Totally outrageous, Alan. I just got caught up on FB - let me know if there's anything I can do.

I've had my bio plagiarized in conjunction with stories before as well. Amazon is good at pulling books once offered proof by the author/copyright owner. Unfortunately I've found that pulling bios on various websites isn't as straight forward or seen as critically. One time I just rewrote my own because I couldn't be bothered fighting it and wasn't particularly attached to the verbiage anyway.

With this particular plagiarist - I literally couldn't believe what I was reading when I learned she had conducted an interview, discussing how she was inspired to 'write' a book that she had actually stolen from another author. Balls.
Thunder.
Rain against a window.
Crackling fire.
Ocean surf.
A cello.
Puppy hiccups.
This looks like a very fun new sex toy and it just launched today. I'm getting my hands on one later this month, so I'll do a proper review then, but I wanted to post this now incase anyone wants to enter their contest where you can win one of ten giveaways (all you need is a webcam).

This toy differentiates itself in that it's really a gender neutral, LGBT-friendly toy that looks to celebrate sexuality in all orientations - a true 'flexisexual' product that celebrates a 'no-labels' attitude.



Introducing the TRANSFORMER™ by PicoBong™!

It's always exciting to see new innovative products launched around this time of year. And even better when one has the potential to be a holiday gift that actually 'gives' to whatever gender dynamic you're currently loved up in. Boys. Girls. Boys and Girls. Threesomes and Moresomes. The TRANSFORMER™ promises to be an all-inclusive 'flexual' sex toy that works as:

* A rabbit vibe
* A prostate massager
* A cock ring
* A butt-plug
* A double ended vibrator/dildo

The bendy design means that you can use it a variety of different ways. Basically it's a waterproof, rechargeable, double-ended dildo that vibrates at both ends and has 60cm (24 inch) of hyper-flexible length in between that you can bend and hold any way that makes you (and your partners) feel good. Sounds fun, right?



The tagline follows that, 'If you can think it, TRANSFORMER™ will make it happen.'



The first thing I thought of was that this would be a great little device for solo double-penetration play. Two girls can share it as a double-ended vibe. And, if you're in a hetero relationship, this might be the perfect opportunity for guys that are a bit shy about buying a prostate massager or exploring their P-spot to (discreetly) try it out as well. My mind is rolling through all the different positions and pleasure connections and possibilities. And really, that's what this toy and PicoBong™ encourages you to do!

Because the TRANSFORMER™ is an all-inclusive toy, it's ideal for people that don't have a vast collection of toys to begin with. You get a lot of different capabilities in one device. It also does away with thinking about toys as belonging to traditional gender boxes (his, hers, couples) or individual functions (eg. toys designated as g-spot, prostate, butt-plug, clit-vibe). It's flexible and freeing in many more ways than just the literal interpretation.

In order to celebrate this, PicoBong™ is hosting a competition, where you can win a TRANSFORMER™ absolutely free. There are TEN up for grabs, so check it out!

The Manifesto

Brothers and sisters, comrades and friends.

We live in a time of accelerating change. Borders are torn down as fast as they go up, our language changes by the hour, and just when we think we’ve caught up, everything’s moved on and left us behind.

Nowhere is this truer than in issues of gender and sexuality: the most important and most defining issues of our age. Our minds are only just catching up to the changes our bodies have undergone during 3 million years of development. It’s only in the last 100 years that we’ve begun to try to make sense of the instinctive urges and desires.

To bring some order to it all, we’ve created countless labels and categories for ourselves. Gay. Straight. Bi. Queer. Intersex. Transgender. Cisgender. And thousands more, all of them meant to define us; instead they only confine us.

The one thing that’s supposed to unify us – sex – is driving us apart.

Enter the PicoBong TRANSFORMER. A sex toy that isn’t just a sex toy. It’s a sexual revolution, the vibrating underground. It’s The Resistance.

The TRANSFORMER is fighting back against centuries-old heteronormative standards of sex and sexuality, which dictate what we should and shouldn’t do with our bodies and with whom we should or shouldn’t do it. The Transformer makes no judgments about how you use it, who you use it with or where you put it.

The TRANSFORMER is so free that its very existence is an act of rebellion, a call to arms. To own one is to signal that you understand your sexuality, that you won’t accept the rigid sexual conventions of the mainstream.

It doesn’t care whether you ascribe to a label or reject labels entirely. All that matters to the Transformer is that you enjoy the journey.

After all, all’s well that double-ends well.

ps. It retails for around $125, but they have great intro prices on Amazon right now.
It should be up on the Lush Store within the next couple of days as well.

Re the perfume sets, I got the Marc Jacobs Daisy because mine is just about to run out. I also got one of those Philosophy layering sets because I wanna try out the whole layering thing...if it doesn't work out, I'll probably just give it away. And I got one of the sampler sets. I like those because I can give away the ones I don't like to multiple people without feeling like I wasted my money...and if I like the samplers enough, I inevitably buy the full size.

There are two more that I put in my shopping cart, but I didn't get them. One was like 5 or 6 Estee Lauder perfumes, and they were almost full-size. I might just get them, as they're still just $35 right now. The other was a Coach mini set...Poppy, I think. Honestly, I got overwhelmed by the fragrance choices. I might shop for those separately some time soon, there are still a few bargains up.


I agree - I love fragrance samplers or minis. I find that it's nearly impossible to properly smell and appreciate a scent in a store like Sephora. There's too many competing smells in the air and overpowering Flowerbomb. I'm like you - nearly all the perfumes I've bought originated as a sample or mini bottle that I try and start to love. Buying a big perfume bottle is a commitment - I have to really feel like it's 'me'.

Aww, I got that one as a stocking stuffer for a friend (yes, we do stockings). Those sort of palettes are great for that kind of thing. The packaging was so badass that I was tempted to get it for myself, but I have all 3 of the Naked palettes, so I have no excuse for splurging on neutral eye shadows for myself, even if they are practically giving them away.

A friend of mine is quitting acrylic nails (Blech!) cold turkey so I got her one of those Butter London nail kits as kind of a starter.

I think the only thing I got for myself was mascara and some nail polish sets (Those prices were insane!), and a couple of fragrances, so I mostly dipped into my Christmas budget, and not my self-splurge budget.

And on a totally unrelated note, I bought a pair of $144.99 boots for $27.49. They were on sale for 40% off, and I had a 50% off coupon. Indulging without hurting my wallet is the best retail therapy there is.

I wonder if they're gonna do anything for Black Friday.


The sale on those boots are killer! Wow!

What fragrances did you pick up? I got the one I've been obsessing over forever - the Maison Martin Margiela 'Replica' Beach Walk. I have my eye on FunFair for another time. I also got a Fresh perfume (Brown Sugar) and that set of Nest minis. And I got a couple of rollerballs as xmas gifts.

The BL set is a good one for your friend if she's going off acrylics. BL will have a solid sale for Black Friday - they always do. They are actually dirt cheap if you order direct from the BL site - they always have promos and stuff going on. Usually their polishes go down to $7.50 each and they have lots of cool sets.

Sephora will have a Black Friday sale but it'll probably be nuts in-store and online, I assume the website will be crashing all day. Last year they had a bunch of pretty nice $10 grabs.

Re Sephora's VIB sale, I'm actually quite proud of myself. I didn't go too crazy, and a good chunk of what I bought was gifts for others.


I checked a bunch of gifts off my xmas list too.

As far as make-up goes, I grabbed the Urban Decay Pulp Fiction palette - because...at the sale price it's already at + discount, it was practically free anyway.

I did indulge in some skin care stuff (face oils) and fragrances though. It's been a while.
Quote by KatieElizabeth

I am soooo glad Beth's okay. I have a serious crush on her! Well more to the point, she's just unbelievably yummy


She is, right? I couldn't believe it when I read the actress that plays her is 29 yrs old. She pulls off being 18'ish very well.
My theory is - if you don't know whether you had an orgasm, you didn't have one.

If a girl is experimenting and sort of going through the build-up and getting those waves of highly pleasurable feelings and wondering if 'that's an orgasm', I can see how she might be questioning it - just because she has nothing to compare it to.

It's a pretty distinct toe-curling internal 'mini-explosion' though - you definitely know when you've had one.
Cold. It's just a more intense sensation and I like feeling it slowly warm to my body.

A cold dildo inserted after getting fucked really hard is one of my fave ways to use it.
You just need to experiment to find what you like - everything on the market is so different. Here are some of my fave brands.

Natural balms, moisturizing, colour-tints - Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments, Dior Addict Lip Glow, Butter London Tinted Balms

Standard Lipstick (best colour payoffs) - MAC, Lime Crime

Matte, Long-Wearing, Smudgeproof - Lime Crime Velvetines

Gloss: Dior Addict, Nars, Butter London Glosses and Lippies (liquid lipsticks)

Clear: Bobbi Brown Crystal Lip Gloss - put a dab of this over any lipstick to give it an instant hard-gloss shine - almost like the old Dior Addict Plastic Glosses. One of my fave products.

If you're looking for unconventional colours - blues, greens, purples, yellows - check out Lime Crime, Melt Cosmetics or Sugarpill
That's brave of you to do your own Brazilian.

I tried once with a wax kit, but then chickened out at the last minute and went to the salon. I ended up going online to check reviews on the kit and saw all these 'do-it-yourself' pube waxing gone wrong horror stories and freaked myself out. lol

UPDATE ON THE 29 PCS BRUSH SET:




Re the dupe brushes... I hate when that happens. And it happens a lot more than people think.

Even with make-up, many companies buy from the same mica/pigment companies (such as tkbtrading.com where you can buy some of the exact same make-up without the fancy compacts and branding), and just 'press' them into branded packaging and sell them with massive mark-ups.

The idea of just slapping your brand on something you had no hand in designing/creating just feels wrong, somehow. Yet, I suppose this is standard in many industries.

That's a good catch, Dani! Those are deep savings on that brush set, in comparison to the pricier brands!

I'll have to put them on my extended 'wish-list' for now. I spent my make-up/skincare allotment splurge-funds on the big VIB sale at Sephora this past weekend.
Did anyone like the Beth storyline thing last week? I thought it was a bit slow - maybe because everything else has been so fast-paced and intense lately.

I think as far as villains go, after the Governor, Joe's gang and Terminus, these hospital nutters feel kind of weak.

The green lollipop scene was sufficiently disturbing, however.
Quote by Dani
So this isn't about makeup, per se, but about something equally important...brushes!

Makeup brushes are essential because your makeup is only as good as how/what you use to apply it. A simple blending brush can make all the difference. Good makeup brushes are also dense, which means you use less product to achieve your desired effect.

There are tons of brands to choose from (which ultimately end up making duplicates of each others products just in different colors/styles) as well as different qualities (as well as prices).


One thing about makeup brushes is that you get what you pay for. If you find one of those bargain/wholesale sets on places like Ebay and Amazon, even with proper maintenance, they don't last as long as the more expensive brands.

Personally, I've always just shelled out the extra bucks for quality makeup brushes because if you factor in replacing brushes, going the cheaper route costs you more in the long run.

As far as quality goes, nothing comes close to the Sigma and MAC brand brushes. Any professional makeup artist will tell you the same. Even if they're all about bargains, they'll tell you that nothing compares to Sigma and MAC brushes. They really took their time crafting these...and with proper care, they last for years. As I said before, with makeup brushes, you always get what you pay for. So a single MAC or a Sigma brush can run you anywhere from $14-$50 or more. I was just looking to replace a few of my Sigma brushes, and a set of 5 basic face brushes was $87, which was really no shock to me.

I have a close friend who's a makeup artist. Makeup artists have to replace their brushes way more often than us little people do...well at least they should. And shelling out at least $200 to replace a couple of handfuls of brushes can grow quite tiresome. Needless to say, she's always on the hunt for quality brushes that are budget-friendly. She's tried so many brushes and brands, from department store to drugstore to wholesale. She's satisified with them short term, but ultimately she just goes back to MAC or Sigma.

Recently, she's really been raving about a brand called Ovonni. They have a 29 pcs brush selling on Ebay and Amazon anywhere from $45-$49. This may still seem like a steep price, but remember...spending more on quality saves you money in the long run. Good brushes means using fewer product to achieve great looks, so you don't have to buy as much makeup, and they also last much longer so you're not replacing them as often.

Now, back to Ovonni. First of all, I'm quite stubborn about brands. When I find one I like, I stick to it and seldom deviate. So my makeup artist friend was raving about this set of brushes...something she's never done before. She said they were exactly like Sigma brushes, down to the materials, color, quality, density...everything. It's a 100% dupe. The only difference is, 5 Sigma brushes costs you $87, where a set of 29 Ovonni brushes costs you $45-$49, so you do the math.

I ordered a set myself, and I have to say everything she said was absolutely correct. I'm surprised that something like this exists at this price range. And when more people catch on, I'm not sure how long they'll stay in this price range. Or maybe they were created for the sole purpose of providing top quality for such an excellent price.

I rarely rave about products like this, but I really had to share. This is by far the best bargain I've ever found in my entire existence of bargain-hunting! I'm seriously contemplating buying another set for when I have to replace mine in a couple of years or so.

I'll post images and links later. But typing 'Ovonni 29 pcs brush set' into either Amazon or Ebay's search boxes will bring you to the brush sets. Ignore the colorful fluffy looking stuff and go for the black ones that come in a nice big zip-up case with different compartments on it...and a heart on the zipper.



This is a great post. I tend to mix and match a bit with brushes - mostly MAC and Bobbi Brown.

I have to say, I tried E.L.F's Kabuki brush a while ago, and I'm really impressed by the quality for the price. It's ridiculously cheap - ($9) but performs so well - no shedding, soft, applies powder and blends blush beautifully. I was really surprised - it was on par (performance-wise) with my more expensive BB Kabuki. I tend to use just a bit of Benefit's 'Flawless' powder in place of any kind of foundation for daytime and the Kabuki brush is my go-to and pretty much the only brush I couldn't live without.

I'll have to check out Ovonni next.
I like the classic swimmer's build... lean muscle, fit - not too beefy or bulky. And definitely not in speedos.

If I'm with a BF or it appears he's walking with a GF, obviously I'm just going to do a discreet little check-out, and then it's pretty much forgotten.

If I'm single and he's alone or with his buddies, a smile goes a long way. You really don't have to do much else. If the beach is busy, a little strategic stroll down to the water or lingering in the surf during a swim is what I do to ensure he gets a chance to check me out. If there's a spark of interest, the water is an easy way to let natural conversation happen without anyone making an obvious approach.

Although, I have had a request or two to remove one of my 'lip-plumping' glosses (it tingles in a minty kind of way) before being kissed.


Lip Venom! Yep, I had the same request from a BF once. Hah.
I use gloss or sheer lipstick (something like Dior Addict Lip Glow) if I know I'm going to be kissing or more. It's just less messy and non-staining when it melts off.

If I'm going out and wearing a strong lip, I tend to transition to a more sheer colour or gloss toward the end of the evening anyway. There's nothing worse than having a few drinks and then worrying about reapplying cleanly in a dark bathroom.
Quote by Wilful



Man, those Terminus people are evil! That was just coldblooded. Sure, snatch him and eat him. But to keep him alive while they do it? That's a special kind of psychopath. Definitely a chilling ending to an otherwise slow episode.
.


I had a back and forth about this with someone today. Does anyone else think Bob was maybe bitten in the water at the Food Bank? And that's why he went outside late at night to cry? If that's true, that could very well 'spoil the meal' for the Terminus boys if you can also get infected that way.
Quote by Coco
Bigger? Hmmm.... You make it sound like it's worth purchasing.


Yep, bigger is better. biggrin

But yeah- when I first got it, I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to differentiate between the original and the new version because I had both in the midnight blue colour, but then I realized it was very obvious based on the size of the 'tongue tip'. You can see it in the comparison pics I posted.

It doesn't surpass the Soraya model (nothing really does), but this is the best clit vibe I've tried, just because it offers the most variation. And it's pretty.
Quote by Dani


Haha...vibe. I see what you unintentionally did there.


Impossible to resist. ;)
Quote by Magical_felix


I could read serious reviews of advanced sex toys by you all day. I imagine you with glasses on and everything as you write this.


Haha. Yep, glasses and my hair in a top-knot. I literally just got glasses very recently. They totally work with the vibe. smile
As others have said - I would stay away from hard straight objects that can't flex with the body. You can really damage yourself that way.

Get a small anal-vibe, butt-plug or a small soft/silicone dildo to start. I've also heard good things about the 'Aneros' prostate-play toys.

And definitely use lots of lube.
Those last five minutes totally freaked me out.

The episode tonight was a little more slow moving, so I was kind of lulled into a calm, and then wham... Gareth is back! Eeek!

Who thinks Bob is done vs being kept around as a one-legged character like Hershel?

Is Father Gabriel a bad guy? He seems pretty benign. I'm guessing he's done some regrettable things in the past (maybe denying entry of survivors to the church?), but he doesn't strike me as very threatening at the moment.
Quote by LadyAnnWest
Just a few weeks ago I invested about $120 for a LELO Mona 2 luxury 'G' spot vibe which is heaven! The Ora sounds intriguing but I don't really need it, hubby has a great tongue; and if he's not around, my licked fingertips are good enough.


Toys are really pricey these days. And definitely nothing beats a real tongue! smile
Quote by HeraTeleia
Unless they've managed to figure out the whole Click & Charge thing, as both Fun Factory and Minna have been able to do, no amount of fawning praise will ever convince me to purchase a LELO toy again. My encounters with the customer "service" at LELO resulted only in frustration and wasted time; my encounter with the excellent customer service at Minna USA resulted in a brand new Minna Ola being shipped to my door within 72 hours of first contacting that company. So, super glad that you're happy with your free Ora 2, but nope, not buying another LELO toy until they figure out how to a) make a truly "waterproof" toy and b) treat their customers with respect, instead of presuming that every customer is out to scam them.


I haven't had a LELO break down before, so I have never dealt with their CS. I know a friend who had an issue once and she said the process of getting a new one was pretty seamless, but sounds like you had a bad experience and are generally turned off.

You should post some reviews on the toys you like sometime if you're able to.
Quote by SereneProdigy

While reading though, I kept wondering if it would also work for rimming.
.


You can use it for rimming, but the design isn't ideal. I do think body type will factor in a bit - you will need to be able to spread ass cheeks apart, so it's best if you're playing as a couple. You can use it solo as well, but you have to be flexible enough to be able to get into a position that's comfortable and that will allow for full contact. Really, a well-lubed vibrator tip moving in circles would work just as well (in lieu of a tongue) and that way, you wouldn't have to worry about the depth of the ass cleft if you're spread wide enough.
Quote by Wilful


My only doubt was how quickly it all went down. I was kind of hoping they'd spend a bit more time at Terminus. With all the build up and foreshadowing last season, I felt it might have been a little anticlimactic. What do others think?
.


I thought they would spend more time there as well... like at least 3-4 episodes, telling more of the backstory of Terminus, involving some of the newer characters (ie. Gareth) a lot more. I have to think they might end up going back there - either for supplies or to kill everyone, as Rick wanted to do. Or maybe they'll meet up with Gareth in some other episode as he flees the compound - he's a character I'd like to hear more from. But yeah - it all went down fast. If they keep up that kind of pace it's going to be wayyy intense going forward!
