Hopefully tasteful sponsor shout-out

Contrary to outside appearances, we don’t run entirely off of lube, glitter, rainbow flags, the sweat of anti-porn pundits, or even the sweat of nubile code babes. (Though I try. Oh how I try.) I feel like some days it’s a trick of the light that I even get to do this. Though at the end of each day, this blog and I have to put cat food in the bowl, and I’m delighted to say I personally handpick all my sponsors and advertisers — I’m lucky that way, thanks to you. So bear with me while a do a quick shout. Free your mind, and your mouse will follow…

* Welcome to bdsm.com. A new dating site for kinksters, it’s more focused on making hookups than on community so if you’re looking for something that is different than alt.com or FetLife, it’s the new new.

* Coco deMer USA: women-run — so elegant, so sophisticated. Home to workshops run by friends and peeps I admire.

* Laughing Squid‘s tentacles are always in the background, making things go. Thank you!

* Babeland has quality toys, incredible deals, and send me sweet emails of support. Yay!

* I’ve partnered with Sugar DVD (and Vod) for so long it’s remarkable to think about; they’re a great resource staffed by very cool people. Right now they’re giving away five iPod Touches for their *spring giveaways* in partnership with PinkVisual, and I can vouch that they’re on the level — I won a Playstation from them a while back.

* Pure CFNM is one of the kickiest porn sites I’ve come across, and they say they’ll do anything I ask. Recently they sent an email asking if I want their girls to hold up a sign saying anything I want during their next shoot. Should I do it? What should the sign say?
