weissesphotography Asked: Why are you so shy about your accent? It's hot!

apart from the accent - i mispronounce things, make goofy mistakes, and stagger/hesitate. to make it worse - i am not as eloquent in russian as i used to be, either. that makes me feel pretty darn dumb at times. i think it may be akin to the embarrassment and frustration that stutterers feel.

Anonymous Asked: Out of curiosity, do you have a youtube or have you ever posted any vlogs? I'm super curious about whether your voice/accent sounds like the terribly cliched version I apologetically imagine it to be.

i don’t have no youtubes and am too shy (ironically) for vlogs. my accent is quite clichéd, so imagine away without any qualms

The Freak-Ass-Bitch pasta with Not-So-Lazy Sauce

so when you are feeling too lazy/tired to make pasta sauce entirely from scratch, but the stuff you get in a jar at the store is too thin and boring for your taste - make a tasty base for the sauce.
start with shallots and garlic, cut em up, throw em onto olive oil that already warmed up on medium heat. season those babies (i used sea salt, black peppercorns) 
start your pasta water boiling in a different (hehe) pot.
once those are getting simmery and golden when you toss them around - add chopped veggies (in my case yellow and red bell pepper, cuz they look pretty together, but you can add zucchini, tomato, mushrooms, whatever). add more seasoning (i added mustard seeds, coriander seed, chili powder).
water should be boiling at this point, dump in your choice of pasta. i went for campanelle, cuz i never tried it before and it looked weirdly neat at the store. like a mix between a flower and a fungus! i bet it looks fucking creepy and fantastic with morel mushrooms (Leks pipes in saying they look like hollowed-out zombie dick)
finish your chilled bourbon while the stuff is cooking!
pour your canned pasta sauce onto the cooked veggies, turn the heat down to low - you don’t want the sauce to boil - just gotta mix it with the veg and get it nice and hot.
time to cut the cheese. i went for rugged mature british cheddar - it’s nice and sweaty, with ample calcification - which i fucking LOVE. slice it thinnish. we are going to crumble that stuff onto the hot drained el dente pasta instead of grating it. crumble it into tiny bits and wash your hands before you touch your junk. stinky!
mix pasta and cheesy morsels, pour chunky sauce onto it, stir again.
that was pretty fast and easy (and if you’re lucky - fucking tasty), yet you don’t feel like a foul bachelor frog eating a dinner of dull canned pasta sauce. yep!

yes.

edit: it’s delicious. light IPA with some unfiltered wheatiness to it + coriander & orange peel. these guys at Phillips never cease to amaze me.

stigblog Asked: Hello! Are you as comfortable in your own skin as your photography makes it appear?

it’s a work in progress. like anyone else - i have self-esteem issues. i am pretty terrible at taking compliments, cuz i rarely think i deserve them. i used to write off online compliments as a product of my crafty trickery, as if i manage to pull wool over people’s eyes with posing/lighting/angles/post-processing and pass something mediocre as beautiful. i am learning to love and accept myself as is more and more, but still have down days, often stare at my feet in the presence of people i find attractive, and awkwardly slouch / screw my face up when feeling uncomfortable in public.
