I watched the clip yesterday, and I think it would take a real jerk to listen to her screaming and crying and call the actions of any of the adults "justified." This is not what should be happening in schools! Michael's comment above highlights that even in special ed, when restraining a child is sometimes necessary,…

Unfortunately the mainstreaming of BDSM culture is, in fact... total bullshit.

This makes me so angry. Sooooo angry.

SUCH a good point. Realising how much work went into washing clothing (and, of course, feminine products) really highlights how important an electric washer can be. I think there might be a fair argument that technological advances in the home lead to more time and therefore more opportunities/demand for change for…

Hey, Jezzies - so I am having trouble deciding what to do with my life.

All amazing points! I would add this on to #1: any warranties on your mattress are invalidated if the mattress gets stained, so a good mattress pad/cover could save you money in the long run! Also, sweat can break down memory foam, leading to dips in your Tempur-Pedic or what have you. Signed, a woman who thought she…

Heh, so sweet! Well I make stuff for any budget :-)

Thanks! If you email me at goddesshairorders(at)gmail(dot)com we can work out a few custom pieces completely to your own taste!

Awesome! Looking forward to it.

I did for a while but let it lag because I was doing much more business in person/at craft shows. Would totally love to work up something for you (and I'm pretty affordable, too). Feel free to email me at goddesshairorders(at)gmail(dot)com! Just mention Jez so I know who you are :-)

"If you can't look back on yourself in a year and think, boy, was I stupid, then you haven't learned anything." So true, and it makes me take myself far less seriously in the present.

Sorry these are so gigantic - don't know how to format on the iPad. These are three hair ornaments I completed this past week. I did a wedding so I made boutonnières and corsages as well. Yay peacock feathers!

I just keep coming back to the issue of consent and how utterly necessary it is even outside of the scene. And it is obvious that a lot of people do not understand what consent is and why it is so important. Erotica which doesn't feature enthusiastic, informed consent just doubles down on rape culture. And because 50…

Oh wow, that's a fair point. Teenage boy finds the book in mom's nightstand and gets some terrible ideas... I'm so frustrated by this! BSDM is all about consent and we absolutely need to be teaching that to young people.

YES. I also really worry that young people will read the books and think that they are an accurate description of/guide to BDSM. It's just so so so unsafe. Kink is something you really need to know how to do properly in terms of safety, boundaries, consent, etc. Ugh!

Wow, that's... something. I personally like having bottle service because that means I have a place to sit down, haha. Going to a club without having a table can be torture.

That is crazy! Not at all what I have experienced at other (quite nice) Vegas clubs. Well I know where I'm not going (though this article pretty much convinced me already)...

I've definitely been to clubs where a comp is a table and one bottle (though I will admit, 15 people is probably in the 2-3 minimum bottle range). I just don't think they would actually be losing that much money. I mean I was at a joint bachelor/bachelorette which was over ten people and we did three bottles of vodka…

"1 comp" can mean a lot of things, though. It's probably a non-prime location with a house vodka and mixers, which does not equal $4000. Yeah, having hot girls in a club can get more people in and might create more business, but there's no way that a single comp means the club spending $4000 to get that. A table and…

Oh I so feel you. I did go to a bachelorette in Vegas with all "hot chicks" - who were all lovely, nice, non-judgemental people - but I felt very out of place amongst them. It's the location that did it. I can go to kink events with my friends and my body/looks are right at the peak of awesomeness, but the typical…
