1. Thank the award-giver and link back to them in your post
I was very stunned this morning to find out as I read Google Reader, I had been given the Versatile Blogger Award from kaya. Stunned and speechless.

In the several years I have blogged, I have seen various awards go around but never gotten one for myself. Color me surprised!

So now I have to issue it forth to others!

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

1. I’m terrified of the dark. I can’t take the dogs out at night.
2. I used to be a stripper, when I had the body for it.
3. The very smell of cigarette smoke launches me into anxiety attacks.
4. I spend more time away from the computer then I ever used to. It’s not normal for me
5. I am addicted to the stupid Sims Social game on Facebook.
6. I am still hopelessly in love with a man I can never have.
7. I hate that I had to medicate my youngest to make him more like everyone else and what society accepts.

3. Pass this award along to 15 blogs you enjoy reading.
So many of the blogs I read are already nominated more then once. So I will choose blogs that are flying under the radar so to speak.

1. Chaosperfected’s Journey
2. Rupert
3. Subtle Times – She’s Switched!!!!
4. Submissive Guide

10. Rayne
11. Rainy Day Review
12. Kirana
13. Masshole Mommy
14. Shut The Front Door
15. YOU!

Some of these are BDSM bloggers, some are not. Some are just your average every day person that just share wonderful things. I found these blogs to be important to me on some level or another. I wanted to share what made me happy, who I looked forward to seeing in my feed on my reader and things I truly thought others would enjoy.

4. Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know about the award.

I will but I won’t. Some of them will know by reading here, others will get emails but most likely won’t care or respond.

Either way I am beyond humbled by kaya she thought of me.

Happy Holidays to my American readers. To all else, enjoy your week!

The Sexy Suction Cuffs make shower time a real treat.

The large suction cups grabbed the walls of my shower quickly. While being strapped in, I noticed the velcro was very tight and held beautifully. I wasn’t able to tug outward at the velcro and work them loose. There was no getting out of these.

Concern that the cups would slide on the wall was quickly debunked. The cups held long and hard and didn’t slide with any ease. It took tugging and working to make the cups give at all. When the wall was well wet, the cups still didn’t give.

Air drying after play is essential. The fabric will get stinky otherwise. I opened them and used hooks to hang them out for the night.

These are easy, simple to use and remove suction cuffs to make your water play even more fun.

When I chose the Don Juan Silicone Anal Toy to review, I was concerned. I’m still very new to anal play and I get weird about what goes in my backdoor. This looked larger then I thought, even after reading the product information.

Much to my surprise, the Don Juan has become a favorite of mine.

The Don Juan is much more flexible then I thought it would. The only time I had an issue was with insertion. The plug is so flexible that it requires a bit of aid to get in properly. It would give and bend and then I would have to really force the plug to find it’s way. Otherwise, the plug is fabulous.

Don Juan is super soft and easy to wear for long periods of time. I tested it for comfort for a period of 6hrs and never once did I need to remove it for the sake of discomfort. This is a fabulous toy for first timers or the skilled anal player. It is easy to wear, easy to use and feels completely natural while wearing it.

Clean up is simple. I simply used warm water and anti-bacterial soap. The silicone is easy to clean. I left it out to air dry and then stored it away. It doesn’t hold odors or stains and only takes moments to dry.

True to the post title, you can achieve an orgasm from a box. A box of goodies from Babeland is the answer!

I was doubtful that a box of so little could cause such intense pleasure. My Orgasm In A Box supplied me with a bullet vibe, a sleeve, batteries and some fluids to keep me in the mood.

The plain white box is a bit deceiving. The contents are tons of fun. The bullet vibe is pretty standard. Black box handle with a slide for intensity, cord that goes to the bullet. Easy. Batteries and fluids, easy. The only thing I really didn’t understand… the sleeve. It looks like a rabbit. Sure it was cute, purple and interesting looking, but I saw no point in it what so ever.

The intensity of the bullet is varied by the little slide controller. I like how you could easily back off the vibrations without having to remove the bullet from my body. Simplicity is nice. The cord could be a wee bit longer of course. I thought I would try the sleeve over it but that’s where the problems started.

For one, getting the little sleeve on was tough! I had cleaned the bullet and dried it off, and the stupid sleeve didn’t want to go on easily. Then once I got it on, using it was silly. The only thing I could do was lay it on my clit and let it vibrate. Worthless. Completely worthless. Then getting the sleeve off was a trial. It took me 15 mins to get it off without ripping it to shreds.

Orgasm In A Box is TONS of fun but I found some parts completely unnecessary and a waste of time. Fortunately for me, the Orgasm In A Box end result far outweighed the issues.

I didn’t count on such weight when I got the Naughty Bedroom Dice from Babeland.

These wonderful dice come in their own lil black velveteen bag and scream luxury from the first roll. The Naughty Bedroom Dice have a lovely weight and feel in the hand. The corners are a bit sharp so be careful!

Naughty Bedroom Dice are a bright chromed plated aluminum. One die will tell you what to do and the other tells you exactly where to do it. With so many options, the Naughty Bedroom Dice will never get boring or old. Your options are wide open.

Using the dice is easy. Just grab, shake and roll. I found that no combination was redundant or over used. Each roll gave me a new reason to explore my partners body and find ways to do what the dice said and more.

Babeland has a great variety of toys to use with the Naughty Bedroom Dice. I used mine with my We-Vibe, and Bare Flogger.

Looking for a way to warm up the coming cold winter nights? Hit Babeland and order the Naughty Bedroom Dice and feel the heat!

Not all plugs are made equal!

Big Flirt has risen higher then any plug I have ever used.

This smooth silicone plug is utterly fabulous!

The Big Flirt has a smooth rounded head that allows for easy and painless insertion, unlike other plugs that have more of a pointed head. The base is nice and smooth without ridges and flat so that you can rest comfortably or sit without discomfort. Other plugs I have tried have had ridges that goo and fluids can build in and ruin the interior of the plug. It was similar to a sleeve over a smaller plug. The Big Flirt is a solid single piece constructed anal plug.

The slight flairing and tapering of the plug> makes it comfortable for long term wear and use. The swelled lower section stretches the skin slightly and then once inserted, the waist at the base is a tight but firm fit for your bottom.

Care and clean up are so easy with the Big Flirt! I use an antibacterial cleanser and warm water to keep the silicone clean and neat. Leaving the Big Flirt out to air dry is recommended so that it doesn’t pick up particles otherwise.

When you find something that works, you never go back. The Big Flirt is a 10 out of 10 in my toy box!

The Tenga Egg was supposed to be a surprise to my partner. We thought it would be fun, sadly we were mistaken.

Tenga Egg was a disappointment from the start. First it was alittle tacky feeling when we first opened it. There weren’t any kind of instructions for care or cleaning either.

Second, the TPE material seemed thinner in some places and thicker in others. It was rather misleading. We were slightly optimistic when we investigated the interior surface. It seemed promising, but when my partner tried it with their included packet of lube, the material seemed to just fall apart and within a fewgentle strokes, the Tenga Egg ripped!

We were sorely let down by the lack of quality with the Tenga Egg sleeve. We immediately discarded it and moved on.

Sadly, the Tenga Egg was a complete waste of time and energy. Lacking instructions for care and cleaning, the material wasn’t consistent in thickness and not very durable.

Looks like the egg is scrambled.

When I signed up for doing reviews with Babeland, I never thought I would get something that would make me laugh.

When Position of the Day Playbook came across my desk I was curious. It’s small, lightweight and almost pocket size. It’s a smaller paperback but thick. This small red book is not just for ideas but for laughs! The note from the writers tells you point blank to not take this book seriously, it is meant for fun. There are several repeated positions with different names. There are many positions that are completely and totally impossible (See The Quasimodo, April 23) but fun to see and leans to the idea of, “What if…?”

I have never so thoroughly enjoyed a book as I have Position of the Day Playbook. Em and Lo, “near experts”, make looking at these positions fun and interesting.

I have this book out when I have friends over. I lay it on the coffee table and it quickly becomes a conversation piece. Do you need a good giggle, maybe an interesting gift for that kink minded friend? The Position of the Day Playbook makes a n interesting gift for the open minded individual. I give this book a huge thumbs up!

Thanks to Babeland for a good laugh and some fun!

Prick me!

Being a moderate lover of pain, the Pinwheel seemed like a no brainer for me to review.

With 20 evil little points, the Pinwheel was a curious object for me. I had used something similar in my sewing box but had never thought to try it in this fashion. But my review will prove that not all toys need batteries to be worthwhile.

Running the small head down my thighs, I had a wonderful sensation of pricks with tickling. It was done easy at first, then harder. The 20 heads penetrate the skin nicely, and can either just push the skin or bring a tear to your eye. I was instantly in love as the Pinwheel grazed its way over my legs and arms. The deepest sensation felt was by running over the tender skin of the breasts and inner thigh. No other impliment in my toycase would have caused the same feeling that the Pinwheel brought me.

Batteries aren’t needed when you have a good strong hand and some imagination. The Pinwheel is heavy and nestles into the hand nicely. It has an ergonomic handle and rolls effortlessly. The multi-pinned head moved free and clear, without hitching or stopping. There’s a small plastic sleeve enclosed for keeping the toy clean and protected. Be sure if you run this under water for clean up, that you pat it dry and leave it out so it doesn’t harm the body in anyway.

If you enjoy a bit of sensory play, this is a great toy to add to your toybox. Easy to store and use, the Pinwheel will quickly become a favorite in for your BDSM play!

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Not all reviews can be perfect, happy and worth the time to review.

I was horribly excited to get the C Spot in the mail. I tore it open, grabbed batteries and went giggling to my bedroom. But my delight was short lived.

The C Spot takes 2 AAA batteries. Though it is small, the C Spot does back quite a punch. It is slim and curves very gently at the tip. The flat base head makes it a perfect fit for resting on the clit. Once I turned the dial slowly, I felt the vibrations and was pleasently surprised but that is where my joy ended.

The dial turned and I increased the stimulus but for me, it just wasn’t enough. It is nice, powerful and … boring. I had to use it in conjunction with another of my vibrators to get the full impact of the C Spot.

The variable speed is nice. I almost wish the flathead was abit larger for more coverage. I felt cheated that I was able to enjoy the vibrations but not get all the way over with the C Spot. This toy will still get regular use with other items, but sadly for a quick fix in solo use, it lacks the power to work.
