You know when…

…you have a lot to do, but instead you don’t do anything. I know I need to pack stuff up, but instead I just go through things, shuffle them around, and then go and have a coffee. At the same time I know I’m going to be pissed a couple of days before taking off leaving everything to the last minute. I haven’t been totally worthless though. I made 2 runs to the consignment store with stuff and probably threw out 10 big trash bags of junk.

I also want to make sure I have time to enjoy the beach before heading to Mexico City. Went to Piñones twice last week. One of my favorite beaches here in PR. Masha and I went after our workout one morning and there where only 5 other people there.

The next morning I went back with Annie. Guess I was so relaxed I forgot to even take one picture. But I did get a great tan!

I was on Instagram a couple of weeks ago and found a photographer here in PR. Liked his style of pics and after a couple of DM’s we finally shot last week. He also recommended a great make up artist so I just showed up and got taken care of 🙂

A very fun shoot. I like working with people that have humor and like to get creative. Will show you some more pro pics when I get them.

The next day I got emails with my Uber fare there and back. Going there was $74 and coming back less than $10. The driver going there missed an exit and we ended pretty far out and off route. I freaked out a little when I looked at my phone in the car and noticed I was very far off from my destination. With some Spanglish I understood he was waiting to exit and turn around. Luckily I didn’t get chopped up in the jungle this time either! Wrote Uber and they credited me $30. Not good enough. Wrote them back and finally my fare there matched my fare coming back.

Don’t have the luxury to always have a pro make up artist and photographer around. Have to settle for the DIY style at home 🙂

Almost finished with 2 books. Watched more TV the past week. Binge watched the series ‘Euphoria’. Didn’t think I’d like it, but it was great! Can’t wait to see the main character Zendaya in Dune when it’s released.

Also saw a great movie – ‘Another Round’ with Mads Mikkelsen. It’s a comedy drama and I loved it.

Just finished a big cup of coffee while writing this. Now shower and shoot some custom orders. In the afternoon Masha is picking me up and we’re going to some new beach she found 🙂 And I will try to pack a little too even though it’s so boring ugh…

Live it up!

One of the…

…best things about Puerto Rico is all of the beaches. So hot during the day, so I prefer to go around 6pm when the sun is setting.

On Sunday, I felt I wanted to go swim and read by the lagoon again. I did start to swim and 2 minutes later the sky opened up and gave me a free shower. I tried to hide under a tree with a towel over me, but I was drenched in like 3 minutes hahahaaa… Ran and took cover in a tunnel with the rest from the beach. But hey, the rain stopped and perfect opportunity for bikini pics 🙂

Sometimes I fake going to the beach too. Like in this photoset. Fake it till you make it 😉

More content from this week… Have to work between my beach sets.

Got some touched up pics that I shot in Vegas. Damn! Wish I looked this flawless without touch ups hahhaaaa…

Long time no see Caramelo! He came over and went through my suitcase. Nothing in there impressed him.

Then his human mom came over and we tried to communicate in Spanglish. As I understood it, Caramelo caught this little bird and they were now nursing it. I saw it couple of days ago again and the birdie seems in good spirits 🙂

Finished ‘Defending Jacob’ by William Landay. Soooooo gooood! A legal thriller and very exiting. Also makes you think about what you’d do yourself if your kid was accused of murder AND you maybe not 100% sure he’s innocent. I can really recommend this book!

And if you want an other great book – try mine 🙂 I have a couple of copies at home that I’m selling before I move. You can have it signed and with a personal message if you want. Just write a comment if you want one 🙂

Forgot to publish this yesterday so I’ll add one more thing I found out last night. I went for a walk and up on the street I chatted with the cat-lady. I think I told you about her before. She has like 20 cats and she’s my source of information when it comes to happenings here. Last night she told me that a black SUV stopped outside the entrance of my building. Two men got out and picked up a parked vespa and put it in the back of the SUV and drove away. Luckily there’s cameras on this street and the perpetrators are now shown all over Twitter so I guess they’ll be caught 🙂

Drinking a big cup of coffee and then getting this day going 🙂 Have a great week you all!

Back in Puerto Rico…

….and it’s sweaty to say the least! It’s enough to go get groceries, 10 min away, and I get back and go straight to the shower! I don’t have hot water, (not enough pressure to reach the top floor),but now it doesn’t matter, it’s perfect to cool down fast!

I got 3 weeks here before I go back to Mexico. Gonna stay there long term is my plan. Going to let go of this apartment and I’m already overwhelmed with all the stuff I need to get rid off. My plan is to pack 2 suitcases. Might have to ship a box or 2 too 🙂 This will be the 3rd time I ‘pack up’ my home and kind of start over. In a way it feels like a cleanse to get rid of stuff. But inside me lives a little hoarder too, that wants to keep everything!

Haven’t unpacked my suitcase yet, so boring and tiresome to unpack! I usually just keep grabbing stuff out of the suitcase after a trip and after a couple of weeks is almost empty hahhaaaa…

Today my friend Jose and his friend David picked me up for brunch – yummy! Both the brunch and the boys hahhaaaa!

Yesterday was spent shooting some custom videos… Only ‘safe’ pick I had time to snap 🙂

A couple of pics when shooting in Utah…

And this is me saying adios to Utah. I liked the airport! Can’t miss a cool spot without taking a picture, or more like 20 so I have a few to choose from. It’s not always great to hang with me, cause I see a lot of photo ops everywhere and they need to be captured!

Also finished my first book on my Kindle – ‘Brave New World’ by Aldous Huxley. I loved it. It was published in 1932 and I don’t think what he wrote back then is so off from today.

From Amazion – “Aldous Huxley’s profoundly important classic of world literature, Brave New World is a searching vision of an unequal, technologically-advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order–all at the cost of our freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also our souls.”

I do believe we are headed to even more technologically-advanced future and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone said there are places where humans are genetically bred. That’s just me 🙂

Also when leaving Vegas Sophie gave me this book – ‘Overcome’ by Amber Van De Bunt. She might be more known under her performer name Karmen Karma. It’s a memoir of abuse, addiction, sex work, and recovery. Wow, what crazy stories and I’m impressed she gotten through it all! All the best to her! I read it in 4 days and can recommend it.

Time to take an other shower to cool off. Somehow my friend Masha convinced me to sign up to work out in the park at 06.30 am tomorrow morning. Seemed like a great idea at the time. Now, not so much! Probably only time you can work out outdoors here without a heatstroke though!

Viva Las Vegas!

Just back in Utah from Vegas. So much fun seeing and hanging with my friend Sophie Dee. She picked me up from the airport last week on Thursday. It was pretty much a packed schedule from that point. Since Sophie is a pro, she already had booked a make-up artist to come over and paint our faces before the evening activities.

Before & After. I wish someone could fix my face & hair every morning before I take on the day!

No one told me all the plans and I only packed a carry on. Luckily there was more than enough to choose from in Sophie’s closet. Picked this little number and off we went.

We had dinner at Wally’s Wine & Spirit’s at the new hotel Resort World. Then hit the club AYU. Even though we were outdoors it was so hot! I was very excited to be out and about again so I missed taking any pictures.

Best part of staying at Sophie’s house (besides Sophie) is her 6 cats and 2 dogs. Every morning 1 or 2 cats would jump into bed and cuddle until I let them escape hahahaaa…. Just look on that chokehold I have on the cat in the 2nd pic LOL…

I couldn’t memorize their names so I called all the cats Kit Kat and the doggs were Doggies.

2nd day it was time to shoot. Same great make up artist from Thursday came over and fixed us up. Then the photographer showed up and poses were thrown, backs arched, lips pouted, outfits changed, and awesome pics were taken!

Had time for a quick nap after and then it was time to head out again. Did a lounge at the Cosmopolitan to warm up and then hit Marquee. Even managed to venture into Sapphires for a little bit before heading home.

Spent the 3rd morning and day recovering by the pool. By 3pm it was time for food with this awesomely hot couple at Virgin Hotel. I had one drink and my clothes started slipping hahhaaaaa…

Barely had time to put on another of Sophie’s outfits before it was time to go again. This time to Area 15. Trippy place and just my type of spot! We ate at The Best and got to taste about everything on the menu. WOW! I overdid my eating, but that didn’t stop me from stuffing half the dessert tray in me too!

Perfect to hit the club after and dance. Loved the music!

Then it was Sunday and 4th of July. We spent it at the house with friends and later watched the fireworks at the clubhouse that had a band playing. Pretty exhausted after being out & about, so it was nice to have a chill Monday. Woke up with one of the cats in bed and his cat-butt in my face – thanks!

Also finished ‘Shutter Island’ by Dennis Lehane. I loved the book! Suspenseful and what’s really happening on the island? Then the twist in the end – yes! Just as good as ‘Mystic River’ that I read in Mexico so you want great books – grab these 🙂

Last day in Utah now. Already been out and gotten my lashes filled in. Tomorrow I’m flying back to Puerto Rico so need to arrive in style.

Hope your had a fun 4th of July celebration and that your week taken off great! Safe flying to me tomorrow and catch you from PR 🙂

Mexico!

Wow, wow, wow, very impressed with Mexico City. Been here just over a week and I’ve only explored about 5% of the areas, restaurants, cafes etc. Every day I mark a new location in my Google maps to see.

The food is amazing! Haven’t had a bad meal here, and I’ve ate things such as street tacos, high-end restaurants, hamburgers, steaks , Thai food, and sushi.

I have about 200 pics of food, but I’ll spare you of those. Just a couple of favorites 🙂

Oh, they suggest grasshoppers on the guacamole here. Not bad when they’re ground up like this…

After reading about grasshoppers and how healthy they are, I bought some from a guy on the street. Only thing was that these were the whole grasshopper in one piece! Didn’t stop me from having them on my eggs in the morning 🙂 Only dared to put on a few though hahahaaa…

I didn’t expect the city to have so many parks and nice walkways. Very enjoyable to walk around and there’s a lot of walking going on!

There’s a lot of dogs here! I love it! Puerto Rico is full of cats, but here everyone has a dog. And they’re welcome in almost everywhere. My favorite dog is Rocco at the CrossFit gym I joined. He just can’t get enough attention. He is very much like me LOL…

And coffee! Endless great coffee places. I have a few favorites and there still are great places I haven’t tried…

And in the between all the exploring I throw down some smut!

Just so many cool places you find when walking around. My favorite way to discover a new city is to walk the streets. Not many people here speak English. I make myself understood with Spanglish and thank heavens for Google translate hahahaaa! Will start my Spanish lessons when my friend from Colombia gets here next week.

Talking about friends, there’s a bunch of them here now and I didn’t even now they were coming. A couple from US/Russia and friends from Puerto Rico arrived the other day. 2 more join us from US/Colombia next week too! Part of the group went to Pujol to try their tasting menu yesterday. It’s supposed to be one of the best restaurants here. We were not that impressed though, even if it was very good. We had to grab food after because we were not full.

That’s it for now. Busy week ahead and more exploring to do, but will try to update again next weekend 🙂

All the best to you!

Here, there & everywhere…

Since I loved Royal Isabela so much, I booked a stay there again when checking out last time. They’re so booked, so you need to plan ahead if you want to stay here. So relaxing and didn’t do much else than relax, read and visit the beach. And snapped pictures…

As I wrote earlier, I have this goal for this year to explore new spots in Puerto Rico. Sometimes they are only a walking distance away. Like this cool art museum MADMI – Museo de Arte y Diseño de Miramar. A friend pointed it out while we were out walking. Can’t believe I never knew about it. It’s 1 minute away from the grocery store I visit every week. But hey, better late than never… They had a fashion exhibit now about a Puerto Rican designer Nono Maldonado.

Cool stuff, but I think our Pussitive clothing is a bit edgier, hahahaaa…. Look forward to go see other exhibits there.

Had enough of my dark roots and booked the first available appointment at the hair salon. Was a bit worried when it seemed that the guy doing my hair was a bit too hyper. He seemed to take notice of everything and everybody except my hair. When washing my hair he showered pretty much all of me and not just my scalp. But when he was done, I loved the results. Maybe he was one of the guys who actually can do more than one thing at once hahhaaaaa…

Our neighbors cat Caramelo, that I’m slightly obsessed with, has started coming over to our place to visit. I was doing a phone interview with Sweden last week when Caramelo walked in. I got som excited I had to tell the lady interviewing me to hold on. She wondered if I was OK? I told her the neighbors cat just walked in and that had priority over everything hahahaaa…

Talking about cats, how awesome are my cat panties?

When not wearing cat panties though…

Working on my dips and tan in the park.

Got some reading done too. This book “Killers of the Flower Moon” by David Grann, was very good, sad and disturbing read.

“Killers of the Flower Moon is a book about the Osage murders in Oklahoma. It tells stories of how these white settlers killed many members of the tribe for their oil wealth in the 1920s, and also details investigations into who was responsible.”

This book “When These Mountains Burn” by David Joy, was just mediocre in my opinion. The was some good parts, but it just wasn’t a page turner for me.

“Set in a small town in North Carolina, we meet Ray. He’s recently lost his wife and is dealing with his adult son who is a heroin addict. After being pushed to his limits, Ray devises a plan to rid his town of its head drug dealer.

This one “Blacktop Wasteland” by S. A. Cosby, was pretty good. A fast paste and exciting read.

“A husband, a father, a son, a business owner…And the best getaway driver east of the Mississippi.”

That’s it for now. On Monday I took a taxi at 03.15 am to the airport and flew to LA. Visiting Sandy and her family again. It’s a packed schedule as always. So much fun and tell you all about in my next post 🙂

Hugs, Puma

Exploring & Tasting PR

I’m continuing to explore Puerto Rico. On my wishlist has been staying at Royal Isabela hotel. I finally booked 2 nights there and all I can say… WOW! The hotel has 20 freestanding casitas and a private beach you can hike down to. My favorite thing to do was to wake up in the morning, sit in my private backyard, drink coffee, and watch the ocean.

On the second morning when tanning by the pool this lizard came strolling by. He drank out of the pool and then strutted along… Maybe my naked butt offended him hahahaaa…

The beach was a 10 minute hike down. It’s a 2 mile long beach and I never saw any other people there. This place is paradise on earth! There were enough Kodak photos ops of the ocean, waves, and palm trees for a lifetime. I tried creating Sports Illustrated photos while wrestling a giant palm leaf… Very fabulous if I may say so myself!

A couple of more pics. The restaurant at the hotel was pretty good too. Great views over the hotels’ golf course, and me throwing down some poses, nothing new there 🙂 Maybe just the new bikini which was probably more suitable to fit a Barbie than a human!

I liked it so much that when checking out, I asked for the next availability. They are very booked, but I got 2 nights in March!

After Isabela we drove down to Rincon. Booked a great Airbnb spot there. Rincon is a chill beach town and supposed to have great surfing if that’s what you’re in to. Found this little farm-to-table spot called Sana and the food was soooo good! I’d eat here every day if I could!

Checked out town at night. Tried a restaurant, but it just felt overrated and overpriced so not going to mention it.

In the morning this cat was peeking in to the airbnb apartment. Me running over instantly offering cuddles, but it mostly seemed to want food… Or maybe he just checked out the weirdo human posing in front of the mirror hahhaaaa….

A new taste experience last week was at a new restaurant that just opened up here in San Juan. Triple WOW on the experience! It’s called Orujo, Taller de Gastronomia. The chef comes out and welcomes you like you’re at home. There’s no menu and he doesn’t tell you how many dishes he’ll serve. Something between 14-20 he said. He told us the story about how he and his wife started serving food to friends first, and how they ended up here with this restaurant. All the dishes were incredible and I will definitely eat here again! My food photography is not the best so check out their IG @orujotaller to see all the cool stuff they make! There’s a pic of baby eels I thought was noodles, until the chef pointed out the ‘noodles’ had tiny eyes!

Read a great classic book and I can see why it’s a famous. “The Day of the Jackal” by Frederick Forsyth. Such an exciting read about how this man was planning to execute the president of France. The planning, details, police work, suspense… If you need a great and exciting book, this is it.

Talking about books. Not sure you know I wrote a book? “My Life as a Pornstar”. Great read if you ask me, hahahaaaa… You can get it on Amazon as a paperback or the Kindle version. I also now signed a deal for it to be released as an audiobook in Finnish too 🙂 Hello, Pulitzer prize anyone?

I have more pics and stuff to write about, but Masha the Russian just called and wants to go paddle-board and I need a tan so bye for now…

Hugs, Puma

3 weeks…

…into 2021. How’s it going? I’ve kept being very productive which I’m happy about. I also made a resolution to try new spots here in Puerto Rico. So far I’ve tried 2 new restaurants, 1 new bar, and finally went to the Puerto Rican Art Museum.

The Art Museum is really close and so cool. Can’t believe I haven’t made it there before. So worth a visit if you’re in town!

Pretty cool to see this Miss Universe thing at the Museum as well. I loved watching Miss Universe as a kid. I even had some thoughts that I might win the crown myself one day. Always dream big hahhaaaaa… According to the note here, Puerto Rico has had 4 Miss Universe titles. I just Googled it too and PR has actually won 5 titles! “The Miss Universe pageant began in 1952 and since then Puerto Rico has had 21 representatives classify in the finals, including 5 winners, 8 runners-up, 6 finalists and 2 semi-finalists. With 5 wins, Puerto Rico is the third country with the most wins behind USA (8 wins) and Venezuela (7 wins)”

A lot of shooting! Found an amazing photographer to shoot some Pussitive stuff. Waiting to get more pics, but here’s a couple.

Too bad there’s not always a pro photographer around. Sometimes you just have to do with yourself and a self timer! (And a couple of filters…)

And then there are the pics with less clothing and more “action”…

Still working out in the park. It’s going to be hard to go back to working out indoors. But when it gets hotter it will be nice when they blast that AC! Masha the Russian is a yoga pro and I try my best to even reach my big toe!

One of my favorite things here in Puerto Rico is all the animals you see out. On our street there is a cat lady. She has about 15 cats. They are always peeking down at you. The lady always explains to me which cat is mom to who, which ones are brothers etc… My favorite is this white one. Pretty sure it’s a mom… Or a sister… Or is this one a male?

And our next door neighbor has a cat too now. His name is Caramelo.

Took a new found friend on the walk around the fort the other day. There were so many iguanas! Never seen so many in one day. Obviously I tried to make them come to me and just as obviously they didn’t give a shit about me!

As much as I love animals, I wasn’t impressed finding this one in the bathroom one night! I never seen a spider this big here in Puerto Rico! Saw them in Bali, but didn’t know there are spiders like this one here.

My new found friend, Annie, took me to a bar I’ve never been to after our walk around the fort. It’s in Old San Juan and called The Canon Club. Really cool place and the drinks were great! There’s canons, parrots, a pool and they sometimes have bands playing there. Actually went there last night too because it’s just that great of a place 🙂

Me before The Canon Club and all the drinks… I could still stand and sit straight LMAO 😉

This is my shoe after last nigh…

Always reading and finished A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. This is an amazing book! One of the best/well written books I ever read. It just makes you feel so good! Read it!

What else? Oh, went to the tailor who helps me with the Pussitive clothing. Our communication is pretty limited because his English and my Spanish aren’t great. But we manage and I understood when he offered me a shot of these homemade Dominican specialties. I chose the one with bark inside and my throat burned the whole walk home. Need to get a bottle hahhaaaaa…

That’s about it. Taking and making a mini vacation next week. Trying out a nice hotel and (road) tripping a bit 🙂

All the best, Puma

Happy New Year :)

How has 2021 started out for you? I hope you’re off to a flying start 🙂 I’m very happy to be back in PR after Sweden. Warm weather (perfect temperature right now), sun and it doesn’t get pitch black at 3pm! The first thing I did when I got back was going to the beach and swimming in the ocean!

My New Years Eve was very chill with a touch of jetlag. Took a walk around the lagoon first. I guess wind was blowing 2020 out of the way…

Spotted this amazing iguana eating something…. It’s on my bucket-list to befriend one of these and feed it!

Had to take a nap in the middle of the day so I wouldn’t feel like a granny and pass out before midnight hahhaaaa… My friend Sandy posted this one on IG and it’s too accurate!

Cooked lobster and gambas for dinner. It was soooo good and I think I’ll splurge on a lobster more often from now on 🙂

So all in all, life is muy bueno in Puerto Rico 🙂 But Christmas in Sweden was great too! Except for the grey and rainy weather and it getting dark at 3pm. One of my favorite spots when in Sweden, is a cafe called Lisas Grabb. Everything is baked fresh in the morning and the saffron ‘semlas’ are the best! Linda and I literally stuffed our faces!

Loved spending time with my sister!

We didn’t just drink and look alike. We also worked hard on Pussitive (IG @pussitive_). We did a photoshoot with this great Swedish guy, Peter Englund. He is very creative and makes clothes himself, so it was like playing around in a grown-ups playhouse. A couple samples of our stuff…

And I played around in some of the gowns Peter has created too.. wow! Just need to get invited to a premier now!

On the 25th we finally got snow in Stockholm! We had decided to take a walk and burn off a couple of calories after devouring all the Xmas foods. Love when it snows like this! Even though I could barely see hahahaaa…

When in Sweden I usually give my wrinkles a fight too. Get in my face Botox!

Put some curlers in one night in case I got invited out. But no one called so stayed home with curls…

Finished a couple of books too during the holidays. First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. 1st book was just OK, but got more exciting in the end. Book 2 & 3, very good. If anyone else read these, did you notice that there were a lot of people being chopped in half from their head down to their waist? Pretty gory at times, but I tend to like that 🙂 Can recommend these…

Bought Kepler’s ‘Spegelmannen’ in Sweden. They usually appear in English too. Very exciting crime/thriller/suspense books and I read all of their books. It’s a couple who writes them together…

That’s it for now. This week I will be caching up on my shoots, working on Pussitive, get back to working out, ugh… I’m already in pain after one workout in the park on Monday hahhaaaa.

Laters, Puma Swede

Ho ho ho…

How’s your Christmas going? Did Santa bring you anything? Or did you surprise someone with an awesome gift? I had a mellow Christmas Eve with my sister, nephew and a couple of other people. Since couple of years ago, we’ve decided on no gifts. Just to enjoy each others company and to stuff ourselves with good food 🙂

Last minute shopping for snacks…

Here is a short recap from my 1 week stop in LA before I continued to Sweden. I always stay there with one of my best friends – Sandy. I love her kids and family and always say they are my extra family. One of my constant companions when I was at their house was Snoopy. Nothing better than waking up to a dog breath on your face hahhaaaa… Fluffy is the little white dog respecting private space.

Threw in some work too. Perfect when you’re bestie is a superb make up artist and makes you look 10 times the better version of yourself 🙂

Even though we had a busy schedule, we managed to squeeze in a couple of hikes, walks and a couple of squats and push ups. I’ve realized that with kids you need to plan your time. Can’t just take off when you feel like it. They need to be fed and stuff… I think I’ll just rent my friends kids per hour if I ever feel I need some kids in my life hahhaaaa…

Mirror, mirror on the wall…

While I was in LA they enforced stricter restrictions and pretty much everything closed down. I really wanted to fix my hair and had booked an appointment. Salons closed down though, but luckily Joan could come to the house and fix me up.

Last day, when I’m ready to head to the airport, we finally snap a selfie together with Sandy. We laughed cause we been together pretty much 24/7 and not taken even one pic of us together. Thankfully there is Snapchat filters. I was pretty worn out after a week of playing with Barbies and doing more in a day than I do in 3 days in Puerto Rico lol.

Got a ride from Sandy and the kids to the airport. It’s always sad to hug and say good bye. Always wish we had a week or 2 more together. Hopefully not too long before I go visit my LA family again though 🙂

Got a meeting now and then a dinner with friends tonite. Hope you are in a festive mood and here’s a holiday kiss coming your way 🙂
