Victory against the Prostitutes!!
VICTORY AGAINST THE PROSTITUTES!!
All hail the motherfucking Seattle Vice Squad!!! Pardon my sputtering . . .
Here’s the extensive article in the Seattle Times from which I quoted: Prostitution sting leads to 104 arrests.
I’m particularly fond of the condescending tone they take in describing sex work terminology, especially the way they scoff at calling sex workers “providers”. It’s funny how people opposed to prostitution supposedly place such high value on sex and The Body as a temple of inestimable worth, but deny that selling someone sex or access to The Body is “providing” anything. Ya’ll are SINNERS! You provide nothing but devilish temptations of the FLESH! Yer not PROVIDERS, yer HOORS! HOORS, I tell ye — ye’ve turned yer bodies into depraved SHITHOUSES and should be licked by the flames of hell for ETERNITY!”
I also “love” the commander’s justification for squandering city resources on this stupid-ass witch-hunt:
Though some may argue that prostitution and patronizing a prostitute — both misdemeanors — are victimless crimes, Sano doesn’t see it that way: “No young girl grows up dreaming of doing this. These prostitutes are women who have had a rough life, whether they’re addicted to drugs, or they’ve been abused or they have some pimp forcing them into it.
I’d like to sit down with Sano and give him a taste of his own medicine and tell him exactly what I think motivated him to become a proud and infernally stupid leading member of the vice squad. I’d like to tell him exactly what young girls dream of doing when they grow up. I’d like to tell him exactly what I dream of doing to him now. In fact, I would LOVE to DO IT to him now. I’d like to explain to him the difference between streetwalking with a pimp versus independent escorting or escorting for an agency. I’d love to explain to the Seattle Times what objective reporting is and should be, because it sure as fuck isn’t having some perverted bitch with a badge telling people what motivates women to do sex work. Objective reporting is not ending a piece without checking the facts to see if all the women they busted were, as Lt. Clean asserts, addicts with pimps and histories of abuse. I’d like them to point out that it is stings like this one that actually ENCOURAGE women to shell out money to pimps/agencies in attempts to screen out cops. What the fuck ever.

Values-Based Business
VALUES-BASED BUSINESS
I’m really excited to start reading this book I picked up today at the New Age bookstore: Conscious Business: How to Build Value Through Values.
I wear my values on my websites’ sleeves and am probably more conscious and purposeful of integrating my values into my business plan and internet persona, but doing so is not something the porn industry generally acknowledges as “smart”; in fact, it’s the kind of thing internet pornographers mock you for. Oh sure, a lot of them are pretty ethical and having philanthropic hearts, but it’s very rare you see any representation of that on their products or that the end users of those products have any sense of what the porn corporations’ higher values are. Internet pornographers and smut peddlars tend to think of values as distracting elements on porn sites; having values and demonstrating them to consumers is usually limited to the number of pop-up ads they don’t have on their sites, the honesty of their advertising (in terms of the type and amount of content paid membership gets customers, NOT in terms of anything important, like the authenticity of the featured women’s orgasms), and the relative ease a customer has in cancelling his subscription.
Anyway, the fact that our websites aren’t built on gigantic lies about women’s (and men’s) sexuality and the fact that we are “real” on purpose BECAUSE IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO rather than because authenticity is a great “niche” to exploit kind of alienates us from most people in our business. Well, that and the fact that I’m sometimes preachy and critical about these issues, and most smut peddlars don’t appreciate my attitude. The point I’m making is that I have to find affirmation for our business approach elsewhere; usually from members and a few lovely like-minded peers, but sometimes from inspirational books. I love to read mainstream business literature and apply it to my marginalized and disrespected profession.
On top of that, I just like being inspired and injecting some spirit and magic and glowing loveliness and cheesy guidance into my work.
Body Composition
BODY COMPOSITION
Today I walked to my doctor’s office to get a free body composition test; my body fat is 28.2% which is on the high side of average / a little more than the “desirable range” of 20-27%. But the nurse gave me a little extra leeway because I’ve got big boobs. Score!
It’s kind of cool to have a porn site and be able to say, “you are looking at the shape of average when you look at me — I am one version of what healthy and normal looks like”.
I’m totally putting a scan of my body comp results into my members-only area.
Why My Cams Were Down
WHY MY CAMS WERE DOWN
I made this phone post yesterday but must have punched in the wrong numbers so it didn't publish correctly . . . .
P.S. It’s just after six in the morning (which is still the dead of the night from my perspective) so I have no contacts in, just woke up to pee and check to see if our connection came back up and it did so this is the one thing I am fixing before going back to sleep. I also logged in the ballroom cam, but with the ridiculous bullshit plaguing the brilliant new software foisted upon us, it’s hard for me to tell when it’s up or down since there are four or five instances of cams logged in that . . . ummm . . . aren’t, and the tech guy has not responded to my complaint on that issue. NICE.
Today's Fodder
TODAY’S FODDER
In case you just caught me masturbating and wondered what I was watching/listening to for added stimulation, it was a set of video clips a guy shot himself featuring him and his harem of vinyl and otherwise synthetic love dolls. Strange and bizarre as it sounds, this never fails to get me off. I especially love it when he shows closeups of himself tenderly stroking and fingerfucking their fake orifices. I also love the moment when he “enters” them with his cock. The blowjob stuff is also very compelling with the frozen stare of the doll while lube drips rabidly out of her mouth as he facefucks her.
Home Again
HOME AGAIN
Dandy! My sister and I had a jolly time working on our Projects and relaxing, and I was almost glad the van broke down because it meant spending an extra night with my sister plus the squish and Bradle WITH Tucker there too. My nephew is fiendishly delightfully perfectly CUTE!
It’s nice being home and catching up on lost sleep — too bad that new spycam software is so bizarre, though . . . it’s making me wish I had $5k to $15k laying around to hire someone to customize a perfect cam solution for us rather than being at the mercy of other people’s systems all the time. Oh well, for the past four years it’s operated almost flawlessly so I guess I should count my blessings that this is the first time we’ve encountered any problems detectable by viewers.
It’s back to work for us tomorrow . . . but for the rest of this evening I am enjoying crappy television, ranging from the exploitative and emotionally-manipulative Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to Nova’s special on the Turkish Handwalkers (also exploitative but with a special layer of “we’re-so-smart-we’re-STOOPID!” adding to the bizarre comedy). I’m *dying* to see an international version of Extreme Home Makeovers; for one thing, Ty Pennington would have IMMEDIATELY seen that the mutant siblings needed walkers and delivered them unto them. They would have ARRIVED with walkers. For another, it would be nice to see people getting a new house that actually needed one rather than people upgrading from chabby-chic 2000 square feet to top-of-the-Sears-line 4500. I would love to see a nice Muslim family get a visit from the design team.

One thing that sucks about broadcasting voyeurcams with audio: people can hear all of the stupid wrong answers QUESTIONS I give when we’re watching Jeopardy.
Overnight II
OVERNIGHT II
Turns out I’ll be away from home tonight, too, rather than returning as expected: our van broke down. Again. On my sister’s and my special girls’-night-out, my sister had to push the disabled van out of harm’s way. So Tucker is coming to pick us up and whisk us away to Cedar’s house where we will spend the night adoring Mr. Squishy’s sublime squishiness. Be home tomorrow!
Overnight
OVERNIGHT
I’m leaving this afternoon to go hang out with my sister tonight and also see my nephew, Mr. Squishypants; probably won’t be home again until late Monday night, but Tucker will be here.
