Postsecret.com every Sunday!
Life is very busy and I’m not sure how much I’ll get a chance to write. This is truthfully one of my favorite blogs to write because it’s just the one where I get to sit down and say ” blah “. What comes out comes out.
Today we officially became the marketing department for FetLife.com, which is exciting! Marky is really the genius at it. I talk to people. I’m good at networking. He’s good at actually making the deals in the dunes. Between the two of us we’re a great team. We think in such different ways that what seems obvious to me wasn’t to him and vice-versa. You can advertise through FetLife.com by contacting me (catalina@fetlife.com) or Mark (mark@fetlife.com).
Also big announcement today from Lochai. He was offered and has accepted the position at Kink.com as the new webmaster/director of Hogtied.com. He recently went out there (to San Francisco) and did a shoot. You can watch it here. I am fortunate enough to have seen it already and I’m telling you - I adored Lochai before, but now I adore Lochai. What a yummy scene. That’s all I’m saying about it. You have to see for yourself!
Another crazy announcement in my circle: Audacia Ray is no longer writing The Naked City. I know?! What the hell are they thinking? Sometimes I wonder.
In other news - I received copies of Rachel Kramer Bussel’s books Spanked!, Tasting Her, and Tasting Him. The thing is, I think that Marky is supposed to review Tasting Her and I was to review Tasting Him, but I like both books! Being bisexual means I get to review both :) I need to get to work on reviews though, because I have a few books and movies that I need to give my opinion on - I know my opinion influences the greater society as a whole, and without it you will be paralyzed - do I buy the book or not?! What about this dildo?! What does Catalina Say?!
I can’t remember if I already mentioned this, but I’m writing now for Trufetish.com and I think this month I’m going to write about polyamory, feeding off of the two articles that are already there. I’ve been on both sides of the pond, as a couple with a girlfriend or a boyfriend and also as the girlfriend of a couple. It’s also a topic that I’ve been discussing a lot lately with close friends.
I am also writing now on The Femmes Guide. It’s an interesting thing, the Femme’s guide, “a sex-positive femme queer collaborative blog”. It was brought up the other day by the editor of the blog that we aren’t a very diverse group - that aside from one of us (me) we are all “white, fat, femmes with advanced educations.” This brings up the issue of me being an ex-fat femme. I’ve been looking for a place to write about this phenemona - the loss of an entire human being (130 lbs. so far) and how the rules have changed. The game is different. I am not quite sure how to navigate through society in this new role. I don’t want to write too much about it here yet, or else why would you bother to go there to read it, but I think it will turn into a nice article.
Well, that about covers everything I can come up with at 4 am. I’ll be back in a few hours, at it again…

“Curves” by Lochai
Browsing his most recent show, you get the feeling few people enjoy their job as much as photographer Lochai.
His Beach Bound exhibit at the World Erotic Art Museum (1205 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach) is a study in Lochai’s various fetishes. While front and center is the theme of women in bondage — hence the show’s title — the photographer’s NC-17 tastes clearly run the gamut: the images include a nun in a leather gas mask, a naked woman perched above a toilet, and an androgynous figure in a full-body rubber suit, lying in a bathtub being pummeled by running water from the spout above.
But as unlikely as it sounds, the images aren’t necessarily shocking — nor does that seem to be Lochai’s intent. And instead of the violence you might expect from a portfolio of bondage photos, there’s a playfulness instead. In images that might otherwise invoke terror — for instance, the pair that shows a woman left bound by a hotel bed, or in an eerily domestic living room — the subjects gaze with a mix of mockery and intrigue at the camera.
As to whether you should go to this show, it’s fetishism — either it gets your attention or it doesn’t. If you’re a regular reader of “Savage Love,” you’ll probably find this exhibit, at the least, entertaining. If you’ve ever protested a gay Teletubby, on the other hand, you should probably save your cash for Miami Spice.
If you do go, be sure to wander around the rest of the museum, which is surprisingly expansive for a place that’s very missable from the outside. They’ve got it all here, with perverse pieces from all over the world, ranging from the contemporary (an 8-foot golden penis statue) to the ancient (Chinese jade dildoes). You won’t look at a lamppost, or a bald guy, the same way for the rest of the day.

I am overwhelmed with emotion and at a loss for words at the outpouring of support that people in our community have shown our family by donating prizes for the raffle, buying tickets, cross posting to spread the word, and the kind words that have gotten us through a very difficult time. We are proud to say that our personal need has been met and good (us, the sinners) triumphs over evil (them, the morally superior). To feed off of Graydancer’s post, we have proven that “a community proving that a community of pervs cares more about her education than an administration full of assholes.”
This means that instead of being my personal mission to fight for my daughter, I am on a bigger mission for the greater cause. I recognize that I am not the only person going through this battle. In fact, it’s a series of small battles that are all a part of a greater war on personal freedom, often with children in the crossfire.
This shouldn’t happen, but if you’re living an alternative lifestyle, it very well could happen to you. The only way to combat it is to put on the armor, link up arm-in-arm, and take them on as a commUNITY. That is exactly what I’ve seen in the last few days and I think we can do more!
The raffle continues, as it is scheduled to end on Sunday (8/17/08) at 10pm, but from this point forward, all proceeds will be going to the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom as a contribution from the community that has stood together and won this battle. This is our way of supporting the war that has been waged in the land of the free against personal and sexual freedom. At the end of the year, the refunded monies will also be donated on behalf of this community.
The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom is a national organization committed to creating a political, legal, and social environment in the United States that advances equal rights of consenting adults who practice forms of alternative sexual expression. NCSF is primarily focused on the rights of consenting adults in the SM-leather-fetish, swing, and polyamory communities, who often face discrimination because of their sexual expression.
My deepest gratitude to those who have supported and continue to support this cause. I have never felt such a sense of community in my entire life. So here is the current prize list for the new official National Coalition for Sexual Freedom raffle. Check back, as we seem to be adding prizes daily.
From Lochai there are three 5×7 museum signed prints from his recent exhibit at the World Erotic Art Museum, two of them are not only museum signed prints, but are also very limited editions.
Alley Bound and Curves are a limited edition of 10 museum signed prints. If you win, you will receive either 6/10 or 7/10. Beach Bound is Lochai’s iconic World’s Most Erotic Photograph winning piece, and is a signed museum print. (Sold normally at $75/print)
Ellie Lumpesse has donated three books:
The Straight Girl’s Guide to Sleeping With Chicks by Jen Sincero
Aqua Erotica by Mary Anne Mohanraj
The Ultimate Guide to Fellatio by Violet Blue
Ellie is also offering:
a 30-minute private phone session (that can include her amazingly sexy man) if you win.
Sam donated:
custom, hand made jewelry (a necklace and earring set) to a runner up. “It’s not a kinky prize, but pretty,” she said. Pretty indeed! Take a look: http://quem98.livejournal.com/306470.html
Thursday and D donated:
a signed 8×10 print of any one of their photographs
a copy of the book, The Mammoth Book of Illustrated Erotic Women.
And Thursday has also offered:
one of her sexy (orgasmic) voicemails to a lucky winner. Let me tell you, that is one hot prize.
The writer of Between My Sheets offered:
A brand new, still in the package, never been used Silver Bullet Vibe.
And just now I heard from my Naughty Secretary who offered:
Her services as a graphic designer. There are two separate prizes - each being two hours of graphic design time (normally charged at $120/hr). In addition to participating in this raffle, she is doing her own auction to raise money. She is sponsoring a silent auction of one of her paintings on her web page.
Edward, from Exjinn.net, the company that hosts all of our blogs and provides us without outstanding support and service, has offered:
A 50 gig hosting plan from Exjinn.net with 1-year of service.
Essin’ Em:
just donated a copy of the book, Wetter, with her story signed personally for you. As if that weren’t generous enough, she has also offered an 8×10 print!
Sabrina Fox - does the name ring a bell?
Sabrina Fox, as in the redhead hot as fuck bondage and fetish model, Sabrina Fox, was chatting with me today and mentioned that she has a few pairs of latex panties that she recently wore for a photoshoot that would offer as prizes. Latex panties worn by Sabrina Fox, anyone? Oh wait until I tell W about this when she is older.
Jeff Mach commented: (THANK YOU, JEFF!) [This is one of those prizes that I would like to know if you would like to be entered to win. If you're not in the area and can't use the tickets, then they would do you no good, but if you are in that area, then it's a great prize!]
I am running a New Year’s Eve fetish event in New Jersey at the end of this year (on NYE itself). I’ll offer a ticket (that is, admission for two people, including gourmet meal and champagne)
and
I run the Wicked Winter Renaissance Faire, now entering its fourth year, every February - again, in Jersey. We’re going to three days this year, and tickets for all three days would usually be at $40; I can donate two pairs of those, as well.
I feel like George from “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Graydancer, who posted a very insightful post about the society that we live in, just twittered me (it sounds dirtier than it is) and said:
I didn’t realize you were adding prizes. Throw in an audiobook version of my novel, “Nawashi“.
Rose Fox offered a very generous and naughty prize — a very good combination for this crowd!:
I used to review DVDs for AVN, and I’m still on Vivid’s mailing list, so now I have a closet full of unopened Vivid porn DVDs. I’ve been trying to figure out how to donate them someplace and would be delighted to offer them for your cause.
There are too many to catalog, so perhaps 10 “grab bags” of ten DVD’s? I’d do my best to include a varied selection so that the winner is fairly likely to get at least a few titles that suit their tastes.
(Just a note on this: because of the laws regarding the selling of pornography, the winners would need to submit a copy of their ID to Rose in order for her to be able to send them to you.)
Beautiful Rebecca has offered:
an original piece of sensual art from the artist. It was scheduled for a gallery show next year but we would much rather have it go to your cause as it hit home. It is 3×4 metal with an object representing a uterus called, “Oikos Cella”.
Alternatively, for those who win, but don’t feel that this art is right for their home, she is an interior designer and has offered to do a consultation for a room re-do. The details are kind of extensive, so I’ll discuss it with the winner personally.
Ms. Nikki Nefarious and AlteredAperture.com) has donated prints and a rope kit:
Collette for TABU Magazine 8 x 12
Jamie in Latex 8 x 12
Girl’s Best Friend 8 x 12
Scream 8 x 10
GarGirl Bound 8 x 10
The Enforcer 8 x 10
Sarah Sealed 8 x 10
Red Hood 8 x 10
and then A Starter Rope Package (4-pack of multi-colored ropes in different lengths and hemp rope cuffs)
Lily, who calls herself Lily (the rope ho) in her comment has donated
3 x 30ft hand-dyed, processed 6mm hemp kit
Radical Vixen, who most of you know as the editor of the weekly sex blog digest, Sugasm, is a very active political advocate. She has offered two books for the raffle:
She’s on Top: Erotic Stories of Female Dominance and Male Submission
Sex and Bacon: Why I Love Things That Are Very, Very Bad For Me
Thank you, so much! I cannot tell you how moved I am by the random kindness of the community. Lochai’s the one who started the commUNITY concept, but I get it better than ever now.
I’m officially re-launching the “Catalina’s Emergency Tuition Fund Raffle” as the “The Battle Is Won, But the War is Not Over” raffle with all remaining proceeds from this point forward going to NCSF.
Tickets are $10.00 each, you can buy as many as you’d like (if you’d like to donate $50.00, for example, I’ll enter your name 5 times). You are not obligated to buy a virtual ticket. You can also just donate to a very worthy cause at any amount.
I really will write down names and put them in a hat, and my daughter can pick the winners. At this point, she is well-aware of what is going on. We’ll choose the winners on August 17th at 10 pm. You will be notified by 10:30 pm by email. Heck, we’ll even try to find someone to film it and show it to you all :)

Buy A Raffle Ticket To Win A Limited, Edition, Museum Signed Print From Lochai
I’ve never discussed this on my blog before, but recent developments have prompted me to discuss the reason why I’m no longer a teacher. Being Catalina isn’t always a good thing. I separated early this year with my school as a peaceful way to avoid a public scandal that would ultimately affect my teenage daughter, who attended said school.
Part of my agreement I cannot legally discuss - specifically the reasons and terms of my separation - but use your imaginations. I can say that I agreed to leave quietly and peacefully under the condition that my (straight-a’s, honors courses, award-winning, athlete, without a discipline record) child be allowed to attend her last year of middle school just as if I had resigned at the end of the year. Let me spell this out for you. Faculty receive a substantial tuition discount. I pay 10% of the tuition. This roughly amounts to $1,100. After leaving, all faculty are offered one more year for their children at the faculty tuition discount as a way to avoid disrupting their children’s lives too much.
A few days ago the head of my former school called me to tell me that had rescinded his offer and that she was no longer welcome to attend. In the same phone conversation, he changed his mind and decided to honor our agreement. Well, kind of. I came in with the tuition and they refused to accept my payment.
Later I received an email that stated that on top of the faculty tuition, I am also expected to pay student fees, which are not covered under the faculty discount. Okay, so throw in another $900. I can come up with that, even if it means the car payment doesn’t get paid.
The straw that broke this camel’s back? The additional $1,000 expense account that is being demanded by the 18th of August to cover her lunch account (which was roughly $750 last year) and field trip expenses (which are roughly $250). I requested that she not be allowed to charge a lunch in the cafeteria and that she will bring her lunch, which is an option available to (other) parents, to have this fee waived. The field trip charges, I can’t really object to, that seems fair, so mental tab up to $2,200.
I’ve just been informed that the school is unwilling to waive the expense account fee for her lunch account and demands the entire amount be paid. If it is unused it will be refunded to me at the end of the year. Nice of them to at least offer that. This brings up my new grand total to $3,200 in 8 days.
I went from having her tuition paid to being a mile away.
I have never been as upset as I am right now. For a “Christian” educator to use a child as a pawn in a moral battle against me, and what I represent, is unethical - it’s beyond unethical - it’s reprehensible.
So I’ve played all of my cards, my hands are tied. He wins right now. Because I have been judged a whore, my child loses.
I refuse to allow that to happen. For the first time ever, I am asking my readers to help me. I’ve asked my readers to support the arts (artists, photographers, and other bloggers) but never asked for financial support on my blogs for myself or my family. Today that changes because my child is involved. Today I ask for your support for my daughter’s education and future.
Similar to the project I did for Lochai, I am asking for donations towards my daughter’s education fund. I spoke to Lochai this afternoon, and he has offered to donate three 5×7 museum signed prints from his recent exhibit at the World Erotic Art Museum, two of them are not only museum signed prints, but are also very limited editions.
Alley Bound and Curves are a limited edition of 10 museum signed prints. If you win, you will receive either 6/10 or 7/10. Beach Bound is Lochai’s iconic World’s Most Erotic Photograph winning piece, and is a signed museum print. (Sold normally at $75/print)
On top of Lochai’s unbelievably generous offer, several people have contacted me since posting this and asked to donate items to be raffled off as well. Now, from Ellie Lumpesse we have three books:
The Straight Girl’s Guide to Sleeping With Chicks by Jen Sincero
Aqua Erotica by Mary Anne Mohanraj
The Ultimate Guide to Fellatio by Violet Blue
Ellie is also offering a 30-minute private phone session (that can include her amazingly sexy man) if you win.
And one of Janice’s friends left a comment in my blog that she would donate custom, hand made jewelry (a necklace and earring set) to a runner up.
“It’s not a kinky prize, but pretty,” she said. Pretty indeed! Take a look: http://quem98.livejournal.com/306470.html
Thursday and D have also offered a signed 8×10 print of any one of their photographs and a copy of the book, The Mammoth Book of Illustrated Erotic Women. And Thursday has also offered one of her sexy (orgasmic) voicemails to a lucky winner. Let me tell you, that is one hot prize.
Then I got an email from a total stranger, the writer of Between My Sheets, who offered:
A brand new, still in the package, never been used Silver Bullet Vibe.
And just now I heard from my Naughty Secretary who offered:
Her services as a graphic designer and artist. She is looking into which painting(s) she is going to donate, but she has committed to two separate prizes - each being two hours of graphic design time (normally charged at $120/hr).
Edward, from Exjinn.net, the company that hosts all of our blogs and provides us without outstanding support and service, has offered:
A 50 gig hosting plan from Exjinn.net with 1-year of service.
Thank you, so much! I cannot tell you how moved I am by the random kindness of the community. Lochai’s the one who started the commUNITY concept, but I get it better than ever now.
Essin’ Em, the pansexual feminist sexpert on her way up, just donated a copy of the book, Wetter, with her story signed personally for you. As if that weren’t generous enough, she has also offered an 8×10 print!
Sabrina Fox - does the name ring a bell?
Sabrina Fox, as in the redhead hot as fuck bondage and fetish model, Sabrina Fox, was chatting with me today and mentioned that she has a few pairs of latex panties that she recently wore for a photoshoot that would offer as prizes. Latex panties worn by Sabrina Fox, anyone? Oh wait until I tell W about this when she is older.
Jeff Mach commented: (THANK YOU, JEFF!)
Prize donations, a few: - I am running a New Year’s Eve fetish event in New Jersey at the end of this year (on NYE itself). Tickets are probably going to be something along the lines of $250 per couple - we were actually finalizing that this week. I’ll offer a ticket (that is, admission for two people, including gourmet meal and champagne) for the raffle, if you’d like.
and
I run the Wicked Winter Renaissance Faire, now entering its fourth year, every February - again, in Jersey. We’re going to three days this year, and tickets for all three days would usually be at $40; I can donate two pairs of those, as well, if it will assist you.
I feel like George from “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Graydancer, who posted a very insightful post about the society that we live in, just twittered me (it sounds dirtier than it is) and said:
I didn’t realize you were adding prizes. Throw in an audiobook version of my novel, “Nawashi“.
Thanks, Graydancer! I appreciate it! I didn’t know I was going to add prizes either, until people started offering. The outpouring of support in the various ways people have shown it is very moving. Some people can afford to show their support by purchasing a ticket, some people are supporting us by crossposting, some are offering prizes, some are doing all of the above and then some. I even consider it supportive just to see comments from people who happened upon it and have shown emotional support.
In the comments this morning, from a total stranger, Rose Fox, was this offer, which is generous and naughty — a very good combination for this crowd!:
I’m here via the person who donated the jewelry. I used to review DVDs for AVN, and I’m still on Vivid’s mailing list, so now I have a closet full of unopened Vivid porn DVDs. I’ve been trying to figure out how to donate them someplace and would be delighted to offer them for your cause.
There are too many to catalog, so perhaps 10 “grab bags” of ten DVD’s? I’d do my best to include a varied selection so that the winner is fairly likely to get at least a few titles that suit their tastes.
Thank you, Rose — I don’t know anybody, personally, who would turn down a handful of DVD’s. And you’re really giving away 10 prizes, not just one, so thank you x 10! You’re right, there’s got to be something in there that turns that key in the lock. (Just a note on this: because of the laws regarding the selling of pornography, the winners would need to submit a copy of their ID to Rose in order for her to be able to send them to you.)
Also in the comments this morning was a message from Beautiful Rebecca offering a piece of original sensual art:
I have an original piece of sensual art from the artist I live with I would like to donate. It was scheduled for a gallery show next year but we would much rather have it go to your cause as it hit home.
The List Keeps Growing!
Please read this post on CatalinaLoves.com
to see the most recent list. Good stuff! I’m overwhelmed by the contributions people are making to make this raffle a big success.
I’m officially launching the “Catalina’s Emergency Tuition Fund Raffle”, here is the link to buy your virtual ticket. Tickets are $10.00 each, you can buy as many as you’d like (if you’d like to donate $50.00, for example, I’ll enter your name 5 times). I really will write down names and put them in a hat, and my daughter can pick the winners (of course I’ll come up with some vanilla reason why she’s doing it). We’ll choose the winners on August 17th at 10 pm. You will be notified by 10:15 pm.
August 7th, 2008 — Advice, Lochai, Pro Photo Tours, Recommendations, Updates, Websites

Photography by David Lawrence
If you recall, I posted on Catalina Says a while back the Pro Photo Tours had announced their plans to tour the country, offering their unique style of photographic workshops. They take the advanced amateur and working professional photographer through every step of a shoot, from hair and make-up to lighting to working with models to shooting and post-production. The result of the workshop will be a fine art coffee table book that represents the participants’ body of work.
You already know Lochai, because he’s all I seem to talk about some days, but maybe you don’t know Bobby Knight as well… though I bet you’ve seen his work all over! Bobby Knight is a successful commercial & stock photographer and cinematographer who currently has over 75,000 images and 350 hours of visual stock content in circulation in the past eight years. His enjoyment in creating avant-garde media is apparent in his successes and cutting edge style. He has a creative mind that likes to push boundaries not only in media production using technology whenever possible to give his client that edge they seek. His work is, edgy, sometimes erotic and different than the norm. You can find his work from cell phones to major publications (AVP, Revolver, Chopper, AVN), the internet, and television.
This weekend (August 8-10) is the first weekend you have a chance to work with Bobby Knight of Knight Digital Photography and Lochai (yes, that Lochai!).
Because of technical difficulties (grrrrrrrrrrr code!) they were not able to register participants earlier and still have available openings. If you have the weekend free and you can be in Tampa, Catalina Says Do It! Contact Bobby Knight or Lochai directly to register for this weekend, to avoid said technical difficulties with the website.
Go to the ProPhotoTours.com website for more information and also to check out other dates and cities where you can work with these Master Photographers!

Today's Lolcat Image is Specially Selected for The Dude
Yet another late night. It’s 5:21 am. I always like to keep track of what time I begin so I can see just how long I spend pondering my day. I mean I never sit here with a plan, I just start writing and then think about what I’ve been doing. See? It’s 5:32 am now and I just spent 11 minutes chatting with The Dude. I think I could be a more efficient job if it weren’t for Gchat because now it’s 5:39 am.
I spent almost all of my day doing admin stuff on BestSexBloggers.com, which is what I expected to happen on Day 2. I think we’re getting our kinks worked out. It’s coming together nicely. We are lucky that the best of the best continue to join us, writers and photographers. It’s very exciting to see my name there with theirs.
I had a really nice chat on the phone with Radical Vixen. It was, in a word, delightful.
Then I had a nice little text interchange with D.
Enjoyed a very sexy little Gchat with Mr. F, discussing our upcoming plans for a very kinky weekend. If it had worked out that I was in his neighborhood at the right time, we could have gotten together today, but… life.
While I was running errands today, Lochai called. So I’m sitting at my Cookie Friend’s house and my phone is ringing and I’m frantically trying to answer it, which is I think the first time that CF has seen me really freak out over a phone call. I’m a pretty cool Cat(alina). So out of the blue my phone is glitched, stuck, nothing I could do - couldn’t silence it, answer it, ignore it - nothing but sit and watch as Lochai’s name flickered on the screen. So I restarted my phone and called back and got voicemail. Aargh! So as I’m on the final stretch home, my phone rang again and this time it worked! As it turned out, he had just called to say Thank You. Just hearing him say it was all I needed. It means the world to me that I genuinely helped him.
I “met” Madison Young via email and I’m going to interview her and also she is sending me some DVD’s to review! I’m way excited for that! (Thanks for the introduction, Lochai!)
Lelo.com contacted me and asked me to review one of their products. I chose the Luna Beads. It seems kind of fun to have something like that to play with - and honestly, I love their vibrators, but I had to try this.
I made Twitter friends a while back with Rachel Kramer Bussel - she is the editor of Dirty Girls - the book I’m writing up for Seal Press on CatalinaLoves.com. I sent her a twit today and asked her if she’d do a short Q&A with me via email for the review and she said, “Sure!” So score one for Twitter!
And I think that pretty much brings us up to date. It’s now 6:11 am. I have to add an image, tag, and categorize my post. Let’s see how I do…
Oh, by the way - you can now email me at Catalina@BestSexBloggers.com, which is kind of cool.
Oh, and The Dude emailed a version of Coldplay’s “Swallowed In The Sea” that was done by an A Capella group that he listened to when he was in college.
Alright, it’s 6:20 am and I’m clicking publish. I think I should focus more.

Bestsexbloggers.com is officially open for business, I have hung my shingle outside the door and rung the bell. The result is already exciting - sex bloggers and writers from all genres, styles, and every label imaginable combined with the images of the best erotic photographers have made for a very neato place to visit. I’m already hooked, and it’s my blog! Kind of. I mean, I started it and made it, but the result is not the result of my efforts, but the community.
I got the idea for a community blog from Lochai, who introduced me to the notion of commUNITY. We’re not just writing for our readers now, we’re writing for each other - networked tightly - forming the perfect (almost perfect) group of work by intertwining each individual’s. I think it’s nearly orgasmic.
Speaking of orgasmic. A few things worth noting - in case you missed Lochai’s comment on a previous post, it said:
Catalina,
You are by far the most beautiful, wonderful woman in the world (after my wife that is)! This show would be a fraction of what it is if not for you and your er….. talents.
Luv Ya!
L-
Also worth noting is that I called D earlier and masturbated and came for him on his voicemail so he can listen to it over and over again. Soon thereafter I got a call from Thursday, who was clearly on her way to her own orgasm, so while I listened to them fucking, MDS stripped my clothes off of me and threw me on the bed and had his way with me. I came three times, between his cock and his tongue, on the phone, as I listened to D and Thursday getting off together. Um, yum.
When it rains, it pours, right? Here it’s stormy! Kinkerbelle is coming for a visit in a few weeks and we have some good plans! They include me (the star!), Kinkerbelle, MDS, Mr. F, and Altered Aperture - and if we can talk her into it, we’re going to throw Miss Ellie Lumpesse into the middle of it all! (Cross your fingers)
And it’s a good thing I’m on the East Coast or I’d probably already be in the middle of JC and his girl.
That about cover’s the day’s kinky activities. I’m going to go work on the interview I did with Claire Adams. Oh, that got your attention, did it? Yep, keep an eye out and you can read for yourself what she had to say.
Congratulations, Lochai, on a very successful opening night reception at the WEAM! Of course, you were a hit. You’re LOCHAI!! I’m not the *only* one who adores you!

I am one of those rare lucky people who have to work 7 days a week. Not because I work for the man, but because I work for myself. Since I work pretty much every day, and pretty much all day every day, it’s a good thing that my definition of work includes chatting with Sabrina Fox, Priapus, and Lochai and writing interviews for Claire Adams, Sgt. Major, and Bobby Knight (ProPhotoTours.com).
Today is Lochai’s opening night at the WEAM. It’s pretty exciting, and I wish I could be there to see it for myself. I still can’t believe I am a genuine part of making that happen. The best I can hope for is that he will call me when he gets home, even if it’s late, and tell me all about it. I lucked out and got to talk with both Lochai and his amazing bride, Janice. She’s so amazing, I can’t help but adore her every bit as much as I do him.
I spent the majority of my day working on the Week in Kink and The Good Things List. Both were late, but I noticed that the world did not fall apart. I’ll take note of that the next time I have terrible anxiety about not getting them done on time. I openly kissed Graydancer’s ass in The Good Things List, because it was a deal we made on Twitter to get him on board with the bestsexbloggers.com project. This wasn’t exactly our deal, just that I was willing to kiss his ass to make it happen, and this is the only way I know how from a distance.
I didn’t work all that much this weekend, actually - it was one of the first weekends I truly set out to socialize. Not all of my plans worked out. Friday I had a new workout - sprints with abs and triceps. The Dude has decided that it’s time for me to step it up and … I can’t really disagree. I’ve been running, but now it’s time for toning. I came home from an intense workout and managed to go out for wine and sushi with M on Friday night and somehow three glasses of wine fucked me up. Must have been because I was so tired. I don’t know. We normally eat out every Friday night, but he’s training for the NY Marathon and I’m still trying to lose weight, so sushi and liquid calories seemed more appropriate. He had a bad week and so W baked a cake or him — I know, seems counter intuitive to give a marathon runner in training a cake, but he had to run 14 miles this weekend and the carb/sugar load helped him make it through and it cheered him up, so it served it’s purpose doubly.
Saturday I was all set to go out with The Dude for an evening of inebriation, his not mine. He flaked out on me. It worked out in my favor. I fell asleep at something like 6 pm and didn’t wake up until about 11 pm, when I sat up long enough to say goodnight to Marky and went back to sleep until 9 am today. Apparently I needed a good night’s sleep.
Now here we are again, the middle of the night - time for me to wrap it up and go to bed. I’m frustrated as hell because I can’t get images on the static pages on bestsexbloggers.com and it better not be a template issue. If it is, I’m lucky that JC will come to my rescue and fix it.
No graceful way out of this blog post - I’m just tired and it’s time to end. Goodnight, people… Oh and FetLife rocks. It is 3:46 am. Buenas noches.
August 3rd, 2008 — Blogs, Lochai, Recommendations, The Week In Kink

The weeks sexiest, kinkiest, hottest, blog posts, BDSM scenes, NSFW pics, HNTs, and so much more! That’s The Week in Kink. Catalina chooses her favorite blog posts from her blogs and her friends’ blogs and put them here for you kinky people to read. The Week in Kink is different than The Sugasm because they are all chosen by the editor rather than submitted by the writers. You should check out The Sugasm if you enjoy a weekly digest of the best sex blog posts. It comes out on a different day and generally features different posts than those I’ve chosen. Tell Vixen I sent you :)
And now, without further adieu, I present This Week’s Sexiest Blog Posts…
Well, that should keep you busy reading for a while. Sorry that this week’s edition of The Week in Kink is late. It’s because I was off having fun! (GASP) Yes, sometimes I get away from my desk and actually enter the 3-D world and socialize. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have anything good to write about! :) Enjoy Your Kinky Week!
The image above is by Lochai. Anybody who follows any of my blogs knows about my crush on Lochai and his wife. Check out Lochai’s page at Kirinawa.com and also look at the Lochai categories on Catalina Loves and Catalina Says for more about Lochai and his wonderfulness. Thank you, Lochai, for letting me use your images so freely. I am a very lucky girl.
