today I was wearing a strait jacket...

and yesterday I was called schizophrenic! its true...
OK, rewind to last night at 7pm-ish. I do this mentor thing and we had a group meeting last night. Group meaning all the kids and their mentors hang out together and do meaningful, fun activities. Last night we did this thing called "true colors". Its a personality type test using colors. The guy leading the meeting started to explain by showing an orange card and saying his ex-wife was orange... spontaneous, risk taker and he held up the green card which he said he is. Green is logical, analytical, conceptual. They are opposites and have difficulties getting along as a result. Long story short, we eventually took this test to show what our personality types are. There are two other colors Blue=compassionate, gold=organized... After struggling through the test the guy used me as an example. I have a SPLIT PERSONALITY! shocking I know! I am tied between green and orange! Actually clears a lot of things up for me! maybe you too if you know me!
So, that's the schizophrenic part, now lets get to the strait jacket! We had a product meeting today with Pipedreams and they have a new item... men and women's strait jackets! I tried on the white women's one. I wiggled out of it in 20 seconds! obviously for fun not reality. Yep, strait jackets can be fun too! Who am I???? Maybe a bit more off than you imagined... that's all! =P

Classic lines from Honey's Sales meetings!

This one came from the boss herself!!!

"I say NO to the Cock and the Butt Plug and Yes to the big vibe!"...

Of course me being me... I said, I'm sorry can you repeat that?! We were all laughing so hard we cried! Product review meetings are so funny! Our job is a blast!

walk of shame

we've all done it! VEGAS: AVN Show, Hustler Lingerie Party at Lavo, very fun party! With a group of girls. First time I've ever been in a group that "got moved to the main stage"... anyway, after SEVERAL drinks and dances with various friends, clients, etc... I'm ready to split. The party got super packed and you could barely move. I'd had enough. Tonya and I say goodbye to everyone and dance our way out the club. She is staying in the Pilazzo Casino where the club is, which is connected to the Venetian. This year I was staying at the Mirage across the street, but my boss had a room at the V so I had a key to her room to use to change close, etc... I had walked over from the Mirage in jeans and a t-shirt after unpacking earlier. My sexy dresses were in her room. Ok, now that you know this much, picture this:
I'm walking through the various hallways of shops and restaurants connecting the Venetian to the Palazzo. My feet feel like I'm walking on broken glass every step of the way. I decide I simply cannot do it, so I sit on a bench and remove the strappy stiletto's. Fine, I can handle walking through the casino in my sexy black dress barefoot just this one time!
I finally make it to Bonnie's room doing the "pee dance"... yep, I've got to pee so bad! UGH! My room key doesn't work! GRRRRR! All I can think of is how badly I have to pee so I go back down to the casino to the bathroom to pee, STILL BAREFOOT! (Loooooosssssseeeeerrrrrr!!!).
Well, instead of going back up to Bonnie's room & changing into the jeans and t-shirt with my sketchers, so I look normal walking across the street, I figure, I'm half way there so I'll just head back through the casino and outside across the street to the Mirage Casino... BAREFOOT!!!! YEP! Drunk, tired, my feet are killing me and I look like a used up WHORE!!!??? VERY CLASSY!! I heard people whispering as they walked past me "she's barefoot"... "that girl was barefoot"...
AND, that's not the worst part yet! Nope!
I finally made it through the Mirage casino to the hotel elevators and up to my room, ONLY TO FIND THAT MY OWN ROOM KEY DIDN'T WORK EITHER!!!! That was it! I had to draw the line there! I was not walking back down to the front desk. OH YEA... I FORGOT, I left my ID in Bonnie's room in my other purse! I couldn't even prove it was my room! UGH!
Wasted, exhausted, dirty bare feet... I call the hotel security to let me in my room from the house phone by the elevators. Then I FELL ASLEEP on the little bench they have in the hallway by the elevators. So, when security finally came they were waking me up telling me "mam, you have to go to your room, you cannot sleep here!"... what a looooossssseeeerrrr!
I proceed to tell them that I am the one they came up here for. I could not prove I was me or it was my room... but it was me I promise! I finally found A (one) of my business cards in the little clutch purse I was carrying and that was my ticket into my room! WHEW! talk about a walk of shame! After all that I was pist off and hungry so I at the $4 M&M's out of the minibar. Even more of a loooosssseeeerrrr!!!
So, if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at!

Oprah talks SEX!!!

not sure if you caught Dr. Berman on Oprah recently. As a result of the overwhelming amount of interest and questions sent in from her viewers, Oprah had a follow up webcast on Friday the 16th for about an hour and a half with Dr. Berman. She answered skyped in calls from all sorts of people, couples, races, age groups, all over the country. Seemed to be an equally balanced representation of people. They carefully asked pretty explicit questions about all sorts of topics on sex. Being online allowed for a more open discussion due to lack of fcc regulations. I am so pleased that the machine of Oprah chose this format and subject! It was a very positive communication supporting sex in relationships with yourself and with your partner even if you have certain spiritual beliefs. Dr. Berman spoke positively about healthy use and necessity of SEX TOYS and PORN in our lives. How a healthy sex life supports and positively effects ALL AREAS OF OUR LIVES from parenting, managing stress to connectivity to your partner and even knowing yourself better on all levels. It was exciting and uplifting to watch from a human and business perspective! I am looking forward to this webcast going a long way in supporting the Adult Industry business which is often judged and frowned upon by the masses who also seem to enjoy it.
If you are interested you can go onto Oprah.com and watch the webcast "on demand" any time. Educational and uplifting as well as exciting to see sex get the thumbs up from such an icon as Oprah in our society!

go easy on Obama please

everyone is so excited about the inauguration, our new president, a moment in history. Obama is walking into the biggest mess ever! He's also the first African American President of USA... as we know, hence, history being made. He has made a lot of great promises of change with a lot of "hope"... in 3 years when everything is not fixed, or perfect, lets not blame Obama. Knowing the mentality of the people in our country he could also go down in history as the stupid N-word that f'd up the US. My point is, there is so much that needs to be fixed and its unreasonable to expect it could be fixed within 4 years. I believe he will make changes for the good whether we see their effects immediately or not. He seems like the most decent and sincere person we have voted in in years. We all have to keep things into perspective and do our part to help this country too. Yes, one person can make a difference. Just look around yourself and see what you might do to make a difference. No matter how small. Please, go easy on Obama, he is human and our country is severely f'd up!

going to be missed!

I turned on my stereo in my office this morning. As usual I switch around on the stations to find my groove for the day. Today I landed on Indie 103.1, in my top two choices. I got chills when I heard the solemn announcement. Indie 103.1 is going off the air effective immediately. Due to corporate radio structure and the inability to honor the values by which they started the station in the first place they are removing themselves from the airwaves. They will however be streaming live online at www.indie1031.com for all of us to enjoy with no restrictions, guidelines or laws. THE MAN KILLED MY FAVORITE RADIO STATION! UGH! I can't tell you how shocked I was. I was unable to function! I was being called into a sales meeting but I couldn't move past the news. I was devastated! It was all I could think of. This was the station I got to do that radio show on. The Coup d'Tadt... I submitted a play list and right before Halloween my list was chosen and I got to go in and BE THE DJ FOR AN HOUR! It was one of the coolest experiences of my life! I am so happy to have had that opportunity with this station! I realize they will be even cooler online but still, not as accessible to me. If you are interested, log on and listen for a bit. Farewell to a rockin good friend! Farewell Indie, and thanks for not conforming to the man!
