And thanks! Yes, it was nice to be approached based on the quality of my work. That means a lot to me. I'm still mulling it over and I'm trying to decide what's best. I don't want to rush into a new relationship. And thank you also for the kind words about my work. That really means a lot to me too. ;) As for the lazy geisha product line... lol! Stay tuned!!! Thanks! nina Hi Wendy,

You seem very honest about it all, and you put a lot of time and energy into this for seemingly not much money. If you can keep control of your content and stay true to yourself, why not? As long as I'm not reading some story with constant add placement (ala The Truman Story), I'll stay true. AND, CONGRATULATIONS!! It is wonderful to be recognized for something you do well! I've learned tons from you about everything from fiber cable lines to fine products. Even the Barack/Hillary issue-you are great fun and informative! So keep doing it and buy yourself a nice present with your profits!! (maybe a luxury box/suite at Fenway?) ;) Also, I'm all for you starting your own product line. Let me know if you are looking for investors! Wendy Hi Nina,

Well -- my girlparts got a seal of approval! :razz: One cannot claim sluttery status if her girlparts aren't up to the task! You know -- it's never been about the money. I mean, whatever I make is enough to pay my yearly hosting fees and it gives me more money to spend on makeup and stuff for me. It isn't as if I need the income or depend on it to live my life. The extra is nice, but I'm going to spend what I'm going to spend anyway, so it isn't like it makes a huge dent. It might be more trouble than it's worth. I think the idea of being approached and asked is kind of nice tho -- considering the company. I would love to do my own line! That's something that's been in the back of my mind for a while now. I need to look into making that happen. Still thinking tho. (with my very healthy vagina!) Mwah! nina Hi Caitiebelle!

You have to keep those in good working order, lest you be required to forego your slut status. I know for me personally, I avoid advertising. Even on my main site, which is labor and cost intensive. Of course, it is geared towards teens, and trying to sell sex toys to teens would attract unwanted attention. I do wish that were legal. If you need the money, then I'd seriously consider it. If it didn't generate enough money to make a dent in the pocketbook, then as far as I am concerned it is just one more person/group to be beholden to and they all have rules about how/where their ads can appear, etc. More trouble than it is worth, IMO. Unless, of course, it is something you are directly involved in. A good example would be the <i>Lazy Geisha</i> line of butt plugs, strap-ons, and personal lubricants. If that were the case, then of course, advertise away! ;-) Ah, yes, sluts don’t like having their girly bits broken or defective, so the periodic inspection is required.
