I love you, Marky! (Image from PostSecret.com)

I won’t be writing much yet.  I’m still trying to catch up from being in NYC for the weekend and I haven’t really stopped all day.  I need to go for a walk but it’s so fucking cold outside.  What the hell?  Tomorrow I have to go to the gym and go running, as in I will make time for it and do it.  I gained 5 lbs. in NY, and I don’t regret a single calorie of it, but I have to lose it and then some!  I ate like a pig - NYC Pizza at 3:00 am with the owners of Njoy, a hotdog wrapped in bacon and deep fried with avocado and sour cream and drinks in a secret bar with the owner of VibeReview.com, and lots and lots of brie with Tess.   Jamye was ridiculously nice and let me stay at her place which was just off the train and made it easy to hop, skip, and jump into Manhattan to meet up with Natt Nightly for brunch and shopping.   I ate chicken apple sausage, eggs, potatoes, a biscuit with butter, and a corndog and pink lemonade!  In retrospect, I should be grateful that I only gained 5 lbs.  Man!

I really regret not having enough time to even meet up with Dacia for drinks - by the time it could have happened I had just returned from the city and was freezing and exhausted and just couldn’t go back across to Manhattan.  I know, when last you heard I was going to be staying with her - but then I found out she had a roommate moving in and I didn’t want to add to her chaos and so I stayed with Jamye.  I am sad that we didn’t get to hang out on her couch and talk for hours — on my next visit!   I’m definitely returning.  I feel as though I’ve made lifelong friends and just begun to get to know others.  There is so much to do now.

I met so many amazing people.  I could just list them off, but I think I’ll savor each story for a different post.  I’d like to keep the feeling I had in NYC alive as long as possible.

Thank you, you know who you are, for making this the best trip ever!

So I’ve decided what to wear to the party, thanks to Nikki and her fantastic selection of kinky clothes!  I get to wear my favorite dress and corset — now to beg, borrow, or steal some hot shoes to go with it!  I already raided W’s closet and snagged all her clothes that I like.  It still shocks and amazes me when I wear her little clothes — one pair of jeans is a size 1 and the rest are size 2.  My original goal was to be a size 6, so I think I’ve exceeded my own expectations.  Yet, as far as my actual weight goal I have lost 140 lbs., I have 20 more lbs. to lose.  Maybe I’ll end up a size 0.

Today is all about wrapping up loose ends and packing.  I have to get a manicure today, can’t exactly go to NYC without that!  I’m a little nervous about the whole trip, mostly just because these are women I’ve admired since the very first words I wrote on my blog!  I think it will be a blast.

I really like traveling.  I’m one of those people who actually arrives at the airport two hours early so I can sit and observe people, work on my laptop, read a book, listen to my iPod… it’s an oddly soothing place to me.  I have always enjoyed airports for some reason, I love to go in the stupid little stores and look at all the ridiculous crap they try to sell.  As the survivor of a fatal helicopter crash, I figure my odds of crashing twice in my lifetime are pretty fucking low.  I feel like the lucky charm on the airplane. :-)

So back to packing.  Where is that strap on?

Another Great Postcard From PostSecret.com

My life is weird.  I’ll admit that.  I spend my days talking to latex retailers, adult baby diaper manufacturers, crossdresser clothing designers, fetish models, and sex writers.  That’s not normal.  It is fun, though!

I am so looking forward to tonight.  I’m meeting M for dinner and drinks.  Aside from that, there is some secret package there that I haven’t been able to guess all week - what comes in 4 boxes with a sum total of 70 lbs. that M would have ordered??  I hate suspense!  It will be great to get away for a few hours.  Next weekend I will be in NYC! That’s almost impossible to believe!!

Saturday I think I’m not doing anything, but Sunday I’m going for my weekly French toast with The Dude and then a very special evening with Mr. Johnson.  He also has something up his sleeve, and I’m curious what he’s up to!

Countdown to NYC: 6 days!  I leave on Thursday, the party is Friday, and then I’ll spend the rest of the weekend hanging out with my favorite New Yorkers.   Mostly I’m stressed because I don’t know what to wear!  What a dilemma.  I know this complaint may make some of you throw tomatoes at the screen, but all of my clothes are too big for me - I am wearing W’s size 1 jeans.  Marky says I have to stop losing weight, but I have 20 lbs. to go still!  I’ve lost an entire person - 140 lbs.  None of my corsets fit anymore, and I need to get a coat.  I hear that there are places where it’s cold in November.  Here in Charlotte it’s still in the 70’s most days, and I’m cold!

Have you bought your calendar yet?  If not, get on it!  If you ask me nice, I’ll arrange to get it signed by all 12 ladies for you ;-)  And now I’m off for a nice 3 mile run.

Whew!  What a day.  It started off with some asshat posting a comment on my HNT today that I look like a man.  Really?  I think sometimes people have no manners and/or their parents never taught them the Golden Rule.  Either way, I think mean people suck.  That’s okay - all the positive comments people left more than made up for it, John said I look hot, and Lochai said he liked the set.

I’m unbelievably excited to go to NYC next month.  Thanks to Mr. Johnson!!  I’ll be leaving Charlotte on Nov 13th and returning on Nov 16th to be in NYC for the Sex Blogger Calendar Launch Party.  You should pre-order your calendar, because I have a feeling they are going to sell out.   I’m giddy like a kid who finds out they are going to Disneyland.  I’ve never been to NYC before, so it’s an adventure in and of itself, and then to meet these amazing people - men and women - is over the top unbelievably cool.  Tess and Diva invited me to snuggle up between them in bed at the W one night, and I’m looking forward to that!!  Who wouldn’t?  Hot, sexy, and brainy = I’m in bloggerlove.  I do hope to get together with some other people while I’m there - I’ve talked to a few other people who aren’t involved in the calendar project that I’m going to make it a point to meet.  Expect at least a week’s worth of blogs and pictures from the adventure!  It’s just over a month away, it’s going to drive me insane!

Other things coming up I plan to attend:  Frolicon and Sex 2.0.   I would love to go to ShibariCon, but I just don’t see how it’s going to happen.  Frolicon is the weekend before Sex 2.0 and Sex 2.0 is the weekend of my wedding anniversary.  It won’t be the first time we can’t celebrate on the proper day - when I worked in a boarding school I was on duty the entire weekend of our second anniversary.  We’ll just celebrate another day.  Anybody else going?  It would be nice to connect.

Don’t forget to check out the Week In Kink - it just published on TheWeekInKink.com.  There are some new blogs in there, some really hot posts, and a lot of HNT (who doesn’t love HNT?!)  I bet you you’ll find something in there that tickles your fancy!  If you’d like to submit your favorite kinky post of the week (it doesn’t have to come from your blog, just something you liked, even) then please email me.  My email hasn’t changed since the beginning of time:  catalinaloves@gmail.com.

This has to be a short post - it’s been a long day and I’m tired!!  I’m thinking it’s time to get off and go to sleep.  I ran 3.5 miles today, which is the farthest I’ve ever run at once.  Tomorrow I’m going to run 3.6 miles.  I’m an overachiever - I set a goal and I always have to go past it.  Like this size 6 goal - I achieved it and now I want to be a size 4.  I swear to all the Gods that are reading sex blogs, I will be a size 4 when I hit NYC!  More yoga.  More running.  I have lost another 5 lbs., so I’m excited about those results.  The closer I get to my goal (119 lbs.,) the more difficult it is to lose one single pound!  When I reach 119, I will have lost 151 lbs. That’s fucking impressive! I have to say that it was really cool that one of the parents of a student I used to teach didn’t even recognize me.

It was a really good way to release some tension and stress and focus on the task at hand - my work for Fetlife.  I consider it my primary job more and more every day.  I don’t want to give up writing and doing promos, but Fetlife is clearly my primary job (buy an ad!)

I got a really neat note in my Fetlife.com inbox today from a (cute redheaded) guy who said, “…it was helpful to read your experiences as a bit of motivation, and to see that you DO look great after the weight loss.”  That’s kind of cool.  I’m glad to read that!  It motivates me even more, too.  Symbiosis.

Oh, if you’re curious, I uploaded new images to Fetlife.com - if you’re a member you can see them - a little preview from the nudes I shot with Nikki yesterday.   If you do join, please make friends and say hi.  I’m a really friendly person - don’t be scared :)

Night night - Chris Martin is going to serenade me to sleep with Lovers in Japan and Reign of Love.  If you still have not bought or downloaded Viva la Vida, then do it.  It is such an amazing album! (yawn)

One of my favorite students from years ago contacted me today - he’s in college now and he’s getting his life together, or at least trying to.  I love that kid.  He was one of “my” kids.  I worked in a boarding school, so the kids naturally gravitated towards the faculty homes where they felt comfortable, and that meant that Jack was at our house a lot!  It’s neat to see kids turn into adults.  I will miss that about teaching, though I won’t miss teaching.  He knew me at 270 lbs., so he saw my new pics and said, “You should be a model!” Funny kid - tomorrow I’m doing a set of art nudes with Nikki and Friday a wedding set with a new photographer.  So I guess he’s right!  I saw his pics and couldn’t believe that the kid I knew has turned into a man.  Weird.

Other interesting things: Violet Blue is joining the BestSexBloggers.com blog.  I’m pretty excited about that and owe it all to Lochai, who again has brought me closer yet into his circle.  I am very fortunate to have Lochai in my life, even if he is 3 time zones away!

Also of interest: Vladimir Putin is putting out a new Judo DVD.  I mention this because Vladimir Putin is on my list of Men I’d Like To Fuck.  Yes, I know he’s kind of evil.  But he’s also really powerful and that turns me on.  He did drop a couple of points in the ranks when he shot a tiger, but even that won’t stop me from wanting to fuck Vlad (and he said he only shot that perfect big kitty because he was protecting the camera crew).

I’m trying to get together an airline ticket to make it to the NYC Sex Blogger 2009 Calendar party on November 14th.  I don’t know how it’s going to happen, but I’m really trying to make it happen.  I want to hang out with my NYC Blogger friends!  I am planning to go to Frolicon in April, but that’s a ways off and the weekend after that is Sex 2.0 in DC.  I am planning to carpool with Ellie and Jay and with any luck, we’ll share a room ;-)

Well, it’s time for me to jump in the shower and put on my MILFtastic look.  W has a volleyball game today at her school and I plan to be there looking fabulous.

Special good wishes to my friends, The Urban Gypsy and The Urban Rogue, who are both dealing with issues far more serious than whether or not to wear the blue sandals or the high heels to the volleyball game.

It’s a great day.  I got to sleep in, I published Peter Acworth’s interview, I cross-posted the Twitterific Contest Winner’s review on BestSexBloggers.com, I sent a few emails, and I’m about to take care of some more of them.  I have this set as my primary goal for the day - deal with email.

I decided to make it a goal to attend Frolicon in the spring.  It’s set for April 9-12, 2009 and Atlanta isn’t that far away.  What could be better than hanging out with fellow kinksters over Easter? Is anybody else planning to attend?  We stopped by their table yesterday at the Fetish Fair Fleamarket and i was pretty excited to see that they used one of the images from Altered Aperture for their postcard promo. Mark is so amazing that he walked away having sold them an ad for Fetlife.

I got to meet Tara from KJCanes.com, with whom I’ve spoken several times for Fetlife advertising.  She was at the Fetish Fair Fleamarket yesterday.  It was nice to put a face to the canes.   If you ever want to get in touch with me about advertising on Fetlife.com, my email is catalina@fetlife.com.

I’ve been corset shopping online as a little diversion to working online.  I said that when I got to a size 6 that I would have a corset custom made and now I’m there.  Now, though, I think I won’t have one made until I’m a size 4, but that gives me time to shop now.  Do you have a favorite corset maker?  Seamstress?  Know anybody who does it as a home-based business?  I really want a custom corset!

I just occurred to me today that it’s almost October.  There are some important things going on in October.  My sister’s birthday is in October, and although she no longer talks to me, I’ll be thinking about her on her 40th birthday.  I also have two friends taking major tests - The Dude is taking GRE and Laurel is taking the LSAT, so good luck to both of them!  After Laurel finishes the LSAT she’s flying out to stay for a week with us. She used to live with us back in Eugene.  I’m so excited I can barely contain myself.  W loves her, too - she was an important part of W’s life back in Eugene.  She very much imprinted on Laurel and we’re hoping that she follows Laurel’s path and be a beautiful, compassionate, well-traveled, highly intelligent, and very cool woman.  I’m hoping to set her up with M while she’s here.  I truly think they should be together.

…back to the inbox.  I’m looking forward to hearing from my friend, Ms. Sex in Stilletos, who did her first Kink.com shoot on Friday for FuckingMachines.com.  It will be a really interesting narrative.

YAY!  Ellie is here!

Today was an interesting day.  It was supposed to go like this:  Fetish Fair Fleamarket, yoga with Susan and The Dude, and then home for an evening with or without Ellie and J, depending on whether or not they attend Purgatory tonight.  We figured it made sense for us to try to go on behalf of Quid Pro Quo, good PR for our own PR company.  Here’s how it went:  I drove to South Carolina to pick up W from a sleepover, canceled yoga with Susan and The Dude, went to the Fetish Flea Market and came home.  Ellie and J are still out and about and are thinking about going to Purgatory.  I know myself well enough to know that Purgatory isn’t my scene.

It was interesting that at the fetish event there was an entire workshop dedicated to a face-to-face meeting of people from a Fetlife.com group.  We didn’t even know that there was a Fetlife centered workshop.  We walked through the door, unsure we were in the right place, and introduced ourselves as being a part of Fetlife and sat down to listen to what they had to say.  It was neat to hear again and again how Fetlife has become a central part of their lives, a way to keep in touch on a daily basis with their family.  It was really quite touching.  I came home and told John all about it.  He couldn’t believe it, and then he received an email from someone who was at the workshop/meeting who had written to tell him how important Fetlife and how it has really meant a lot to them to have a place to feel at home.  Nice!  John, you are changing the world!

I found a few nice corsets at the fleamarket, but it was difficult to find my size.  Now WTF?! When I was a larger size I couldn’t find a nice corset that fit and now that I am small, I can’t find a corset that fits.  Today all the corsets were too big or the few I found that were 22″ were like $500.00.  If I’m going to invest that kind of money into a corset it’s going to be custom made for me.  Doesn’t it seem to you like someone should make a corset for me so that I can promote the fuck out of their corsetry business?  I would work for trade.  Hey you corset seamstresses - are you listening? :)

Cleis Press sent me Tristan Taormino’s new book, Opening Up, to review.  I have only heard good things about it and as a polyamorous soul married to a monoromantic, an open relationship can be a challenge - so not ony am I looking forward to a good read for the review, but also I am hoping to get something out of it personally.  Well, that’s where the best reviews come from, anyway - though a book can be good and still not really be appealing to you.

I dd hear from my NYC friends that they are all getting set for tomorrow’s shoot.  No alcohol, strict orders by the photographer will make for a less interesting evening, though if you put those 12 women in the same room, I don’t think it matters, the energy alone would be intoxicating!

Next week’s posts on Catalina Loves are going to be really good, if I do say so myself.  I have an interview with Kink.com CEO Peter Acworth, a very good toy review on Tuesday, Lochai starts his new job with Hogtied.com Monday, so there will be lots of Lochai news, there is an interview waiting for me to post from Sgt. Major, who is a Kink.com dom, but also owns his own site: BackdoorBondage.com.  I also have to write an interview for Madison Young, who sent me her new movie (w00t!) and hopefully Nikki will have some new images ready for me next week from our photoshoot this week.  That’s a lot of good stuff, and that’s off the top of my head, so set make sure you subscribe and get all the goodness that there is.

Alright, enough babble for now.  I swear upon all things holy that I will get through my email this weekend.  It’s become a huge priority at this point!

So I went to the new yoga class today and it was terribly disappointing.  I felt like I was in an hour long stretch class, very gentle yoga with a nap at the end.  There was no shakti in the room, no energy to go with it.  Just a sterile gym with a lady who knows some poses.  I’m sure she’s a certified yoga instructor, but I think that if a yoga instructor can’t do downward dog with her feet flat on the floor, she probably shouldn’t be instructing.  I am a yoga snob, so it seems.  Back to Power Basics Vinyasa hot yoga on Saturday with the nice vibe at Yoga One.  I love the challenge of it, how I have to push my body beyond where I thought I could go because my mind limited me.  To overcome mental obstacles in yoga manifests in every day life all the time.  On a positive note about today’s adventure out to the new gym - the facility itself is really nice and I got to run for 2 miles after the yoga class, so I do feel like I got the energy boost I needed.

I’m really into reading Andreas Troeger’s books and watching his DVDs.  Take a look at TechnologyArtist.com and click on Buy DVDs.  No, it won’t automatically debit your account a bajillion dollars, it will just take you to the two DVDs that I’m going to watch and review for my blog.  I just need kid-free focus time to watch them, they look intense!  Included in my little surprise package (Thanks!!) were Troeger’s two books.  Click on Books on the left and you’ll find Anti Biography and Which Ones Are The Terrorists?  WestBank.cam, which are both equally compelling, but require even more time and focus.  So expect to see more about those soon, but not next week soon.

I found this article, called Nine Cold, Hard Weight Loss Truths on Divine Caroline today.  I’ve been reading that site a lot lately - like any magazine, there are some things there that I just will probably never read, but today I read this and I thought I would share it with you.  One of the most common email questions I get to my inbox is How did you lose all that weight? and the fact is, I did what everybody in the whole world knows how to do - I ate less and I exercised with purpose and intensity.  Anyway, take a look at the cold, hard truth.  It’s worth reading again.

Well, back to work.  W is home from her game tonight and then I have to run across town for an errand and back and then I still need to write something for CatalinaLoves.com and my article for TruFetish.com is due tomorrow.  Not to mention that I should write something current for The Femmes Guide and it would be at good manners to comment on a few of my favorite blogs! Tomorrow W stays the night with a friend and we’re expecting Ellie for a visit.  She’s here for the Fetish Fair Fleamarket where she’ll be doing a demo.  I will also be there, just to wander about and see what’s good.  If you’re planning to go, I hope to see you there!

Oh random - a package just arrived in the mail from Madison Young with her movie, Perversions of Lesbian Lust (Volume 1).  I’m pretty excited about that - on the back cover is a still from the movie and I said to Marky, “Oh, it’s her infamous ’sex mouth’ that you love.” You have to know the exact look to know what I mean, but Mz Berlin comes close in this image.  Anyway, I am so hot for Madison Young I can’t stand it!  I know what I’ll be watching tonight!

Okay, so apparently the demands made for cleavage were met by the deadline and we were all blessed with Tess’ beautiful, soft, perfect boobs today.  In fact, you all must have bought more than the 10 calendars she was holding hostage, because she even did a pic with her Njoy Eleven between her boobs (and one sucking it!)  So whatever you did, do it again!

The 6 Degrees of Catalina list is being called HABO (instead of HARO), I see today in a message on Twitter, instead of Help A Reporter Out, I think it has become Help A Blogger Out.  Cool.  I like it.  It’s nice that it’s being twittered around and people are telling other people.  I have several things to put out on the list already, but I want to make it a semi-regular event rather than just sending a thousand emails a day to people.   It is very cool to see graphic designers and bloggers and photographers sign up!  It will be a project forever, I can’t imagine it ever being complete, but I like the way it is shaping up!  Send an email to me at catalinaloves@gmail.com if you want to be added to the list.  It’s really that simple.  Spread the word, twitter it about - the more the merrier.  Submit your requests for the first official HABO list launch!  And think about the crowd on the list - nothing is really too weird.

I’m dying to see the pictures from the shoot with Nikki yesterday.  It drives me nuts to know that there are pictures there and I can’t see them!  It is truly a disorder of some sort.  I spent part of the day cleaning my bedroom/office to get my mind off of it.

So I’m texting back and forth with The Dude trying to talk him into joining me for yoga on Friday - I want to go to the same class with the same instructor.  He has to play baseball or football or something like that in the morning so he asks, “Can I come all sweaty and dirty?” and a thousand thoughts raced through my mind at once before realizing he meant to yoga class. Looks like Susan will also be going.  WooHoo!

I’m going to try out a new yoga class tomorrow at 10 am.  This is different than hot yoga Saturday - there is a gym near my house that I’m hoping to join.  I would still go to hot yoga as a treat, the vibe there is nourishing, but it would be great to lose those last 21 lbs sooner than later!  I have a new goal, size 4, 119 lbs.  And no, Dude, I haven’t done my abs workout and I probably won’t unless someone is standing there making me do them.  I miss your sadistic ways!

I really need to work on The Good Things list and The Week in Kink.  The Good Things List I’m only doing on Catalina Says now, because it was just too much work the other way.  The Week In Kink I have opened up to submissions, so if something strikes you as especially kinkworthy, please send the link to me!  I’d like to mix it up a little bit.

Also, I thought I’d mention for those of you who prefer to order your intimates online, I found some amazing Cuban Stockings on Amazon.com.  It’s hard to find them in the average department store and some people just don’t feel comfortable at the local adult store.  Nothing suspect about ordering from Amazon.com!  If you are a little more daring, go to where Mz Berlin goes and Julie Simone go - try Magnolia Hosiery.  I have an obvious fetish for stockings, so I spend a lot of time looking around for them.

Well, back to work for me.  I have a lot to do in a short amount of time if I want to have sex before my poor husband, who gets up every day with the children, falls asleep at 11 pm.  Thank You, Marky…  I love you.

The Alpha-Bit in Mapleton, OR (Click the Pic)

The picture today is of C, who was a student of mine several years ago and has kept in touch.  He’s a college junior now and now knows me by my first name.  I don’t like it when students who are old enough that I would now consider fucking them call me Señora.  Makes me feel old.  I always said that my biggest impact in teaching wasn’t teaching Spanish, but planting radical ideas in the minds of my students - that they should travel and explore their world and question everything.  Imagine my surprise when C emailed me a couple of months ago and said, “Catalina, I’m in Eugene [Oregon] and so what should I do?” It turns out that he inherited a chunk of cash and was using part of it to travel and based on my influence, he ended up in Eugene.  How flattering! It was a piece of cake for me - I sent him across to Florence via Mapleton and then up the coast until crossing back over to Portland, check out the Gorge and Multnomah Falls, and head back down the I-5 corridor to Eugene.   I asked him to specifically stop and check out the Alpha-Bit in Mapleton.  You can’t miss it.  That’s all there is there.  The Alpha-Bit is the store/restaurant of the Alpha Farm.  You should check out both of those sites.  This is worth looking at, because you have to juxtapose this against the logger community in which this place exists and then realize that this is where I grew up!   I’m going to post more pictures that C sent from Oregon as the week goes on.

In the news today - I’m sore as hell from yoga yesterday and I love it!  I’m dying to go back for more.

I wrote a review for Amazon.com for Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica and then reposted it on CatalinaLoves.com.  I posted Marky’s review of The Moon Plug on BestSexBloggers.com.   Then I posted an interview Radical Vixen did with Sweat Shop Sissy, who was having trouble getting Wordpress to cooperate with him.  I talked to Lochai and posted something for him.  I’m waiting on some pictures from his iphone, but they are lost in the nowhereland.  If they find their way here, I’ll post them.

I tried out the new Whirl from Liberator last night.  Of course I’ve only used it once, so I can’t say for sure, but I’d say it’s a thumbs up.  It seems like a really good alternative to the Liberator Ramp if your budget is tight.  It did put my hips right up in the air in exactly the right place.  Marky and I both agree that we have to play around with it more and figure out all the ways in which we an use it, but our first encounter with it was divine.

I failed to mention it yesterday, all blissed out from yoga and such, but we got a package in the mail yesterday from Narration by D and Thursday’s Child.  It was filled with goodies for Marky and I, and also for the girls.  It was unbelievably considerate, kind, and thoughtful and they deserve a better thank you than this, but that will have to wait until I meet them in person!

M has been mostly out of touch this weekend.  His plans with A were all fucked up and he’s been in a mood.  I don’t blame him, I’d be pissed off, too, and my reaction would be the same - he bailed out on me Friday night to stay home and be in a funk, Saturday I didn’t hear from him at all, and today we emailed back and forth a bit and it’s back to a normal week tomorrow.  I don’t actually know if we’ll go out next week or not because of the Fetish Flea Market in Charlotte.

Ellie just confirmed with me today that she wants me to be the bottom in her demo.  I don’t even know what her demo is (phone sex, but what exactly am I going to do?) but I’m an adventurer, so I said Yes!  Anyway that happens on Saturday but Ellie and her man are coming to stay at our house and I’m not sure if they are coming on Friday or Saturday.  If they come on Friday, then I’ll take the opportunity to spend time with a friend who doesn’t live in Charlotte - since M lives here, he’ll be here.  Ellie will only be here for a short time. Okay, so I was just looking at the Fetish Flea Market website rules and this is my favorite part:

No live animals or non-human pets.

I love it that it has to be clarified since there will be human pets there.

Okay, so I officially am a size 6, though I have to say that when I had to switch to petite, I went back up to an 8.  Petites officially run one size larger.  WTF?!  Why do they fuck with my mind like this?   So now I have to be a 4 in order to be a 6P, and yes, I’m crazy enough that it matters.  I had a great talk today with a friend who admired my tiny boobies and I’ve decided that I really have to re-think the small boobs thing.  The body shape that I want to have is small and lean, the women that I envision when I think about how I want to look don’t have big boobs.

One other strange observation today about losing weight - I have concaves where there weren’t concaves before, so for example, it’s really difficult to shave my underarms because there are these hollows there now.  Skinny women, how the fuck do you do it?  I am missing something here.  I have the same problem with the hollow of my bikini line on the inside of my thighs.  Despite my hippie values, I am very much anti-body hair.  I did let my “ginger bush” triangle grow back after hearing the pleas of the people who feel it is a crime for a natural redhead to shave it all off.  I would otherwise rid my entire body of hair permanently if it were reasonable.

So that’s about all the news fit for print.  I’m *still* waiting on those pics from Lochai.  I wonder where they go between here and there…
