I’m soooo excited! I was on my way out the door to SRL when I got a box — the first copies, hot off the press, of my new book The Smart Girl’s Guide to Porn!
OMG, it’s gorgeous! I ran right to SRL and gave one to Mark and we hugged and exclaimed and shared proudness. Eeeee!
I’m excited about this book in a way like no other. I feel like writing this is one of the most important things I’ve ever done.
And now it’s really real.
I have to celebrate tonight; I was going to stay in and do a podcast but that’ll have to happen later this weekend…
Read the whole table of contents to see what’s in this ultralutrafabulous book (after the jump) while I go collect all the crappy porn screeners around my house, make a pile, take off my clothes and roll about like a dork.
