Surprise Me!
Added 2019-12-05 13:00:03 +0000 UTCHere is one of the outfits and photo shoots from Surprise Me, my $50 tier. If you haven't seen it yet, this tier was based around the idea of my patrons sending me an item of clothing to wear, and yes, it all ended up very much like this one ;-) in provocative lingerie. From the outfit I Vlogged my authentic response of what I received, then I dressed up in the outfit, shared the outtakes of my failed attempts to get these fishnets the right way round! And then created content inspired by the lingerie.....I made a scary short, a sexy music video, an ironic Vogue shoot (this one above) ......and had a lot of laughs wearing these outfits out in public!!!!
Remember, nudity in Malta is ILLEGAL. You get taken to court for it...so the stakes were high, to be found provocatively dressed on this very catholic island. As a creator, I do like to push the limits of convention....but I have to remember I live here, and LOVE living here....so the suspense was staying in the middle, somewhat elevated!!!!
You are welcome at any point to send me an outfit, and I will always be willing to make new content based on what you send. Plus, on this (currently archived) tier, you have control to direct the content...suggest locations, themes, what I include in the video, music etc.
Surprise Me for Christmas!

so awesome to have you here Mat, and thank you for your sharing. Yes, I'm in Malta right now, but I live in Gozo. My church is the sea and the beauty of nature. God is everything. I learn from all the spiritual teachers, and yes, Malta has a big catholic conditioning. I'm not sure why I ended up on this journey and conversation around nudity. I guess, what I am keen to tackle and explore as a creative and explorer, is the subject of shame and how damaging it can be to us as humans. So pleased to hear you love documentary filmmaking, I am really excited to explore this subject and to work with a filmmaker. I need to get my act together and apply for funding so that I am able to really commit to this project and to pay a filmmaker to follow me on this journey. It may be a bit way out for Malta, even though many Maltese agree that this needs some light to be shed here, I'll keep you posted!

2019-12-18 10:58:40 +0000 UTC@Suze I'll let you in on an open secret about Malta which many of my Maltese brethren are still too scared to admit to foreigners. Catholic on the outside.. not so much on the inside. đ The churches, bells, religious processions, summer festivities and draconian law against public nudity - which is literally written as "offending public morals" - they're all a husk for a small society that has been wrestling with being more honest about the inner natural impulses that are part and parcel of being human. Though we've come a long way on social issues related to sex and gender in a considerably short period of time. I certainly look forward to this documentary film you're planning and truth be told. I love documentary films as much as creative writing.
