however, while i am writing and deleting and writing and deleting and rewriting, i thought i'd share some happy news for you (happier if you actually live in california or can get here)

on AUGUST 22, 23, and 24 i'll be dancing at the Blue Zebra Cabaret here in LA! one show thursday- and this is their Sexy 80's Party (see below) and two on both friday and saturday- PLUS on saturday i'll be donating 100% of my last show, tips, and promo to TEAM WICKED- and that means that after you're done watching my movies at home, you can come to the Blue Zebra and get the real thing naked on your lap AND if you come on saturday night, it's for an ESPECIALLY great cause.

i'll see you there. ; )

AIDS WALK LA

guess what??

it's that time again...

TEAM WICKED is getting ready to do AIDS WALK LA for the second year in a row! As you may remember, we had an AMAZING success last year raising all kinds of money to support this very important cause...but this year, we want to do even better. Coming soon will be a press release with all of the important details, but I wanted to give you guys the chance to take advantage of an early-donation incentive. With a donation of $20 or more, you will get an autographed 8x10 of yours truly shipped anywhere in the world, PLUS a mention on twitter, if you so desire. 

Here's the link to MY personal page.

There will be other incentives to come, one of the biggest being the chance to walk with us, and if you're REALLY cool, even come to brunch (which will also be my birthday party) with the crew!

Whether you make your donation to me, another member of the team, or TEAM WICKED in general, it's tax deductible, it's for a great cause, and we'll love you for it. If you can't donate (and we understand that times are tough) you can still help us! you can email, tweet, facebook, myspace (who does that anymore?!?) or use word of mouth and let your friends know about us. we'll love you for that too. ; )

thanks to everyone who donated so far. we are grateful.

CNN

while I was away, the folks over at CNN released a great piece on me that we did awhile back, during the shooting of my movie "Tuff Love" for Wicked Pictures. I was a little hesitant at first when they approached me because as we all have seen, mainstream media often only wants the "train wreck" part of our business. I decided to let them into my private life to give the world a realistic look at my day to day life, both on set and at home... and i have to say, i'm glad i did.

my sincere thanks to Abbey, Chris, and everyone at CNN.

hi!

wow, must be a record...only a month has passed since my last blog. ; )

Thailand was awesome. I kicked off my trip with four days in Bangkok, and despite what people told me, i really enjoyed it. i think it's all a matter of where you stay and what you do, and though i did see plenty of lady boys and a ping pong show* i'll never forget, i also did a bunch of other stuff. a bike ride through the jungle, breakfast with monks, a tiger conservation, riding on and swimming with elephants, and some temple roaming. LOTS of temple roaming. here's a few pics, the elephant pics will have to come later.

temple of dawn (wat arun)

the temples were amazing. i have HUNDREDS of pictures of them, buddhas, stupas, ruins, enough for a coffee table book. i saw the biggest reclining buddha in the world at Wat Pho, and climbed the Temple of Dawn, pictured at the left. it's really high and REALLY steep. good thing i like that.

releasing a sky lantern. this would not be ok in LA.

These sky lanterns took my breath away. they were lit and let go over a lake after dark, and they went so far and you could see them for so long with their flames burning bright. i've sailed little floating flower basket lanterns down the ganges river in india, and this reminded me of that, as they got farther and farther away in the sky.








One weekend i also got to go to the capitol of Laos, called Vientianne. this picture was taken at a stupa called Pha That Luang, and it's the national monument of Laos. it's huge, but this is the only picture i have that i'm actually IN.




 

now THAT was the relaxing touristy part of my trip. the other two and a half weeks were spent sweaty, dirty, achy, and exhausted, just the way i like it. i won't bore you with too many of those pictures of me looking not so hot, but here are two of my favorites:

i LOVE to shovel dirt/rocks/sand/etc...but the bottom half of this hole was CLAY. (that's how i keep my arms and shoulders pumped when i can't do pop physique classes.) trust me when i say that's a f'n deep hole...but i had help.

instead of ME getting laid, these bricks are getting laid. bricks, bricks, and MORE BRICKS.

The trip was awesome in every way. i can't wait till the next one. i already know where it will be, and i'm already thinking of the one AFTER that. worst case of wanderlust EVER.

I got home a little over a week ago and i was planning on a little me time so i could lay low and recover from my jet lag and properly bathe before i'm out in public (honestly, you should see my nails...and my roots.) HOWEVER, courtesy of the slimy, sick, germy guy sitting next to me on the flight from Taiwan to LAX, instead, i came down with pneumonia. i went to my doctor worried that i might have gotten dengue or malaria and after she heard me cough she ordered a chest x-ray. and as much as i hated it, i took a course of antibiotics and pretty much slept for a few days straight. as you might guess, very few things piss me off like being told i can't do anything. i'm really bad at taking it easy, but in the battle of me vs. pneumonia, i surrendered. i feel much better now.**

All this next week i'll be getting back to normal(ish) with the return of IN BED, my live show on PLAYBOY RADIO & very soon you'll be able to download past episodes. i'm live at 12 noon on Tuesdays, have a listen. i'm sure i'll be talking about the trip some more. in other exciting news, i have seen the very first rough cut of UNDERWORLD, and you're going to love it. Sexpionage is the newest movie i have out, and it's been on WICKED.COM for almost a week. i have a local dance booking coming at the end of august, i'll post that info shortly, and in the meantime, now that i can get back to work, i'll getting ready to direct two more of my instructionals plus hopefully a feature that i've been wanting to do for awhile now...i'm SO motivated. : D

i missed you guys!

*the ping pong show will most likely be a huge part of my radio show on tuesday, and could even evolve into it's very own blog entry. let's just say it's really too bad there was no hidden camera.

** yes, i do feel better, and i figure i owe ya'll some gratuitous t & a pics, just gimme a few days to look a little uhhhhh...more clean/relaxed/together.

adventure!

if this were new year's, my resolution would be to blog more. oh well. i'll catch you up anyway, then go back to cramming three weeks worth of things into a backpack.


so where were we? right...i've been working. shooting movies (Sexpionage and Underworld) giving workshops, speaking at universities, dancing, doing appearances, live XXX chats, writing and directing more movies in my Guide to Wicked Sex line, doing my radio show on playboy radio, and more. some of you have shown up to see me and told me that you've talked to me on twitter or my radio show & i have to tell you, i LOVE putting faces to screen names. for that i thank you!

also, we just got TEAM WICKED involved in AIDS WALK LA once again, and we're bringing the big guns. the teams is already bigger with higher goals, and we're just getting started. visit our page and support the team HERE. i know that Kaylani is rewarding donors with signed 8 x 10s, and the ULTIMATE hero reward can be yours if you donate $500 or more (plus find your way to LA) you'll get the chance to walk with the entire team PLUS if you're really cool we'll also let you attend the after walk brunch/bday party. more details to follow.

so yeah...it's adventure time again! this means that i take off for parts unknown, roam the world, do some good stuff, and you get some cool pics down the line. feel free to peruse my archives here for blogs about other adventures past. you can also keep up with me via my twitter, which is most likely what got you here, but just in case, it's www.twitter.com/thejessicadrake

i'll leave you with a picture from one of my favorite scenes in Underworld. who am i kidding?? they're ALL my favorite scenes. but i'll tell you about that later. hopefully before 4 months pass again. ; )
