Thanks Charles for all of your support

Beverly Hills Outlook

just a little info...

Though I will be out of town, bummer, wanted to help promote Stockroom's Fetish Ball. Should be fun, if hot woman wearing skin tight latex is your idea of fun, like it is mine. Also, was asked where to get the Goliath book, so here is that link. Packing my bags and getting ready for the airport. 

...and the reviews just keep coming in

Eros Zine has just published their review of Vignette. Check it out... 

Flying out of town tomorrow. Who knows what or whom I'll see on my trip. Heading out to the east coast. Bringing my cameras just in case......

Also, looks like I will be having a paysite coming up here real soon. Going to have more of my video work as well as a lot more pics... Stay tuned

Published!!

Well, the Goliath book "My Favorite Model" is now officially out all over the world. You can see my set of pictures of the beautiful Justine. You can also see my ugly mug in the back of the book, if you want to put a face to these words. It's a really nice book, great quality. Lot of great pictures of beautiful woman from around the world.

Nice n' Smooth

Here's Carmen smoothing out the underside. Well, it looks like I will be in Vegas this January for AEE & AVN. Want to stay for Internext, but really don't know how long I can last in Vegas. I tend to not sleep and over indulge for some strange reason. We'll see if I can last....

Vignette gets praise from Beverly Hills

Vignette just received a great review from the Beverly Hills Outlook. Charles Lomberger gives a detailed account for the DVD. 

Check it out at Beverly Hills Outlook.

The review is under the Film section.

I've been shooting a few new models lately and also the great and mammary envied Monica Mendez. I'll be posting some of the results later this week.

KNOCK, KNOCK !!! WHOSE THERE??

Holy Shit, It's Kimberley Kane. And I don't think she has a top on!! Let me grab my camera. 

Vignette has been making its way around to columnists and magazines and has been getting great reviews!! Charles Lonberger of the Beverly Hills Outlook called it "unabashedly erotic"!! 

VIGNETTE -- My Directorial Debut DVD

YAHTZEE!!!

After a hard and grueling week, it's nice to sit back and enjoy a nice dice game. As you can see our playing style is a bit unorthodox. I'm a bit more of a 5's roller on the dice, but this roller has an affinity for 3's. On the dice and  then ..... some

Now back to our regularly scheduled program...

Well, after a politically charged weekend and a little bit of a reality check, the Strausse is back.... here's Eternal Bliss, looking, well shall we say, accommodating.

A Reflection

Ran into an old work friend last night. She's fighting brain tumors and is going in for more treatment next week. Talked a lot about positive thinking. So, just wanted to throw out some energy for her. You can see her blog at tumor girl

Stop The War & This Administration

Anti War Rally in downtown Los Angeles. One of many staged around the U.S. I think it's time we as Americans take back some of this power that we have so foolishly given to a select few and then left unchecked. Stop the daily exercise of slowly taking away any freedoms or pivacies we have as Americans. National Security is a blanket statement to hide the true actions of this government. Do you really trust these people that much????

Name change????

Well, her nickname was Chicken, but after this night I'm not so sure.

Then again, we've only just begun...

What happened to October???

No, seriously... I have no idea where this month went??? Finishing up on the next updates for my website. The store will be opening up, so Nathan Strausse prints will finally be available to those that have been emailing asking. There will also be a few other Nathan Strausse items available, but we'll leave that for a surprise.

Everyone start getting your costumes ready, Halloween is here!!!

The beginning of the NS clothing line????

This is what you do on your Friday night when you just don't feel like going out. You make t-shirts and have a beautiful woman showcase your work! Why would I ever leave my apartment again??? In the very near future I will have my store open and you too can wear a Nathan Strausse original!!

dark as a dungeon

Here's Mya tied up in a dark dungeon. This is the end of a full suspension. Had Damon Pierce do the rigging. Best rigger in L.A.!! Soon I'll be doing suspensions. As for now, what I'm working with is suffice. So much just in form and ties in itself.

a little more foot....

Here's a little snap of Monica Mendez's lovely foot. Something from earlier this year at Adult Con I believe. Not too much shooting lately, mostly the post side of it all. My DVD is near completion. Another week and it will be ready for release. Other than that, still taking bits and pieces of my back logged editing projects. IS there really 24 hours in a day?? Feels like 24 minutes. Weeks pass by like days. I have no idea how it's October already!!

Aria's Dancing Stockings!!

Aria Giovanni's Toes & Stockings are dancing!!! Seriously, though, if you quickly look back and forth between the two, they are doing a little dance. Huh?? Huh?? Alright, I'm going a bit stir crazy...

Well after a delightful night at the Roosevelt Hotel, drinking nice red wine and sitting by the pool with a great bunch of lovely ladies and a full moon, I finally got my ass back to some serious work. Trying to catch up on my editing. Too many projects, not enough hands. My big problem is I tend to edit a lot more photographs than most, so it definitely takes me a bit longer than most. And, sometimes, just to obtain the look I'm looking for can be an hour to two. But after 3 days of not leaving the apt., I've put a small but significant dent into my workload. One more day tomorrow and then football on Sunday!! Go Giants...!!!

... and if you're really nice, I'll make you jewelry.

Just a little something for my friend. This is what you get if you cook Nathan dinner....

The beginning...

Here's the beginning of my Saturday night going to the Erotic Festival party. Needless to say there were more pictures taken afterwards.

So now it's time to re-organize the shop a little bit. Bringing in a shrink wrap machine for my upcoming DVD. I know at some point this machine will take on a whole new purpose the inventors had no idea of.

Festivals and Zines, oh my!!

Alright, well so much has happened in the past couple of days. First off, Los Angeles Erotic Film Festival. Great time, great people. Got to see some great films. My film Bad Girl, part 2 had a full screening. It's such a kick to see your work projected and with a group of people watching. Felt like the old days of the porn theatres.

Second, Eros Zine just put up a great write up of my work. Go check it out here...

EROS ZINE

My debut DVD is getting close to completion. Once it's all packaged up, you know I'll let you know.

More to come, gotta run........

A little twist....

Just a little something I threw together for a photo shoot. Put my own little twist on it.

Getting excited for the Erotica Film Festival this weekend. Can't wait to see what they have in store.

Been working on a couple new things, so please check back soon. Hopefully i will be having more video on my website.......

The simple things in life....

... and when it's all going down in a whirlwind, you don't which end is up and your mind is spinning in a thousand directions, you just look down and what do we have here??? Ahhh, a little bit of clarity.

Guess I'm just a sucker for feet.

and legs

and hair

and lips

and breasts

and....

Bad Girl, Part II

Bad Girl, Part II will be showing at the L.A. Erotica Film Festival , Sept. 16th at 1:30pm. The festival is being held at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood.

Official Selection for the Erotic Film Fest...

Just found out that one of my vignettes, Bad Girl pt. 2, is going to be playing at the Erotic Film Fest in Los Angeles. The festival is the weekend of Sept. 15th & 16th at The Knitting Factory in Los Angeles. My film will be playing on Sunday at 1:30 in the Boom Boom Room (Alterknit Lounge). So come on down. Should be a great time.....

I'm Melting!!!!

Alright, so, the summer wasn't so bad until a few days ago. L.A. has been lucky this whole summer, but now we are making up for lost heat waves. So to help myself cool down I just stare at this ice cube that Justine holds so nicely. Things are so hot here, my computer crashed because of the heat. Now I have it raised and a fan blowing on it constantly. The show must go on!!!

Green with envy.....

Here's a picture from a set that I just finished. I shot Zoli on Mother's Day. Seems we tend to always be shooting on holidays and making great work as well. Note to self, shoot with Zoli on Bastille Day. These have sat on my to do board for a while. Sometimes it takes me a while to jump right into a set. You have to give it time to digest before you can really start. But I feel this photo set would make any mother proud and other's green with envy.

Did you know........

Did you know that on the inside of a BMW trunk it has a diagram of how to fit four golf bags. We didn't have golf bags..... But we did manage to get Maria Menendez to fit into the trunk.

Sometimes I color outside of the lines...

Came across this pic. That's Andrew Blake and I hard at work with our lovely canvas, Sapphira. I actually met Sapphira about 1 hour before this. She had just flown in from Miami. I had talked with her on the phone and through emails, but never met her in person. Then after an hour of getting to know each other, we tied her up, greased her up and painted her nipples and pubic hair white!!! Hey, your first impression is what everyone remembers. Make sure it counts....

And so it begins.....

As my first entry, I give you a little capture of my past weekend. What I would call probably the funnest game of dominoes I've ever played.
