Cuzco and the Sacred Valley, Peru

After we spent a week exploring Lima, we boarded a plane to Cuzco. The first thing some people will notice upon disembarking in Cuzco is the change in elevation. At 11,000 ft above sea level, altitude sickness is common. Right off the plane, one of my companions was feeling dizzy. Luckily, Cuzquenians have a remedy on hand. Coca leaves(yes the leaves from which cocaine is derived) are chewed or brewed into tea. The stimulant and diuretic effects of the coca leaves help to offset the dizziness and headaches from the change in altitude. The natural leaf form of coca does not produce a high like cocaine would. Use of coca leaves is legal in Peru, and they sell the tea in most restaurants.

While the high altitude didn't leave me breathless or dizzy, it did have one very odd effect... on my BOOBS. After a day in Cuzco, I noticed strange gurgling sounds coming from my chest. It sounded like water splashing around, and sometimes like air bubbles moving about. In a panic, I googled 'breast implants at high altitudes' and the first thing that pops up is the story about a woman on a plane whose implants explode from the altitude, killing her. Yikes! This is, of course, an urban legend. Rest assured my breasts never exploded. What actually happens is, there is less pressure at high altitudes, the lower pressure allows gases in the body to expand, the expanded gases form bubbles. I don't believe the bubbles were inside the silicone shell of the implant as this membrane should be impermeable. My hypotheses is that the gas bubbles form around the silicone shell, in the space between the implant and the membrane that the body forms around the implant pocket. In low pressure, expanded liquids and gases are able to move about the pocket, creating the colorful noises I heard. This is my best guess anywho, its not as if we will find any peer reviewed studies on the subject at hand. In the end, ladies with breast implants can be assured that once you go back to a normal altitude, the odd sound effects go away and your boobs return to normal.

My Vacation Adventures in Lima, Peru

As you know, I recently took a trip to Peru, where I visited Lima, Cuzco, Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu.

For now I'll focus on the first part of the vacation in Lima. Our 3 bedroom, 2 story apartment in Miraflores was fabulous. Miraflores is one of the wealthier suburbs of Lima so walking around felt relatively safe, even at night.

The apartment:

The place was on the top floor of a high rise and featured this view of the city:

The first few days in Lima were spent exploring the city. We visited the local mall, Larcomar(of course), as well as fine dining restaurants, bars, nightclubs and museums.

Museo Larco, in San Isidro, was of particular interest to us girls because of its collection of pre-Columbian erotic art. Ancient erotic art, yes please!


As you can see from this archaeological evidence, the annoying habit of a man pushing a ladies head down during oral sex is nothing new!

No matter the decade, for some reason all men on earth seem to think everyone wants to look at their penis.

There were also some non-sexual exhibits..
Trepanation is cool! Seriously, the Incas were actually pretty good at skull surgery.

Overall, the most unforgettable segment of the Lima trip was the para-sailing! For anyone who has never tried it, I would highly recommend it. Para-sailing is exciting enough to appeal to adventurous types, but once you get up in the air it is actually a relaxing tour of the city. Or maybe I am crazy, I have no fear of heights so I found it as relaxing as a giant swing!

Para-sailing for beginners is done in tandem with an instructor. The only part that made me even slightly nervous was when we were taking off and the instructor told me to start running and go right over the cliff. 'I have to run myself over the cliff??' I thought? OMG! But I did it anyway! I started running, and before I made it to the edge, the sail took off and we started flying. See the edge of the cliff in the photo?

Flying over the ocean cliffs. If its not already obvious from the smile on my face, this is FUN!

As you can see, Miraflores is beautiful. Its full of modern high rises, boardwalks overlooking the sea, and lush green gardens. The one big detraction is that the city is bathed in fog for pretty much the entire winter(April through October). Notice the melancholy fog and cloud cover in every single picture? If I lived here I would miss the sun!

There are surfers out there, catching waves despite the wintery weather.

High rises as far as the eye can see. Lima is home to 8.5 million people.

Next I'll blog my adventures in Cuzco and Machu Picchu!

Peru Bound!

Ok, Its time for me to run off and head to the airport.

I stayed up all night and got most of the videos uploaded. Some will have to wait until I get back. There is just not enough time! :/




My clip studios have been all set up with new material for your fapping pleasure. While I won't have my laptop or be able to check email, I will be updating my twitter status from my mobile phone.



WEEEEEEE! So stoked for this trip!!!

Peru Trip!


Tonight I am packing for a trip to Peru! I'm so excited, I'll get to see Lima and Machu Picchu.



I'll be traveling with a group of friends including GCupBitch, so be sure to follow us both on twitter for photo updates of our adventures. This will be another tour of the Big Boob Bitches!




My plan for tonight, pack and pull yet another all nighter!! I've got a bunch of your custom order videos already filmed, so I'm going to stay up, edit, upload, and hopefully send before I leave. I will NOT be taking my laptop on this trip. My HP is just too big and laborious to lug around. I could really, really use a smaller, more lightweight computer to take with me so I can work on my frequent trips. This MacBook Air would be ideal! If anyone would like to be a hero it is on my wishlist! Since I won't have my laptop with me, I probably won't be able to respond to any emails while I'm gone.

I am setting up my clip sites to release new videos every couple days or so. Be sure to visit my studios frequently and get the latest downloads as they come out!!

I will be gone for 10 days, that means 10 days of no live cam shows with me boys, I hope you will survive;P
