MEET SHARON TK-

This week, I did a quick Q&A with my friend, Model Sharon TK. She has been published in print and online as a Fashion/Fetish/Tattoo model. I will never forget the first time I met her. I walked on to a shoot and there was this beautiful girl with piercing blue eyes, blazing red hair and cussed like Tug-Boat-Annie! I knew right then, she would be one of my favorite people!! She has an amazing spirit and a genuine heart. She is also one of my favorite models so be sure to check her out at http://twitter.com/SharonTK or http://www.myspace.com/sharontrustkill


Atomic Bombshell: So how would you describe Sharon TK?

Sharon TK: Hmmmm, how do I not sound like an asshole and answer this question??? Ok, well here goes.. I'm obnoxious but courteous. Outspoken but shy.Vile but girly. Professional with a truck driver mouth. The best friend you'll ever have but total bitch if you wrong me. Jaded and sweet as pie. Passionate without a passion, loner & lonely, daydreamer but realist..

Atomic Bombshell: What is it that you love the most about modeling? I've said it before, but for me it's therapeutic in ways I can't explain.

Sharon TK: I love modeling because I can get to play the part of something I'm not but most obviously, I like having pretty pictures of myself hehe!

Atomic Bombshell: ME TOO! Ahahaha!

Atomic Bombshell: Tell me something that not too many people know about you? Can you like, apply lipstick with your cleavage?? I actually used to be able to do that! I lost my talent.. And my cleavage!

Sharon TK: Ummmm I really have golden blond hair?
Ok, that's boring, I have no real talents like the lipstick trick since my boobs are no where near big enough for that. Ummm, I’ve been vegan for 15yrs, is that interesting? I'm also a dietitian specializing in vegetarian nutrition.

Atomic Bombshell: What is 2010 going to be like for you, (in a perfect world)?

Sharon TK: As far as modeling goes, I plan to get into as many magazines as possible and promote the hell out of myself. I also want to add to the collection of my rescued dogs, become a rock star with Jen aka Atomic Bombshell, and cure cancer of course! xoxoxoxoxox

Atomic Bombshell: I’m so down with that! Thanks, Shar! xoxoxoxo

A while back, I posted on one of my sites that I was having writers block and needed content to keep my blog going. I received quite a few emails and I decided to take my time and answer some of them on the AB Chronicles. I really appreciate those of you who took the time to email me. I’m only going to post a few today so please keep them coming!

1. What happened to the Richard Brian Penn show? I loved listening to you guys! You have a great radio voice! Will you be back up and running soon?

*Thank you! We all took a break from the RBP show simply because we all had other projects that we were pursuing. I love doing radio. I hope to be more involved in radio/podcast in the future. As far as when will be doing RBP again, I don’t have an answer for you. You can email RBP directly on http://www.richardbrianpenn.com/.

2. How did you get into modeling? My daughter is interested and I was curious how you started?

*I started modeling when I was 22. I was living in Los Angeles at the time. I was walking across PCH to Santa Monica Beach, when a guy approached me and gave me his card. After checking him out and getting over my fear, I did a shoot with him. At the time, I really didn’t feel that it was for me. I never pursued it. Then, years later, my friend Abbe, who is an amazing photographer, talked me into shooting again. At that point in my life, it appealed to the artistic side of me and just kept going with it. I will say this; if you are looking into this for your child, make sure you go through a reputable agency and make sure that there is always a chaperone. ALSO, modeling can be damaging to the psyche and your self-confidence. People will talk openly about your flaws so you have to be strong enough to handle rejection and believe in yourself. Personally, this is why I was never serious about modeling. If this is something she is really interested in, these are things you have to consider.

3. Would you ever date anyone off the internet? It seems like there are so many ways to meet people online and it’s not just dating sites anymore. I haven’t had much luck with the old fashioned way. I feel like the internet has become the social-norm for meeting people.

* I think it’s about personal choice. I don’t feel that I would ever date someone from a social networking site. For me, a lot has to happen in order for me to consider dating someone. I need the entire package. The vibe, the visual, the body language exchange and see the personality, first hand. Texts, emails, internet profiles are so impersonal. A lot gets lost in translation. I often misunderstand texts from people I care about and things get taken out of context so I couldn’t IMAGINE attempting internet dating. I would also like to add that most online profiles are full of shit! People talk themselves up to project an image of themselves that is more likeable. No one ever puts things like “I manipulate women to get what I want, I suck at making calls and I will have sex with you but please note, I will still be looking for something better.” No one is that honest. On a more positive note, I do know that it has worked out well for some people. I think you should always keep your guard up, never divulge too much information about yourself and NEVER meet someone alone!

Thanks again to everyone who emailed me. I hope I was helpful! Please keep them coming… (And appropriate!)

Dating Chit-Chat with Comedian Daniel Ponsky

Meet Comedian Daniel Ponsky-

This week I thought I would step out of the normal Q&A and talk about dating with a friend, Comedian/Actor/Writer, Daniel Ponsky. I thought that together, we could come up with some answers about the mysteries of dating between men and women. Why Daniel? Personally, I find him to be witty, funny and a great candidate for giving the male perspective. I think we covered a few topics during our conversation. First things first,
Atomic Bombshell: So who is Daniel Ponsky?

Daniel Ponsky: Who is Daniel Ponsky?I'm 33 years old, and ever since I can remember I always wanted to be an entertainer. I have always loved movies and have had a knack for remembering about 50% of the dialogue in most of them.I love to cook and I think having spent 17 working years in restaurants, night clubs and bars I have earned a decent title. When I was 18, I managed my first restaurant and by the time I was 21 I had managed 5. Chinese, Mexican, Italian, and California Cuisines are a few of my favorites. I can really fuck up some good shit with a Wok and some fine cabernet...Toot Toot! I left college a semester before graduating so I could become a stand up comedian. lI wasn't good at school anyway. They teach too slow in school. I prefer the internet. It tells you anything you want to know.Where do I love going on first dates? Shopping! Ameba Records, Target, Cosco, Wal-Mart, The Mall...Hot damn, you can learn a lot about a person by the way they spend their money. It's also a great ice breaker when you can pick out ugly merchandise and talk shit about it. It tells you a lot about a personality when they can talk smack, and one thing I love is a good smack talker. I also think taking in a free softball game at your local park is a fine way to be cheaply entertained. It's not that I don't like to set the bar high when it comes to dating, but like all nice things in life, they need to be earned, so they can be appreciated and not expected. In other words, I'll drop my dime, when the time, is just fine, like good wine!I love clothes. Shopping is my forte. I don't wear the clothes, the clothes wear me...Nuff Said. I can coordinate some shit!

Atomic Bombshell: Do you now see why I love this guy?

Atomic Bombshell: SO have you thought about what the three things that mess up the preliminary dating stage?

Daniel Ponsky: Sure have. Men are predictable and women tend to forget this. We do one thing that reminds you of fantasy land and you get all caught up that we are your personal Fabio. We're not. This isn't a question of being right and wrong. This is about being practical.

Daniel Ponsky: Let me ask you a dating question?

AB: Okay..

DP: A guy takes you out for a fancy dinner and night on the town. Do you expect that level of dating from that date on?

AB: Is it a first date?

DP: Yes.. Or can he take you to the zoo on the second date and just buy you a hot dog? Would you feel cheated?

AB: Honestly, I'm a low key, kinda gal. I think that first dates are there to make a good impression. I wouldn't EXPECT that all the time. I'm all for drinking and roller skating! I don't feel cheated at all. I like low-key. It's more real.

DP: But if I don't try and show her a little bit of what I am about then if things go well, I'm going to spend the rest of my relationship in hiding. Dates should be a reflection of personality.

AB: I don't think you should ever try to portray an image about yourself that is not true.

DP: Not a measurement of financial standards. You may get it, but most women need that dollar in their face to feel secure.

AB: Money is great. It does provide a level of security but when it comes down to chemistry, it really has to be all there.

DP: For the rest of the dating world, how would you say that you know a guy is worth dating, and not just a way to kill time until someone better comes along.

AB: Wow! It's really hard. I find myself asking "Is this real?" when things are going great and I really like someone. I try to see past the initial "just started dating" feelings and see what they have to offer in the long run. I look for signs of potential.

AB: What about the BS games men play? Or do you think it's just women?

DP: It goes both ways. Its action reaction. Eventually it doesn't matter who started playing the game, It becomes about who is going to win it. In the end, if you both cant win, then realistically your playing a bad game. I think men don't put enough out on the table in the beginning. They are afraid to open up their flaws and controversial thoughts. If they realized how important that stuff is early on, then they wouldn't waste so much of a relationships time finding it out later on.

AB: Yes, I wish men were more open and honest in the beginning. I think they tell half truths because they are thinking with something else. Not the head that makes sense..

DP: If she's hot...Fuck yeah. It's an expression of our interlocked emotion. I know that sounds like bullshit, but sex is a comfortable way for us to express our emotions. This isn't my own thoughts, this is what most men are saying to me. Remember, I'm also a bartender and I have heard it all. The problem is not clearly telling your partner why you are affectionate towards them. If it's sexual then say it's sexual. Don't beat around the bush saying it's for love. Love takes time and patience so it can be proven. Any man who says he has sex for love, is a fucking liar. He has it to help measure his passion for a woman.

AB: Does bad sex or clumsy sex turn guys off? Let's say you're nervous (maybe have a little too much to drink) or you're still getting comfortable with the other person and you're off your game.. Do guys really judge performance?

DP: Clumsy sex- I love it! No better way to show who you are then to screw the pooch. It shows your human and there is nothing better then having to do it again to prove your worth. Am I right? Bad sex is for rookies and should be checked in at the bunny slopes. I'm a professional, please!

AB: Well yeah.. Hypothetically, what if there have been a few intoxicated moments because I'm nervous and I know tonight is the big night. I think I have my bag of tricks ready then I do something retarded, like fall off his bed and into his closet.. What about something like that?

DP: Improv. Grab an accessory and make the most of the moment. If your cut, grab a box of bandages and play doctor nurse. It works. Never be embarrassed. Unless your hung like a pimple or hairy as a Sasquatch. Then you may be embarrassed. The question shouldn't be "Am I having sex too soon?" It should be "Am I having sex with someone I can say I will respect the next day?"

AB: Gosh, he is funny and yet, so wise!

The Curse of a Beautiful Woman

What does the world truly expect or see when they look at a physically attractive woman? You think that we rule the world? We have a certain power that most people do not possess? Maybe you think that life is so easy for us because of what we look like? That may actually be true for some women. I can sit here and tell you that is so far a few between. Do you really want to know what it’s like for some of us? It’s like walking in the room and catching the eye of every man and being approached with lines like “I would really love to stalk you.” Or “I’m married but I would take care of someone like you.” My favorite is when you are networking and trying to have a conversation with someone but you are getting this blank stare back at you because they do not believe for two seconds that you are an intelligent human being with wonderful ideas. Being beautiful AND smart makes you less desirable to men, as well. Men are superficial animals. They initially judge you by what they see. Beautiful women who are intelligent, can usually see through the bull shit that men do. It would certainly seem that whenever I first meet a man, he is thinking about what I am like in bed or that I’m only down for a good time. The minute I open my mouth and start to speak, their disposition changes. Suddenly, this isn’t going to be as easy as they assumed it would be. Sure, if I was just beautiful with no brain or self respect, I would probably get all the men. What you see is never what you are going to get. It makes me so angry that I am immediately judged on what I look like. Most of the time, it never gets passed that. I am grateful that I am attractive. I always work on enhancing myself and taking care of myself. I do it FOR myself. I’m here to tell you that there is so much more to me than beauty. Even if I stay single forever, I just want people to look at me and really see me.

Today..

So today I'm shooting with Erica Capabianca, who I love! There are maybe a handful of photographers who I will work with at the drop of a dime and Erica is definitely one of them! She and her boyfriend are very artsy and have the best energy. It's always a lot of fun and the end result is always something amazing. I'm really looking forward to it!

Today, I have been still trying to shake the "oogies" from the weekend, working at the bar. You really get an education on people working in the nightlife business. Sometimes, it's really hard to clear yourself of all the stuff you deal with and not bring it home. This weekend, my heart broke for a guy who just came home from Iraq to find his fiance cheating with his childhood-best friend. He had been away for 2 years and he said she was the only thing that kept me going. At one point, his eyes filled with tears and I didn't know what to do or say to him. I'm sure that just living in Iraq for 2 years was emotionally distressing, then to find out two people that are closest to you, just betrayed you. Betrayal is the worst feeling in the world, not too mention being robbed of your faith, your heart and years of your life that you give to someone. Sometimes, I feel like the entire world has gone Jerry Springer. It's really sad!

On a lighter note, I will be cleaning house, working on fashion content and preparing for my girls dinner on Thursday night. I can't wait to start doing guest blogs for the AB Chronicles along with some serious writing. (Ha! whatever that is!)

Stay tuned!

I'll have some Karma Cake with my coffee, please!

So the last few days, I have been putting together content for the blog. I have been doing some soul searching in the process. Having been going through some personal ups and downs, it really had me questioning who I was, who I am and who I aspire to be. It's never really easy when you have to sit down and look at yourself, in that painful, honest light. At the end of the day, you have to live with yourself, the choices you've made and keep moving forward. I've always believed that one should listen to their heart. Sometimes the messages can get very confusing. No matter what, you're heart does have something important to tell you and there is a lesson to be learned. Even if it's not quite the lesson we had hoped for. I'm a lucky girl with many people close to me, who put up with me and support me. I only hope to return the love and light that I have been given, to those who need and deserve it.

The Bombshell Chronicles.. Part I
The introduction
Who am I? Atomic Bombshell. I am a writer, model, event planner, event coordinator, bartender and talk show radio personality. I am starting to write blogs again and I felt that every thing should start with a beginning. A proper introduction, if you will. Let me tell you about the people I surround myself with. I have an eclectic group of friends that include; artists, rock stars, comedians, writers, photographers, fashionsta’s, fetish/models, freaks, and everything in between. I am completely fascinated with people. I feel like every one of my friends represents a little piece of me, even if it never comes all the way to the surface. I enjoy people who aren’t afraid of what others may think of them. It took many years of my life to live the way I wanted to and not the way I was expected to. It’s still an ongoing struggle, every day I feel like I’m getting closer to something. Modeling has been therapy for me in ways that most people could never truly understand. Having the ability to mold myself into someone else’s vision, becoming a photo that people can leap into or truly move someone for a single moment, helps me release and clear myself . Writing has been something that I have worked much harder at. There is nothing more powerful than the written word. I enjoy reading other peoples blogs, even when they are bitching about the “nothing” in their lives and going on and on about people I don’t know or could care less about. Some people just have a way with words, no matter what non-sense they bang on their key boards. Neil Gaiman, on the other hand, I would follow until the end of the earth. I think he is one of the most amazing story-tellers/writers of our time. I put him right up there with Shakespeare! Sure, you would have to be a deep person to really understand his stories, and yes, they seem kind of dark. Dark things happen in life all the time. That’s why I quit CNN but that’s an entirely different blog!!

So what do I hope to accomplish, here? I want to talk about my experiences, my thoughts, fashion, make-up, dating from a womens perspective, and everything that is part of being a Bombshell. Please stay tuned!!
