Blog Stuff

Just some quick "house cleaning" updates here in the Condo to pass along.

First. Thanks to all of you for passing the 180,000 hit mark here on the blog.
While I know the number is not that huge on the mind boggling world wide universe busting web- it is HUGE to me!!!!

While we are the subject of numbers, we have passed the 800 post mark here! That's a lot of clutter!
 On a smaller scale, I redid the "contact" section of the blog which will hopefully clarify and update contact options with me
On a bigger scale I'm trying to filter more pictures from the front page of the blog to the "Gallery" Room.
I'm also thinking of moving all video's into a new "Home Entertainment Room".

Finally, I received a copy of the new mainstream transsexual romance novel which I should start reading this week. Of course I will pass along my totally unprofessional writer's opinion!
My own book has now reached the 35,000 word mark and has a final structure and I am very enthused about the whole project's progress since the first of the year.

Once again I would like to thank all of you for stopping by!!!!!!

Equal Time

Lost in the comment section of one of my recent blog posts on "Chloe Prince" is this response from Brandi.

  1. "Ironically, a severe reaction to a bee sting triggered a drop in levels of the male hormone, testosterone."

    And if you believe that, I can sell you one of those bees for only $19.95.

    And if you act now, I will throw in a second bee at no additional cost!

    As someone who not only knows Chloe personally, but was there on her first "night out," way before the bees, and all the other horse do-do she's been peddling, I can tell you that her entire story is nothing but slickly created nonsense.

    Did she plug the "reality show" she is trying to get made of her life on there too?

    She is absolutely one of the most untrustworthy, and self-serving people you will ever meet.
  2.  (My response)

    Brandi!
    Thanks for the insight-it "smoked" my awaiting moderation box.
    I always believe in "equal time" and different info.

    I obviously don't know her ( Chloe ) personally but obviously that first night out made some sort of impact!

    In the age of ever increasing political ads on television-equal time is important. 

Transsexual Porn Bias?

I guess there is after reading this post.
I'm not really a follower of the profession but have seen various articles featuring  the more prominent stars.
Of course the porn industry has it's own awards show annually and this year "Salon.com" had this story:

"Brittany St. Jordan, a 28-year-old leggy redhead in a plunging gold number, was all dressed up with somewhere to go: the Adult Video News Awards, the so-called “Oscars for the porn industry.” But she ended up standing in line for three hours waiting to walk the red carpet, as other female performers were sent ahead. When she finally got her turn, event organizers directed her away from interviews with the press.
St. Jordan had an idea of why: Unlike the ladies who were sent right in, she’s a transsexual woman.
After the night was over, having lost in the Best Transsexual Performer category, St. Jordan took to the Web to protest her treatment. Her story inspired Kelly Pierce, a female trans performer who didn’t attend the ceremony, to write a lengthy blog post titled “AVN’s Inequality & Segregation Needs to Stop!” Soon, industry blogs and message boards picked up on the controversy."

"Brittany St. Jordan and Madison Montag"
 See if this sounds familiar to you:
"Many female transsexuals feel like they’re rejected from both the straight and gay world. “Even if you go into the [gay] clubs, transsexuals and drag queens are primarily there for entertainment,” says Williams. “It’s not really inclusive. We’re kind of in limbo, we’re in between both worlds.” In the straight world, men are often timid about revealing their interest in the genre. Most sales happen online, says Williams, who has a line of signature toys, including a $240 cyberskin mold of her ass. She says, “We’re the taboo, and where does taboo usually happen? Behind closed doors..
Madison Montag, a nominee for Transsexual Performer of the Year, says, “They (Transsexual performers) get tired of just the same old thing. Transsexuals are more feminine, they’re like hyper-feminine. To me, it’s kind of get the best of both worlds.”

Lost in all of this is the fact many transsexual girls go into the porn genre to finance their sex change surgeries.
Once again it seems no matter how some things appear different...the more they are the same. From the transgender girl next door to the transsexual porn star, many priorities are still the same.

Adjusting to Change
