Kissing Girls in All Three Dimensions


So, the long awaited 'Episode 103' of my show has finally been released and some of you have already seen the whole truth about my first meeting with Maddy.

Well, let me explain.

It's not like we just met and I face planted myself in her cooch over lunch, although thanks to the magic of television, I realize that's how it appears.

Truth is, it was more like the 3rd or 4th meeting with Maddy, late at night after drinks and long conversations about my journey from California and well... enough beer and intimate conversation and one thing led to another.


And another...


And another...


And well... that kept going until we were both sticky and panting loud enough to not hear Julia come thru the door upstairs. A feeling that reminds me of those closed door fumblings with my high school boyfriend, hoping to get off before mom comes home from work and catches us both with our pants down.

Fortunately, Julia seems to be too preoccupied with her own drama to really pay any attention to what's going on in my life. Between this mystery 'project' she's working on at work and what seems like constant fighting with Jeffrey about his life, she barely has time to notice what I'm doing. She's certainly not cruising the internet for videos about me.

Which is just fine with me. It saves me a pretty awkward conversation.

And of course, none of what I explained above is part of the free version you'll find on Youtube or MaddyGTV or even in the theater at ItsATashaThing. The free versions found there are supported by advertisers like Target, the new "Step Up" dance movie and VistaPrint. None of which would be all too pleased about putting their logo in front of this kind of deviant behavior.

To see the 'whole truth' of the matter, you must buy one of the Uncensored downloads. At $3 - $4 (2D & 3D respectively) is a small price to pay to witness my first real scene with a girl.


What you do get to see however in these versions is the full on 3D effect. If you have any pair of standard "Red / Blue" 3D Glasses, the image above is going to probably make you smack your hand on your computer screen.


If you're among those trying to find a way into my bedroom, this is it. (And way safer than trying to crawl thru the window).

This special 3D Episode was Directed by Award Winning 3D Filmmaker Paul Gorman, who's 3D work is hailed by critics as being "Better than what Hollywood is putting out..." so if you're a fan of 3D movies like I am, you're not going to be disappointed in it.

I've talked in private circles (less public forums, and social network chat) about the current state of the show and it's potential demise. While I haven't kept it a secret that the future of "It's A Tasha Thing" is very much on the ropes, for a pretty wide variety of reasons many of which are more complicated than can be explained in a simple status update. I've been piecing together an appropriate explanation in my mind that I can present to you here on my blog, but until I'm able to do that, I just want to stress that your support is needed to keep the show going.

Many of the show's original sponsors have since turned on their heels and headed out the back door, leaving just one more Episode of the show left for release. As of right now, Episode 104 is the very last episode of "It's A Tasha Thing" scheduled.

The tide can be turned with your support. The show relies on advertisers, so if you cannot, or simply will not purchase one of the downloads, then you can still help by watching the commercials on the free versions. Spread the word by sharing the episode with your friends.

It makes a difference and it matters now more than ever if you have been enjoying the show and want to see it continue.

I'll get more into this issue in a future blog. The issue is complex and involves more than just our company. I'm not ready to put this 'thing' to bed yet, so I hope you'll join me in keeping it going.

Until next time,

<3 Tasha

I'd Like To Thank The Gathering...

Anna Davidova - Tasha James
I just received word that my show "It's A Tasha Thing" has won "Best TV Pilot" at the 16th Annual Indie Gathering Film Festival held this August in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Indie Gathering is ranked among the top 25 Film Festivals in the World by Movie Maker Magazine and is considered the premiere 'Proving Ground' for independent films around the world, with entries from dozens of countries including Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany and Italy.

With World wide competition, I'm fiercely proud and honored to have a win in this festival. As I've said many times, this show didn't create itself. I owe a great deal of gratitude to A LOT of people who brought my story to life.

Dig!t Dave, Tasha James, Mark Audess
First off, Marie Madison and Mark Audess who are the Executive Producers of the show along with their partner Max Edwards. A special nod to Mark, who wrote the Screenplay with the help of his 'Writing Room' (Staff Writers) including Anna Davidova, Joe Kelly, Adam Moore and Marie Madison.

Of course, there wouldn't be a show without the cast. So, I have to thank Marie Madison, Anna Davidova, Dig!t Dave, Cody Hoepfl, Joe Kelly, Angelina Leigh, Mark Audess, Mike Socie, John Michaels, Chrissy Rice, Jeanette Hannah, Jeremy Krukowski, Virginia Sult, Seneca Shongo, MoFryky, Jenny Densuke, Maggie McQuire, Samantha Hoepfl, Taylor Gorman  and the talented and brave friends who filled in the backgrounds as extras.

There's the crew - and I'll admit, I don't know most of them by name, because I did my best to stay out of their way. But without the fine guys and gals who handled the sound, lighting, cameras and post production no one would have ever seen the show to begin with.

Same goes for the very patient and generous business owners who allowed us to use their places of business for locations. Creekside Bar & Grill, Pier 21 and Union Station among them.

And I'm sure I'm leaving some people out, for which I apologize in advance. The people that have surrounded this project have been numerous and all of them irreplaceable. I truly feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to tell my story this way and be a part of such a creative project with such creative people.

The actual screening schedule for the festival has not been announced yet, so I don't know when (or even if) they will be screening "It's A Tasha Thing", but I will be attending the event regardless. GMD Films will have a vendor booth at the festival where I'll be appearing to help promote the show and I'll have DVD's, Blu-Ray's and Photos and get a chance to meet some people.

The event is August 17 - 19th, 2012 in Hudson, OH (just outside Cleveland) and a VIP pass for the entire event is just $35 when purchased in advance. You can get your tickets here right now. The price goes up to $45 at the door, so if you know for sure you are going get your passes in advance.

Lastly, if you are going to go, be sure to send me an e-mail and let me know. I would love to meet as many of my friends and fans as possible.

Episode 103 should be out this week!
