Alice in W(un)derland

Consider this  a prelude to what will be coming from me shortlY.
If you know me at all, personally, you know that I can be a bitch when I’m shafted. You’d also know that I’m likely the first person to say I fucked up when I have. If anything, I’m more likely to take on responsibility [...]

Being the ‘IT’ Girl

My second FetishCon has come and gone. Oddly enough this last one came at a point of change as did the first. The third one is approaching rapidly, and I’m torn as to whether or not to attend.  Quite frankly, if I don’t know I have work booked, I’d rather go to Floating World and [...]

What Speak Up! Did for Me: REDUX

I’ve been mulling over my experience at the Speak Up! Media Training seminar I recently attended. Miss Calico has done a beautiful job here of describing the days events, so I’m not going to try to reinvent that wheel.
I haven’t written anything since the seminar, not for lack of desire, because the question of ‘what’s [...]

Acquitted

I haven’t been out much to socialize or play for quite some time. Minor moments here and there, but it’s been a while.

I’ve avoided the more public events for… reasons that may or may not be(come) apparent in here.

Tonight I went out, and it was, in many ways, pivotal.

I arrived, and saw a good friend, [...]

What’s in a Name?

Truthfully I don’t think about this much, for myself. I forget, however, that for some it isn’t so simple, and therefore some don’t see mine as simplicity.

Nix, nickname for Nicole, not a scene name, but what my day to day friends mostly call me.

Nix Nepenthe, ok, well there we do have a pseudonym, chosen for [...]

Jumbled Thoughts

Someone has me thinking about my ex and … ‘Sir’.

Just for clarity, ‘Sir’ is a play partner who happens to have always been addressed as such by me, simply due to how our relationship began and continues to develop. He made mention early on that it would be interesting if I were never to [...]

I guess I’ve been feeling a little insecure…

“If I were a real writer..”

“If I were a real sex worker..”

Both of these have been called into question, if only nominally, in recent weeks. Truth is I once fancied a career in writing. I wrote for and later edited a publication from Exeter NH called ‘The Free Press’. To my knowledge, up until the [...]

If I were a REAL Sex Worker…..

If I were a REAL sex worker/writer I’d write about the iniquity I see daily. But if I did, I wouldn’t have the liberty to portray my subjects concerns first and foremost, would I? After all, a ‘real’ writer is one who gets paid, right? Such tripe as truth would shut a paper down lickety-split. [...]
