Editor’s Pick

Fun Factory Laya Spot by Thursday’s Child

I think I might finally understand all of the buzz surrounding the Laya Spot! I’m a fan of strong vibrators, and most of the battery powered vibrators just can’t compare to my go-to vibrator, the Hitachi Magic Wand. But this funny little vibrator is strong! Really strong. And quiet, too!

365 Self-Portraits Challenge

By Tai Fenix Kulystin

On January 3, 2009

In Introspection

This year I’m planning on doing a 365 self-portraits challenge. I set up a sub-domain on Deviant Decadence for it, and will be posting self-portraits of me on there every day from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009. That’s the goal anyway.

I’m already running a little behind, but I’m sneaky and am okay with posting two pictures today for the past two days and just pretending like they were there the whole time. That’s cheating a little, I know, but I don’t really care.

This also means I’ll probably be participating every week in HNT’s since I’ll be taking pictures of me anyway.

Why am I wanting to do this?

Well, partially because I want to get in the mode of taking photos every day. Also, I was looking for photos of myself over the last couple years, and aside from my HNT pics and face shots I took for this site specifically or when my hair changed I really didn’t have that many photos of myself.

I don’t usually like pictures of myself, so this is a way for me to get out of that (maybe) and start looking at myself. It’s a way for me to get more comfortable with images of my face and my body, though I love it sometimes I still have a difficult time much of the time with loving and accepting my body, and viewing it every day may help with that.

I also really want to get better at photography in general, and I think that over the year of taking photos of myself I’ll be able to work with and understand both my camera and photography in general better. I’ll get used to viewing the world through the lens and learn what’s right for me. I now have a tripod and a remote for my camera as well (got both for xmas) and so I should be able to do some awesome things. Once we move I’m hoping to get some lighting as well.

In the Year 2008

By Tai Fenix Kulystin

On January 1, 2009

In Introspection

Yes, yes, a yearly review post is a little cliche, but it’s also nice for me to think about what has happened over the past year, and maybe nice for you to read about it and recall some of the things that made up my year. Some things feel like they were years ago, when they were really just a few months. It’s funny how perception of time is such a fluctuating thing.

In 2008…

I started this blog, and many other online projects (The Femme’s Guide to Absolutely Everything, Deviant Decadence, Wanton Lotus, and last but not least Pleasurists).
I finished my double Bachelors of Science degrees in Gender Studies and Psychology
I was unemployed for over five months.
I started reviewing sex toys, first for Nod Nightmares, then VibeReview, SexToy.Com, Vibrator.Com, PinkCherry, Babeland, and Tabu Toys (although their reviews haven’t come out yet I received the items in 2008)
I embraced my switchy nature completely instead of partially (I used to call myself a slave who Tops on occasion).
Onyx and I tried very hard to make our strict O/cp relationship work, and when it didn’t seem to we tried switching, which does seem to work.
I fucked Onyx with a strap-on multiple times. Though I had previously used toys on him I had not used a strap-on on him before 2008.
Onyx and I celebrated three years together and two years living together.
We got a little more involved in the kink community here in SLC and went to our first play party.
I went to Europe for the first time in May, England and Norway. I also went to NYC for the first time.
I met Kat and glen face-to-face in May (went to England with Kat to meet glen)

I’m sure there was more that happened in 2008, those are just the highlights, but it was a good year. I may add more later if I think of other things.

2009 is going to be a great one as well. T-two weeks until we move to Seattle!

Giveaway on Pleasurists!

By Tai Fenix Kulystin

On December 28, 2008

In Giveaways, Link Carnivals

Remember my three restraints and a blindfold review a while back? Which was also my first video review? Well, as I mentioned in the review and the video, PinkCherry.Com was gracious enough to send me not one of each of those four kinky items, but two so that I could give them away on Pleasurists!

Japanese Love Rope	Taboo Kinky Cuffs
Black “Pleasure”/Bondage Tape	Pleasure Masks

This is the first contest on Pleasurists, and I hope it will get a lot of entrants. All you have to do is comment over there saying which one you want, why, and promise to write a review of the product after you get it that can be included in Pleasurists. Not too much to ask, right?

Go over and enter!

Don Wands Candy Cane by Curvaceous Dee

Verdict: A gorgeous present to go in any bad girl’s stocking – or a good girl’s stocking, if you want to corrupt her in a most pleasant fashion.

Note: I couldn’t pass up picking this particularly festive toy! There are some gorgeous pictures with this review as well (as usual for Dee).

Babeland Penis Cupcake Pan by Mariella

“The gritty stickiness of frosting on my hands, between my fingers; a bowl of the flesh-colored remnants still sitting in the fridge.

A lone plate on the kitchen table.

Fragrant, still warm–six little cocks, all lined up in a neat little row.”

Ophoria Pleasure #6 by Wendy Blackheart
“Well fuck me in the ass.
No really. That’s what I did as soon as I got this toy out of the package!”
Note: How could I resist picking a toy called Pleasure #6 for Pleasurists #6? But more than that, this review made me want to own an Ophoria Pleasure #6, which is the highest criteria for my weekly pick.
