The fall and rise of Troy Destroy

2010-01-28T19:55:00.000-08:00

It was gloomy dark in the depths of heartbreak and broken pride. Then a friend came by and dragged me to ancient Japanese ruins in Enoshima. There I was met by three Gods. The Redgod grabbed me and pushed me up to the world of the Dragongod. Who blessed me with his fire back up to Earth. Then I rose up to Sun King who took me in and up to the Sun and Surfgods. Liquid Slide Enjoy the Ride. Where I was able to create some new shirts.

New shirts for hard core surfers

2010-01-26T16:16:00.000-08:00

This design is for hard core surfers it can be on the front or back I like it on the front to see peoples reactions. Its a girl feeling good on a board on a wave what more can a surfer dude ask for. Its hand screened and the spray is hand painted. Hope you like it.

Business Plan LiquidSlide, Surfing

2010-01-25T16:17:00.000-08:00

This design is a much more feminin but strong and attempts to capure the beauty of beach life.

japanese girls and communication

2010-01-19T20:03:00.000-08:00

this will be a bit bitter as mine just broke up with me. I would not be wrong to say they have no heart. One day they seem an say they love you so much and within minutes they will talk about or break up with you . Im sure some of them are great but to try to talk to them about things....they look at confused an tilt their head to an fro....least there are millions of em marriage...no. They dont tell you much and you cant really talk , its ok at first but after a while its tough.

So I wake up, first day in japan, go outside its hot , we are situated in the red light district in Omiya 40 minutes from Tokyo. I am surrounded by shady places crammed together. I am nervous this is the day to audition. I meet a few people everyone is pretty cool, but I can only think about this first dance, you see I only studied one dance in the Gold coast and I didnt want to steal it. So I decided to go with what I know... hard core rock an roll...Hells Bells, leather vest black pants and a cloak...My salary and job depends on this show...time passes slowly...The guys come get me they are nice, we walk through the black haired people, half naked working girls, lights, cars, taxis and get to the club.... the cu.t mama comes eveyone gets a front row seat, the lights go down and on comes Hells Bellssss...

2009-12-07T17:14:00.000-08:00

So Im off to see where im going to live I walk into this dungy old Karaoke place with all these seperate rooms, the hallways dark, not a great smell, I get to my room, open it up, and to my suprise quite nice inside. They then leave me , I am alone everyone else is workin in the club. I unpack, check my costume, and my manager gave me 10 thousand yen (100 $). I go check the kitchen, and the first thing I see is a huge rat. GREAT, Its those moments you wonder did I make the right decision, I remember In my mind I thought I would of had a great place, and they would have given me two beautiful young j girls for the night, not one big rat

How to get a fifty dollar bus with 3 dollars

2009-11-30T16:11:00.000-08:00

So I had to use one of my remaining coins, and call again. Needless to say a foreign agent for a strip club in Japan may not be the most trustworthy , intelligent or nice person you may come across. I called him again and it turns out they are waiting for me at Omiya station, the train station. Not the airport? Once again what the f..k? So he tells me no problem just take the 50 dollar bus to the train station....so I tell hinm I have 3 dollars... he says no problem he will pay for the bus at the station where he is and i can pick up the ticket at the office where i am...It worked. I was on the bus and off to some station where my life (strippin) in Japan would begin. To b cont...... Anh here are some more of my designs and clothing

First day in Japan

Japanese women, an T.V.

2009-11-26T21:51:00.000-08:00

Had a few drinks last night with a buddy, we talked about x japanese girlfriends , turns out there seems to b a type that is very planning and seductive often quite sexy. Their only goal in life is to try to capture a man at any means. Then they will the best girl youve ever met till you mary them then they will try to control aspects bof your life, get your money and try to destroy all your confidence. I don t know if they are trained to do this or really they have no guilt and no love. Careful boys. In this blog I will go back and forth to the past and the present. I did a great tv show two weeks with one of my best friends, he was a cop, I was a kidnapper ( a 4 year old girl) the director gave me the freedom to act as crazy as I wanted. I used a bit of joker and a bit of batman, it was fun, then Greg shot me and i really ripped off half of the top of my pinky when a piece of wire sliced me as I fell. Oh well all part of doin action, but I love it. Nother show tomorrow just extra though, Have a good weekend all

2009-11-25T17:27:00.000-08:00

Bang I had to send my pictures to the club in Japan if they liked me I would go. They did , I had a plane ticket waiting for me at the airport in a week. Ok I got a week to learn how to strip make costumes, choose songs say goodbye and go. I had about a hundred and fifty dollars. My friends would not join me till a month later, I was off to japan in the end with twenty dollars, one costume one g string a good tan good shape , very little strippin skills no actual stage experience, a surf board one phone number for my agent in japan and a hell of alot a balllls, I figured if it went all bad i would go to the Canadian embassy and ask for help. On the plane I got , seeya Aus, hello Godzilla.

Why Japan

2009-11-24T20:44:00.000-08:00

Well after living and trying to get a visa for five years on the Gold Coast, I couldnt. At the time two companies where trying to sponcer me as an artist. I was surfing everyday painting and had just started modelling and acting. I also met alot of male strippers at the gym ( not a gay thing, im straight). My friend and I went to watch a show, i was very impressed and many girls asked if we were the new guys, as you do we said yes. I then started to practice with them. I was then informed that immigration said no to both companies, and I only had a week left on my visa. So I called my friends down in Sydney, they said they were going to go strip in Japan and make alot of money and I should join them. I said Yes, why not.

The beginning

2009-11-23T17:37:00.000-08:00

Travelling to Japan from Australia, with 20 ausie dollars, all my stuff, and a surfboard ready to sell in case of emergency....Sound like fun? It wasnt. Why? To become a stripper make money and move back to Australia. Ill start by telling that all my life I played sports and was an artist. I got my degree in Fine Arts and played football at the University of Waterloo. I was a linebacker my last year we won the Ontario cup, and we were ranked number one all year, I wanted to go pro but had too many injuries. I loved performing and being under pressure in front of a crowd. Our coaches (Tuffy Knight) told us once we finish training camp the rest of our lives would be easy .... he was sorta right. All my life I wanted to surf well after seeing Point Break. So I moved to Australia to become a surfer.
