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.

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.

Graphic Design by Naughty Secretary

Bestsexbloggers.com is officially open for business, I have hung my shingle outside the door and rung the bell.  The result is already exciting - sex bloggers and writers from all genres, styles, and every label imaginable combined with the images of the best erotic photographers have made for a very neato place to visit.  I’m already hooked, and it’s my blog!  Kind of.  I mean, I started it and made it, but the result is not the result of my efforts, but the community.

I got the idea for a community blog from Lochai, who introduced me to the notion of commUNITY.  We’re not just writing for our readers now, we’re writing for each other - networked tightly - forming the perfect (almost perfect) group of work by intertwining each individual’s.  I think it’s nearly orgasmic.

Speaking of orgasmic.  A few things worth noting - in case you missed Lochai’s comment on a previous post, it said:

Catalina,

You are by far the most beautiful, wonderful woman in the world (after my wife that is)! This show would be a fraction of what it is if not for you and your er….. talents.

Luv Ya!
L-

Also worth noting is that I called D earlier and masturbated and came for him on his voicemail so he can listen to it over and over again.  Soon thereafter I got a call from Thursday, who was clearly on her way to her own orgasm, so while I listened to them fucking, MDS stripped my clothes off of me and threw me on the bed and had his way with me.  I came three times, between his cock and his tongue, on the phone, as I listened to D and Thursday getting off together.  Um, yum.

When it rains, it pours, right?  Here it’s stormy!  Kinkerbelle is coming for a visit in a few weeks and we have some good plans!  They include me (the star!), Kinkerbelle, MDS, Mr. F, and Altered Aperture - and if we can talk her into it, we’re going to throw Miss Ellie Lumpesse into the middle of it all!  (Cross your fingers)

And it’s a good thing I’m on the East Coast or I’d probably already be in the middle of JC and his girl.

That about cover’s the day’s kinky activities.  I’m going to go work on the interview I did with Claire Adams.  Oh, that got your attention, did it?  Yep, keep an eye out and you can read for yourself what she had to say.

Congratulations, Lochai, on a very successful opening night reception at the WEAM!  Of course, you were a hit.  You’re LOCHAI!!  I’m not the *only* one who adores you!

"Catalina's Penthouse Bondage", Rigging and Photography by Ms. Nikki Nefarious

This week’s Good Things List is packed full of as many good things as I could find for you.  Some are free, some are not.  Everything on here I hand-picked myself and I recommend.  It’s not bullshit, it’s not clever advertising, it’s just that I’m an opinionated person and I think that people should know about the good things that I find.  That’s all.

A Good Blog To Read

Naughty Secretary writes a very hot blog.  She is a natural born writer, it just pours out of her and what she ends up with is eloquent and perfect every single time.  She caught my attention and now we are close.  I consider her my Naughty Secretary, as she has taken on the position willingly.  I’m not just sending you there because NS is fucking hot, nor am I sending you there just because she wrote this post about me, but it certainly didn’t hurt her case either!

A Good Dildo

I’m way into glass / pyrex dildos these days.  I talked before about the Cyberglass Felicity.  This time I’m recommending the Pleasure Bump.  They are a really nice quality for a really nice price.  I was going on and on about the Cyberglass Felicity with a friend of mine who said, ” I love that glass dildo.  Most glass products are so expensive, but this one is inexpensive, yet feels like some of the higher end glass dildos.” So there you have it, two kinky women agree these dildos are the way to go!

A Good Quickie

Mz Berlin is a friend of mine, as you know.  She’s sexy, she’s intelligent, she’s dorky, she’s funny, she loves Lolcats, and sensory deprivation with her Dom, The Mad Scientist.  She also has a little clips store that is well worth your time.  Of course you can see porn for free, duh.  I’m not stupid.  I know this.  You can also eat for free if you want to dumpster dive.  This is the equivalent of eating in the restaurant rather than digging through the scraps.  Take your pick and give a click.  It’s a mixture of content from her younger days and also current content that she creates herself.  And as she says, “I made it just for you.”

A Good Calling Card

I really need to have new calling cards made.  Badly.  So does everybody I know.  Lately it’s been the topic of conversation amongst my friends.  When Thursday’s Child suggested Moo Cards, I instantly knew I had to pass that site along in the Good Things List this week.  It is definitely where I am going to order my cards from (payday…  payday…)   Oh, by the way - I get nothing from them for saying this - I just think their site is very cool.

A Good Deed

Now you can do a good deed and get off at the same time!  It doesn’t really get better than that.  Seriously.  Take a look at “Adopt a Child” by Sinless Touch.  I’m not affiliated with them, but I saw a press release on AVN (Adult Video Network) recently and looked into it and it’s the real deal.  It says on their site:

During checkout, you have the option to round up your purchases and donate electronic “spare change” to a charitable cause.  One of the reasons that people don’t donate is because they don’t have enough time, so we have tired to make it easy for you.  During your checkout you decide how much to round up your total, and the donation is included in your payment.
With your generous donations, we have committed to adopting children worldwide. We will maintain a profile of each child and their life for all to follow and see how we are all making a difference.

A Good Rigger

A rigger is a bondage artist.  S/he ties knots intricately for BDSM scenes using Nawa Shibari as well as other bondage art techniques.  Professional riggers are employed by companies like Kink.com and often are themselves players in the scene (take Claire Adams, for example).  Some are just there to tie up the willing victim.  Some are there to create bondage art for bondage art photography.  Ms. Nikki Nefarious was voted the #3 Rigger in the 2008 Bondage Awards.  That’s right, my Nikki, the genius behind Altered Aperture, the award winning rigger ties up Catalina all the time.  How fucking lucky am I?!?!  Nikki’s recent separation from Social Kink has made her more available for freelance work.  Now’s your chance!

A Good Way To Distract Yourself

I might be the last one alive to have signed up already for Twitter, my profile is CatalinaLoves, but I’m now officially addicted.  I even have the little Twitterfox plug in for Firefox and now I can play with all my blogger friends and fellow kinksters and perverts all day long while I’m supposed to be working!  If I could figure it out, I would add a little Twitter widget to Catalina Loves, but I haven’t figured it out yet.  I could also, apparently, get updates on my cell phone, but again, not quite that cool.  Funny, I can tell you how to write code, but I can’t get Twitter technology to work.

Well, that’s about it - anything more and I’ll just be looking for good things.  These are all good things that I’ve found, stumbled upon, or was pointed to.  I’d rather have a short list of good things that are really good than a big long list of crap I hunted for on Friday night at 9:33 pm (the current time here in Charlotte, NC).

Just a little shameless self-promotion — I’d like to think that my blogs are all good things, so just a little reminder to take a peek.  I also just started writing at Trufetish.com and I will contribute on the blog at Into The Attic as well.  Soon all of the best sex bloggers and erotic photographers will collaborate on a very big project I am managing - so keep an ear out for news about that!  And now, it’s time for my date with MDS.

So there you have it. The Week In Kink with a few new friends on the list, the list grows and grows and grows… maybe we should start doing it twice a week?  The mid-week in kink?  I don’t know.  You tell me!

How could it be Wednesday already?  It was just Friday.  I was just shooting the penthouse set with Altered Aperture yesterday, I swear.  How did this happen?  I was sitting here trying to recount my week so that I could convey it, because if there’s one thing I can say about my life, it’s not boring.  Just writing about my daily life is entertainment enough, and it’s the only place where I can just write and not craft.

We (Quid Pro Quo) started working with Sgt. Major and Backdoorbondage.com this week.  We’re pretty excited about that because we consider Sgt. Major a personal friend, so working with him has been and will be nothing but a joy.  I simply adore his girl, she’s the sweetest, yet filthiest, girl I’ve met in a while.

I have had a great time being involved with John from FetLife on a couple of projects.  I joined FetLife, became a greeter, and now John is someone I truly consider a friend, a genuine friend (You Rock, John!)  I can’t go a day without talking to him now.  I digress… One project was having banners made.  It started with images from Lochai (http://kirinawa.com) and the graphic design work of our Naughty Secretary.  It has since become an album of over a hundred banners submitted by FetLife members.  Banner selection is good.  You can’t really have too many quality banners of all kinds of flavors and sizes - people want to be able to pick one that goes with their site.  Now I need to write a little .html code box for them and get them on the banners page on FetLife.  The question is, will I put them up and do it or will John?  Again, I have no idea when he’ll have time to do it, but when he does, they’ll be ready!  In the meantime, I’m going to throw one up on my banners page here!  Link up to FetLife if you want to be associated with a very cool, growing, social network for kinky folks.

The other project was getting real FetLife members to submit images of themselves for the front page - the idea being we would rotate the images and link to the member’s site.  It has become an album of hundreds of images, literally.   Now I have to dig through them and select x number of images.  The implementation of it will be a bitch.  To keep track of which profile goes with which image is a bitch on my end, and I bet changing the code won’t be that fun for John.  Who knows the timeline on that project.  Right now it’s just collect images.  That I can do.  The upside for me is that I’ve written to several of the contributors and asked for permission to use their images on my blogs, so you’ll get to see some of the sexiest ones just because you know me.  How about that?!  See, you have connections, my friend.

I am more in love with my husband than ever, despite my desire (and his) to fuck everybody we are friends with.  He pulled off some pretty impressive shit this week and I’m way proud of him.  He also picked me up, the Princess Carry is what we all it in our house, the way a groom carries his bride over the threshold, and threw me on the bed and had his way with me.  That was fucking hot.

Fortunately, the timing is perfect for Tina Peitsche to start submitting things to Catalina Loves.  I posted a seriously hot tale of her first adventure with a gasmask and it was the first time I actually even considered trying it out.  Then she also submitted a kick ass review of a very good book, Erotic Signature Volume II.   Not only did I need someone to help me keep good content going on Catalina Loves while I focus more energy into our PR and Marketing business, but the book she reviewed contains one of Lochai’s award-winning images, “Curves“, so how could I not post it?  It’s Lochai related!  Of course, it’s also one of the best books for people like us to own.  All of the best erotic photography in a coffee table book with class.  Last year, Lochai’s “Beach Bound” was voted Most Erotic Photograph in volume I.  Did I mention that I adore Lochai?

There are a million other things to write, because I haven’t written for days - here’s the skinny.  There is still so much to do before bestsexbloggers.com can launch.  I joined skype and still haven’t used it.  I joined Twitter, and I’m psyched about it and I’m addicted to it already.  Firefox has a nice little Twitterfox plug-in that Curvaceous Dee taught me all about.  Now I’m a twittering fool!  Follow me and I’ll follow you :)

I have a thousand things to write.  A million more things to say.  Like I’m officially D’s Goobermilf, and I have to add a thousand different links to my blogrolls, and I am writing for Trufetish.com now, and also for IntotheAttic.com’s blog.  It’s good to expand.  I had a nice chat with my friend, what will I officially call him on my blog?  He needs a name.  I can’t use his initials - they are taken.  I’m going to call him TD (The Dude).  if he reads my blog, I know he’s clever enough to figure out why his name is officially The Dude.  We live five miles max from each other and chatted for hours online… neither of us wanted to leave home.  Now that we don’t work together anymore, we are real friends rather than work friends.

That’s got to be it.  It’s 5:30 am and I haven’t slept yet.  It’s not that I don’t sleep ever.  I sleep like 5 hours a night.  So MDS gets up with the kids, cause he’s awesome, and I’ll sleep till like 11.  Today is going to be great!  I’m going running with TD at 3:00.  It’s been a couple of days.

Quick Thoughts:

• Marky D. Sade, I love you more than I ever have.
• My friends are amazing and I am unbelievably lucky to have them.
• I had two orgasms today and I’m about to wake up MDS with a blow job…specifically for D, who said to do it as if I were giving it to him.  Ok.  I take orders well.  I give them well, too.  He has to take pictures in and out of his hot suit!
• I adore Lochai.
• I really hope Graydancer joins our kinky little sexblogger cult with his awesomeness.
• I wish the timing would work out for me to get a little visit in to Mr. F soon.

Life is good.  In a nutshell, life is pretty good.  Friday night I went out to dinner with M, my regular Friday night dinner with a twist.  Instead of just going to my favorite restaurant in Charlotte, we went to my favorite restaurant in Charlotte with Nikki and her girl, Mia.   We ate the most delicious dinner, had some yummy martinis and went back to M’s place.  M happens to make a lot of money.  I won’t say more, there’s no need to.  But he lives in a very nice penthouse apartment in uptown Charlotte, so we went back to M’s place to chill out and do a really nice “Penthouse Bondage” shoot.  Not only did Nikki get some nice images of me, but she also tied up Mia and took some shots of her as well.  M got to watch.  That was his reward.  He got to take three beautiful women out to dinner, then watch as Ms. Nikki Nefarious tied up Catalina in his living room and then later Mia.  He did say it was a banner day for him.  I’m sure that is true.  I was excited because Nikki and Mia are the first of my friends that I’ve introduced to M.  As soon as I get some of the images, you can bet I’ll share them with you!

Let’s see, what else?  I have been working on some FetLife projects.  FetLife totally rocks and I’ve become friends with the FetLife man, John.  We are working on a project to get some new banners and code, and also to get new images of real kinksters on FetLife for the front page.  It seemed like a small project, as most of the things I do seem, but it’s become quite an event.  I have to say though, I love it.  I also started a FetLife/JohnBaku Fan Club.   I always call myself the FetLife official unofficial fan club leader, and people thought there was a real fan club, so I made one!  Join up!

I finally joined the ranks of the cool kids and signed up with Skype and Twitter.  Now you can follow me around.  I’m CatalinaLoves on both of them.  Pretty obvious.   Curvaceous Dee finally helped me set up my Google Reader.  Yes, I’m that lame that I didn’t use RSS feeds, I just jumped bookmark to bookmark.   I’ve gotten to know her quite well and I really like her a lot!

W is finally home from Oregon, so for the most part our time has been spent balancing being parents and work.  Quid Pro Quo, our PR and Marketing firm, is doing very well and we have new clients that we want to work with, so we’re excited!  It’s now a balancing act of having a home business, writing, parenting, social lives, sex lives, friends, music, smoking out, running, meditating, and at some point eating and sleeping.

I need to, in fact, quit writing this post even though there are more words in my tummy because I just also started writing for Trufetish.com and I owe them a story and a bio and all of that.  I also have bestsexbloggers.com, which isn’t even live yet that I’m working on.  Oh My!  I need a secretary, a housekeeper, a nanny, a submissive, and a personal assistant (that wants to work for free).  Know anyone?

I guess this is as good a time as any to wrap it up and move on.  There is real smut to write.  Like how I’m planning a couple of really hot group activities…  that’s a post for another blog and another day!

OMG - I can’t believe I almost forgot to mention Lochai!  One of the best parts of being Catalina is having Lochai in your cell phone and getting a text that says, “Cum for me”.

From Postsecret.com

Wow, it’s been a while, right?  Did you wonder what happened?  It was no coincidence.  I wasn’t in the hospital or even off on some amazing playfest.  In fact, part of our support of Lochai was to donate our prime real estate on our blogs through the 15th.  It was quite intentional.  But as much as I adore Lochai, and trust me, I adore Lochai every day (um yeah, he kind of figured it out), I have to write.  It’s just driving me crazy not to write every day.

So what’s been going on?  Wow, the world is melting down around me, yet things are better than ever.  Know how that is?  Like I have a friend going through a divorce, one who had to deal with her sister’s suicide attempt and also is shouldering the entire burden to now hold out hope as her cousin (who grew up as a sister) is fighting for her life at the Mayo Clinic.  Big stuff, right?  A friend I consider to be my lil’ sister was fired from her job suddenly.  She is the third of my friends to be fired suddenly and unexpectedly.  It really hits you in the gut when you don’t expect it!  Add to all of that that someone exceptionally close to me is dealing with childhood issues of abuse, emotional and sexual - it was a blessing in disguise that I didn’t post for a week so I could help my friends get through rough times.

Okay, enough of the Debbie Downer stuff.  Now the good stuff!

We couldn’t be happier that we are expecting two visitors.  It looks like an undisclosed, but very lovely friend will be coming next month to be beaten, to beat me, to be beaten again, and then maybe MDS will beat both of us and make us cum until our legs give out like the guy in the Gatorade commercial… you know the one.   While she’s here we plan to shoot with Altered Aperture, as well.  Both separately and together.  Who knows, maybe we’ll even shoot a video?  I’m also really hoping that the four of us will be able to get together with Mr. F and that she and I alone will also go for a visit over to see Mr. F.  So basically any way you can imagine having sex that weekend, we plan on it.

After that, in October, we are expecting an old friend from the past to come and visit us.  It’s not just about sex.  We love her.  She’s special to us.  We can’t wait to climb in bed together, put her between us, chill out and watch the Simpsons and just snuggle up…  but, I did tell her that I couldn’t guarantee that I wouldn’t try to fuck her and she did say, “Oh, Catalina, I’m counting on it.  Please do fuck me.”   Ok, I’ll give you a minute to process that.  Replace my name with yours and imagine it coming from one of the most beautiful women you know and happen to genuinely love.  …yeah, right?!   But wait, it gets better!  Throw Mr. F. into the picture.  What if just she and I go over to Mr. F’s house, on our knees in front of his magnificent chocolate cock and suck him off?  What if Mr. F comes over to our house and the four of us figure out all the possible combinations that four people can get each other off?  Well, really - that’s the plan.

Other news:  The site is not live yet, but we are starting a new blog project that will include the best sex bloggers I know.  Like people I can’t believe are actually wanting to put their name with mine?  Wow.  I am overwhelmed and moved all at the same time.  The amount of work in setting up a big blog where all of the best sex bloggers post in one place is very daunting.  We would be lost without the help of our Naughty Secretary, hereby known as NS.  Click on the postcard above to visit her blog! NS is the best.  I mean I love NS.  I loved her the minute I met her.  I loved her the minute I read her work.  I loved her more when I heard her voice!  She’s enchanting, and the best part of it is, she knows that she’s enchanting.  She knows every bit how sexy and smart and powerful she is, yet she has agreed to be our NS.  We have so much fun playing, texting, chatting, working, scheming, sharing secrets, and generally doing the girl stuff we would do if we were together, except for the sex.  Oh but if I had a weekend with NS…  I digress into fantasyland.  What was the point?  Oh yeah, the project.  So it’s coming along and the list of contributors is impressive.  I don’t want to give away all my secrets yet, so you’ll have to wait for the good part.  But trust me.  In my opinion, this will be our best blog project ever (and I’m pretty attached to Catalina Loves!)

Quid Pro Quo is thriving and taking in new clients.  Some of the people I’m working with on a professional level for their PR and Marketing are people that I admire.  It’s fun to do it.  I genuinely feel grateful that I enjoy my work so much.  I work a lot.  But that means that I spend my days talking to really cool people.

Well, there is so much to say…  but it is 4:23 am, and I’ve yet to sleep.  I’m going to wrap it up with this.  It’s not even a matter of insomnia.  I’m actually tired as fuck, but there was work to do.  The day was fucked up because I basically got up, went running.  I’m only 25 lbs. from my goal weight and I ran harder, faster, and farther than I’ve ever gone before.  I told my texting buddy, we work out together, that he just gave me an exercise orgasm.  Then came home and took a shower and picked W up from the airport and spent the evening with her and did a session later after she went to bed.  Sometimes there literally aren’t enough hours in the day, so you have to use them all.

With that, I’ll say night night.  It’s good to be back!

This post is crazy long today - fair warning!

Life is boring and it’s exciting at the same time.  I kind of do the same thing day after day yet it’s pretty exciting!  I started trying to write sexual fantasies in Spanish, but the reality is that my Spanish isn’t really such that I know all the best sexy slang.  I guess I have a new challenge.

I talked to my friend last night, the hot little 23-year-old teacher that I used to work with, on text.  We hung out for the first time in a long time the other night and got all fucked up.  He knew about part of my secret life while we were teaching together, but not all of it.  Now that we are no longer co-workers, I let him in on a few more secrets.  It all happened because he asked me what i was doing for a living now that I’m not teaching and I mentioned being a PR and Marketing consultant, which led to a discussion of my client list, which led to the inevitable question on my part, “once you see the links to my blogs there is no going back.”  But he is a consenting adult and so he now knows.  How much he knows and what he’s read, I have no idea, but I do really value having true friends who know the true you and not just the social mask you present to most of your friends.

So anyway, it changes things a bit that we don’t work together anymore and that I’m a professional sex writer, worker, and promoter.  It doesn’t change things like all of a sudden I gave him the best head of his life, though that has crossed my mind.  He and I already had a perverted friendship to begin with, so it just really is a new level of perversion that we share in common.  Kind of nice, really.  I have a flirting fetish.

So last night I texted him to find out if he was going to go work out today (Sunday) because I wanted to go running, but instead he says he’s going to Mass and then to brunch.  Okay, I forgot that even though he’s a perverted little man that he is a good little Catholic boy.  So I said something about six different responses I started to his text but they were all too filthy.  So he asked me to send them anyway.  Again…  “Are you sure?  Are you sober?”  LOL.  Seriously.  I don’t appreciate it when people can only be sexual when drunk.  So again I realize he’s just being a little naughty.  So okay.  I play along.  Now I have to try to remember them all.

• Number 1: To sneak off somewhere during mass, one at a time, discreetly, to a place where nobody where nobody would think to look (why would we even be there, nobody would be looking).  A simple lift of the dress and quick fuck and back into mass just as casually and just as discreetly, but with a very naughty secret.
• Number 2: To park far enough away from the church that you could have a quick blow job in the car and I would go into church tasting cum on my lips.
• Number 3: To take the nice little Catholic boy and turn him into a filthy slut who has no purpose other than to satisfy me.
• Number 4: To have hot sex that morning before leaving so that while you’re sitting there in church there is cum dripping out of me into my panties and the subtle scent of my pussy on your fingers.

(He texts, “That’s four by my count, keep going.”)

• Number 5: To be sitting around at brunch with all the nice churchgoing people while messing around with each other under the tablecloth while keeping a straight face.
• Number 6: To give you a reason to confess next week after thinking such filthy thoughts about a married woman.
• Bonus 7: Because I’m competitive and I love cum and know that I am good at what I do.  I figure you’re 23 and so you’ve never had anything like me.  Nobody you’ve ever slept with has ever sucked your cock the way I would and we both know that.
• Bonus 8: It would make all the rumors from school that we were fucking true, which is hot.

So we met up for brunch today.  It was fun, kind of like old times eating together at school.  I watch him devour thousands of calories while I freak out over how many I am eating.  I give him half of my food and take a bite of his, no matter what it is.  Wait.  WTF?!  I didn’t get a taste of his food today.  Now he owes me! It is nice to be able to be perverted with friends and not have it be weird.  I like that about my friends.

Let’s see, what else?  I set up Nikki’s Altered Aperture gallery on Google Photo.  It’s nice to be able to upload galleries, set them as unlisted, and then send someone the auth key to get into the album.  I like Google for a lot of reasons, despite their invasion of privacy that they don’t even try to deny.  I also used Google Photo to make an album to send to my cookie friend to see if I can get a couple of new banners made for me.  He’s a pro and it’s so obvious in his work.   I love to fantasize about my friends.  I should write a new fantasy for my cookie friend one of these days.

I had a nice talk with Melvin about coming to Charlotte.  I really want him to do my first set of nudes and I really want him to shoot a scene with MDS and I.  He’s the perfect person to do it in my mind.   Then I talked to Nikki about shooting with Melvin - he should shoot her, she should shoot him, they should both shoot me (of course), and Nikki also talked about lining up some models she knows and doing a shootout, which I think must mean that they both shoot the same model at the same time from different angles.  Since neither of them seem like gun people or John Wayne, I think that must be what it means.  Anyway, Melvin would be coming to Charlotte as our guest and would stay with us in our home and hopefully will also join us in our cozy, comfy bed, if even just to hang out comfortably.   Who knows what else…  Melvin has a Sir and I have to watch myself from trying to make him Mine.

I came up with a genius idea for a new blog today and now I just have to implement it (buy the domain and set it up).  I can’t let the cat out of the bag yet, but you’ll soon hear about it.  I’m also working on the Quid Pro Quo website, which will soon be moved from WordPress to its own .com domain.  I am going to make a static page for each of our clients and I think it would be nice to blog about it from time to time as well.  I have amazing experiences and conversations with people that others dream of talking to.  It’s good stuff.  I’m leaving everything as a draft at this point until we move it to it’s dot com address.  It’s soooooo much work to move an established blog.  Just don’t make that mistake.  Learn from my earlier mistakes.  Patience over Populating Your Blog if you have any plans to move it at all.

That’s my Sunday.  It’s 6:25 pm.  Busy day.  How was your day?  The image is from Postsecret.com, which you should read every Sunday - it’s one of my favorite days of the week because of Postsecret!
