As the Summer Sizzle continues to indulge those who desire to wanderlust until their heart's content; many this season find themselves taking time today to celebrate the first harvest known lovingly to those of us pagans around the world as Lughnasadh. 

I have to admit if you'd told me just a month ago that we'd be in August already, I would've been speechless. This year has flown by with such a rampant pace and it feels like I've explored so much of myself within as well as my place in the New World. 

We find ourselves plagued with worry, depression, fear of survival and so much more in this modern day and age yet lately it's felt like being invited behind a dreamy curtain of shimmering secrets that is adorned in the day and life of a Old World bohemian that's time traveled to the modern era of humankind. 

From purging and detoxing, cleansing, grounding and decompressing to simultaneously turning my world upside down by choice for the hopes of better tomorrow's that wait wonderfully just around the corner this Autumn, it's easy to feel as if the velocity of life is moving far faster than even a psychic can truly see. 

It's beautiful to see in just two years how far my will, strength, loving kindness and compassion has transformed my spiritual garden into after it was set on fire just two Autumn's ago. It's as if every poisonous plant has burnt to ash and in it's place a fertile creative space that has helped me to thrive and expand my empire into worldwide status now. As they say it's not what you know, it's who you know? But darlings, why oh why can't it be both? I've always preferred it that way all along. *smiles* 

From the doors that continue to close lovingly and with integrity in this city that's been home now off and on for most of my life to the wide open doors with smiles and warm embraces that are waiting to be walked through fully this Autumn. I must admit this has been one of thee most thrilling first harvests I've ever had. 

No man, woman, past or present will stand in my way ever again. Buy the ticket, take the ride, walk into the velvet tent of the 3 ring circus and one woman show or kindly just keep on passing me by. 

​Toujours Sanglante, 
Bella BloodLust 

Curiosity didn't kill the cat; well at least not this time...

In Autumn of the year two thousand sixteen, I gave birth to; 
A Scarlet Collection of Monsters and Madmen.

 A book that's taken me nearly a decade to complete with the brilliant help and collaboration of real life monsters and madmen. The very same monsters and madmen who I fell head over heels in love with, and who captured me and released me long before their dark personal urges buried me in the garden to grow among the wild roses.

A midst their darkness and passion I was introduced to my own dark existence, which is an introduction that I never fathomed nor expected along the road to hell. For those who have desired to descend into the insanity and to know the deepest parts of my gothic soul, and where I hid the blood soaked corpses along the road of vice and transmutation this collection of horrorotic tales awaits your prying and most curiously debauched eyes.

As the eighth great bastard grandniece of Mary Shelley; and Lord Byron. I am more than in awe of reading the linked article to see that she published her book Frankenstein exactly 200 years before I finished this very novel of erotic tales of horror. It's as if her blood still flows through these eccentric veins breathing new life into me, fueling a frenzy to follow the course that I have always envisioned since I was in my youth. 

A Tribute to the Monsters and Madmen:
For those who helped me create this book, if you are reading this, thank you for sharing your madness. I cannot wait to share what we have created together over a decade of carnage and carnality. 

Coming to The World Stage October 31st, 2018:
A Scarlet Collection of Monsters and Madmen 
by Bella BloodLust ​​

​In previous years you've seen Bella BloodLust at conventions and in the buff for fine art rubenesque model lovers to indulge in near and far. In addition to adding a new set to my modeling portfolio I do admit I have a lot of sensual surprises coming to the world stage this year. 

From Burlesque Debuts this Spring to traveling the country to attend to those who prefer the dark arts of whips and chains at NYC's infamous Pandora's Box, I have to admit I might not be modeling in historical iconography until sometime next year unless the god's grant me some serious cash flow but I will have plenty of sensual things to keep you enthralled until further notice. 

But that isn't to say that I don't have many sets in mind just waiting to be captured by a lethal crew and talented photographers that I'm grateful to be working with and alongside since September of last year. As my sights are set on publishing my book of horrorotica this Halloween I do hope you stick around for the 3 ring circus and one woman show. I assure you my pets, I'm just getting started. 

​​Long Live The Rubenesque Revolution!

For those who have yet to find themselves formally introduced to Madame De Pompadour, Milonia Caesconia Empress Consort of Rome, Strawberry Coquette & The Iconic Mama Cass Elliot, perhaps your naughty and curious fingers will wander over each image to find yourself in a world unlike any other? 

For those who have missed the intoxicating allure of old world mistress Bella BloodLust, I'm elated to share my new series with you entitled "A Gothic Study in Scarlet" or "La Maison BloodLust". It was a sheer pleasure to collaborate and work with such an incredible visionary, friend and one hell of a boss. I'm not only proud to work for him but honored to work with and for him. If you'd like to book him for photography or cinematic film production, click here. 

If you just can't leave without a memento of your time spent with moi, I'm more than elated to share this wonderfully sumptuous collection that will continue to expand with more decadent goddesses for you to worship, that will be arriving over the coming weeks of this glorious new year. Enjoy celebrating the dawn of 2018 with something decadent from La Maison BloodLust and The Scarlet Gardens:

​​Noble Aspirations Inspired by Little Reinette 
Charity & Art Hop Auction In The Works...

As soon as possible it's been a dream and desire of mine, to have an art show which will also initiate a worldwide Rubenesque Revolution Charity & Worldwide Network to promote true health and Body Beautiful living.

In a world where anorexia, bulimia, depression, self-mutilation and more plague the beautiful psyche's of the divine feminine that walks in each of us on this beautiful earth, I desire to help, and inspire those to ascend such Western Ideological limitations to truly embrace Self-Love & Acceptance.

This will take place after I've added a few more shoots into my repertoire first and after a few more lusciously curved ladies join forces with me to debut their work and pursuits that coin the ambiance of The Rubenesque Revolution.

As all great and grand things take time to unfold stay tuned my darlings this show has truly just begun. If you're ready to be apart of this incredible opportunity, and are ready to join forces email me at: MistressBellaBloodLust@yahoo.com.
​If you're still working up the nerve and courage to be apart of such a revealing and progressive opportunity, stay tuned as I look forward to preparing The Rubenesque Revolution Workshop Series and opening doors for women worldwide to embrace the curvaceous goddess that they truly are. ​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Origins of The BloodSlayers: 
"After centuries wandering the Old World thirsting for blood and taming my inner demons, I've channeled my psychic forces and abilities to cross paths with those like me, who seek to transform the darkness they were left with into a productive career. When the descendant of Professor Van Helsing appeared in the form of Lydia St. Clair we stumbled into one another by predestined fate. She knew me as a brothel madame, former concubine and vampire dominatrix, in the frost covered hills of the Carpathian Mountains, seeking a bloodthirsty femme fatale to work alongside her against the allies of Vlad Dracul himself known only as "The B.L.O.O.D. 

In my spare time when I'm not assisting my lady in the good fight against darkness and evil, I travel the world by twilight in the guise of a horror-erotica writer, burlesque star, silk siren who whispers haunting ideas into my minions ears across the globe to entice men and women into falling victim in my seductive grasp. From inspiring the world with the Rubenesque Revolution to modeling in the realms of Fetish, Cosplay and Alternate History, there is only one velvet lined chair and three ring circus that could find itself embodied in the luscious curves of the one and only Bella BlooodLust."

It's been nearly ten years helping the worldwide spiritual community in person and through other sentient and technological forms. It has been my sincerest pleasure to serve and assist you and I do look forward to providing shaman wisdom and healing advice as well as endless spiritual services, classes, workshops and personal assistance to you for many more years to come.

Other Classes Debut & Workshops in Progress:
I've had numerous requests for Introduction to Psychic Protection, Introduction to Psychic Abilities, & Child Development for Sapphire, Indigo, Rainbow & Crystal Children for quite some time now, for those looking for Tai Chi with Animal Friends, visit the Featured Products section in The Old World Shoppe.

As more materials were required for thorough research purposes before I can complete the following workshops and classes until I can afford to do so these are currently on hold until further notice, but I'm positive that prosperity will change along with the winds and those materials needed will be easily required. 

The Rubenesque Revolution 
Workshop Series 
In addition to these wonderful classes I'm also in the process of developing a four class Self Esteem, Body & Sexuality Positive & Female Empowerment Workshop Series, that expands The Rubenesque Revolution to women locally and worldwide. The purpose is to gain invaluable insight, life changing exercises, assignments and group exercises to develop positive female relationships inside and outside the fourth generation wave of feminism. We must embrace the female goddess within and in turn embrace it in each and every single woman that is a walking goddess incarnate, whether she knows it or not. By engaging in a female gathering group workshop series that will expand your mind, body and soul to make room for self love, sacred femininity and sacred sexuality allows each and every one of us to bring about the next phase in human and female interpersonal ascension and global consciousness. By removing the stigmas, skewed viewpoints, and oppressive views of women worldwide we create the world we truly want to live in, the one that celebrates the beauty of woman in all her divine glory. This will be available as soon as additional materials are gathered for this incredibly special workshop series.

​​​From endless projects, a nomadic disposition in life and the constant change of addresses and having little to no transportation beyond Lyft and Public Transportation many might consider me a hermit but truly, I'm just busy. 

Life's swift pace is often much faster than the resources I have available to me in this ever fluctuating economy and being solely on an artists income has it's own set of challenges and financial limitations. It's not that I don't want to be out more, socializing, attending shows, events and seeing friends at festivals, it's just difficult to afford it. Unless I'm performing then I'd be glad to see you after the show! 

I assumed by now I'd have my degree and a decent income to rely on as well as a full time job in victimology while doubling my major and pursuing more psychic detective work, but sadly the current chaotic climate of higher education has prevented me and so many others from ever obtaining a degree. Without family, friends or even strangers donating money to ensure that the additional expenses of just going to school are provided I truly even as a former Dean's List Student can no longer afford to pursue higher education in my country or current state so as of now that additional income is also gone. 

From modeling jobs, burlesque siren gigs, teaching bondage and lifestyle classes, to being booked for photography and tarot parties life feels amazing and I intend on making each moment of it count. It's been one incredible journey thus far and I truly can't wait to see what else is out there waiting for me. 

Roadtrips, preferably by dear friends and loved ones who desire to abduct me are always on my radar, as well as many other countless and creative ways to have fun on the fly and cheap. So please reach out, know that I'm busy but always willing to make time for those who desire to share adventures of any kind with so long as it's in the old world bohemia that we all share and love. ​

It's remarkable what being in a healthy environment without interference from toxic individuals can do to any flower. From rebirth to cocoon to sudden and full bloom and transformation into my fullest and truest self. I can't begin to describe all that has taken place in such a small span of time. 

If you'd have told me two years ago that I'd be a traveling showgirl and professional lifestyle mistress along with so many other titillating ventures that I prefer to keep private, at least for now... I would've laughed in your face and smiled assuming you had mistaken me for the wrong person or another version of my self from the past. 

But as of this year the world recognizes my creative place in nearly every corner and realm and I haven't been able to slow down since, nor do I want too anymore now that my health and happiness are in full bloom. At this point after all that I have survived and thrived beyond why not embrace what is yet to come upon the horizons of tomorrow's ventures? As so many profound people, places and dreams are waiting just this Autumn alone let alone after this season has transformed into my favorite time of year in just one solar calendar month.  

I really do relish in all that a single woman without family can do if she just believes in herself and follows through. It truly shows that when you are authentic, genuine, true and consistent that you will thrive in nearly any metropolis great or small as reputation and your word in this day and age still are more valuable than gold. I am rich beyond my wildest dreams in friends, love, happiness and health.

There's definitely no stopping me now. 

​Businesses: ​​​​
Shadows Into Light Spiritual Services Temple & Archive continues to be the core of my spiritual and professional work in this lifetime and I couldn't be more humbled and proud simultaneously for nearly ten years of shaman work on this earth. Providing my roots as a Native American healer and ensuring that every client has access to my abilities in their purest state allows me to continue on the sacred path my great-great grandmother walked just a century ago and for that I am more than grateful for each and every single one of you. 

Beyond my spiritual clients and solving cold cases for clients and police departments, when I'm not busy in that field of work, you can find me at nearly any media center or private media headquarters that I freelance out of as a stock model, photographer, writer, prop-gatherer, stylist, set-designer, make-up artist, director, cinematographer and logistics specialist. If I'm not personally on a job with a client myself, I'm usually in an office working with a dear friend or loved one on a project that we're excited to share with our mutual-client. My weeks and hours change drastically and often but it does leave time to spend with those who are lone wolves on the same level as myself. We prefer to work behind the scenes, it's more fun back here. *laughs* 

To add even more pomp and circumstance to my world of erotica and adult exploits, I've since returned to the old world stage as a Pro-Domme and Lifestyle Mistress again and it's been quite the thrill since February rebuilding my empire in the underworld. Between education and sessions with clients between singing practice and burlesque and circus performance bookings I am truly elated to see what my life has transformed into because of a reputation that was established over thirteen years ago. 

As of now the biggest focus for my life is following up with publishers and formatting crews as this is crunch time for my book. It's hitting the world stage this Halloween. After that my dark lovers the sky truly is the limit. 

Wow! Six gloriously sexy years reading in the buff already? My my how time flies when you're boob deep into the latest book series you've had your sapiosexual eyes on.

I honestly never imagined after finding the International Read Naked Movement, just over five years ago that anything would've came from it thus far locally but with many book loving friends willing to join in just last year alone along with friends in the burlesque circles preparing to take it off and read live on stage with me for the sake of literacy, I have to admit I do hope we do the creator Michelle L'amour proud. 

In a world this fixated on self destruction and the approaching downfall of human civilization in the west, it's now more essential than ever to ensure that literacy and reading books in a day and age where most are in love with the ideology of ignorance to be quite the rebellious act towards intellectual liberation. 

So why not defy future regimen overthrows as the empires fall and rebuild for yet the billionth time in human civilization, as they say Drink the Wine and let the World be the World. At least for one day we can put down our signs of protest against oppressive authoritarian overthrow's in government by diplomatically and radically protesting in the one way that the world always seems to thrive. 

With our brilliant and knowledge filled minds. 

As you very well know we can't spell Literature without T&A! So let's get cracking shall we (No, not book spines please, that isn't very nice) and take a look back at previous year's reading selections before diving into the old world with this year's lucky pick for International Read Naked Day! 

 Year One: 
Russell Brand's "My Booky Wook" 

Year Two: 
Jon Stuart's "America" 

Year Three: 
A.N. Onomis' "The History & Arts of The Dominatrix" 

Year Four: 
A.N. Roquelaure's "Beauty's Kingdom" 

Year Five: 
Anne Rice's "Prince Lestat" 

Year Six: 
"A Storm of Swords" by George R.R. Martin
Book 3 in "A Song of Ice & Fire"

​​For more curious answers to your questions about why I chose my favorite author's latest book as this year's selection, keep reading and you'll find answers to so many carnal questions about reading naked in the featured sections below. As well as how you can be involved in next year's holiday celebrations while personally joining the movement. 

Who know's maybe next year, you and/or your lover as well as the rest of this grand gang of sexy readers will be eager enough to take it off together and take a group photo of us all indulging in the sinfully delicious, always thought provoking world of those who love to read;
​Absolutely Naked. 

Toujours Sanglante,
Bella BloodLust 
Celebrating 6 Years Reading Naked! 

​​Read in the raw.
For centuries, being able to read was a mark of privilege and progress.  Those who could read were held in high regard.  Being able to devour books and literature at your leisure was set aside for the upper classes.  Sometimes, even owning books was dangerous and could get you killed.

As time marched on, literacy became more and more prevalent until now we take the that very skill for granted.  As a culture, we no longer savor reading.  We no longer touch it with our whole bodies.  At best, we may read in passing, at as high a speed as we use our social media.  Any “literature” longer than 140 characters might as well be War and Peace assigned by a teacher that hates us.

What a shame!  Reading is a sensual, ritual experience – or at least it should be.  We should set aside time, set the stage, treat books like lovers…

That’s why we, the international literary salon Naked Girls Reading, have decide to make July 5th READ NAKED DAY  Join us in removing the obstacles that hinder your freedom to read as a ritual.  Doff your clothing on July 5th and get in touch with one of the most powerful forces in history – the reading of the written word.

We invite you to take part by simply reading naked.  That’s it.  If you’d like to be even more involved in bringing focus back to the ritual of reading BECOME A READ WARRIOR and help us get the word out.  Start a naked book club.  Get your local books stores involved.  Because if there’s one thing we at Naked Girls Reading know for sure:

​​Become a F-READ-OM FIGHTER and fight for the cause!  You could go down in history as  a naked Joan of Arc (but hopefully less crazy) fighting with fanaticism to make sure our culture doesn’t forget about the ritual of reading.

F-READ-OM FIGHTERS are eligible for a packet of fun materials including a Read Naked Day poster, bookmark, 8×10 of Michelle L’amour, a ticket to a Naked Girls Reading event and more.

Writing a READ NAKED DAY theme song?
Have an idea for a press stunt?  Could bring new meaning to the term flash mob.
Starting a READ NAKED book club? Watch out Oprah.
Whatever your idea, let us know and we could confer upon you the title of READ WARRIOR.

For more information CLICK HERE and Join The Movement of F-READ-om Fighters!

​​Taking the pledge is easy.  
Just follow these simple steps:

1.) Grab your favorite book a real, tangible book – no e-books!
2.) Take off your clothes
3.) Place your right hand on your favorite book and say the following:

“I understand that reading is a ritual that is important for the sensual and intellectual development of the human race. 

 I believe in the importance and tangibility of this ritual and will show my level of belief by setting aside time on July 5th to celebrate in my own way, but which will absolutely involve the removal of my clothing and the reading of a book.  
​
I pledge to uphold Read Naked Day as sacred and encourage those I know to do the same.”

​​​As you can imagine, when you take off your clothes you make friends.  The first International Read Naked Day (2013) was such a success that made plenty.  Naked readers from all over the world joined us to celebrate the ritual of reading.

We’d like to feature a few of our fellow F-READ-OM FIGHTERS here:

As they say in the North "If you like redheads, ask for Ros." - Theon Greyjoy

It's no secret that I'm quite infatuated with cosplaying the role of Ros of Winterfell so why not revive the most infamous redhead in Westeros for a lovely stroll through memory lane for those of you who have yet to read the books. I highly recommend doing so as we have quite the seasonal break before the grand finale of the television series returns next year. 

I received this lovely collection as a gift a few years ago when I was enthralled with the series and as of now I'm in the midst of the thickest battles scenes that one has witnessed on screen but has never truly felt until they walked through the eyes and lives of nearly every single beloved character in the literary series "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George. R. R. Martin. 

What was remarkable about the first book in the series A Game of Thrones, was the vivid accuracy that mirrors the television show to it's very nuance and subtle details. The second book A Clash of Kings was also a wonderfully illustrative read and further expanded backstory of where our favorite characters i.e. The Mother of Dragons which I never would've imagined being so much more than the series accurately depicted but here I am now in the midst and middle of A Storm of Swords and I must confess I haven't been able to read anything else since I started this series last Spring. 

From vivid imagery, each delicate scene orchestrated to make the reader feel as if they're a ghostly watcher on the wall of the next battle or epic power play move within the seven kingdom's I find it's nearly impossible to focus on much else other than the immersive nearly live action role play view that the author so generously illustrates word, for word, from character perspective to shifting head space within an entirely new person in just the next chapter. 

For me this series truly is epic and eternal and still weaves a wicked web of intrigue, perversity, death, deception, love, lust and endless desires to devour every last sumptuous meal that is painted like an elegant scenery and real life view into the world of this extensive series. From finding it to be the perfect escape when life's mundane expectations demand my presence in throne rooms in my very own kingdom, to truly feeling and experiencing the great losses that each character faces is a profoundly transformative aspect that I never expected. Not only has this series helped me to heal immensely from personal pain and previous hellish experiences in life but you truly know the author is brilliant at depicting worthwhile characters when you find yourself tearing up when one or a few dozen of them die. 

As I find myself right in the middle of the approaching doom that has yet to visit in the book series thus far, I find myself on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what wild and expanded experience will happen next in this endless journey towards who will reign as the Queen or King of Westeros and rule the Seven Kingdoms on the Iron Throne. 

As for now, all I can say dear readers is that I do so hope you enjoyed my portrayal of Ros and that you find yourself immersed in this series as heavily as the rest of us bibliophiles of the old world do; not only in this series but in pretty much any book we can get our knowledge hungry hands on. 

Rest up, Read Naked and Prepare...
Winter is Coming

-​Naked Reading Enthusiast circa 2013-

​After posting my previous year's article about celebrating International Nude Reading Day, the endless accolades and sapiosexual stirs turned from whispers into a clamoring for our very own Fresno Salon Chapter! 

I'm more than elated to announce that Joie De Vivre co-originator and co-chairwoman of The Valley Burlesque Society 
was more than inspired and asked moi if I would be interested  to start our own Nude Reading Chapter right here in Fresno, before I could type my answer I was already Cheshire Cat smiling from ear to ear.

​After finding eternal inspiration from the John Waters Quote:
 "If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck em." 

​I decided to channel creative ideas into a profound and insightful discussion about the importance of reading and the demise of culture and society due to our current society shunning such a sensual ritual pleasure, and in turn not only received standing ovations, endless accolades and laughter while displaying my thoughts for the entire world to view along with my professor, I couldn't be more than elated to share this stimulating presentation that you're more than welcome to share to further inspire the bibliophile revolution. 

​And all this was written before a Trump Nation. *tsk tsk* You should've been reading.
I'm quite sure none of the above featured naked reading guests voted Republican.

Totem Animal Report with Psychic Bella 
$15.00
(Offer Expires August 1st, 2018)

In these trying times it is often that we seek to transform what confusion and mystery in our lives that rest with our weary and heavy hearts into something much more uplifting and profound. If you've been stressed, overwhelmed and feeling detached from your purpose and path in life allow Psychic Bella to reach the astral realms on your behalf and to find your Totem Animal for 2018 along with invaluable wisdom from the animal kingdom that will help you on your way with a full heart and true sense of direction and purpose. 

What should I expect?

Depending on if you would like me to find your animal guides for you in the astral realms or if you would like to participate in finding them yourself it depends, each ritual is different, though for those looking to have a highly spiritual experience to connect with their spirit animals I highly recommend the vision quest ritual this is typically done outside in nature, with chanting drumming, smudging and other elements to induce trance state meditation to find the answers that you are looking for with your own personal psychic guide right by your side. For those looking for insight but are unable to engage in a vision quest at the present time I suggest a report, I can psychically find your guides and give you great detail that will help you out in your present life circumstance, depending on what type of totem you have you may have a report that is somewhat permanent and others depending on how their life changes are often met with new guides and totems throughout life, so it's always nice to receive a reading if you've never had one or are experiencing odd situations with animals in this world or the dreamworld.

This report is provided easily through email after I've returned from the Astral Planes in physical form, and will last the duration of 2018 and into February of next year in accordance with the current astrological waves we're presently experiencing and many of us are enduring this year in the sign of Capricorn. For those who feel lost and are looking for solid ground this report will provide you strength and resources for the next leg of your spiritual journey along the cosmic road of life. 

I have to admit even a few months ago if you told me that I'd be sending my manuscript into the publishers for our final digital to print deadline all while discussing cover reveals with the formatting crew I never would've imagined that this dream finally at long last could be tangible within the confines and supple palms of my writer hands. 

But here we are in the midst of meeting future book tour deadline discussions, traveling this Autumn to cities far and wide to promote my ventures both of the written word as well as passions of creative and carnal pleasure and here I am a Queen reigning divinely in rule of her own empire and relishing in every single moment of bliss that has ventured into my life in one remarkable and uplifting way after another. 

I never imagined that I'd be contacted for my beauty and intellect by those wealthy and powerful men in this world both well aged and youthful in vitality; to adorn their lives with wisdom and passion from dawn until dusk. But it's those of us who brave the world and shine the brightest who are able to draw delicate beings of divine inner transformation and abundant youthful splendor to our doorsteps without ever once batting an eye. *smiles* Well I do confess I might have bat a few lashes though instead. *smiles glowing* 

Where this remarkable turn of adventures and events in the near future will take me I have absolutely no idea. But to be seen fully for who I am by these remarkable men in this world in the realms of media, film and fashion is by far more than the gold flecks painted onto the porcelain canvas of my currently sensual disposition. As the season of the Maenad swoons into the serene energies of Aphrodite. I find myself falling more and more in love again with this blissful Summer Season, and hope that what ever lovely connections you make in this world whether they be friendly, intimate or divinely infused with passion and pleasure of the most erotic kind. I do hope that you find your heart, soul and mind fulfilled in the most purest and ecstatic states. 

As for this libertine and unabashed woman of the scarlet order. I do admit that I've already been kept quite busy in my boudoir and secret palace. Waiting and witnessing layers of old worlds, past lives and former lovers united finding their way back into my heart, home and very very soon in the middle of carnal summer's heatwave. My dungeon and bed.

Drink the Wine and Let the World be the World. 
Toujours Sanglante, 
Mistress Bella BloodLust 
The Scarlet Gardens 

​​​​In the Autumn of the year two thousand and sixteen after twelve arduous years of blood, sweat and corpses; I gave birth to:

A Scarlet Collection of Monsters and Madmen

 A book that's taken me nearly a decade to complete with the brilliant help and collaboration of real life monsters and madmen. Monsters and madmen who I fell head over heels in love with, who captured me and who released me long before their dark urges buried me in the garden to grow among the wild flowers. 

As the eighth great bastard grandniece of Mary Shelley; and Lord Byron; I am more than in awe of reading the linked article to see that she published her book Frankenstein exactly 200 years before I finished this very novel of erotic tales of horror. It's as if her blood still flows through these eccentric veins breathing new life into me, fueling a frenzy to follow the course that I have always envisioned since I was in my youth. 

From formatting and finding artists submit dark creations into this project a midst preparing for publication to contacting creative genius friends for book trailers; and hopefully in the end to manifest book tours and horror conventions, I desire to bring this old world of horrors back into this new golden era la bohemia. For the love of Gothic romance and vicious homicidal erotica will always go well paired with a warm glass of sensual... blood. 

To those who I have loved and lost and to those dear friends near and far who have flown to my hearts aid in my deepest time of need and to my gypsy tribe family. Thank you for being here to support me along the way; or teaching me profound lessons in life before making your otherwise morbidly cruel exit out of my existence.

A Tribute to the Monsters and Madmen:
For those who helped me create this book, if you are reading this, thank you for sharing your madness. I cannot wait to share what we have created together over a decade of carnage and carnality. 

As it's taking me quite longer than expected to transform words into formatted books for kindle, hardback and audio book publication I do appreciate your eternal and undying support to writers and authors everywhere as this is truly the back breaking and spine tingling moments that we live for in this world, to have the honor and privilege of sharing our dark creations with you curious reader. 

Coming to The World Stage October 31st, 2018:
A Scarlet Collection of Monsters and Madmen 
by Bella BloodLust ​​

 Bella BloodLust's Author Page 

​In previous years you've seen Bella BloodLust at conventions and in the buff for fine art rubenesque model lovers to indulge in near and far. In addition to adding a new set to my modeling portfolio I do admit I have a lot of sensual surprises coming to the world stage this year. 

From Burlesque Debuts this Spring to traveling the country to attend to those who prefer the dark arts of whips and chains at NYC's infamous Pandora's Box, I have to admit I might not be modeling in historical iconography until sometime next year unless the god's grant me some serious cash flow but I will have plenty of sensual things to keep you enthralled until further notice. 

But that isn't to say that I don't have many sets in mind just waiting to be captured by a lethal crew and talented photographers that I'm grateful to be working with and alongside since September of last year. As my sights are set on publishing my book of horrorotica this Halloween I do hope you stick around for the 3 ring circus and one woman show. I assure you my pets, I'm just getting started. 

​​Long Live The Rubenesque Revolution!

​For those who have yet to find themselves formally introduced to Madame De Pompadour, Milonia Caesconia Empress Consort of Rome, Strawberry Coquette & The Iconic Mama Cass Elliot, perhaps your naughty and curious fingers will wander over each image to find yourself in a world unlike any other? 

For those who have missed the intoxicating allure of old world mistress Bella BloodLust, I'm elated to share my new series with you entitled "A Gothic Study in Scarlet" or "La Maison BloodLust". It was a sheer pleasure to collaborate and work with such an incredible visionary, friend and one hell of a boss. I'm not only proud to work for him but honored to work with and for him. If you'd like to book him for photography or cinematic film production, click here. 

If you just can't leave without a memento of your time spent with moi, I'm more than elated to share this wonderfully sumptuous collection that will continue to expand with more decadent goddesses for you to worship, that will be arriving over the coming weeks of this glorious new year. Enjoy celebrating the dawn of 2017 with something decadent from La Maison BloodLust and The Scarlet Gardens:

​Noble Aspirations Inspired by Little Reinette 
Charity & Art Hop Auction In The Works...

As soon as possible it's been a dream and desire of mine, to have an art show which will also initiate a worldwide Rubenesque Revolution Charity & Worldwide Network to promote true health and Body Beautiful living.

In a world where anorexia, bulimia, depression, self-mutilation and more plague the beautiful psyche's of the divine feminine that walks in each of us on this beautiful earth, I desire to help, and inspire those to ascend such Western Ideological limitations to truly embrace Self-Love & Acceptance.

This will take place after I've added a few more shoots into my repertoire first and after a few more lusciously curved ladies join forces with me to debut their work and pursuits that coin the ambiance of The Rubenesque Revolution.

As all great and grand things take time to unfold stay tuned my darlings this show has truly just begun. If you're ready to be apart of this incredible opportunity, and are ready to join forces email me at: MistressBellaBloodLust@yahoo.com.
​If you're still working up the nerve and courage to be apart of such a revealing and progressive opportunity, stay tuned as I look forward to preparing The Rubenesque Revolution Workshop Series and opening doors for women worldwide to embrace the curvaceous goddess that they truly are. ​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Origins of The BloodSlayers: 
"After centuries wandering the Old World thirsting for blood and taming my inner demons, I've channeled my psychic forces and abilities to cross paths with those like me, who seek to transform the darkness they were left with into a productive career. When the descendant of Professor Van Helsing appeared in the form of Lydia St. Clair we stumbled into one another by predestined fate. She knew me as a brothel madame, former concubine and vampire dominatrix, in the frost covered hills of the Carpathian Mountains, seeking a bloodthirsty femme fatale to work alongside her against the allies of Vlad Dracul himself known only as "The B.L.O.O.D. 

In my spare time when I'm not assisting my lady in the good fight against darkness and evil, I travel the world by twilight in the guise of a horror-erotica writer, burlesque star, silk siren who whispers haunting ideas into my minions ears across the globe to entice men and women into falling victim in my seductive grasp. From inspiring the world with the Rubenesque Revolution to modeling in the realms of Fetish, Cosplay and Alternate History, there is only one velvet lined chair and three ring circus that could find itself embodied in the luscious curves of the one and only Bella BlooodLust."

It's been a pleasure to have my temple doors open worldwide twenty four hours a day, seven days a week for the previous few years, In 2012 I returned to school and had to reduce hours due to deadlines, projects in the works and life's demands in general, this hasn't changed since and I'll continue to provide the above hours for new and returning clients worldwide all season long, while also pursuing many of my personal projects and life's work. This also provides an opportunity for clients to be decisive with their self care and spiritual holistic health, as much as I do enjoy having the temple buzzing with new energies, I also prefer to not have cancelled appointments and precious time wasted when life is too short and I have so many dedicated clients that are more than ready to transform their life for the better, one page in their life book at at time. 

Thank you truly for the love and support and I do sincerely look forward to assisting you on this profound journey that is life. It's my spiritual honor to safely and compassionately provide compasses, maps and a guiding star towards your wildest dreams and practical future. 

Other Classes Debut & Workshops in Progress:
I've had numerous requests for Introduction to Psychic Protection, Introduction to Psychic Abilities, & Child Development for Sapphire, Indigo, Rainbow & Crystal Children for quite some time now, for those looking for Tai Chi with Animal Friends, visit the Featured Products section in The Old World Shoppe.

As more materials were required for thorough research purposes before I can complete the following workshops and classes until I can afford to do so these are currently on hold until further notice, but I'm positive that prosperity will change along with the winds and those materials needed will be easily required. 

The Rubenesque Revolution 
Workshop Series 
In addition to these wonderful classes I'm also in the process of developing a four class Self Esteem, Body & Sexuality Positive & Female Empowerment Workshop Series, that expands The Rubenesque Revolution to women locally and worldwide. The purpose is to gain invaluable insight, life changing exercises, assignments and group exercises to develop positive female relationships inside and outside the fourth generation wave of feminism. We must embrace the female goddess within and in turn embrace it in each and every single woman that is a walking goddess incarnate, whether she knows it or not. By engaging in a female gathering group workshop series that will expand your mind, body and soul to make room for self love, sacred femininity and sacred sexuality allows each and every one of us to bring about the next phase in human and female interpersonal ascension and global consciousness. By removing the stigmas, skewed viewpoints, and oppressive views of women worldwide we create the world we truly want to live in, the one that celebrates the beauty of woman in all her divine glory. This will be available as soon as additional materials are gathered for this incredibly special workshop series.

​​From endless projects, a nomadic disposition in life and the constant change of addresses and having little to no transportation beyond Lyft and Public Transportation many might consider me a hermit but truly, I'm just busy. 

Life's swift pace is often much faster than the resources I have available to me in this ever fluctuating economy and being solely on an artists income has it's own set of challenges and financial limitations. It's not that I don't want to be out more, socializing, attending shows, events and seeing friends at festivals, it's just difficult to afford it. 

I assumed by now I'd have my degree and a decent income to rely on as well as a full time job in victimology while doubling my major and pursuing more psychic detective work, but sadly the current chaotic climate of higher education has prevented me and so many others from ever obtaining a degree. Without family, friends or even strangers donating money to ensure that the additional expenses of just going to school are provided I truly even as a former Dean's List Student can no longer afford to pursue higher education in my country so as of now that additional income is also gone. 

From bio-film documentaries, expanding workshops and classes to regional retreats and finishing the publication process of a collection of short horror stories and socializing with friends in Tower District, I find myself quite busy pursuing and capturing my wildest dreams and to share them with so many wonderful friends and lovers too well I honestly admit life couldn't possibly get better than this, but I'm more than willing to embrace it if it want's to throw in some surprises. Like starring in commercials and being hired by local media firms to expand our horizons?! Who knew life could continue to be so damn inspiring? From photoshoots, teaching bondage and lifestyle classes, to being booked for photography and tarot parties life feels amazing and I intend on making each moment of it count.

Roadtrips, preferably by dear friends and loved ones who desire to abduct me are always on my radar, as well as many other countless and creative ways to have fun on the fly and cheap. So please reach out, know that I'm busy but always willing to make time for those who desire to share adventures of any kind with so long as it's in the old world bohemia that we all share and love. ​

​​​​​​​​When Life Has Other Plans: 
​​​​​​​​Lets start with Goals & Dreams, Since 2008, I've been known as Psychic Bella, founding Shadows into Light Spiritual Services has truly been the real life experience needed to continue honing my psychic abilities, helping those in the valley and all over the world seek a higher quality of living and truly transforming from the inside out has given me a taste of my future. 
In 2013 I even went back to school, college even and was a regular in the criminology and anthropology departments well known for being one of the very few multi-generational shamans in classes was always a treat providing additional perspective to textbooks and professors.
Unfortunately that road ended in 2016 without the dual degree promised by the institution of higher education and now I look forward to seeing what opportunities open up to illuminate my direction on my path as this one no longer can be continued without massive amounts of income generated in a ridiculously short span of time. At least I can take what I've learned thus far and apply it to the world and continued work that I fulfill for spiritual clients worldwide as Psychic-Shaman Bella.
Where the road or the winds take me as of now nobody truly knows, but I do know that I embrace what this new future holds with open arms, a open heart and courage and strength in resolve that I never could imagine truly owning fully as myself this my thirtieth year of life on this planet. This in no way changes my abilities to be a shaman and psychic detective, it just allows the universe to show me a more alternative route to continuing my work solving cold cases regardless of how much more arduous the paperwork process still is without credentials being able to put my clients at rest and to provide their families with any semblance of closure is truly what this specific path in my life is all about. As they say "Where there's a will, there's a way." ​

Letting Go Of Pipe Dreams to Manifest Captured Reality: 
When one door opens another closes, and if the doors of perception were ultimately cleansed everything would appear to man as it is; infinite. This year has been remarkably enlightening, having the door shut on love last autumn to open the doors again to the possibilities of self love and being a hopeful romantic is honestly something I never thought would or could happen for me but the universe and perhaps me before I even arrived here in this life had other plans. 

As for now my focus is growing where I'm planted and appreciating each and every flower and star seed that's come into my life this profound year in endlessly mystical ways. From the friends I met in strange places while I was homeless that have now become my wolf pack and soul tribe with endless love and support to the profound men I've met this year that have really sparked my cynical and jaded heart into believing that love really does exist on this planet the way we'd always hoped it would arrive. If anything now just taking time to heal, focus on growth and rebirth and being there during others most transformational times has been the deepest honor bestowed on this pagan shaman soul. This however doesn't prevent me from letting ideas like tiny houses and native american land granted communes from being in my future, as well as traveling worldwide as a professional house sitter, but as for now, this year at least. I think focusing on my garden entirely and enjoying all that's blossoming here and just over the fence nearby with an incredible man that has captured much more than my interest to be the core of manifesting goals and dreams into ultimate reality.

​Businesses: ​​​​
Currently as Psychic Bella I'm truly busy 7 days a week, I currently accept appointments on Weekends only, for in-person spiritual bookings and online ones for international clients. I intend on keeping my Phone/Email inquiries open from Mondays through Fridays to ensure that weekend bookings are solidified and that clients are able to make decisive actions towards the betterment of their lives, as they say Carpe Diem, this is the theme of 2016; and following up with all that has been created and destroyed is by far the theme for 2017. 

​The rest of the time my energy is shared between writing multiple books, maintaining my empire, planning soirees with and for the Gaslamp Society and assisting my love in our mutual dreams and business pursuits. This is why advanced planning is needed for social outings and even Shadows Into Light Spiritual Services Bookings, as the months and seasons change so does my traveling gypsy soul, and I'm truly needed out there in the big world so please join us and enjoy the ever changing and prosperous scenery. Besides these pursuits I have my enjoyable times as Writer, Model, Artist, Siren, & Performance Artist, these times are few and far in between but as time goes by and opportunity knocks I'm grateful when good health is along with me to pursue these dreams. I'll be most focused this Autumn in building my repertoire for Burlesque, it's long overdue and my soul longs to be in the spotlight once more. 

As many find ways to earn additional incomes in this difficult economy, I've recently looked into professional house, pet and car sitting opening up opportunities for both a more stable life financially speaking, while also having the chance to travel the world without having to save funds for a hotel or other additional costs that come with it. So on top of all of the endless projects and jobs I already have this too is now a huge focus in life, if you want to build a savings, one must push forward in all directions. 

​New Business - The Grand Opening Of: 
Strawberry Coquette's Wild Bohemian Patisserie 
As I approached my 3 year Vegan Anniversary I found myself elated to expand my personal baking business into a legitimate side-business; for over two years now I've been perfecting and concocting the most profoundly delicious vegan desserts and have even now expanded to Gluten Free, Raw, Paleo-Vegan Friendly Desserts! After receiving serve-safe certification in food courses to ensure that I know how to conduct a healthy and food safe kitchen I found that having all of these incredible, healthy and dietary restriction friendly recipes to be too good not to share! After many compliments and encouraging words from friends, family and even complete strangers that are 1000% against desserts without dairy, eggs or animal products tell me that my baked goods are the best thing they've ever tried, I've decided to turn my top recipes list into a menu for an at-home place to order bakery prepared and shared by your's truly; Strawberry Vixen. As much as I intended to have this venture up and off the ground before Winter, unfortunately a few business related investments are needed to ensure that my decadent vegan treats are served fresh to you at the highest quality possible. So hopefully by Summers arrival a cute little pastry cart pushed by Strawberry Coquette herself will be wandering around Tower District to tease and tantalize those who crave a taste of Paris. New Spring Menu Items have just been added, why not stop by my cafe and indulge in a bit of France. ​

Health:
As of April 7th a day after my 29th Birthday, I received a full report and cancer remission status for Cushing's Syndrome. A brain tumor that tried to kill me but lost it's battle to the wonderful world of holistic medicine known as medical marijuana. If it wasn't for stumbling upon my twin flame and trusting that his dedication to medicine was true I honestly wouldn't be here writing this right now, I was given a 6 month prognosis for living and was preparing my funeral at the tender age of 23. I'm astounded to say not only has my tumor gone completely into remission, but my immune system is better than it was before cancer and so is the rest of my health that was just finalized and cleared by every single one of my follow-up cancer specialists. So basically I'm like a bombshell version of deadpool, watch out world it's going to get crazy fun from here. 
I'm back!

​From transforming journals and sketch pads into the foundations of my novel, while editing and constructing another that's soon to be released for erotic horror readers to enjoy, to finishing the final touches on BellaBloodLust HQ to ensuring a place to work, create, brainstorm and vision board can take place to turn dreams into legacy and living breathing reality.

​I celebrate The Rubenesque Revolution, and relish in the progress, projects and creative pursuits that have taken place successfully thus far while further fires burn in the hearth of my sensual and spiritual home to brew and simmer over the golden months of late spring, carnal scarlet summer and dark and sumptuous autumn. In the midst of creative stirrings as the dawning of a new age and new year arrive here in this world and my very own home I frolic and feast to the fullest embracing life in all its horror and divinity.

There's so much more to get your fill in the menagerie of places I've created for one and all to enjoy. I look forward to your inquiries, your contributions and suggestions and for those who are already well entertained, buckle up for a very wild ride; adorned in wild roses and thorns what else my darling?

For this world and those we create are filled with both pleasure and pain in equal measure and as for me I relish in this silver spoon and feast on the oysters that have been left out freshly harvested for this adventurous feline. 

​Thank you eternally for your support and for those that desire to tear it apart, I look forward to watching the Old World burn down with you inside as The New Golden Age of Humanity is finally here. 

Long Live The Scarlet Queen 

Toujours Sanglante,
Bella BloodLust ​​​​​​​​​​
