No witty commentary from me tonight. I’m cranky and need to get away from the computer and watch something funny on TV, I think. Hope you all are having a good week. Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday!
For some reason, the people who owned our house before us put a red light in the hall fixture downstairs. This light is right outside our new guest room (aka the sex cave – like the bat cave except with fucking and sex toys). It’s always seemed kind of weird to me but we’ve never gotten around to changing it out. While the red light may have been strange before, it has taken on a new significance now. With the sexy red light on, you get a hint of what will be happening behind the guest room door.

Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday!
I couldn’t pass up doing this TMI Tuesday as I am a regular participant in Half-Nekkid Thursday.
It was 4 years ago today that Half-Nekkid Thursday (HNT) became an official thing. Happy Birthday and thanks for the memories.
1. Have you ever participated in HNT? If so, when? If not, why not? Yes, I regularly participate in HNT. In fact, my first blog post here was for HNT.
2. Have you ever avoided certain sites because of the HNT pictures that were posted? No, I haven’t avoided anyone because of their pictures. I quite enjoy the range of pictures posted each week.
3. Have you ever posted a HNT picture that you wish that you hadn’t? I don’t think so. There are certainly some pictures I’ve posted that I like less than others but none that I regret.
4. Do you email/text/call anyone regularly with someone you met through HNT? I’m not sure if I “met” Lucy, Dangerous Lilly,and Bad Bad Girl through HNT (I might have discovered them just before I found HNT) but if I did, I still chat/Twitter with them quite often. (P.S. Happy birthday, Lilly!)
5. What percentage of your online friends are current or former HNTers? Ummm, probably more than 50% (I’m horrible at estimating).
6. Does anyone in your “real” life know that you do HNT (if, of course, you do)? Yes. I have a few real life friends who know about my blog and thus, know about my participation in HNT.
7. Other than previously-known friends, have you met any fellow HNTers? Yes. I’ve met Scarlet Lotus St. Syr and Butchtastic Kyle, both of whom participate in HNT.
8. Have you ever downloaded someone else’s HNT pictures? No but sometimes I’m lucky enough to get to see some HNT pictures ahead of time (thank you Dangerous Lilly and Lucy!).
BONUS QUESTION: Have you ever submitted a picture for “…the Other HNT”? Yes, back when I first started the blog I submitted one or two pictures to OHNT. But, really, I’m not holding much back here picture-wise so there’s not really a point to me posting to OHNT when I’m not opposed to having pictures of myself posted here.
When I saw the Gold Digger Vibrator, I was excited. It’s wasn’t that I needed another vibrator, no, it was the sparkly, shiny jewels that enticed me. I’m a girly girl and love pretty things. It seemed the Gold Digger Vibrator was right up my alley!
The package arrived from Babeland and I promptly ripped it open. The vibe is packaged in a plastic clam shell and is made by Doc Johnson. It is black with orange “jewels” around the base, is made of phthalate-free ABS, and is waterproof. The vibe has a length of 6.5″. For a vibrator like this, insertable length is not a concern for me because I know I’ll only want to use it on my clitoris. The Gold Digger takes two AA batteries and the escalating vibrations are controlled by twisting the bottom of the base.
First impressions: I love the silky feel of this vibe. The jewels, however, were not quite what I was expecting. They are quite raised from the base and are haphazardly glued in. I suppose this doesn’t matter too much as the jewels won’t be that visible when the toy is in use. But it was disappointing for me because I was excited about getting a sparkly, shiny toy. (ETA from Alec: I remembered on the website they say to ”use a condom for insertion to keep your jewels sitting pretty”. Sure seems like an extra hassle to me.)
I loaded the batteries in and got down to work. I know that I need maximum speed to get off so I promptly cranked this baby all the way to high. Let’s just say that no one will ever accuse this vibe of being too quiet. But a little noise never stopped me! While the Gold Digger felt quite good against my clit, I knew almost right away that I wouldn’t be able to get off on the vibrations alone. Thankfully I had my sweet Alec there to (quite literally) lend me a hand. I did manage to have an orgasm but I’m fairly sure I would never be able to use this vibrator on my clit without other aids and still come.
I think this vibrator could be a good choice as a first toy for a beginner or for someone who doesn’t need super strong vibrations to orgasm. I like that the Gold Digger is made of phthalate-free materials and is waterproof. The price is pretty reasonable for this type of vibe. I think I would have liked this toy more if the vibrations were stronger and the jeweled decorations were a little less cheap looking. I’m not looking for a diamond-encrusted vibrator but I also don’t want to worry that the plastic jewels on my toy are going to pop off. My verdict: a good starter toy but if you’re looking for something flashy and a bit more serious, keep searching.
This weekend we bought a bed for our “guest” room. We have no plans for guests to come stay with us (yet) but we were getting damn tired of hunting for a spot to have sex every time the mood struck us. You see, we’re dirty hippies that let their children sleep in their room. Yep, we’re “those” kind of people. This is a fabulous arrangement for our family, not such a fabulous arrangement for the husband and wife who might actually want to have sex in a bed every once in a while. So, I cleaned out a spare room, we got a bed and new linens and – voila! – instant (practically) sex get-away.
The last two nights have been so much fun in our new room. We have our own space to get away to. It’s far from the kids so we don’t have to worry about waking them. It’s quiet and cozy. We light a few candles, have some wine, and get down to business. I love it! I can’t wait to do some more work to make our space even more inviting.

Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday! Go on, check out what all the other half-nekkid peeps are up to.
We are way overdue for a “performance” here at the old blog so we got busy tonight to remedy that problem.
A huge thank you to Scarlet Lotus St. Syr for loaning me the clothes for this shoot. You can be my stylist anytime, dahling!
Head on over to Osbasso’s place to see what the the rest of the internet is up to for Half-Nekkid Thursday.
