Yesterday we had a hyooge party at the shop that was half work, half play with the machines. It was great to see so many friends, and also to get in quality time with the big lathe. I also got some great action shots of Scott, had qDot and Kelly as my guests, and just…

“CFNM” is short for Clothed Female, Naked Male and it’s one of those porn “specialty” categiories that always gets relegated to realm of fetish blogs and TGP gallery sections, along with “hairy” and “crack whore midgets”.

He’s the brilliance…

Worked at SRL today again; in this photo Bob holds our controller for the Shock Box so I can get a nice pic. I photoblogged my meditative day doing metal fab starting here. Don’t miss this adorable pic of Mark making me a soy latte with chocolate sprinkles.

Saturday night audio erotica! From my post: It’s a quickie, yay! To celebrate my first book getting a Spanish translation this week, I thought I’d read from Sweet Life: Erotic Fantasies for Couples. Alison Tyler’s story Sailor Boy is a delicious selection from the book, in which a girl gives her boyfriend a present for…

I feel like I went home today (in the *best* sense of the word) and spent the day working on, cleaning up, teaching people about and running huge machines. This is the first show we’ve done in a loooong time at SRL where we can actually tell people about it beforehand; usually we have to…

I bought this song on iTunes yesterday and have listened to it over a dozen times — it’s now my anthem for this summer, for sure. Ain’t No Other Man has bangin’ horns, kick-ass lyrics, and I just discovered that it’s also got a great video, with Aguilera dancing and jiggling in super-sexy vintage foundation…

Mark took really cute photos of me tonight! I was also told I was here and here and here today. Broke my necklace. Wrote a chapter today. Bed beckons. Hope to cuddle with a certain machine this weekend.
