Just in time for Halloween, the local grocery store brought in these “Dracula Bl00d Oranges” from Australia. Sliced them open and they’re so pretty! They’d look amazing on the rim of a Halloween cocktail, don’t you think? Like stained glass in Dracula’s castle… 🧛🏼♀️💜😈
They’re not super sweet, almost closer to tasting like a pink grapefruit 😋

One of the things I started doing this year (and am going to try to do more of in 2023) is solo travel. They say you should try to go somewhere you’ve never been at least once every year, even if it’s just to the other side of town. It really does help you see things from a bigger perspective - and I’m really loving traveling solo 🥰
I went to college in The South, but we always seemed to go to Spring Break in NOLA, so I never really did the beach thing. So a couple of months ago, I went to Cancun (you guys saw the Capsule Hotel pics from that trip a while ago; if you missed it, just scroll down). But I never shared the food I had, so for Taco Tuesday, here are two places I really enjoyed.
The first is a street vendor taco on Isla Mujeres, an island you can rent a golf cart and ride around on - you need to get on a ferry to get there. Had these and some Mexican cola while chatting with a couple from Colombia 💜
The second pic is from Dons Tacos in Cancun (no apostrophe). A cute shack right on the side of the road, across from those All-Inclusive Hotels tourists go to (I think it’s weird to go to a vacation spot and stay in one hotel the whole time, but you do you, I suppose). OMG these tacos were so good! A couple shrimp, and a couple fried avocado ones, with a michelada (my new obsession, hehe) & doused with their homemade tamarind hot sauce (they have a crate with like a dozen different kinds). I wish they sold that hot sauce by the bottle, it was so good!
Nom nom nom…happy Taco Tuesday!
💜😋🌮😋💜
Happy Monday! Stop by my Premium acct @KellyShibari to get a closer look at these Polaroids, as I look into what the new Polaroid cameras look like these days.
Would def love to have one on hand for the AVN convention in January so ppl can have super-unique photos with me. Def feels more personal than a stack of the same signed photo, right? 💜
I don’t have a lot of items on my Amazon Wish List, but my goodness, some of you are absolute gentlemen! These are my absolute favorite candles, and it really makes my space smell absolutely wonderful 🥰
I’m not really much of a frivolous shopper, so I’m always open to suggestions as well. If you see something, send a pic / link my way and see if it’s something I’d enjoy 💜
(And no, I don’t mean a pic of your 🍆 - though you can send those too, with a Tip, on my Premium acct @KellyShibari)
So here’s the big news I teased y’all with last week - I’ll be signing at AVN (Adult Entertainment Expo dot commmmm) in January! 😍
Details soon, but I wanted to share the news with y’all here 💜
It’ll be interesting, returning after being away from public things for 7 years. I really hope to see you guys there! 🥰
New cooking episode just went live on OFTV! Stop by and learn how to make yummy Miso Eggplant (ナスの味噌炒め) with me 🥰

Ooooh lookit, it looks like a decent amount, but it’s really only just enough to maybe make a little personal jar of grape jam for myself (or a few handfuls of raisins if I had a dehydrator, haha) - still, a cute little haul 💜🍇💜
Ready to shoot some cooking content today, but I should probably take these rollers out first…put on some makeup…and maybe put on some pants (you’ll have to subscribe to my Premium acct over at @KellyShibari to see the whole pic, hehe) 😈
PS Have some super fun news to share next week about my first event appearance in six years! I’m so excited, stay tuned 😍
OMG I had so much stuff going on this week, I thought today was Thursday, d’oh 😅
So - belated Throwback Thursday post - a Polaroid from a boudoir shoot I did during the AVN Expo a “few” years back with my purple hair. Polaroids are so rare these days - they’re def a one-of-a-kind collectible. I should think about getting a Polaroid camera when I start doing events again 💜
To see the rest of this set, you’ll have to visit my Premium site @KellyShibari - it’s on the main feed there to kick off your weekend 😉
One of the weird things about growing your hair back out after cutting it super short is the wait before you can have bangs again - patience has been rewarded! So happy to have them back again so I can stop wearing baseball caps all the time.
I’m fickle tho, so we’ll see how long it takes before I want to grow them out again… 😅
PS I love it when the sunlight hits just right, so you can see the green in my hazel eyes 💜
Just got back from an amazing girls’ trip that was partially off-the-grid, have some really fun pics & videos to share before I post them on my socials! 😍
I’ve really missed traveling, esp after having been a hikikomori / hermit these past six years. This might be the year (late start, I know, but better late than never) I start checking off my travel bucket list 🥰
Where would you travel to, if you could go wherever you wanted? ✈️
Tbh I kinda miss these Velma glasses…I should try to find similar ones maybe? 🤓
The purple hair I’ll always miss, but good jeebus the upkeep was too much for this low(er)-maintenance panda, lol…next time I’ll just get a wig 😜
Missed my Monday Motivation DM? I know not everyone likes going through DMs, so here it is in your Feed as a T*tteh Tuesday post 💜
You can find even spicier content on my Premium acct @KellyShibari, btw, if you’d like to take things a step further (and where posts like this are free!)…hope to see you there 😈
So, I suppose this is what 50 looks like, hehe...
Didn't really make any plans for what's apparently a milestone bday, but I might pop into my fave Asian coffee shop to pick up a treat, and wait until Monday to do a dinner thing (because Vegas tourists can be scary, haha).
If you're so inclined, my Amazon Wish List is in my profile, but also here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3TGWVCO94X3FJ
I think this is when AARP starts knocking on my door, right? 🤪
Brand new OFTV episode is now live! We’re not quite into fall yet, but this risotto-inspired rice cooker porridge is super tasty and a great dinner recipe to impress your date 💜

One of the things I love most about summer are baseball games! The balls, the hot dogs, doing the wave in the stands…so much fun! Do you have a fave sport you like going to with friends?
To see the rest of this photo set, you’ll have to subscribe to my premium account, at @kellyshibari 💜
Back home and I miss Cancun already! Have to make plans for a return trip soon…maybe I can stay there while I wait for Japan to open back up?
At this point, I may have to try to get a job with a Japanese 英会話 (eikaiwa) company teaching English just to make it back home lol……..sigh 😅
Any suggestions on countries I should visit next? Someone mentioned Costa Rica the other day…maybe Portugal? So many options! ✈️
Still on my trip south of the border - love this swimsuit, but how much you wanna bet this is going to give me the weirdest tan line? (You’re gonna have to check my other acct for the answer) 😉
I can never seem to escape KrispyKreme; there’s even one right outside where I’m staying, lol. Maybe I should go check if they have different offerings than in the US? 🤔😄
Currently on a short vacation south of the border, now that the summer travel rush seems to be over 💜
Will be showing sneak peeks all week over at @KellyShibari, including the super fun spot where I’m staying 🥰
Spent the weekend working on new recipes & chatting in the DMs, soooo much fun! Love getting to know so many of you & answering your questions, def inspired to kick off a new week 🥰
Today’s plan: scheduling my hair appt, this cougar-panda needs her roots touched up! 😜
