lately to sort of find my place in you. I feel torn between being Cherokee and Cherry and figuring out who everyone wants me to be versus who I want me to be. So this year instead of making a resolution, I am issuing myself a challenge. My challenge is...
