nudity at work

Woke late at 11:00 this morning.

Worked naked in bed on the computer & phone till 5:45 this evening.

The calendar has been updated with many events. (I hate html)

Photos have been chosen and are off to the printers.

Final order placed with distributors.

Dinner made.

Soaked in a bath filled with cotton candy scented salts.

Never did put on any clothing today and shortly I plan on returning to bed.

Currently on the bedside table is

How to Expand Love by the Dalai Lama which is an easy read though very reflective & Harriet Jacobs: A Life by Jean F Yellin writing on slavery which is a heavy subject and a hefty book.

Hard to believe that the roof of BC Place went down in today's storm and here it is already on video on YouTube blowing away, then going down.

Tomorrow Jim arrives.

Taboo photos

139 images to view overnight before being forced to decide on personal favorites so they can then be sent to the printers in time for next weeks show. Thousands upon thousands of handouts with my classes & photos in them, very cool advertising.

Here are a few of the images (unfinished) that I like that won't be in the new brochures. I love the black & white striped photograph and the camouflage one is fun in a twisted sort of way.

Reives kiss & sex toys galore

Most of this holiday season has been quite relaxing for me. Today though, today was another story.

I was in a meeting here from 10:00 till 11:15 this morning with a distributor of adult toys and the owner of the store. There they generously piled me up with every sex toy that I wanted or gave a second look at and that was of course in stock. Then they ordered one of every item for me that was not in stock but that I had me heart set on so that I'm the best equipped sex-educator around.

As I was leaving the store Jim was tossing me two more new clitoral vibes / buddies to try and saying "don't forget to try them before tomorrow." (as in Friday, yikes!)

You see, to get the shipment of product in time to the store for next weeks Taboo Show the order must be placed tomorrow. Which means that tonight I'll be in bed demo'ing new clit toys and bondage equipment so I can get my recommendations to the supplier and LS in time for the order. I'm sure a good girl, listening to my boss, trying out sex toys on demand all the while offering critical feedback.

Filled my car trunk with all the booty, then drove just a few short blocks to my photo shoot for the Winter/Spring brochures for LS and that we'll be distributing at the Taboo show as well. I've shot with the photographer before and known him for years so it was easy to get comfy quickly.

The first set of photos we did, was me naked, in black and white striped knee high socks with matching arm warmers and big huge stiletto heels. The second round of photos was done in camouflage and I was able to show off my flexibility. As a final set we shot some pictures of me with toys, just playing around. Apparently before I got to bed tonight I'll have copies of the over 130 pictures that we shot today.

Lunch with Reive was awesome, sadly though we went out to eat and missed the chance to have some private time. It was really great to see him, we've talked a fair bit over the last while on the phone so spending time together just felt like a natural progression for our relationship today. We communicate well and frankly I've missed him in my life. Together we've got some plans this year and watching it all unfold should be a brilliant show. A kiss good-bye sealed this date as one that must be repeated.

By the time I was back in my car it was already 2:30 in the afternoon and my cell phone had 9 messages already. Checked in on my daughter at home and then proceeded to make the drive out of the city and back to Burnaby. Unloaded my trunk onto my office floor and then promptly fell asleep on the sofa for almost 2 hours. Woke up to 7 voice messages on the home phone and 2 more on my cell.

My email account was full of unanswered emails and 1 most curious note. Another toy distributor has contacted me about my education series and has offered me a full sponsorship along with carte blanche to shop at no charge in there store for anything I want or need that will compliment my 4 Taboo classes next week. I rock!

In the last 36 hours, my toy collection has had added it to it over 50 items totaling more than $1800 worth of pleasure. (and yes, there is still more to arrive)

I've got some new toys that even I have never seen before. Experiments must be conducted!

Test subjects wanted. (in order to be considered you must already know where I live and be able some time next week Sunday-Thursday to come over for the experiments) E-mail me.

Made a late dinner here at home in my pj's as my daughter & I finished putting away the Christmas tree and all it's decorations. In a few minutes she will be sitting on my bottom on the sofa massaging my back with oils for 20 minutes. When my turn is over, I will return the favor and rub her down till bedtime at 10:00.

Once daughter is in bed, I've got to put some finishing touches on my classes for next week and if there is any time left, I really really really need to put up the January 2007 workshop schedule for Libido Events.

Plus I still have a ton more of on-line shopping to complete before I can go to bed myself. The photographer mentioned that I should have the images for this evening, so maybe if I'm lucky they'll be to me before I start my forced masturbation and before I have to get some serious sleep.

Ah, the life of a sex-activist...

make-up & a date

Tomorrow I'm doing a photo shoot to gain images for the new Winter / Spring Little Sisters Bookstore brochures, handouts & posters, how awesome that they are going with a photo of yours truly. Torn over what to wear and am thinking something shiny OR something in camouflage. The photos do need to look both inclusive and sexy.

After the photo shoot I'm off to my date with Reive. If memory serves me correctly, he's even cooking me lunch. We are the Founders of BIO aka Vancouver Dungeon. It was myself who tracked down Reive and together we formed & started BIO way back in July of 2000, oh how times have changed. Well since I left to start to start Libido Events in late 2003, thankfully.

Yes it's true, I've been creating sex-positive culture for many years and deeply involved in Vancouvers rich sex history.

With a $500 Mac gift certificate in my hot little hands and no knowledge of cosmetics, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should make sure I purchase for myself? I know some women have the hots for their MAC make-up, but me, I just want stuff on my face that looks like its supposed to be there, and not like war paint!

I just finished spending $700 on brand new silicone toys for the Taboo show which is next week. New toys to compliment the four classes that they have me teaching again this year, lucky me. Gags, strap-on's, butt plugs and dildoes. Spending someone elses money on sex toys is way to much fun and I still a few hundred more dollars left to rid myself of.

Tickle Me Elmo story

After reading this joke to my 13 year old daughter and watching her knee slap herself while laughing I asked her if she wanted me to email her the text. She looked at me bewildered, before I realized the answer myself.

None of her friends in her social circle could she share such a joke with, so it's kept between us, and now you...

A woman was hired to the factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys - the famous toy from a couple of years back that laughs when you tickle it under the arms.

On her second day the foreman complained to the personnel manager that the new hire was incredibly slow and was backing up the entire line.

Deciding to check for himself, the personnel manager and the foreman went down to the factory floor. Sure enough, the line was so backed up that there were Tickle Me Elmos all over the factory floor, and the newly hired woman was at the end of the line surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmos. On her bench the personnel manager noticed she had a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles.

The two men watched in amazement as she meticulously cut a little piece of fabric, wrapped it around two marbles and began to sew the little package between Elmo's legs.

The personnel manager burst into laughter, and approached the woman. "I'm sorry," he said, barely able to keep a straight face, "but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday. Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles."

on being spoiled

I love being spoiled and I was indulged in every way this woman could have imagined the other evening...

After lingering in the tub till my skin was smooth as a water worn stone, I took my time trying on various gowns and dresses till just the perfect one clung to my form.

My date phones, he is 5 minutes away by car and precisely on time. I slide my hands in soft red leather gloves, walk through a spritz of perfume after putting a drop dead center between my breasts and walk out my door, down the stairs and to him.

As his car approaches, I smile. He climbs out immaculately dressed in a dark suit and proceeds to greet me all the while complimenting my beauty. As he opens the car for me and helps me in to the front seat, I feel very special.

A dozen long stem white roses are laid in my arms. How beautiful. What a nice start to a night out.

We drive for a short while talking before we're parked and walking into the Queen Elizabeth Theater. We have a drink at the bar preshow together while we scope out cute chicks and elegantly dressed women of distinction and then we are seated.

The Ballet and it's performance of the Nutcraker and we had perfect viewing seats in the 6th row what a Christmas delight!

The show was mesmerizing considering I was not at all familiar with the story aside from my date G sending me a URL link to the history of the story so I'd know something before hand.

After the ballet, we headed off for dinner just a couple of blocks away. Reservations and our waiter awaited us as we headed into Vancouvers swanky and notorious Gotham restaurant.

All I can for myself is that I felt so guilty leaving some of that delicious steak behind on my plate, but after a large portion of lobster accompanied it and jumbo shrimp cocktail to start, I was most certainly full.

Conversation with my date was engaging, easy and stimulating...we spoke for awhile. I needed time to sit and digest the meal and the experience of the ballet.

Driving home was slow and as we kissed good-night I felt so grateful for my polyamory and all that it affords me. Life is incredible and G was as always a gentleman.

G sweetly emailed me when he arrived home a quick note to sleep well and phoned me the next day to thank me for accompanying him on our night out together.

Did I mention that I love being spoiled? Well, it's true, I do.

shedding responsibilities

A couple of short hours ago, I resigned from the Board of Directors for LLC.

I'm already feeling lighter and ready to bring in the New Year with less on my plate and demanding my attention.

Goddess knows there's so little of me to go around as it is.

I'm simplifying my world right now for what the new year will be bringing forth.

Saddened at the resignation but accepting it as a necessary move forward in my journey.
