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.

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). 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.

This fetish blog is thrilled to interview fetish model, Kink.com resident rigger and domme, rope slut, and nice person, Claire Adams.

How did this happen?

Claire: It was always meant to happen I suppose. I was a kinkster early on in childhood and when I became a teenager and started reading books like A Different Loving and Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns, I knew it was inescapable. This is who I am. I played privately in High School and when I was 18, I booked my first shoot to appear at Insex.com. I first appeared just after turning 19 and the experience was incredible. I connected to everything around me. The rope, the pain, the dynamics, the process, the intellectual and emotional journey. There really wasn’t anything that dissuaded me from wanting to experience as much as I could and I still sincerely feel that way.

Do you define yourself as any one thing over another in your head?  Claire Adams, rigger or Claire Adams, Domme or Master Damon’s Slut, etc?  Do you compartmentalize the distinct different personae you have, or do you integrate them together?

Claire: Well foremost, I am Owned by Master Damon Pierce *smiles* In reality, I am Claire.
In actuality more people in my life call me Claire than by any other name I possess. My self identity is in being me. I do not believe in bifurcating my individuality. When I am Topping another woman I am still the intimate submissive I am with Damon. I feel that every facet of self contributes to my outward personality and the games I play. I am fascinated by brutal honesty and bringing truth to any play situation, which generally takes a lot out of both me and the person I am playing with, in a good way.

Claire Adams Beach Bound by Lochai

As a rope bottom, what was is it like to be the center focus of the World’s Most Erotic Photograph and to model in one of the most iconic images in the world?  Do you find that people are surprised when they find out that “Beach Bound” is actually “Beach Bound with Claire Adams”?

Claire: I do not mind if people recognize me in the photo or not. What was special about the photograph was the moment. It captured a beautiful space in time that I will always remember along with many other truly special experiences and I am happy that other people can share that moment with me. In a way for people to be captivated by the image I think anonymity is a good thing if not necessary.

To satisfy my (Catalina) own curiosity, what is it like working with Lochai?

Claire:Lochai is a very straight to the point, clear and concise communicator. I appreciate his up front approach and honesty. I also like his observational style of seeing where the rope takes the scene.

As a rigger, you did the first vanilla suspension for Vanity Fair.  How did that shoot differ from one you did for Kink, aside from the obvious naughtiness?

Claire: Well working with the amazing photographer Art Streiber, the fabulous Tom Ford, and the amazing Peter Saarsgard put a very interesting approach to bondage. They were all interested in the aesthetics and the process of the experience, much like us rope enthusiasts. Peter did not think he would be able to suspend, but I gently removed the apple boxes away from his torso, he gasped… then realized it was ok. He was comfortable, happy, and excited to have this experience. That is what I love about working with new people or people with a genuine interest in wanting to go somewhere. The difference between the two was very little. Intent is everything.

The rope work of Mistress Claire Adams On WhippedAss.com

As a sub, are the things that you enjoy experiencing the same things that you enjoy inflicting upon others as a top?

Claire: As strange as it sounds, I love to share empathy. When I interact with someone with me as the Top, I feel that I am facilitating an experience with them. Taking them somewhere I know they can go intuitively or out of experience or even common sense. Everything I do to someone, especially rope are things I frequently fantasize about having done to myself… so in some crazy bondage positions that I have not had the chance to experience yet, I can experience them vicariously and get off in a different but still exciting way.

Do you see a defined border between the worlds of Fetish and Porn? I ask because in my work (Marky) I can see a difference in the people, the ethos, and the vibe, when I deal with production porn, and when I deal with fetish/bdsm.

Claire: Bondage and Porn are now more synonymous than Fetish and Porn. When they started integrating main stream porn models into the BDSM market, like 3 years ago the bondage model ceased to exist. This happened because not all models are created equal and if they ask a mainstream porn model to do a single ankle suspension and be single tailed, you won’t have many takers. The amount of pain and the intensity of the bondage had to be decreased in order to accommodate the “Market Demand” for bondage and sex. Now as I see it, the main difference between a Fetish and a Bondage Model is that one is comfortable with nudity and insertion, the other is not. I have judgement on neither.

Do you see, or have you experiences any conflict by defining yourself as a switch rather than a submissive or domme?  I ask (Catalina), because recently a friend of mine just found out that you are owned by Master Damon and it changed the way he saw you.  He said he could no longer think of you as a Domme, as you are owned by someone else ultimately.  As a switch myself (Catalina) I find it difficult to live in the “in between” world.  People don’t quite know how to take me.

Claire: Switches in the community at times are viewed critically. In the BDSM society that we live in, sometimes people are not too keen on the grey area. They want their play to be as defined as the people they are playing with, and I understand and embrace this predicament. My personal definition of who I am is a Switch that is more submissive than Dominant.

What is it about Sgt. Major that brings out the submissive side of you?  Is it his style of impact play, his persona, or do you just like the guy?

Claire: I respect Sarge for all of the reasons above! He is a great guy!

Do you keep in touch with anybody from your Insex days? Do you see Insex as the “ground zero” for online bondage?

Claire: Well I can respond cynically and say “yes every day” hehehe, considering I live with Damon. As far as models go, well I do speak with Princess Donna and the current models that work there. As far as riggers, I am good friends with Cyd and Matt. Half of the webmasters at Kink.com were in some way shape or form involved with Insex. I am sure Insex has had a strong formative grasp on the advent of internet sites, so has House of Gord and many others that started around the same time. I have the greatest admiration for PD as a rigger, artist, and inventor. His craft is unparalleled in rope as is his creative process and individuality.

Can you give a quick overview of Vintage Rope and of the difference and distinctions between the various types of rope.

Claire: Vintage Rope is Master Damon Pierce and my rope company. We are the purveyors of exotic hemp rope, synthetic rope, bondage scarves, educational books, and vintage style cotton. Rope varies greatly in its use by what it is made out of, how thick it is, its strength/durability/comfort, and ease of use. We sell Japanese hemp. It is a 3 strand, available in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm. We work with this rope a great deal because we love the way it handles, holds knots/strength, and its overall comfort and durability.

What’s it like working for a professional company like Kink.com as opposed to a more niche site like whipped-pussy.com or backdoorbondage.com? Do the smaller sites allow for greater intensity?

Claire: Honestly the intensity of a scene for me is dependent upon the person I am working with, no matter where we are! Whether its a big crew or a small one, the biggest thing is being able to focus on the tasks at hand, whether I am a model or a director, or just a rigger. As long as you can maintain the connection with your play partner, that is what matters.

What’s the future hold for Claire Adams? Are you mapping the human genome, building lego monuments, eating cheese? What’s on your plate?

Claire: For now, you can pay attention to my site : http://www.clairebondage.com and Damon’s site: http://www.damonpierce.com and our company, http://www.vintagerope.com
Damon and I always have a vast array of interests and desires, you may never know what we will come up with next!

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 :)

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.

This fetish blog loves Claire Adams. Not only is she beautiful, she’s a great rigger for Kink.com, a Dominatrix for Men In Pain and Whipped Ass, she is a lovely submissive slut for Sgt. Major on Backdoor Bondage, with Amir on Whipped-Pussy, and… (whew!) she is an amazingly compelling fetish model on her own site, Claire Bondage. This gas mask fetish scene is amazing. Claire finds a note telling her to be a good girl and strap herself into the bondage chair, and like a good submissive, she does what she’s told. Claire Adams is amazing, and I’m going to interview her for our blog network soon. Neat piece of trivia… Claire Adams is the beautiful woman in Lochai’s iconic fetish image, Beach Bound. The girl gets around. Claire Adams is impressive on many levels. And… she’s yummy.

Beach Bound by Lochai

“BEACH BOUND”
AN EYE-OPENING VISIT TO THE EXTREME WORLD OF
AWARD-WINNING PHOTOGRAPHER LOCHAI,
SET TO OPEN MONDAY, AUGUST 4,
FOR A MONTH’S RUN AT WASHINGTON AVENUE’S
WORLD EROTIC ART MUSEUM

MIAMI BEACH—Continuing its mission to present the work of artists whose controversial subject matter frequently collide with what is generally considered to be acceptable parlor art, owner/collector Naomi Wilzig will present an exhibit by award-winning photographer, Lochai, Monday, August 4 through August 30, at the World Erotic Art Museum, 1205 Washington Ave.

An opening reception will be held Monday, August 4th  from 7 to 10 P.M.

Declaring he “shoots for the walls and not the computer screen,” Lochai’s images of bondage and fetish, have been published in The British Journal of Photography, Secret, Skin Two, Bizarre, Prometheus, Fetish Anthology and Extreme Anthology, as well as his own fine art coffee table books. In 2007, Lochai’s photo, “Beach Bound,” was judged by Erotic Signature as “The World’s Most Erotic Photograph.” Along with his runner-up images, “Alyssa Bound”, “Spider Brides” and “Curves”, “Beach Bound” appears in the collector’s edition of The World’s Greatest Erotic Art of Today, Volume 1 & 2.

Working with some of the world’s most beautiful models, Lochai, who along with Bobby Knight is a founding member and instructor of Pro Photo Tours (http://prophotours.com), finds his subject matter an opportunity to unleash the hidden truths and desires that lie not only in the persons of his models, but in the heart of his viewers.

Approximately thirty images will be on view, with Lochai planning to give a brief overview of his photographic work and bondage rigging using a female model during the opening night reception.

The World Erotic Art Museum is located at 1205 Washington Avenue.  Opens seven days from 11 A.M. to Midnight, admission is $15 per person.  Further information is available by calling (305) 532-9336 or online at www.weam.com.

Become A Patron Of The Arts!  Support Lochai!!

It’s no secret that I have a ridiculous crush on Lochai, and maybe a part of it is because I fell in love with his work as an artist.  On top of all that I got to actually meet him yesterday and put my hands on his…  prints (I know what you thought I was going to say!)

I know a lot of my readers are people who share my opinion about Lochai’s erotic and bondage images and also share my belief in supporting the art and the artists they love.  That’s what this post is all about.  Your opportunity to own real art while supporting the arts. It’s a win-win situation.

Lochai has a few gallery shows coming up.  He talks about them in the interview we did recently here. In response to my question about his upcoming gallery shows, in particular the exhibition at the World Erotic Art Museum in Miami Beach, FL, this is what he had to say:

Wow….  To hang in a Museum is an amazing thing.  To hang in this Museum is even a greater compliment in that the owner/curator, Naomi Wilzig, does not normally collect photography & has only just started to.  She has thousands of painting, sculptures and other various articles that have moved her over the years and only a few photographs including ones from a good friend of mine, BT Charles.  She has had many one person displays exhibited in the galleries in the 3 years WEAM has been open, but she asked me to be the first photographer.  I am also a local so this adds to the pride I feel.  Art gallery shows are wonderful but to say that you are displayed in a museum, for me that is something I am very proud of.  I will also have Beach Bound added to the permanent collection. I was also the first heterosexual male artist to have a special “Guest Gallery” show that lasted a year of 30 of my images in the Leather Archives & Museum in Chicago http://www.leatherarchives.org/ which just came down in May.

So now here we are, it’s almost time for Lochai’s big show and now it’s time for me to get involved in the only way I know how.  I’m holding my own Lochai Pledge Drive to help support Lochai’s upcoming gallery projects.  He has never done this before and he may never do this again, it’s truly exclusive (and it will give your grandkids something to bring onto The Antique’s Roadshow!) Think of it is the kinky version of the PBS Pledge Drive - you know, you donate some money and they give you a nice gift to say thank you.

Here’s the rundown - you donate to Lochai’s upcoming shows.  Donations are simple and easy - log into PayPal and use Lochai’s email address (nawalochai@kirinawa.com).  You can even use your credit card.  In return, as a thank-you gift, you receive one of Lochai’s signed prints.  The print you will receive will be chosen by Lochai and is from his award-winning gallery.

Donate $25 and receive a signed 4×6 print.  This is perfect to frame and put on your nightstand

Donate $50 and receive a signed 5×7 print.  This is a perfect size to have on your desk, no?

Donate $75 and receive two signed 5 x 7 prints - a nice little complimentary set for your boudoir.  I love the idea of having two complimentary, beautiful images, nicely framed and hung next to each other.  MDS says he thinks it would be neat if you’re a couple to frame them and then put one on each of your nightstands.  I love MDS.  He’s so clever!

If you donate $75 or more, Beach Bound will be one of the 2 5×7 prints… ;-)

Donate $100 and receive one signed 8×10 print - perfect to hang on the wall.  Actually Lochai gave me an 8×10 as a gift yesterday and it’s matted, framed, and perfectly placed on my desk, so an 8×10 is really a nice size - you can hang it or place it somewhere special.

For donations more generous than $100.00, please contact Lochai directly.   Those donors will be considered sponsors and will not only have their name associated with the show as a sponsor, but as a thank-you gift will receive a signed 5×7 Beach Bound, as well as a signed, limited edition print (of your choice).  Again, just contact Lochai directly to discuss this option.  He’s a very friendly man!

This week’s Good Things List is brought to you by the letter V (for valium) and the number 10 (for the dose)… and readers like you!  (PS: JOIN FETLIFE!)

A Good Blog To Read

Narration by D is this week’s blog pick.  D is the counterpart of another of my favorite blogs Thursday’s Child.  It says in his profile: “From the male perspective, the exploration of a young married couple beyond vanilla sex.”   D is in my BILF list.  His wife is also in my BILF list.  They as a couple are in my BILF list.  Now we just have to figure out how to get into the same state and city!

A Good Toy

I have just gotten my new shipment of toys to review for Vibe Review and I haven’t even formally reviewed it yet on my blog, but so far I can tell you that I adore the Cyberglass Felicity.  I have just recently gotten into glass/pyrex dildos and this one is a perfect starter because of the low price.  You can warm it under some hot water in the sink or you can cool it in the refrigerator for a while (it comes in a nice case, by the way!).  You can use either end, you can play with it vaginally or anally.  I just love it!  Vibe Review happens to be a great company to do business with - a classy online toy company that has a good reputation.  That matters!

A Good Photographer

Erocrush.  Melvin Moten, Jr. is Erocrush.  His work is special to me.  He is special to me.  I consider him a very good friend.  He allows me to use his images all the time on my blogs.  I know that you have enjoyed them.  Like Lochai, who I’m in love with, Melvin isn’t shooting for the porn content market.  He shoots fetish and erotic art that he enjoys.  With real women, that he enjoys.  With real couples.  One thing I noticed about Melvin’s work is that his models obviously feel so natural with him that they forget he’s even there.  It’s as though you’re actually there, in the scene, a voyeur.  I love Melvin.  I want Melvin to shoot me.  With any luck at all, this fall, he will.  Then I will have my way with him!  If you click on the (perfect) image in this post (by Erocrush) it will magically take you to his site.  Fear not! It will open in a new window and you won’t lose the Good Things List!

A Good Pay Site

Inescapable Bondage is January Seraph’s new content site.  She has been shooting their own content like crazy.  She and her hotter than hell partner-in-crime, Smutty, have been violating all kinds of men and women.  This is Brand Spanking New!  January isn’t, of course.  She’s got a great reputation as a top model and actress already, but this site is so new that you’re probably the first one you know to see it! 

A Good Blogger Resource

The Week In Kink.  Duh.  I sat here and tried to think about this one for a while and then I realized, if you’re a good blogger and you have good posts, then you should send me a little note.  Each week I go through blogs that I like and pick the hottest posts and then publish them on TheWeekInKink.Com.  I just want to be clear that I’m not trying to compete with Sugasm.  It’s not a democracy - it’s just a list of my top favoritest, hottest, made me want to masturbate posts.  :)

A Good Group

It’s widely known that I love FetLife.  I’m an official greeter there now, which makes me feel extra special.  What makes me feel super, duper special, though, is starting a new Charlotte Kinksters group (it’s called Charlotte, NC - The Queen of Kink, since we are the Queen City!)  If you join FetLife you can join the Charlotte Kinky group.  The idea is that we could all get together for informal gatherings and have a little community here that isn’t quite as formal as CAPEX.

A Good Alternative Education Resource/CommUNITY Source

This is the place to go to find professional alternative educators, presenters, event planners, vendors, dm/security/medical, legal, volunteers, and more.  Everybody claims to be a sex educator, but this group is truly respected within the commUNITY as the leaders in their fields.  Now, you can learn from them.  Oh, it’s no coincidence you’ll find Lochai there.  Wouldn’t you die to take a bondage class with Lochai?  Oh my…  You can also take classes with people like Claire Adams.  OMG.  I’m in heaven.
