Naked Cowgirl Updates June 18, 2012

     Time flies when you're having fun, especially when you're being productive! I can't believe it's been 6 months since my last entry, so this is continuing where I left off in January. It's been on my "to-do-list" for a while, but kept slipping further down on the priority list. It's a good thing I have my appointment to refer to. Just to clarify for anyone reading this for the first time, this blog is meant to be my "trail of events", or a journal to record events I've done, days spent in Times Square, or anything relevant to my being the Naked Cowgirl. Feel free to read and comment.

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY, Feb. 5th
It was pretty darn cold that day but I knew it would be a great day to be in Times Square considering the NY Giants were in the Superbowl. Aron Ross and a few other players from the team live in my complex during the football season, so there is a lot "Go Giants" spirit where I live. I thought it would be a good idea to deviate from my regular "Cindy Fox Signature Bikini" that I wear as the Naked Cowgirl and paint a bikini and cowgirl hat with the Giants' logo. Everyone in Times Square loved it, including a photographer from Reuters who happened to be out there at the exact moment I stopped and posed to take some photos with the Naked Cowboy. Being that the Giants won the Superbowl this year, I got to wear that outfit out there the day of their celebration parade as well on February 7th.
Times Square Appearances:
Sunday, 3/3
Thursday 3/8
Saturday, 3/17 - St. Patrick's Day I took a photo with Cllr. Thomas Kinsella, Mayor of County Carlow, who came up to me after the parade.
Wednesday, 3/21
Friday, 3/30 - Appearance at Resorts Casino with Naked Cowboy:  We were hired to promote their casino for the rodeo that was in town that day. We made a splash at Night Fever, the hot dance club there, as well dancing and mingling at Pro Bar, the first Gay bar in a Casino. We had a great time dancing up on the stage and platforms as well is with the people hanging out there. Marc Berman of NJ.com and The Marc Berman Show came to take photos of us, as did many others.
Sunday, 4/1
Friday, 4/6
Friday, 4/13

Monday, April 30th - Filming began for my "Ride It Like A Cowgirl" Music Video, produced by Half Full Media Productions, with Blake Brewer and Ari Blau.
Day 1 of the shoot started at Eric Alt's Salon in Hohokus, NJ with Celebrity Hair Stylyist Eric Altomare, and Brooke Tammaro-Vallon of Baseball Wives. Thanks to my awesome Make Up Artist, Tiffany Aiello, my terrific photographer, Rula Kanawati, and Lynn Nasarenko who did a complimentary spray tan on me, I looked Fabulous in the photos! It's always good to have a solid support system, which also included Lori Michaels, who wrote and Co-produced my song with Giuseppe D.
The second segment of filming for the day was in Times Square where I met up with the Naked Cowboy and we got the crowd dancing and singing "Jump it, Shake it, Rock n' Roll", which is part of the chorus in my song. We also had a guest appearances from Spiderman and Miss Teen New Jersey. I was also flattered to have my Facebook friend Nancy Pignone drive from Connecticut and stay in NY for the night just so she could be a part of my filming. It's great to have loyal fans!

Tuesday, May 1st - Day 2 of the shoot was at Whiskey Cafe in Lyndhurst, NJ.
I was so excited to see how many people showed up to be a part of my music, including two old friends from the gym, Susan Polito and Stacey DiGiacomo. Two of my co-workers from Hackensack University Medical Center, Sean Smith and Christian Rothchild and their friend Mario,  also came to participate in the bar scene. I had a suprise visit from Chauce Hayden with Metropolis Magazine, who I hadn't seen since I was on his Steppin Out Live Show a year ago. There are too many people who came to show support and be in my video that I can not name everyone, but appreciate every one of them being there!

Courtney Lynch, co-owner with Lori Michaels of THE ViiBE Dance Studio brought 6 of their top dancers to be my backup dancers on stage. Not only are they all HOT, but they tore up the stage with the "Cowgirl Dance". One of them was even so brave as to repeatedly suck down Naked Cowboy Hot Sauce on the Naked Cowboy Oysters, both products of Blue Island Shellfish Farms, one of my biggest sponsors for the video. Wait until you see the "Sexy Oyster Eating" that went on in that scene! There's also a cameo appearance made by singer/dancer/performer "Dyke Diva" Lori Michaels.
The Music Video Release Party for this will be the last week in June in or near Times Square. Be sure to follow me www.twitter.com/nakedcowgirlfox as well as www.facebook.com/NKDcowgirl to find out more details.

Saturday, 5/12 - A Happy day for me because my son returned on a two-week leave from the US Air Force, just in time for Mother's Day, before leaving on Memorial Day to be stationed in Germany for two years.
Thursday 5/17
FLEET WEEK - Memorial Day Weekend
Saturday, 5/26 - There were Marines and Navy men and women all over Times Square celebrating Fleet Week with stage performances, military vehicles on display, and a lot of supportive citizens. I had some great photos taken of me in my Red, White, and Blue Naked Cowgirl Bikini by Photographer Dez Santana www.dezsantana.com which can seen on my www.flicker.com/nakedcowgirlfox as well as my Facebook page listed above.
Sunday, 5/27 - Another great day in Times Square during the holiday weekend, which ended with a visit from my friend Minoo Mirsaidi, with whom I left to go get Sushi and Sake.

Well, that brings me to up to the current month of June. Stay tuned for more information about the vidoe release party and any other fun thing going on in the life Cindy Fox Fitness aka Naked Cowgirl.

Naked Cowgirl Updates Jan. 9, 2012

Happy New Year to all! It has been a great year for me and I hope it has been for all of you reading this. Since it has been several months since my last entry, I will recap by stating that this "Naked Cowgirl Updates" Blog is partly meant to entertain or inform my readers of the exciting (and sometimes frustrating)goings on in my "Cowgirl" world, but is also meant to be my own "trail of Events" so I always have something to look back upon with actual dates, place, people, etc... I have had a lot going on since my last entry so I will just list most of these dates, rather than write about them...unless there's something to tell:)
Times Square- September
9/14/11 4:15-6:30 & 7-8pm
9/15/11....My o oldest son and I share the same birthday on this day so I took him and my other son and daughter out for an early dinner, which is always a great day!
9/16/11 My mom and my sister Flew in from Florida to be here for a going-away party for my son who was leaving for Basic Training in the Air Force. I got to hang out with my sister Tarra for the first time in several years without a bunch of kids crying and a lot of yelling. My cousin Meleah came out with us and we met up with some of their friends. It was great to reconnect!
Times Square
9/17/11 5:10-6:45
9/18/11 3:50-4:45...This was the day I was having my son's party at Cheeseburger In Paradise where he was a server. Practically my whole family was coming so I planned to be in and out of Times Square within an hour but there was a street fair going on that caused INSANE traffic to the point I almost went home, but I didn't. I made it to the party about 15 mins. late, but we all had a nice time and some of them stayed to hang out with friends after the family left.
9/21/11 I took my mom to see "Jersey Boys" in NY, which was amazing! She still had an impression of this area as being a place where you will get mugged or raped, so I had to show her it was totally different from even 15 years ago. Back then if you saw a guy playing a guitar in his undies on 45th Street you would quickly walk the other way, now the people crowd around and wait there turn to take a photo with the "Naked Cowboy". The pedestrian mall has made Times Square look like any other busy commercialized, highly monitored, tourist attraction.
Times Square
9/25/11 2:15-3:45
9/30/11 6-8:30
Times Square - October

10/10/11 Columbus Day 3- 5:30 3 to 5:30pm
10/15/11 4-7:30 the "Occupy Wall Street" Protestors took over Times Square. I was there before it got too insane but managed to get a lot of photos in several publications (Zimbio.com & Lifemagazine.com). I also am in a funny YouTube video titled "Naked Cowgirl Won't Wear the Ribbon"...like a Seinfeld episode. I went straight from Times Square to the Rotary Club in Rutherford for a Halloween Party/Charity event for the "Gift of Life" in which doctors in the U.S. do open-heart surgery on a select few children from other countries that cannot afford it and would die without the surgery. Seeing a baby smile in her mom's arms after this life-saving surgery helped restore my faith in humanity, considering all the bad we hear on the news.

11/13/11 3-4pm to do an interview and photo shoot for www.ilooksexynaked.com
11/15/11 My son left for Basic Training with a 4 hour notice (after his first date was postponed definitely). I'm so glad I didn't go to work that day or I wouldn't have been there to take him to the bus stop and hug him good-bye. The short notice was better than the last time I thought I had a week left with him and kept crying:(
11/16/11 I made an appearance for a charity event with my dog, Willie, at Solari's Restaurant in Hackensack for the "Special K9 Needs" which helps rescue and give medical attention to dogs with special medical needs. Willie is from a shelter and is missing one eye and needs drops in his existing eye forever.
11/19/11 made an appearance at a gym in Ridgefield, NJ for a fund raiser for Tomorrow's Children, in which my friend's daughter is one of the recipients. I went to another event that night for the same baby at Secaucus' First Charity Ball Charity Event. Both events were a great success!

Then I went to work at the hospital 1-9 and went straight home to make some appetizers for my family and have a glass of wine before the ball dropped.

Well that's the end of my year in a Nutshell!

End of summer 2011

For some strange reason, I have a very hard time going back and editing on Blogger and saving what I had changed. I tried to make some corrections to my "Naked Cowgirl Updates 9/7/11" but after I tried to repost it I realized nothing saved. So I'd like to first start by making a few corrrections:
Naked Cowboy performed a wedding renewal ceremony in Times Square a week ago for a Scottish couple named Jennifer and Graham Provan (it was misspelled before). I also mentioned an interview I had done with Alain Bin Naim during the NYC Gay Pride Parade that was aired on some cable channels (I didn't have his full name posted). I also tried to post other photos including the night out with Lori Michaels wearing the "Only" Collection by Lois Elise but they didn't save either. I'm finishing my "End Of Summer" blog with Labor Day Weekend. Although today is 9/11/2011, I feel any events that occur today deserve their own blog along with special condolences to all who have lost loved ones in the Trade Center Attack 10 years ago.

I had gone into Times Square Friday-Monday of Labor Day Weekend, and although each day was busy, I have to say that Sunday, Sept. 4th was by far the best day out there! I got there around 1:30pm right after the Brazilian Day Parade had just ended. The streets were filled with Brazilians wearing their colors and carrying flags all excited to be there. One of my dearest friends, Debra Cavallini, is Brazilian so I've met many of her friends and have come to the conclusion that Brazilians, generally, are very affectionate, friendly people...and they LOVE "naked" people...lol!
I left Times Square around 4pm knowing I was coming back at 8pm with Naked Cowboy because we were going to do another round until 10:30pm and then head over to a party at the Laugh Lounge on Essex Street. Some of the people who sell tickets in Times SQuare for the Comedy Show invited to their party. It was even more crowded in T.S. at that time of night and their was such energy in the crowd! I even had a run-in with the other 2 cowgirls out there...the younger one who got arrested a couple weeks ago, and the older one, Sandy Kane. That was a rare occurance since I don't usually go there that late. I think the crowd was both cofused and amused at the same time.
We brought Franchisee, Rob Cofmann, and our friend Joe to the party, but it was quite a sight to see 2 "Naked Cowboys" and a "Naked Cowgirl" walking down Essex Street. We also invited our friend Minoo Mirsaidi, who showed up looking like Lady GaGa...and pulled it off I might add:) The party was great!
Monday, Sept. 5
I only went into Times Square for an hour and a half since I wanted to spend time home relaxing. It was not crowded at all in the city that afternoon. There were barely any entertainers or street performers out either. I know the summer isn't officially over until Sept. 22nd, but I don't think I'll have too many days to get to the beach. I only got there 2 or 3 times for a little while and I love the beach! I guess I'll have to just plan to head south a few time this winter, so if you're planning a big Party or Event down south and want to hire the "Naked Cowgirl" to come make an appearance or perform the "Cowgirl Dance" to "Ride It Like A Cowgirl", contact my manager Lori Michaels on Facebook or email me at nakedcowgirlfox@yahoo.com

Naked Cowgirl Updates 9/7/11

I Can't believe the summer is coming to an end. The day after Labor Day weekend was rainy and chilly already. It reminded me of what lies ahead in Times Square very soon....MAJOR GOOSE BUMPS!
Trail of Events:

8/6 & 8/7,...Times Square
8/8...my interview with Alain from the NYC Gay Pride Parade was aired on ch.67/36/& 85
Tuesday, 8/9
Naked Cowboy and I went to Times Square for a while and then walked to 44th st. to The Sky Room Lounge for a Rooftop Fashion Show Party with The Vargas Collection. We made an appearance, mingled, and took photos with Alicat Avril Lemieux, Jones Models, and many others who attended the party. Photographers that night included Marie Papp Photography and EMKphoto1, amongst others. It was a great party with clear skies and a great view of the Empire State Building. We walked the runway and got plenty of photos taken and headed back to Times Square for another round. It was great to be there so late since we are usually both done before 7 or 8pm.

Times Square...Aug. 11, 12, & 13

Monday, Aug. 15
I took my kids to Cape May to visit one of best friends from high School (Frankie) and her family. I got to spend quality time with my kids on the Wild Wood boardwalk in a torrential downpour , got to chit chat at my friend's house over my very own Sangria, brought the kids jet skiing, sat by the pool for a bit, and finished the trip with a great dinner all together in Cape May.
Wednesday, Aug. 17
I Went to the East Village with my talented manager, Lori Michaels, her assistant Ashley, Choreographer Courtney, and Photographer Rula for a premiere of These Showers Can Talk, an improvisational comedy produced and directed by Gabrielle Lindau. Lori was wearing a black tank by designer Lois Elise from her "ONLY" Collection. Lois met us there for a photo-op outside the premiere. We left there starving and hit some awesome Mexican restaurant down the block.
Thursday, Aug. 18
I Made my first LOCAL appearance at LaReggia's Patio Party in Secaucus where there were friends and acquaintances from my own town, thanks to my friend Nicole Tuscano who was organizing the party. I was actually very nervous because it was so close to home and didn't know what to expect. The DJ played my song "Ride It Like A Cowgirl" as I walked in, the bartender, Dana, had a drink waiting, and the customers all took turns getting a photo with me. There was even a group of riders from the Bergen County Harley Dealership that had their own photographer who took photos of me out front on their Harleys. It was a fun night:)

Times Square Aug. 19, 20, & 21

Sunday, Aug. 21st
This was National "Go Topless Day" and New York City had a parade that started at Columbus Circle and went into Central Park for an opportunity for some of the women to talk about experiences they had being topless in public while the press photographed, videoed, and interviewed many people there. It seemed very Ironic for me to show up as "Naked Cowgirl" being I was one of the only women there with a top on! WTF TV (www.wtfworld.com) interviewed me to find out why I wouldn't take my top off. As strange as it seemed, I actually got an email from a woman in Hawaii who attended a "Go Topless" event there, telling me my interview was inspiring. It was good to hear since I didn't know how the women would feel about my showing up with a top to this event. Here is the YouTube video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4nvbrKTy9s&feature=email .

Times Square Aug. 24, 26, 30 & 31

Wednesday, Aug. 31st
Naked Cowboy was performing a wedding ceremony (an Ordained Minister)in Times Square for a couple, Jennifer and Graham Broban, from Scotland who wanted to renew their vows for their 15-year Anniversary. They didn't have any family or friends here in NY with them so we had a few guys videoing the ceremony. I had agreed to make a "Surprise" appearance as Naked Cowgirl and present the Bride with flowers from her best friend Joann from back home who couldn't attend. Jennifer was thrilled, but the "Surprise" was on me when I found out the my oldest son was one of the videographers. Of course my children know I'm the Naked Cowgirl, but it's not an easy thing for my sons to deal with and none of them have actually seen me in action. It was definitely an awkward moment, but I guess also an ice breaker for the situation.
It's been a Great Summer and I'm hoping the warm weather will stick around for a while!

Naked Cowgirl Updates August 3, 2011

For some strange reason, I often have a difficult time saving and publishing my posts properly on here, so my last blog was cut short, missing a few weeks and without any photos. I was just too frustrated, after all efforts were made, to even try and fix the problem...so here is the rest of my Naked Cowgirl Updates.
Thursday, June 30
I went to a birthday bash at The Shannon on First Street in Hoboken, NJ for a friend of mine, Blaze Coyle, who I also train and is my voice coach. The back room was filled with her friends and co-workers as well as a mutual friend of ours, Lee, from my town. The DJ played my song "Ride It Like A Cowgirl" when I walked into the room as The Naked Cowgirl. The Manager took plenty of photos of not only her guests, but also the patrons that filled the front of the bar. If you were there that night, check www.facebook.com/nakedcowgirl to see my photos.
Tuesday, July 5th
I had to go in for surgery to have my breast implants replaced due to a problem I was having with one that was interfering with everything I do (Times Square, teaching fitness classes, running, laying on my stomach, etc...). I got them 17 years ago after my 2nd child and have had several problems since. I think the very strenuous exercises I do in my classes, specifically push-ups have not been good for them. I don't regret them; let's face it...you can't nurse THREE children and still have perky boobs!!!
Thursday, July 7th
Not only did I go on the Elliptical (without using the arms of course)to get rid of water retention 2 days after surgery, but I felt and looked good enough to make an appearance as Naked Cowgirl in place of Naked Cowboy since he was already booked. Pupie Raia, very well known in Hoboken for his contributions and political ties threw himself a big birthday bash at Frank Sinatra Park in Hoboken, which he has been doing for years. He provides food and beverages and great entertainment for friends and family and anyone in the community who wants to come celebrate with him. He is also the brother of one of my neighbors. I showed up with my friend & neighbor, Erika Muller, the "Blond Bombshell" Insurance Guru of Hoboken and my Manager/Producer ; Celebrity Artist Lori Michaels. I felt completely safe from any possible tight hugs that might hurt my boobs. They were also great with getting me photographed with as many people as I could and also with getting me on my way out in one hour so I could be out of my bikini and back in my ace bandage and ice packs.
Friday, July 8th
I had my follow up doctor apt. and informed her that something wasn't right, but she told me to wait until the swelling went down. I went into Times Square for a little while to make an appearance since I felt good.
Saturday, July 9th
I skipped Times Square for a good cause. My mom and little niece were in for a week from Florida and we had a family party for Alyssa's 4th birthday. I don't get days off very often with all of my jobs and I miss most family parties. I was invited to a birthday Party that evening at The Standard Hotel in NYC for Olympic Ice Skater, Johnny Weir's birthday Party so I could present him with his birthday cake as Naked Cowgirl. For some strange reason the woman at the door could not let me in wearing my cowgirl outfit even though I have a full bikini on and that Johnny's manager was aware of my being there. Apparently a few days prior to that a "Fake" naked cowboy and naked cowgirl showed up there for a party and I'm pretty sure tainted my image and had management "assuming" I was that same person (possibly only wearing pasties or something trashy). It's too bad an imposter ruined the night for so many people, but all in all it was a great day!
Sunday, July 10...Times Square
Wednesday, July 13...Times Square
Friday, July 15...T.S.
Saturday, July 16...T.S.
Sunday, July 17th
I was a little sad to know it was my daughter's 19th birthday and I could see her since she was still in Italy, but I was glad she was having some great experiences. I met up with Naked Cowboy in Times Square later in the afternoon, as did one of his franchisees, Rob Cofmann (owner of Haircutters in the Meadows in Secaucus). Robert, the real Naked Cowboy was performing that night at Ha Comedy Club so we both wanted to be there to cheer him on. The crowd loved him!
Monday, July 18th
Lee Evans of Jambox Studios threw himself a big birthday bash along with his partner Cathy Palmisano at Sullivan Hall in NYC. They had an Open Mic Night as well as some celebrity performers such as Naked Cowboy and Lori Michaels and The Girls. Lori wanted me to make an appearance as Naked Cowgirl since I am a recording artist at Jambox Studios. It was another great party with many great photos that will also be on my facebook page soon.
Wednesday, July 20th...Times Square
Saturday, July 23rd...Times Square
Sunday, July 24th...T.S.
Wednesday, July 27th...T.S.
Friday, July 29th
Back into surgery AGAIN! Yes, one of the implants that was just put in was ruptured and had to be replaces (before I totally recovered and went back to work at the gym and hospital). This time the doctor had to do some reconstruction to make sure everything was even. She knows a big part of what I do for a living pertains to the condition my body is in. I just know that when I wore up I was thinking "Holy Crap! What happened and where is my pain medicine"?
Wednesday, Aug. 3rd
Here it is 5 days after my surgery and I have been taking pain meds. and laying down with ice packs almost around the clock. I did force myself to go into Times Square today and make an appearance even though my abdomen is totally swollen, my legs feel like jello and my steri-strips are slightly showing out of the sides of my bikini top. I was very conservative in everyting I did and did NOT remove the guitar from the front of my body...partly to hide my midsection, but mostly to protect myself from anyone bumping into me. I lasted a little over an hour and then it rained:)
I'm sure each day will get better, and I still have the whole month of August before things slow down a bit in the city.
