I am a very open person, especially when it comes to all things sexual. I will pretty much talk about whatever and am open to trying new things. I also can appreciate and do not frown upon what other people are in to. Who am I to judge what they like to do in their bedroom. I am sure some of the things I do behind closed door might shock and be too much for people. Now that being it said it takes a lot to shock me and make me uncomfortable and leave me completely flabbergasted. Today is the day I have discovered something that I still cannot completely wrap my head around and still haven't completely mentally processed it.

Raise your hand if you have ever wanted to fuck a dragon. Perhaps maybe a werewolf, a stallion or the mythical liger. Well fear not fantasy loving people because thanks to the people at Bad Dragon you can now bang yourself with the dildos and vaginas of many mythical creatures. They are made of very nice silicone, have some nice colors and can cost more than the average dildo.

 I have been staring at this website for I don't even know how long and I am still in stock and a little creeped out by this and who wants to use them. Never once did I think "Oh I would really like to bang myself with a seadragon penis!" Do people actually buy these to use or just to have and creep their friends out with them?

Also I want to know who has the deciding factor on what these mystical creatures' private parts would look like. I guess you can compare the animal to actual ones that exist but still. Some of these are really weird looking and strange. Not only do they have regular dildos but they have ones that squirt too! But what are you going to fill the dragon dildo with? Don't worry they have Bad Dragon cum lube, yes you just read that correctly. Made to look just like the real thing. I wonder if it has sparkles and tastes like candy. I'm guessing that's what dragons cum is like. I have now grossed myself out more.

I think the big thing that creeps me out is the whole animal and bestiality factor. That stuff is never ok in my mind. Not even pretending. I want to talk to people who use these and find out why and what is the draw to them. Why are you being turned on by a werewolf or horse dildo? Someone please explain this to me!

Even though I would never be up for using one of these I am very disappointed there is not unicorn one. For the record I WOULD NEVER BUY A UNICORN DILDO. I would however buy one shaped as a unicorn horn, but that is where I draw the line. Also I would probably never use it but put it in my living to show off to people. Great conversation starter at my next dinner party.

One of the more exciting things I have been able to participate in is being on Kendra Wilkinson's show on We television called "Kendra on Top." I have become the go to person at the company for anything that involves being on camera for anything that we do. It's kind of cool they trust me to represent the company and the image on national television.

Last season I appeared on the show to introduce all the products that we are making for her new Love Candy line. It was lots of fun to be a part of it. Reminded me of my days back in college where I studied TV/Video production and actually have a degree in it. Maybe one day I will actually put that degree to use. But for now I guess I'm stuck in front of the camera talking about sex toys to millions of people.

 To keep reading and to see the clip of me on last season click read more

 Recently I was asked to film again for the next season of her show. We are doing a lot more with the line and I have a feeling you will be seeing me more than once next season. It's always lots of fun to film. I am always running around like a moron trying to figure out what to wear the night before. Last time I filmed the bosses were concerned about me showing my tattoos; this time around I kind of did my own thing and didn't really worry about it. You could only see a little of them on my arms. I did go for some classy cleavage though, got to give the people what they want.

My buddy and coworker Paula joined me for the taping in Beverly Hills. This time we were there to talk about the success of the products and what we are thinking about for the future. Now I can't give you any information on what we talked about but it's going to be lots of fun and huge. Kendra is very excited about it! We have lots of projects in the works and I can't wait for you to see them. My marketing guy always tells me to behave because he is never sure what may come out of my mouth. I tend to say shocking and dirty things from time to time.

Yes Kendra is very nice and lots of fun to work with. She is totally about sex toys and wants to expand her line in big ways. She is very down to earth and says whatever is on her mind; which is extremely entertaining. Hank, her husband, happened to stop by the tapping that day as well. He is also very nice.

So stayed tuned for more updates on future tapings of the show. It is such a delight to be working with Kendra. In case you missed it the first time around check out my spot on the show below!

(unless you live under a rock you already knew this)

At this point anyone that knows me already has heard about my upcoming wedding. My love life and relationship with Brian has been followed by many. To no ones surprise we got engaged right before last Christmas after being together for almost 3 years at that point. It was one of the happiest moments in my life.

So in the midst of all the wedding planning I should have some fun blogs for you! Working on some fun stuff now!

No need to click read more, that's it!  Lucy Vonnehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229196732161959745.post-52444294947561404612013-03-29T10:32:00.000-07:002013-03-29T10:32:11.471-07:00Stop Looking for LoveRecently I feel like I am having the same conversations with my single female friends and their love lives. They are all looking for love and want it bad. It's all they can think about and sometimes obsess about it. It can be frustrating when you get to a certain age and everyone around you is finding the one.

 These days all you see on social networks are your friends getting married and having babies. Being amazingly happy in love and you just want to punch them in the face but are happy for them at the same time. I have been on both ends of the spectrum. Before I found my now fiancé it would drive me crazy seeing so and so is now engaged or popping out another kid. Of course now I am the pain the ass on facebook with my sappy love photos and plans of my wedding.

 To keep reading click read more  Back when I was single, for a time I too would think about finding love all the time. But then I decided to give myself a break and stop looking. Maybe I would get lucky and it would just find me. So I stopped looking, I stopped worrying about it. Because when you least expect it, in a situation you never thought of, it will find you.

 Right after I stopped thinking about love I met the love of my life. Never in a million years did I think my love story would start the way it did but it was the best thing to ever happen to me. It comes and finds you when you least expect it.

 So my advice I keep telling my friends is to stop worrying about it and obsessing about it. Sure it is easier said than done but it does help. Try new things and don't get stuck on the little things when you meet a guy, give him a chance. You never know how it may turn out and the man you thought would be the last man on earth you would like you could fall in love with.

Working in a sex store for a few years you come across a few and have many stories to tell. Since transitioning out of stores and into sales for Evolved Novelties I don't really get those lovely interactions. I still travel and visit stores but don't really interact with the customers.

 The other week I got a flashback to my strange men encounters. I was in West Virginia doing a store training in some remote town. The store I was at is a very big trucker stop since it is right off the Interstate. I had just finished my presentation and was in the back room getting gift bags together. My buddy from System JO was now doing her presentation for the staff and they were all occupied.

I noticed this guy walking back and forth by the door of the back room where I was. I kind of ignored him and kept working. I looked up at one point and caught a glimpse of him. He was your quintessential cowboy trucker. Tall, skinny and much older. Had on a cowboy hat, vest, light jeans, cowboy boots and a handlebar mustache. Here is what went down:

To read what happened click read more

Cowboy: Excuse me, do you guys have an arcade here?

Me: Oh I am not really sure. I don't actually work here; I just work for one of the toy companies. I don't think they do but you should check with one of the actual employees.

Cowboy: Oh ok. It looked like you worked here. (Walks away but comes right back) Because I was gunna say, you are just the cutest little thing I have even seen working in one of these places. You are delicious.

I smiled politely and said thank you. I have learned you don't really want to engage them and keep the conversation going but you also don't want to completely ignore them because then sometimes they get mean and I don't need that. So I gave him my normal smile and thank you routine to end the conversation.

I walked out of the back room to check out the store. I heard him walking behind me.

Cowboy: Man you have the cutest butt, just round and delicious. (He was a fan of the word delicious I guess)

Again a smile, a little laugh and I walked away and tried to look busy. He kept walking around the masturbator section and I walked around the store and into the back room again. I stayed in the back for a few minutes hoping he would get the hint.

I came out again and made my way towards where the other presentation was going on. He was on his way to the counter to check out and was behind me once again. I kind of ignored him but that didn't stop him from his best line yet.

Cowboy: mmmm, I would have such a hard time not following you around town. Man I just want to put my tongue in your ass!

I was not expecting that at all. But as shocked as I was I gave a small smile and walked over to the group of employees listening to the presentation until he was gone. I guess he told the manager when he was paying that he wanted to take me home too.

I find this all pretty hilarious. It's funny too because after he made his "ass" comment for a second in my mind I thought "aw that was sweet of him to say……. Wait no I don't want him thinking those things about me!" Leave it to me to take that as a compliment. Ah creepy men in sex stores, make life so much more interesting.

Mainly because it took me FOREVER to get it done. Not like I did that on purpose. So much travel with work and the boyfriend also gone for work, he was a rather important part of the reviewing process. So for the length of time it took me to get this up, people at Lelo I am sorry. You know how much I love you and your toys, they are some of my favorites! I don't know how many I have at this point. And they always get the job done.

To read the review click read more

Surprisingly this is the first couples toy like this I have ever tried. I have a We Vibe somewhere but just never got down to using it. Mainly because I really don't have a desire to use toys like these when I am having sex, I don't really need them. Sex on it's own is perfect. Sure sometimes we will try out toys but when it comes down to it we prefer just us. But that being said I was pretty pumped when I got the Tiani 2 from Lelo.

The main purpose of this toy is for the female to wear during sex for added stimulation. The main motor is in the clitoral piece and it comes with two internal piece options. One has more of a curve to hit the g spot. This toy has so many cool features. Of course as always with Lelo toys it is made of high grade platinum silicone and is completely rechargeable. Bonus with this toy is it is waterproof, has a wireless remote and is made with Lelo's SenseMotion technology. This technology is pretty cool, when you move the remote from side to side it controls the vibrations in the piece that the lady wears. My boyfriend was most excited about that, he thought it was awesome.

First I decided to try the toy out on my own, my boyfriend had the remote while he was outside smoking. It has really nice power and the vibe is more of a rumble which I really liked. It's not the strongest toy I have so I wasn't sure how fast I was going to orgasm but it did the trick super quick. I just kept going. My boyfriend joked when I had it in it looked like I had a two toned clitoris. I really enjoyed it for masturbation. The only downside was that I felt no vibration on the internal piece, it was all in the main piece on the clit.

Then it came to trying it out with the penis. I can see why people would love using toys like these during sex, but for me and my boyfriend it just wasn't our thing. It was interesting but we were very aware that it was there. So while this wasn't really my thing for sex it could be yours because it is still an awesome toy. But I do really love it for masturbation. Plus Brian really likes that he can control it from around the house or if we go out. It's much more compact and comfortable than the majority of remotes eggs and underwear they have these days. This toy is a keeper for sure!

Not one is perfect and if someone says theirs is they are full of shit. I have the most wonderful relationship that I can imagine but it isn't perfect. There are things we work on every day. There are days when I want smack him upside the head and I am sure the same goes for him. But in the end we love each other and the kinks we always work out and our relationship becomes better and stronger because of that.

A big thing about making a relationship work is compromise. If you go into something thinking everything that you know is right and how it should be your relationship will fail. All relationships are different and work in different ways. Your way can't always be how everything works. You need to talk about things with your other half and figure out how to make your differences work.

 If you don't like something your partner is doing or how they handle a certain situation you should always tell them. For all you know they may think what they are doing or saying is no big deal and not an issue. Maybe they fold the laundry strange or they say things they think are funny and hurt your feelings. It's different for everyone. I know in my relationship we have made all sorts of comprises. Everything from small things to major things. It's what you do when you want something to work. You don't give up and walk away.

 Example, which is what made me think of writing this, I love getting fresh flowers. It's just a nice simple gesture you can do for a person. My boyfriend thinks giving flowers is stupid and pointless. A commercial for edible arrangements came on and I got really excited and said one day he needs to get me one of those. He went into his thing about how he doesn't like those things. My response was this; "just because you don't like something doesn't mean I don't like it to. It is something that will make me happy and you love me and want to make me happy. This isn't just about you and what you like, this is also about me and what I like. So think about that when it comes to things like this."

 In the end compromises can be something really big or something simple like getting someone flowers. Whatever it is you should always come to an agreement that will make both of you happy. And on that note I am still trying to convince Brian to one day surprise me with flowers. But for the record he does surprise me all the time with cute gestures.

People are always surprised to hear I didn't start playing with myself until I was about 23 and working at a sex store. I guess you could say over the past few years I have made of for lost masturbation time. I used to do it almost every day. These days it's not as frequent since I live with my boyfriend and his penis is always around for me to play with. But I still get in plenty of me time when he isn't around.

But lately I have been noticing something different when I am done masturbating; it's not doing it for me anymore. But first let me be clear. I am still giving myself multiple orgasms each time and getting off. But when all is said and done I'm not satisfied like I used to be, I am left wanting more. And not just more masturbating time, all I can then think about is having a penis in me. I need the real thing.

 click read more to keep reading

I want to be pounded and kissed and made to cum until I can't move, and toys just aren't doing that for me. Giving myself an orgasm is one thing but there is so much more to sex than just that and all those things are what I am left wanting after spending quality time with my Hitachi. Back in the day I could masturbate all I wanted and feel completely satisfied. But now for about a year now I finish and get the strongest urge for my boyfriend's penis.

I have thought about why this must be. Pretty much my only conclusion is the fact I am in a relationship and get sex on pretty regular bases. Regular meaning however may times a day I can take his pants off and molest the crap out of him. If I had my way it would be multiple times a day but sometimes he needs a water break.

I've been spoiled with around the clock sex and have gotten used to that. When I was younger and not in a relationship it was much different. I wasn't used to having sex all the time and masturbation was my main source of satisfaction. Now it certainly can get me off but doesn't leave me satisfied. My vagina has gotten used to the constant penis and prefers that over some plastic vibrating contraption. <

I will never stop masturbating and giving myself orgasms. Apparently times are changing over here at Lucy Vonne's vagina and she is getting more demanding about what plays with her. We will always love our sex toys and will never give them up. But it seems the only thing now that will completely satisfy me and my vagina is a real live penis! Now I have come to realize there is a very big difference in getting off vs. being satisfied.

Luckily for my I have a live in boyfriend by the name of Brian Street Team, who I may have mentioned on here a time or two. The great man that he is, he has graciously tried out a fleshlight and written a review for you. Click read more to read his penis adventure.

So I'm sitting there in my living room staring at this thing. It looks like an overgrown gold flash light staring me in the face. When it comes to masturbation I'm usually pretty old fashioned, pop in a porno or hop on the internet, pull the teamis out, play a little rub and tug for a few minutes, bust out some knuckle children, clean up and call it a day. That is until I got a lovely package from the people at Fleshlight. They were gracious enough to send me the Stamina Training Unit (STU) version of their world renowned male masturbator.

So I continue to stare at this nearly foot tall, Real Feel Super Skin, jack off device. On the case it comes in it reads "If you can last 10 minutes in the STU, you can last 20 minutes in bed with anyone". This to me was a challenge. And since this was not my run of the mill "me time" I was about to experience I decided to make it a little special. I lit some candles, popped in one of my favorite pornos AND went to one of my favorite porn sites on the internet. I wanted the full sensation and the up most arousal to optimize the wang training I was about to endeavor.

I worked myself up a bit first, old school style, (the Fleshlight doesn't really work with a non-erect penis), added a healthy amount of the provided Wet Lube to the top of my STU, noted the time on my laptop screen and went to town. Instantly I knew lastly ten whole minutes would be a challenge. The specifically designed inner sleeve was made for you to orgasm, and FAST. I had to pace myself, trying to not go to fast with my stroking and even stopping in order to make the ten minute time mark. One of the really neat things about the STU is that if the amazing insides of this pleasure chest aren't enough you can control the suction on the device by wrapping your finger around the top cap to create even MORE sensation and in my opinion simulate a female orgasm.

Now I did my best to hold out for the entire ten minutes, it was more like eight and half minutes. The feeling was just so good!! Now I've been lucky enough to have some fantastic vaginas (including the most fantastic of them all being Lucy's vagina) and I must say the STU is a very close second. The only downfall I see in the whole thing is the clean up. Now if you don't have enough self control to pull out and bust your nut into your favorite gym sock, clean up is a bit of a pain. My advice is taking the inner sleeve out of the case and rinsing the inside real well with some warm water. Then let it dry all the way before placing it back in the outer case. It's a bit of a hassle to do as soon as you're done JOing but it help make your new favorite toy last a lot longer. The STU is a for sure buy if you're a fan of playing with yourself. Go ahead and do yourself (or your man) a favor and get one for those nights when you're at home alone and need a little "me time" Lucy Vonnehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229196732161959745.post-6068794643621895092012-04-11T15:06:00.003-07:002012-04-11T15:15:30.055-07:00I'M BACK!!!I'M BACK TO POSTING!!! I know it has been so long since I have posted something. Mainly the reason was something happened to all my pictures on here and they all went blank. I didn't want to spend the time posting when the site didn't look right. But to fix it I had to sit myself down and fix all of the photos which is going to take some time. Finally got myself going and working on fixing it! But I will be posting again on a regular basis starting now!

Granted it's not as much as I used to watch (because I'm friends with so many people and can't watch them bang anymore on camera) but I still love me some dirty fucking on film. But I also have an issue with how people like to categorize porn for women. It is such a tiny category and directed at such a limited audience. It's always romance and soft and sweet, well for me I say screw that.

I hate all movies that usually fall under the porn for women category. Sure sometimes the stories are nice and try to be funny and sometimes entertaining, but majority of the time I am bored. But what I really get bored with is the sex. The soft sweet and simple sex I see on camera, that's not what I want to see at all. I want hardcore fucking. Watching people have sweet sex doesn't turn me on. Sure I love to have slow and loving sex with Brian sometimes which obviously turns me on but I don't care to watch it on screen.

Now I am not saying there aren't women out there who don't like the typical porn movies made for women. What I can't stand is how people complain there is nothing out there for a woman to watch and enjoy and that it is all geared towards men. Yeah most of it is geared towards men but who is to say that women aren't into it also. First of all women don't all want the same thing so you can't target all of them with one movie. Yes a lot of women want a story and some substance but other want to get right to the action. They don't want bad acting and stupid story lines they want hardcore fucking. Depending on what kind of mood I'm in determines what kind of porn I like. Just like they target movies to different types of men they need to target different types of women. Today it's more about targeting anyone who likes a particular style not just men or women.

I want the choking, slapping, spitting and roughness. I want to watch two hot sweaty bodies of people who are really into each other completely devouring each other. I want real sex. I don't need a story to like porn; I want to see the fucking. I think the porn for women category needs to open up more. Do a dirty hardcore fucking film with all really hot guys and girls that women can relate to. Maybe have a story or maybe not or do both. I worked in sex store for a long time selling DVDs to women and have a lot of girl friends who watch porn; I know I am not alone in my thinking. A lot of girls like hardcore.

One thing all women can agree on is thank god there are better looking men in porn then there used to be. I can't watch a scene if I think the guy is ugly; I will skip right through it. I know a lot of other women who are like that too. Yeah not every woman likes the same type of guy but we all don't like ugly ones. There are some extremely hot guys now in porn. Lucky me I actually know most of them now, including snagging one for my boyfriend.

I all I want is the porn for women category to open up and be more adventurous. I believe it might be starting to but nothing has really caught my attention yet. For now I will stick to the studios I know I like and who use hot men. It's been working so far for me.

The only ones I have read talk about the negative effects it has - how porn can destroy a relationship and tear people apart. I have never seen anything done on the positive effects it can have on a relationship.

I can agree that in some instances porn can be harmful to a relationship, but I equal it to someone who has a problem with alcohol or drugs or even someone who works too much. There are many types of excess in the world that can harm a relationship and porn is always made an example because of its subject matter. Sure there are many websites about how porn destroys people and has caused so many breakups. But where are the websites about how someone being a workaholic can destroy a relationship, or someone who is obsessed with video games? I just hate how porn gets singled out as the most scandalous thing to harm a relationship.

But porn can do damage to a relationship. There are many extremes to how bad it can get including porn addiction which can be very destructive. But usually there are more deep-rooted issues and the porn is just what the outside world sees as the culprit. Porn is just aiding the issue, but isn't real issue that needs to be fixed.

You should be careful how much you let porn infiltrate your real life lovemaking. It's never good when you compare your partner to the person that you are seeing on the screen. It may make them feel uncomfortable and insecure. If you say something like "why can't you be more like so and so?" you might get smacked up side the head!

One negative side effect of porn is that sometimes people believe everything that happens in porn should happen in real life - that porn is the only way one should have sex. If you read my piece "I Am Not A Porn Star" you will know what I am talking about. I feel there are two sides to learning from porn. I have learned so many fun new things to try out with my boyfriend from watching porn - it has really opened up my eyes to new things I might like and would really be into. But I also remember that not everyone will be into that. When you start pressuring your partner to try something you saw in the movies or believe that whatever happens on the screen is what everyone wants you may run into some roadblocks.

Porn can make someone more adventurous. It can open your eyes to all sorts of new moves and tricks. Lots of times I have helped couples pick out a porn movie to spice things up. They want to try something new to liven up their boring sex life. Why not watch a porn movie where all sorts of fun stuff happens? They might see something they had never thought of and open up a whole new world for their sex lives. They might be freakier than they thought.

It can also help introduce toys into a relationship. Not all couples know how to use a sex toy together. There are so many things you can do with sex toys and sex, but hey, not everyone is as creative as me. People need some visual aid sometimes and by watching a movie that has toys in it, they can learn how to add some extra fun to their sexy times. Particularly with guys who don't want to use toys, porn can show them how it works, helping them become more open to the idea.

No matter what your age and experience, people still need to learn how to do certain things, and there are many educational porn movies out there. There aren't really a lot of sex classes available, but one can now watch a "How To" movie about different sexual techniques and ideas. You can learn all about blow jobs and positions and how to make a girl squirt. You can watch in the comfort of your own home and become an expert.

Porn lets someone live out his or her fantasy. They can see what they most desire on screen. Now this can be done together or alone. It's been said by watching porn people can live out their fantasies and not have to stray from the relationship. They don't need to leave home to find what they really want when they are not getting it with their partner. Maybe they are too scared to share what they like and only want to do it alone. By watching porn they can do that without looking for another person. But it can also help a person share his or her fantasies with their partner. By showing other people experiencing it, it might make the other party more comfortable in trying it out.

In the end it just matters what you and your partner think of porn. Thankfully my boyfriend loves watching porn as much as I do! If you aren't sure, talk to the other person. You may be surprised at what you find out!

Vibratex always puts out quality toys and this one is no different. The Budding Bliss and I are now friends. First of all the toy just looks pretty, I really like the rose on the clitoral piece of the toy. It's made of silicone and feels awesome. Silicone can have many different feelings and the feeling this one has is a very silky smooth feeling. It's so soft I would make sheets for my bed out of it.

The head of the toy is nice because it hits the g spot when inside which always feels really great. You can also control the shaft and clitoral piece independently so you can change things up a bit. It's splash proof to make clean up easy and should be used with a water based lube.

I did really enjoy this toy. Internally it felt really great and hit my g spot. The clitoral piece didn't completely sell me. It was very strong and felt great but didn't sit quite right on my clitoral area. But that's just my body so it may very well fit someone else much better. So while I think it is a great toy, the one part of it just didn't really work for me. But I totally recommend this toy to anyone who thinks they may be in the market for a dual vibe!

I really like the concept of the company this toy came from, Wet For Her. It's a lesbian company making toys designed for lesbians. Trying to stay in tuned with a woman's body when they design the toys. The Two is 100% silicone and phthalate free which is great. Silicone harbors no bacteria and is non-porous. It holds body temperature well and won't deteriorate over time like most other materials might.

With all those great aspects being said I did not like this toy, it did not work for me. I figured it would be great to use on my own to extend my fingers and really hit my g spot. That was not really the case. The toy was not stiff enough to put pressure where I wanted it, it just bent back. It was just kind of awkward to use. I can only think the same would happen if someone else was using it on me. I don't really know if this would work for other people but I am not convinced with it.

I also felt kind of like a Muppet when I put it on my fingers. Once I realized that I really couldn't take the toy seriously. All in all this toy just did nothing for me. Like I said I like the concept but performance wise it fell short.

I actually gave it to my puppy Boba Fett as a new chew toy. He thinks it's great and plays with it all the time now. The material is super durable so he hasn't chewed through it yet. It's pretty funny watching him run around my apartment with it in his mouth. At least this toy will get some use around my house.

The minute I saw this line of toys from Crystal Delights I knew I had to have one. I was at the Lingerie show in Vegas and stumbled upon the toys at a booth. It was love at first sight. I was so excited when I got one in the mail. I couldn't wait to try it out.

These plugs are so beautiful I almost want to leave them out for display, no big deal just decorating my coffee table with butt plugs that sparkle. They are made out of medical grade pyrex glass, I only use glass toys that are made of this. Each plug has a big Swarovski crystal on the bottom. I have always wanted a jeweled butt plug, to use for special occasions of course. The great thing about glass is how smooth and slick it is, especially when you use it with lube. Glides in and out so easily. These come with a great velvet pouch to store them in also.

To keep reading about jewels in my butt click read more

Usually with plugs I use them to stretch and get ready for anal sex, but this plug deserves more than just that. This is a plug to have on display in my booty when having sex. So that was just what I was going to use it for. Brian wasn't home when I decided to use it but I knew he would be home soon. He typically is excited when he comes home to me with playing with toys waiting for him. So I lubed it up and put it into place. I used my new cooling lube which made my booty all tingly and cool, it was pretty awesome.

I twittered about using the plug hoping Brian would see it before he got home and he would know what he was in for. Of course he did, so when he got home he came up behind me and felt the plug. My response was "You want to go for a treasure hunt?" Get it, jeweled plug and treasure hunt.....yeah I am clever.

Next thing you know the sex is happening. The great thing about having a plug in when having sex is sometimes the guys can feel the plug through the vaginal wall for added stimulation. We started out with Brian on top and it was feeling pretty awesome. Then I wanted to move into doggie for visual effects since the plug was in. While it felt really good, with the size of the base of the plug and how I am built, Brians penis kept sliding against it. That wasn't the most pleasant feeling so we switched back to him on top. That way worked out much better.

Overall this plag is pretty amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. These little babies are great. I want to wear them for all special occasions. Plus they sparkle, and we all know how I like things that sparkle.

This is about all my past relationships and honesty in general.

There are many things you need in a relationship to make it work. One of the most important things is honesty. Honesty to me can make or break a relationship. It can bring out the best in people and it can bring out the worst. Honesty can change your opinion of someone in a matter of seconds. To me, without honesty in a relationship you will never last.

Honesty in my past relationships have been shitty. I have been hurt and lied to way too many times. I have been lied to about cheating and lied to about drugs, to mention a few, but those are the big ones. I was not getting honest answers to my questions about these matters when I asked. All I wanted was the truth. It's frustrating when you asking someone for the answer and you already know the truth and they lie to you.

To keep readying click read more

My mistake was believing after them being honest with me that they would continue being honest. But that was never the case. Again I would be lied to and hurt. After awhile you finally learn it will never end and change and move on. Because of my past relationships it is hard for me to trust someone again after they have hurt me. It takes a really long time for that trust to be restored. I believe because of what has happened in the past that it will happen again.

It's really hard when someone has lied a few times about the same thing or wasn't completely honest over and over. So if before you told me you were going to be honest from now on and then surprise surprise you lied, how am I supposed to believe you this time when you say you are going to be honest from now on? It fucks with my mind and that's not the way to get me to trust you. You can't get mad at me when I question things and have doubts; you only have yourself to blame.

The reality is I would rather someone be honest with me and hurt me than lie to me. You are only hurting me more by not being honest. Let me decide what I want to do with the information, don't you decide for me. It's even worse if you are dishonest with me about something and I soon find out on my own the truth, then I am hurt even more. Shit doesn't stay hidden no matter how hard you try. The truth comes out eventually.

For me it seems every relationship I fall into I have issues with honesty. Whether it's not happening when it should be or I am not sure if I believe what is going on is honest. But I am always honest with the people that I love. I give them that respect because I expect and deserve the same behavior. Don't make promises about this to make me happy if you don't expect to keep them, which only causes more hurt.

Relationships can be tough. Every day they are growing and changing, sometimes good and sometimes bad. But I fully believe to make it and have a strong bond there needs to be complete honesty. I am always completely honest with my now boyfriend, I only hope he does the same. We always tell each other everything and what's going on in our lives.

I don't know how some people do it. If I were not truthful to someone I loved it would eat me alive. I would feel awful. I don't care what it is about; knowing that I was hurting someone I love would make me sick inside.

My advice is to just lay everything on the table, good or bad. You don't know how the other person may react. They may think your thoughts and ideas are something they want to partake in. But don't ever keep them from your partner that does no good. Whatever the matter is just put it out there. In the end honesty may make or break any relationship.

That is not to say I am not happy in life and things are going well. I am working at my dream job, in a relationship with the most amazing man, have the cutest puppy and my life is pretty amazing. But there are times when I do put on that face and I don't let people see the negative behind the scenes.

My boyfriend does porn. This is no surprise to anyone in my life, I don't hide it. I am not ashamed of him for it or love him any less. He is the most wonderful man I know and I am truly lucky to have him in my life. I knew the situation when we started dating; it was because of porn we met. I knew I could handle the situation and we talked about it and how things would work. It is not a career choice for him; he has a regular 9-5 job that he plans to make a career out of. It is just a hobby.

To keep reading click read more.

I get asked all the time how it is to be in a situation like this. How do I handle it and do I get jealous. The questions never end. Honestly it can get annoying being asked so many times about it. But I always answer with a smile on my face and tell them it's not a big deal and it is only work. That it never bothers me. When they truth is yes it sometimes can bother me, I am only human. When it comes down to it, a lot of it has to do with my own insecurities.

In the beginning when we started dating and it wasn't serious yet it was super easy to handle. But then you fall in love with someone. You move in with each other and talk future and marriage and a family. You start to think about your life and how you are more invested in this person. There is more to lose then there was before.

90% of the time dealing with it is a piece of cake. But like I said sometimes it can be hard and it gets to me. It's hard to work in this business and not compare yourself to all the girls; that can be really hard on a girl's self-esteem. When he goes to work with some of these girls I get self-conscious and think in the back of my head what happens if he likes her better than me. What if she is prettier and in better shape? There are many girls out there who are physically better than me and he works with them on set.

I have also dealt with girls not respecting the fact that he has a girlfriend he goes home to. I know he flirts with girls; I flirt with guys sometimes too. But sometimes girls don't take it just as flirting and want to try stuff. Or they completely know about me and have met me and don't care. I have no respect for women like that. If we had an open relationship that would be on thing but we don't. Really ladies, how many naked pictures must you send my boyfriend? You aren't going to get anywhere with it. I see them when they pop up on his phone when he gets them, doesn't make a girl feel good. Some of the things I have heard girls say to him I would never even think about saying to someone who had a girlfriend. To me that totally crosses a line. Maybe my morals are just different.

I try not to think about it. I don't watch his scenes or anything like that. He knows not to put it in my face; he is very respectful about that. I will ask him how his day was and how things went. He doesn't give me details, which is fine by me because I don't want to know. I have and always will be supportive of what he wants to do. As long as he wants to do porn I will support him.

For the record I do not hate the fact that Brian does porn. If he never did porn we would have never met. I would never demand him to stop doing it. I am not that type of person; he can do what he wants with his life. I will never love him any less for it. We are perfectly fine as a couple and this would never end us. I still think of it as only work for him and so does he. Most of the time I hardly think about it. But I won't lie that sometimes it can be hard on me.

In the end I know he loves me and he tells me all the time. He tells me I am the only one for him and that will never change. I know this is true and I need to get over my fears but it is not something that happens overnight. He knows on days that he does scenes I might need an extra kiss or an extra "I love you." He can tell on the days that it bugs me and gets to me. I have always been very self-conscious and I am working on it. But in the end, none of it all really matters to me. All that matters is I continue to have this wonderful man in my life that is meant for me in every way.

The majority of the women out there are also not and will never be in porn. In society these days it is not uncommon for some men to assume the women that they sleep with and have relationships with are going to act like porn stars. They think they we will do all the things they see on camera, and say the same things and groom the same way. They think porn is real life.

The reality is that porn is fantasy. Not that it's bad or wrong. It's not always what happens in real life. And it's not everyone's cup of tea. It should not dictate how you make love. I will admit there have been some things I have seen on screen and really wanted to try out and think would be really fun. But never have I expected my partner to want to do it. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. Just because you like something and majority of people also do doesn't mean the person in your bed agrees.

In no way am I saying don't mimic anything you see in porn. Like I said before I have seen things I wanted to try out. What I am saying is please never assume I will do everything you see porn girls do. In particular there are a few things I always hear people talking about they don't want to do, but men assume they will because they see it on camera.

To keep reading click read more.

Please don't cum on my face. I am seriously not a big fan of it. Mainly more for inconvenience than not really liking it. It is such a pain to clean up if it is all over your face and it messes up your make up. Sometimes you are not always in a situation where you can fix everything up right after. Some girls love having guys cum all over their faces; good for them. It is not my thing. I have only ever let one man cum on my face and that is my current boyfriend and it has only happened once or twice. He knows I am not a fan so he never assumes I will do it.

Thank god bush is making a comeback. Personally for me if I have nothing down there I feel like a child and it makes me uncomfortable. Thankfully also my boyfriend is a big fan of bush. But until recently girls in porn always were completely bare down there. I knew guys who would say they were grossed out by any pubic hair because of what they have seen in the movies. Sure sometimes if there is a full on bush and no grooming what so ever it can be a bit much. But if there is a good sized landing strip and everything else is smooth what is the big deal? Don't expect the vagina always to be bare when you and it first meet.

Not everyone likes anal. I however do like anal but it is not for everyone. I like to say don't knock it until you try it but some have tried and they aren't into it. Don't force the subject if the other party isn't down. Going along with that, saliva does not equal lube. Especially for anal! There is really no natural lubrication in the anus so you always need to have lube. I always use lube when playing around back there. I don't want to hurt myself and tear anything. ALWAYS USE LUBE FOR BUTT SEX! And only do butt sex if the other person agrees.

A few other things; not all girls want to have sex with other girls and have threesomes, not all girls like to be choked and slapped, not all girls love mouth fucking and not all girls cum from only internal stimulation.

But not only do guys always assume things when they watch porn; girls will too. Most guys do not last as long as they do on screen. Trust me, there are a whole of other things going on while on set and it appears they go longer. Trust me I know, my boyfriend does porn and sex at home is so completely different than it is on screen. So ladies don't assume anything about the men folk either.

In the end I would just like people to realize that everyone is different and wants different things. Please don't let porn dictate how you are having sex. Sure you can learn new fun tricks and you might find things that you want to try but it is not reality and it is not the only way to do it.

Way back when I first started my site I talked about the Hitachi Magic wand and how I really wanted one. Well that magical day has finally come and I finally am the proud owner of my own wand. It was a very happy day and when the package came in the mail Brian said his boyfriend duties just got a lot easier. Little did he know I was going to be using it on him too, you know what I mean.

For those of you that live under a rock and don't know what a Hitachi Magic wand is then you are missing out. In the real world it is just a back massager. But those who know better know all the other wonderful things you can do with it. Now don't get me wrong, it makes a fantastic back massager. But since it's debut women have been using this wand as a first rate vibrator.

It plugs into the wall so never have to worry about grabbing batteries or recharging. This thing has some power, and I just don't mean regular power, I mean some crazy strong power. It has two speeds of 6000 and 5000 rpm, yes please! Plus there is even a one year warranty. Hopefully I don't burn this thing out in a year and need to use it. But hey you never know, my vagina is rather demanding.

I was a little scared to use the wand. Everyone kept telling me it will change my life and I will love it. I was afraid if I used the wand a lot I would get used to the super powerful vibe and not be able to use anything else to get off. On a daily basis I use all sorts of vibrators with different speeds and levels of power but nothing to the extent of the power of the wand. I didn't want to vibrate my clit numb. Now I know that really isn't possible but still!

A lot of people were surprised I didn't already have one. You would think someone who does what I do would have all the important sex toy elements. But I am still building my collection to this day. But I am stoked this wand is now part of the collection.

The first thing that happened when I opened my magic wand was Brian wanted a back massage with it. So we went back and forth using the wand on each others backs. Well it was really more me using it on Brian and then using it on my own back. This happened a few times before it was put to real use.

My first experience with the wand was by myself. Even though there were two speeds I automatically put the wand on the highest speed. The minute it hit my clit I started to feel things. The power was really awesome. The funny thing was how I orgasmed. I figured with something of that power I would orgasm a lot faster than normal. But to my surprise it took me the same amount of time to reach orgasm. The difference in my orgasm was how strong it was. With the wand my clitoral orgasm was much more powerful then it usually is when I use a vibrator. It was pretty sweet.

The next time I used the wand I had some help. I told Brian I would be in the bedroom if he needed me, he always knows what that means. A few minutes after playing with myself he came in with his normal devilish grin he has on his face when he catches me masturbating. In no time his pants were off and his penis was out. I went to put it away but he stopped me and wanted to use it on me.

I had other plans. I decided to use it on him. I took the wand and while I was giving Brian a blowjob I put the wand on his perineum. It was a little strange for me only because the wand is so powerful it was making his penis vibrate as I was sucking on it. Which realistically means I could turn his penis into a vibrating penis to have sex with, must remember for next time.

Brian won't always admit it but he is a fan of me playing around down there. He was a big fan of having the Hitachi down there on his perineum. In his words, "It was pretty rad!" I am going to have to use it on him more often.

In the end I highly recommend the Hitachi magic wand to anyone and everyone. It has stayed plugged in next to my bed since I got it!

Not only in terms of selling products but also in terms of selling/branding yourself. Over the past few years I have branded myself as a sex blogger. In many situations sex bloggers will keep themselves private and hidden behind their words, even using fake names. This is to keep their real identity a secret; you never know who might stumble upon your writing. When I started blogging I didn't really care who knew what I did, I use my real name and it's always me in my pictures. Throughout the years as I got recognized as a writer I also got sexualized.

This is actually a debate I have had with family members and friends many times since I have started. When I was a little girl I was taught that it is a bad thing to let men sexualize you and only see you as a sexual object. That if men do see you like that they have no respect for you. Even today from people I am told the same thing. I shouldn't put myself out there as a sex object and I should be ashamed if I do and if I do then I have no respect for myself.

To keep reading click read more!

If some guy or girl wants to look at me as a sex object than I have no problem with that. Sexualize me all you want, I have no one else but myself to blame for it. I am the one that put me out in the world in that manner. I openly talk about my sex life and have done nude modeling. I am all out there for the world to see. One of the reasons I put my physical self out there is because I knew it would broaden my audience of readers, and it has.

I have the utmost respect for myself. Just because I don't mind if some guy thinks of me as a sex object doesn't mean I don't know my self-worth. I take it as a compliment when people praise my sexualness. I have gotten quite a few messages from guys and girls telling me I was their masturbation material for that evening. Someone once told me I should be disgusted when I hear things like that. In reality it makes me smile and giggle. It's nice to know I have that power with my body. I get letters from women saying they wish they could be as open and out there like I am and that I should be proud of it.

It's not a bad thing to be sexualized by someone. If someone does it in a manner you personally think is degrading than I agree in that instance it's not appropriate. But what is degrading and crossing the line for some people might be perfectly fine for someone else. I am simply saying for myself I have no issue with it and if you too have no issue with it then there is nothing wrong with that. Don't let other people's beliefs that are different than your own make you feel bad about the decisions you have made.

In the end all I am really saying is don't feel bad for being portrayed as a sexual being if you yourself see nothing wrong with it. Embrace it and feel proud. Sexualize me all you want, I have no issue with it. I also have no issue using the fact that people sexualize me to further myself and my writing and gain more exposure. When it comes down to it who is going to get more readers, the writer who is anonymous or the writer who is a bit more out there and risqué? In no way am I hurting myself or disrespecting myself, I am just being myself.

It came to me while I was masturbating one day, it's when I do my best thinking. Lately when I have been masturbating I like to put on some background music. I can go for quite some time while having me time, so I usually hear quite a few songs in the process. Well I began to notice that even while I had my music on shuffle the same song kept popping up. This for a while didn't really mean anything to me, until my great idea came to me, and then I came.

A few years ago I read this article that really interested me and I didn't believe it could be true. It was about this girl who gave herself a challenge. She decided she was only going to masturbate to one song and only one song. Just put it on repeat and go to town for as long as she wanted. Now the goal of this challenge was to see if she could train herself to get to a point that just hearing the song would get her all hot and heavy and cause her to orgasm without doing anything. Basically a naughtier version of Pavlov's theory.

I am not sure how long she conducted this experiment but I know in the end it pretty much worked. I think she was in the car with friends when she heard the song and things started to happen. Which sounds like a pretty awesome experiment if you ask me.

I am still debating on which song I should use as my inspiration. I am thinking it should be an upbeat song one would dance to. Something that when I hear it, it makes me happy, and hopefully will make me super happy if this thing works out. Of course if it does work out I will be doomed every time I hear it no matter where I am.
Guess this means I better get cracking at rubbing one out to only one song. I think if I do it daily I should be on the right track to making it work. I mean I already pretty much do it daily (on top of all the sex) so I might as well add a sound track too it. Maybe I should even play the song when Brian and I are having sex…….

The day I found out that my body could do this glorious act, sex was never the same. I had always known about it and of course had seen it happen in movies. But until I had actually experienced it I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

Squirting is the more commonly known term for female ejaculation. When a lady ejaculates a clear watery fluid comes out of her urethra. No you are not peeing, which is what a lot of people think it actually is. Typically a woman will squirt when she has g spot stimulation. This is because the g spot, when stimulated, activates the production of the ejaculate by the paraurethral glands. If you are worried about peeing you should empty your bladder beforehand.

To keep reading about squirt click read more!

It does feel like you have to pee at first, but trust me it is not pee. Before I knew what was going on in my body I thought I was going to pee so I tensed up. But thanks to my sexual adventures and gaining of sexual knowledge I learned what that feeling really was. You need to relax and push past that feeling. If you have emptied your bladder beforehand then you don't need to worry about peeing by mistake.

Getting in touch with your PC muscles plays a big part in helping one ejaculate. You can do PC muscle exercises to strengthen them. Knowing how they work with your body and when they are tight or relaxed will help you when it comes time to ejaculate. A lot of times I find myself having the feeling of wanting to squirt but if my muscles are all tense it won't happen. I have learned to relax down there and contract my muscles letting the ejaculate flow, sometimes gush, out.

 Many women think when you orgasm you should ejaculate. Therefore when nothing comes out and they orgasm they think it isn't real. A lot of women also have trouble finding their g spot, which is turn, makes it hard for them to squirt. Every woman has the tools to learn how to squirt but it can be difficult for some to do.

Brian has become a master at making me squirt. The first time he did it he was so excited and proud of himself. I had only really squirted once before Brian, now because of Brian I am squirting all the time. He knows exactly what position to put me in where his penis hits my g spot directly. It helps that his penis curves to the left which makes it perfect for g spot. The minute I get on top of him and assume the position, it is only a matter of time before the squirting begins. We have also discovered I squirt a lot quicker if he fingers me and stimulates my g spot that way beforehand.

The amount of ejaculate that comes out is always what baffles people too. Not everyone is going to have the same amount of ejaculate come out. It is different for me every time. There have been moments where just a small amount comes out. There have also been moments where it looks like I have wet the bed. Brian has said he saw it gush out of me and in his words, "It was Rad!" That is also another reason people think it is fake. Because they see all this liquid come out of a woman and it seems like too much to be real. But trust me, it is.

I once hit Brian in the eye with squirt. Now it didn't shoot out of me and hit him. But there was so much coming out of me and all over his stomach that when my body came down as I was bouncing on him it hit some and sent it to his eye. He thought it was pretty cool. It delights me to know how excited and happy he gets with himself when I squirt.

The feeling I have when I squirt is literally all over my body. My squirting usually happens when I orgasm. Because of all that is happening my orgasms then tend to be so intense and mind blowing. I am pretty much yelling and screaming. Sometimes I can't even express myself with words and I just hit the bed or Brian's leg trying to express something. For me it is much more intense than just a clitoral orgasm. When I am done I usually just collapse on top of Brian and can't move for a minute. And my vagina stays all tingly after, it's a wonderful thing.

So if you have experienced the magic that is squirting then congratulations. For those of you that haven't don't worry if you haven't yet and you really want to. Work on it and practice and you may achieve your goal. I myself like to practice every day!

I have probably tried a few hundred sex toys by now, and I am not slowing down anytime soon. People always wonder what my toy box looks like. Well to be honest it's not really a box but an entire night stand next to my bed full of stuff. I don't keep everything I try, only the ones I really like and will use on a regular basis. But if you want to have the perfect toy box there are a few staple items that you should have. Over the years I have built my perfect toy box.

I was 23 when purchased my first toy and started masturbating. People are always amazed when they hear I didn't start until then. But let me tell you, I have totally made up for lost time. In the past 4 years I have probably masturbated more than some people do in their life time. And here are the tools of my sexual adventures.

To read what's in my box of goodies click read more!

• Clit Vibe: The very first vibrator I purchased is still the one I use all the time. It is super strong and snuggles right into my clit so wonderfully. It can get me off in about 30 seconds. It is made of platinum silicone and is rechargeable.

• Dual Vibe: I love me some dual stimulation. Mine is great. The clit piece is really strong. The pearls are on a track so they move in a continuous circle and don't stop when my muscles contract. I can also bend the shaft slightly so it hits my g spot. I have another one too that is rechargeable and made for g spot and clit, so awesome.

• Butt Plug: I have the best silicone butt plug. It is perfect for my booty. Great to have to warm up before some anal sex action. I also have another one that can vibrate.

• Lube: It's not something I use often but is definitely good to have. I have a water base one and a silicone one. I like to use the water base on my vagina and the silicone when I'm doing anal.

• Glass: I have multiple glass toys. Not for everyone because some people don't like hard toys. My favorites are the g spot ones because you can put a lot of pressure on the area. I also have glass anal toys. Smooth ones and ones with bulbs on it, you never know what kind of anal mood I will be in.

• Vibrating Panties: So much fun to wear out in public. Mine are great because the panties are black lace and very nice. They also have a wireless remote which is key.

• Dildo: I have a few dildos; all of mine are made with platinum silicone. Some have a realistic feel to them which is always nice. One has a suction bottom and I can put it on the wall. Dildos are fun to use to DP yourself when having sex. My boyfriend loves that.

• Surgical Steel: There are a few of these at my house. On the same par as glass. Love them.

• Vibrating Cock Rings: I don't use them that often but they are fun to have and use from time to time.

• Vibrating Rubber Duckie: Bath time is that much more fun!

• Handcuffs: Mine have rhinestones on them.

That pretty much sums up my favorites and what I always have around. I never know what mood I may be in and what kind of toy I want to play with or use with my boyfriend. It is always good to be prepared for every situation. I believe I am prepared for a plethora of sexual situations.

I feel bad because it has taken me so long to review this toy; I even have 2 more from this company! But it has been a busy few weeks for me and I fell behind on my toy reviews. But fear not, my vagina has stories to tell of all the toys I have tried recently. First up is this delightful glass candy cane I sweetened up my vagina with.

It was so nice of Dr. Dildo to send me a gift package right before Christmas of fun things to play with. The first one that caught my eye was the candy cane shaped one. I remember when I was working in a sex store and we got this toy in stock I was a little perplexed. At first I didn't understand why someone would want to buy that thing. Well I proved myself wrong when it came down to toy testing time.

To keep reading click read more!

I really love glass toys, but they are not for everyone. Some people can get over how hard they are and think they are uncomfortable. I am part of the population that likes a hard toy. They are really great for g spot stimulation since you can put a lot of pressure on the area. Glass is also so sleek and smooth it just glides in and out and feels great. Since glass in non-porous it is hypoallergenic and won't harbor any bacteria. Great for someone who is sensitive to certain toy materials. You can even boil it or put it in the dishwasher to sanitize and clean. So simple.

I got a fantastic idea when it was time to test the toy. I came up with idea of trying to DP myself with the candy cane. I looked at the curve in the toy and figured it was worth the try, hey at least it would be fun trying. So I lubed up the candy cane and began my adventure. I used the long end to penetrate my vagina and was planning on the short end going in my booty. I was so close to getting it in! Unfortunately the curve in the candy cane was greater than the distance between my vagina and butt. DP fail. But I still had fun trying.

The toy still did feel great in my vagina and in my butt too. It is a great size if you are just starting out with anal play. I like to use it now to warm up my booty before anal sex. It gives really great stimulation back there. Plus you can use either end of the toy. It's 7 inches long, which is a good size for an internal toy. I definitely have a lot of fun with this sweet treat.

Even though the holiday season is over you should keep this in mind for next year. You could even keep it out for decoration. I think I will do that next year. I would love being able to tell a person what is was when they saw it in my house.

Victim identified in fatal Lake Zurich overdose
Lake County Coroner officials have identified the 18-year-old Lake Zurich man who died this week from a heroin overdose for which another man faces criminal charges.
Cristian Medina, 18, of Lake Zurich, had a high amount of opiates in his system when he died Tuesday at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in North Barrington, Lake County Coroner Artis Yancey said after Medina's autopsy was completed.
Yancey said the investigation into Medina's death remains open until the results of toxicology tests are returned in about six weeks.
Cody A. Searles, 19, of the 100 block of North Pleasant Road, was arrested Saturday and charged with two counts of drug-induced infliction of great bodily harm following Medina's death, Lake Zurich police Cmdr. Kevin Finlon said earlier this week.
Searles gave Medina and an unidentified 17-year-old girl heroin Friday that put all three in the hospital, Finlon said.
The girl and Searles were released from the hospital Saturday, Finlon said, but Medina remained hospitalized until he died.
Searles was arrested after his release from the hospital, and remains in Lake County jail on a $200,000 bond, of which he must post 10 percent.
The death remains under investigation, authorities said, and more charges could be filed or upgraded.
Searles also faces two counts of delivery of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of cannabis, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of controlled substance.

Today I'm featuring one of my all time favorite bloggers, Jacki, from Lovely Little Shelf. Her blog is not only adorable, but so interesting and a pleasure to read. She posts about a wide variety of books and includes lots of book-related pictures, like awesome book shelves and libraries. Love! She also recently became a mommy, but has resisted the lure of the mommy blog (which I understand to be a major feat for a new mother). Please go give her blog a look - I can basically guarantee you will love it. Enjoy her interview below:
**Update: Now that I've actually included a link to her site, check her out!
1. What made you decide to start blogging?
Honestly, I was just bored. I had a time when we had just moved to Akron and I couldn't find a job that I was reading a book a day most days. I was also reading my fair share of book blogs and realized that I could do this and really have fun with it. A few months later, I did land a job but was in love with blogging and decided to continue. I recently quit my job to be a stay-at-home-mom and am so glad that I have my blog for daily outside stimulus and a creative outlet.
2. Who designed your super cute blog?
My super cute husband, that's who! He is a designer/programmer, and he is just so darn talented! I told him that I wanted to blog and he was totally supportive and helped me brainstorm names and ideas. One night, I crashed on the couch and when I woke up, he had designed the whole thing, top to bottom. I was totally in awe. I'm not really sure how I'd function without him.
3. You have a great book collection – and I love the picture you posted of your new bookcases several weeks ago. How do you typically acquire books? (used book stores, chain stores, independents, etc )
I get almost all of my books used. I scour used book stores, library sales, thrift stores and garage sales. My friends and family know that a good book is the way to my heart, so I get a lot of books as gifts and has hand-me-downs from my bookworm of a mother. Every once in a great while (maybe three or fourtimes a year), I'll go to a bookstore and buy a book that I can't wait for, but honestly not very often. When that happens, I'd say that I generally split my buying between box stores (B&N, Target) and an independent store here in Akron.
4. Do you consider yourself a book collector? If so, what is your motivation for collecting and what book are you most proud of owning?
This is a hard one. I do have a great collection of books, but again, it's all just stuff that I've stumbled across. I don't really seek out collectable books, so I would say that no, I'm not a collector. I just have a collection. Make sense? :)
Last year, my uncle passed away. He was really into books and his wife passed the majority of his book collection on to my mom and I. He had been a big Stephen King fan since Carrie came out and he had a mound of first edition Stephen King books. They have been well loved & read, so they aren't in great shape, but I love them. He also had a great set of Lord of the Rings books that I ended up with. The older Stephen King books and the Lord of the Rings books are probably my books that I'm the most proud of and hold the most sentiment to me.
5. What is your most recent purchase and what is the oldest book you own?
Once, at an antique store, I was going through a pile of books and pulled out one called "How to Write Good Business Letters," which I thought may be full of funny, outdated advice. I flipped it open and the middle had been cut out in a perfect little square for hiding things. It was published in 1929, so I like to imagine that some housewife or college kid kept their flask in there. I bought it immediately and it's on my shelf, but I haven't thought of anything great to hide in it. Not sure if that is my very, very oldest, but it has to be up there and it has the best story without a doubt.
As far as my most recent purchase, I know it sounds silly, but I don't even know. I've been on a big library kick and haven't really bought too many lately. I got a pile of books at a library sale recently, but nothing remarkable and I've already read most of them. Sorry for the boring answer!
6. Your host a fun meme on Fridays. What is your personal favorite "flashback" book?
I could talk about my "flashback" books all day long. My favorite non-series "flashback" book is Matilda. It was the first book that I truly identified with and I probably read it 50 times when I was younger, no exaggeration. I love it. My favorite series growing up was The Baby-Sitter's Club. To say that I was obsessed is an understatement. I can't talk about it or I will start to gush.
7. How do you think being a new mom will change your reading and blogging habits?
Good question! I have literally no idea. I know that I will continue to read and blog, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep my frequency up like I do now. Right now, I'm reading book every other dayish and blogging at least once a day. It seems like at least for awhile, I'll have to slow it down a little. I'm fine with that. I saw my mom raise 3 of us and still be forever reading a book, so I know that it's doable. My other thought has been to get more audiobooks from the library. Right now I almost never listen to them, but it seems like that would be a solution. I'm really hoping I'll be able to figure out a way to read while I nurse, so if anyone has a good strategy for this, let me know! All this to say: I'll let you know when I know. It seems like a mystery right now!
8. What book are you most looking forward to sharing with your new baby?
I have gotten so many books as gifts since I've known that I had one on the way that it's been overwhelming. I loved being read to when I was young and it is one of the things I am most looking forward to in having children of my own. I love Dr. Seuss books and books that are sing-songy like that, so I'm sure I'll have a good collection of those. I also love children's books that don't have words. I think that they encourage interaction and a real level of imagination so that's something else I'm stocking up on!
9. Do you do any of your own creative writing or do you stick to reviews?
You know, one morning last year, I woke up with a story idea. I wrote about 2000 words and then sat it aside. One day my husband saw it on the computer and read it and has been encouraging me to continue it ever since. I haven't. I think that I have a creative writer inside of me, but I haven't developed that in anyway at all. It isn't something I'm discounting for the future, but for now I'm all blog.
10. What book/publishing issue is most important to you? (such as literacy, book banning, cover whitewashing, etc)
I remember being in my junior English class and everyone having to take reading competency tests on the computer. One of the guys that I had been in school with since we were in kindergarden found out that he had a 5th grade reading level. He was a star athlete and had a great, fun personality and his whole school career, he was just allowed to skate by on that. It was sad because he was shocked. He knew that he never had enjoyed reading and didn't understand how anyone could like it, but he didn't know that the reason he didn't enjoy it is because he... well... couldn't read. Even then I was totally blown away that he made it all those years without any teacher noticing that maybe that was an issue. I can get myself all wound up about reading and literacy and education in general... that and teachers force feeding kids crappy books and making them think that they hate reading, when really the just hate crappy books.

This year's Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival has an awe inspiring line-up of writers who represent a wide variety of writing genres. One genre which will be explored at the Festival will be Romance Fiction, an exciting area of literature that has been too often dismissed by the high-brow literary intelligentsia. But in fact Romance is one of the most popular and best-selling genres today, and Australia is an avid participant, supporting a vibrant and ever-growing community of both readers and writers.
ROMANCE- Writing From and For The Heart will be one of the many featured discussion panels at this year's Bellingen Readers & Writers Festival, with Alli Sinclair, Fiona McArthur (pictured above) & Annie Seaton, chaired by Ros Ward.
While there's no doubt that the stereotypical love stories of Barbara Cartland once pleased an older generation, today's millions of romance fans form a much more diverse and cosmopolitan readership. And the romance industry is big business, worth more than a billion dollars a year. While approximately 85% of the genre's readers are women, the largest segment (40+%) is somewhat surprisingly between the ages of 30 and 54.
"Romance readers cross all social boundaries these days," says local enthusiast Ros Ward, who will be chairing the discussion session at the festival. "What amazes me are the many sub-genres that have evolved in recent times. There's contemporary romance, historical romance, urban romance, medical romance, and even horror romance!"
Ros has arranged for three of the genre's most popular authors to attend this year's festival, and two of them are from the local region.
"Alli Sinclair is a multi-award winning Romance author from Victoria, whose writing falls into the contemporary and historical categories," explains Ros.
"Fiona McArthur is a mid-wife from Kempsey and her very popular books are considered medical romance.
Annie Seaton lives in Nambucca Heads and is both a romance writer and a travel blogger.
She was voted 'Best Established Australian Author' by readers in the 2017 AusRom Today Readers' Choice Awards."
With online organisations like the Romance Writers of Australia and the Australian Romance Readers Association linking up devotees and hosting annual conferences, and bookstore and online sales booming, the Romance genre looks set to keep positive hearts aflutter for many years to come.
"Romance writing isn't about fantasy," insists Ros. "It's about people who are just like people that you know, and about feelings and emotions that readers can relate to. It's about real life."
Saturday 9 June – 10.30-11.30am – Memorial Hall – Individual session: $20
Chair: Ros Ward with Alli Sinclair, Fiona McArthur & Annie Seaton

Penn Quarter Real Estate Analysis
Penn Quarter's initial growth occurred under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation whose Pennsylvania Avenue Plan called for a mixed-use neighborhood. It was to include residences, offices, theaters and other cultural venues, retail, hotels, and restaurants in both new and renovated buildings framing new parks and plazas. Revitalization started with a number of developments west of the FBI Building to 15th Street, most significantly the renovation of what today is the Willard Intercontinental Hotel, and the creation of new parks and plazas, including Pershing Park, Freedom Plaza, and the Navy Memorial. Market Square, The Pennsylvania, and the former flagship store of Lansburgh's department store on 7th Street were at the forefront of the revitalization efforts east of the FBI Building beginning in the mid-1980s. The nearby Verizon Center, which opened in 1997, stimulated the revitalization of adjacent blocks to the north and east and the Penn Quarter neighborhood to the south.
Penn Quarter is home to many restaurants, cultural, and entertainment venues in Washington, D.C. On Thursday afternoons in spring, summer, and fall, the FRESHFARM Penn Quarter farmers market is open on 8th Street, just south of E Street. The Newseum is located at the intersection of 6th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. The building also includes offices and television studio space, The Source restaurant by Wolfgang Puck, and the Newseum Residences, an apartment rental community. The neighborhood is served by a variety of recreational and entertainment facilities including seven theaters, Lucky Strike bowling and several exercise clubs. Other neighborhood amenities include several coffee shops and a teahouse / restaurant on 8th Street; three salons with day spas; Penn Quarter Sports Tavern; the nearby Landmark E Street Cinema, which screens independent films; Regal Theater; and shops selling clothing, jewelry, ice cream, and books, among other things. Over the past thirty years the neighborhood has transformed from a sleepy, nondescript part of downtown into a vibrant 24-hour residential and commercial community.

Gersh Kuntzman, the same dainty New York Daily News writer mauled and traumatized by shooting the most common small-bore rifle in the United States (and apparently guilty of having Couric-like creative tendencies) has now taken aim at something else that doesn't bother normal people: a common, patriotic song that upsets his "New York values."
It's time for God to stop blessing America during the seventh-inning stretch.
Welcome to the July 4 holiday weekend — when once again, baseball fans will be assaulted by the saccharine-sweet non-anthem "God Bless America" at stadia all over this great land.
But no matter which home team you root, root, root for, "God Bless America" should be sent permanently to the bench.
Now, don't get me wrong: When Major League Baseball ordered all teams to play the patriotic jingle after 9/11, I didn't immediately object. Standing with my fellow fans, as one, and singing a paean to our country provided catharsis, comfort and shared heartache.
No, I'm not linking him, as I suspect this was a deliberate attempt to troll for traffic.
We did, however, find an early draft version of his article.
It felt to me like crunkcore — and sounded like screamo…
I've listened to songs before, but never something like "God Bless America." Sung even lightly, the resulting explosion of musical patriotism is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection).
Recoiling from Americana bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don't know what you're doing. The feeling of national pride disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The high notes — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after hearing the song just once, I was anxious and irritable.
I'm fairly confident that Kutzman's views are symptomatic of the rest of the editorial staff at his disreputable tabloid.
Any credible news outlet would have fired him for his hysterical hit piece which had the range who allowed Kutzman to try shooting an AR-15 try to have the article pulled for his intentional dishonesty.

Did you know that reducing the sugar in a recipe can help reduce the dreaded cookie spread? It won't reduce the tummy spread, though, from eating too many goodies.
Today is a day for spreading cookie joy! The holiday cookie baking championship begins on Food Network Canada and it's National Cookie Day! I've got my chai gingerbread ready to be slathered in a pistachio cranberry frozen dessert. What cookie will you have to celebrate?
To commemorate this day, check out the following link from Foodimentary.
