Seattle Erotic Art Festival 2007

I am disappointed in the Erotic art Festival this year. We went both Saturday and Sunday, hoping after our visit Saturday, that perhaps Sunday would offer more - more everything, I guess. It didn't.

I mean there were a few exceptionally beautiful and exceptionally erotic pieces in the smallish space, but we walked around the whole place and didn't see much of interest.

One of our very favorite artists did have pieces in the juried and invited show this year, Carolyn Weltman. Her piece Omi, a giclee print on rag paper, for one. She is a hot artist! Check out her stuff at her Art at Large pages, for a real treat


Another artist that we enjoyed this year was an artist we hadn't seen before at the Art Festivals, but wow! Tricia Boyko's Porno Corset, really sexy in an unexpected way. She is apparently a costume designer in Vancouver, BC, and this piece was beautifully executed!

But honestly? We were both rather disappointed in the smaller than last year's offerings, and a few pieces, we wondered how the heck the jury picked 'those'!

Parking and traffic sucked, not all that unusual for Seattle, I suppose, but Saturday was also a huge St. Patrick's Day Parade a few blocks north of the venue, so yuck.

Podcasts and Panties

Ok, I have an admission to make: I am not a geek, not even close! Frankly, learning all these new and geeky things is scaring me worse than my first time under the glowing bulb of the Violet Wand.

I am still working hard on the website, and just published Tawseman's Swicki, (the one down there VVVVVV) and now am learning how to do podcasts and flash pages, along with gif animations. lol, the gif animations for the website will be a bit of fun when they are done.

The podcast sessions are a bit harder to learn, but that is probably because I have to learn scripting and podcast software at the same time, plus I am lining up guests for interviews and a couple of surprises.

Oh, the panties in the title...I was allowed to buy three pair of panties for my book signing tour next month. Usually, Master prefers me to not wear panties, but he thinks for the book signings and other non-lifestyle events, panties might be a good idea. Actually, they look a bit silly, those three little pair of panties in that big underwear drawer.

new swicki search tool! very cool

I have been looking for a great search tool for us and 'I think I've got it, by jove!'

Swicki, silly name, but cool tool.

Fun Stuff

well, it has been a few days since I posted here. part of the reason is that I was flying again (still?) from a great hot violet wand scene with my Master, and partly because Michelle turned me on to some awesome webmaster tools and newsletter development sites.

first, here is what I remember about the scene - IT WAS HOT! lol, yeah, I don't really remember much after the first few minutes but I do remember screaming 'thank you, Master!' about a billion times and I do remember cumming so much that I was dehydrated the next morning. Fortunately, though, Master always thinks ahead and had a big juice bottle of pineapple and cherry juice he had frozen earlier waiting next to my side of the bed...melted just enough to drink and still icy cold.

The new tools and toys Michelle turned me onto are going to help us make A Caged Heart community a great place for kinksters and explorers! One tool is Constant Contact's publication software and email management system. I am so thrilled to find this site!

I will post more later. Right now, I am going to go design our Grand Opening newsletter with special membership discounts and preorder specials for Whispered Dreams, and then, later I will install a chat program to play around with. Oh yeah, I also need to find cool BDSM avatars for chatters and install those too. Dang, I also will need to set up the photo album soon, so that we can publish the pics from our violet wand session.
