This week’s Good Things List is brought to you by the letter V (for valium) and the number 10 (for the dose)… and readers like you!  (PS: JOIN FETLIFE!)

A Good Blog To Read

Narration by D is this week’s blog pick.  D is the counterpart of another of my favorite blogs Thursday’s Child.  It says in his profile: “From the male perspective, the exploration of a young married couple beyond vanilla sex.”   D is in my BILF list.  His wife is also in my BILF list.  They as a couple are in my BILF list.  Now we just have to figure out how to get into the same state and city!

A Good Toy

I have just gotten my new shipment of toys to review for Vibe Review and I haven’t even formally reviewed it yet on my blog, but so far I can tell you that I adore the Cyberglass Felicity.  I have just recently gotten into glass/pyrex dildos and this one is a perfect starter because of the low price.  You can warm it under some hot water in the sink or you can cool it in the refrigerator for a while (it comes in a nice case, by the way!).  You can use either end, you can play with it vaginally or anally.  I just love it!  Vibe Review happens to be a great company to do business with - a classy online toy company that has a good reputation.  That matters!

A Good Photographer

Erocrush.  Melvin Moten, Jr. is Erocrush.  His work is special to me.  He is special to me.  I consider him a very good friend.  He allows me to use his images all the time on my blogs.  I know that you have enjoyed them.  Like Lochai, who I’m in love with, Melvin isn’t shooting for the porn content market.  He shoots fetish and erotic art that he enjoys.  With real women, that he enjoys.  With real couples.  One thing I noticed about Melvin’s work is that his models obviously feel so natural with him that they forget he’s even there.  It’s as though you’re actually there, in the scene, a voyeur.  I love Melvin.  I want Melvin to shoot me.  With any luck at all, this fall, he will.  Then I will have my way with him!  If you click on the (perfect) image in this post (by Erocrush) it will magically take you to his site.  Fear not! It will open in a new window and you won’t lose the Good Things List!

A Good Pay Site

Inescapable Bondage is January Seraph’s new content site.  She has been shooting their own content like crazy.  She and her hotter than hell partner-in-crime, Smutty, have been violating all kinds of men and women.  This is Brand Spanking New!  January isn’t, of course.  She’s got a great reputation as a top model and actress already, but this site is so new that you’re probably the first one you know to see it! 

A Good Blogger Resource

The Week In Kink.  Duh.  I sat here and tried to think about this one for a while and then I realized, if you’re a good blogger and you have good posts, then you should send me a little note.  Each week I go through blogs that I like and pick the hottest posts and then publish them on TheWeekInKink.Com.  I just want to be clear that I’m not trying to compete with Sugasm.  It’s not a democracy - it’s just a list of my top favoritest, hottest, made me want to masturbate posts.  :)

A Good Group

It’s widely known that I love FetLife.  I’m an official greeter there now, which makes me feel extra special.  What makes me feel super, duper special, though, is starting a new Charlotte Kinksters group (it’s called Charlotte, NC - The Queen of Kink, since we are the Queen City!)  If you join FetLife you can join the Charlotte Kinky group.  The idea is that we could all get together for informal gatherings and have a little community here that isn’t quite as formal as CAPEX.

A Good Alternative Education Resource/CommUNITY Source

This is the place to go to find professional alternative educators, presenters, event planners, vendors, dm/security/medical, legal, volunteers, and more.  Everybody claims to be a sex educator, but this group is truly respected within the commUNITY as the leaders in their fields.  Now, you can learn from them.  Oh, it’s no coincidence you’ll find Lochai there.  Wouldn’t you die to take a bondage class with Lochai?  Oh my…  You can also take classes with people like Claire Adams.  OMG.  I’m in heaven. 

Even January Seraph puts on her Martha Stewart look for this week’s Good Things List.

A Good Blog To Read

Emerging On The Other Side is the blog written by an overeducated skank (former slut) who is proud of it.

A Good Toy

The Black Label Liberator Wedge/Ramp Combo is the best! It seems like a just a pretty little strategically cut out piece of foam with a cover, but it’s sooooo much more! It’s great for people (like me) who have back problems and can’t tolerate a traditional hands and knees position for longer than three minutes. I never ever feel pain (except for the good kind!) when we get out our Liberator set.

A Good Great Photographer

Lochai is not only a good photographer, but he is a great artist! He is the photographer responsible for the image at the top of this post! I recently did an interview with Lochai on Catalina Loves. This bit is From his bio on his website Kirinawa.com:

Lochai is an award winning photographer who’s work appears on gallery walls as well in fine art publications & coffee table books. He “shoots for the walls & not the computer screen”. Presently he has his work on display at the Leather Archive & Museum in Chicago, for sale in brick & mortar galleries from Key West Florida to Cyber fine art galleries based out of London as well on many private collectors walls. His images, rope art & interviews have been published in The British Journal of Photography, Secret, Skin Two, Bizarre, Prometheus, Cherry, A Magazine, Fetish Anthology, Extreme Anthology, New Times and in his own fine art books. His work can also be found on numerous websites from around the world. He is one of the founding directors of PAG, the Photo Artisans Guild, in West Palm Beach Florida. He as also the co-founder & co-curator of the Traveling Erotic Art Show which spent 2 years touring the US.

He feels that the best stories to tell come from the heart and everyone has something hidden that is bursting to come out. “I feel I can touch something inside the heart & head of each person who views my work. For me, I see the real person when I create my images. The real person comes out thru their alter ego.” Starting in Mid June he will be teaching along side David Lawrence & Bobby Knight 3 day intensive workshops on the art of fine art fetish photography. For more information go to http://prophototours.com/

Being an educator & student of bdsm and fetish, Lochai knows how to bring out the look of hidden desires in his models & shows “real” emotions to his audience. He is considered an advanced rope artist who tours the country teaching rope bondage to kinksters from all walks of life & both rigs his own models for his photography as well as for some of the top photographers in the world. “The Art of The Art” is how he looks at his bondage images & he loves to share his knowledge.

On the Bondage side… Lochai has been a student of Japanese inspired rope bondage since a very early age. He has been educating the rope bondage minded in South Florida for the past 8 years as well as across the country for the past 12. He is one of the founding members of the Traveling Rope Troupe comprised of riggers and bottoms who perform theater style aspects of their bondage art as a lead into a series of hands on classes. He can be found on occasion binding beauties and creating living art at local fetish events as well as major exhibitions. “I use the body as a canvas & rope as the medium in creating my art”

A Good Band

I’m partial to this band because it’s my very good friend’s band. Your Dirty Habit is club/dance music and it never leaves my playlist. On their site at Myspace.com/YourDirtyHabit, you can grab the Live Summer 2007 Live Mix - DO IT! I love it!

A Good Pay Site

Backdoor Bondage is the site that belongs to Sgt. Major. His scenes are some of the hottest I’ve seen, ever. Maybe it’s because I’m such a fan of Claire Adams and I’ve seen two scenes with her it them - one where she was being punched in the ass and another where she’s completely suspended upside down being erotically choked. Either way, yum yum.

A Good Webmaster Resource

A Good Non-Sex Science Tattoo Blog

My friend, Zetar, passed this blog along to me and I just have to share it with everyone else. I normally don’t like tattoos, but these tattoos are right up my alley. Nerds meet Ink - Ink meet Nerds. It’s Carl Zimmer’s Science Tattoo Emporium. Frequently when graduate students finish their doctorate (or even Masters) they get a commemorative tattoo. No, not an “I love Betty” tattoo, but cooler. Take a lookee.

A Good Corsetry Site

By now everybody knows that I love corsets. love Love LOVE them! My dream is to have a corset custom made by Isabella Corsetry. Here is some information from her about page:

Isabella Corsetry makes corsets for women, men, and even children (no waist reduction of course), as well as custom bridal gowns, vintage inspired dresses, costumes, and undergarments.

Each corset made by Isabella Costumiere is individually patterned to each customers own measurements . Since no two bodies are exactly the same this means you will get a corset that fits YOUR body. I use a rather long list of measurements and double check each pattern to insure the perfect fit. For long distance customers I can construct a muslin mock up of your corset and mail it to you to try on in the comfort of your own home to make certain your corset is just right. These are inlcuded with every overbust corset.

Well, there you have it - a few new Good Things for you to check out. I’m getting such a backlist that I’m considering doing The Good Things List twice a week instead of just on Saturdays. What do you think?
