I Am Really Lucky To Have Amazing Friends!

I really do play nice... click the pic to make friends on Fetlife

So I was talking to John today about Fetlife advertising, as I do pretty much every day, and I mentioned to him that two of the most common questions people ask me are, “What is John really like?” and “What is it like to work for Fetlife?”  So I told him, and I’ll tell you, too:  John is really exactly like he presents himself on his profile on Fetlife right down to the dorky hat.  He is friendly, honest, and genuine, he is compassionate, and he really cares about keeping Fetlife for the community.  He is also one of the smartest people I know.  He is one of three people whose opinion I seek when something really matters to me.  He is one of my best friends and I haven’t even met him.  Working with him on Fetlife just seems very natural to me.  As soon as I came to Fetlife I knew it was special and I had to get involved.  As far as working for him - I think of it as working with him.  I mean ultimately Fetlife belongs to John, but as with anything else on Fetlife, John always seeks input and feedback before he makes a decision, so I feel like we collaborate.   I have the best job in the world.  I work with a friend on a project that I believe in while wearing my pajamas and listening to Coldplay.  How can you ask for more than that?

Oh, if you’re lucky you don’t have to ask - you just exist.  In my inbox today were two images from Audacia Ray, proofs for the NYC Sex Blogger Calendar, and I got to give my input on which one to use.  I’ve seen a few of the proofs now, and I can tell you, as soon as I get the green light to post a pre-order post, I’ll be setting you up to buy a calendar.  Those pics are hot, and knowing that they are the women behind all that delicious smut makes it even hotter.  I am not really a calendar buying kind of person, but I will definitely be buying a calendar, just to hang in my pseudo-office.  Call me a fangirl.  Go ahead.  I invited it.  I embrace it.  How could I not be a fan of these 12 amazing women!?!  They are exactly what I (and most bloggers) aspire to become.  I feel very lucky just to know some of them and be involved from a distance on the project!

Nikki sent me a zip file of images from our shoot (Altered Aperture) last week.  They are shocking to see — If I weren’t positive that we shot together last week, I would swear some of those shots aren’t me!  I love some of the suspension bondage shots she got.  I’ll have to share on CatalinaLoves.com over the next several weeks.  I am trying to be greedy with them and not just publish them one after the other, day after day.  So many people know Ms. Nikki Nefarious and they also ask me what she’s like.  She is every bit as sweet and adorable as she looks, and she is every bit as serious as the rope marks left in my skin after those shoots.  She’s little, but don’t underestimate her - she’s a really powerful person and one hell of a photographer!

Don’t forget about Lochai.  I couldn’t leave him out.  He is undeniably important to me.  Today marks the end of his first full week at Hogtied.com and soon we should be seeing his influence there.  Anybody who is friends with Lochai would agree, he is over the top fantastic to his friends.  He is truly a man of integrity and I trust him completely.  When he gives me his advice or opinion, it carries a lot of weight.  On top of that he’s Lochai!  Need I say more?  Have I not publicly said a thousand times that I adore that man?

And now it’s time to get in the shower and get ready to go visit my friend, M, for our Friday night tradition.

You hear artists say they are content rich and cash poor - well I do feel very friend rich.  I am very lucky to have amazing friends!
