What Other Calendar Offers You Incentives?

Tess — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 15:56:50 +0000

Win one of Brandon's jockstraps!

We want to sell out all our calendars days like we have for the past two years. And we want to make you happy. So our most creative models and producers, Diva and I, are offering you some added incentive to buy lots and lots of days. And buy them fast, so we can get the calendar off to print as soon as possible. It’s hard to describe the feeling you get when something you’ve pictured in your head is finally tangible. Let’s just say it’s amazing and beautiful and so satisfying. Like a long drawn out orgasm. Well, maybe not that. I do like my hyperbole.

So far, we have my favorite fuzzy bear, Matthew Lawrence, offering custom mixtapes. Read the details on Mixtapes for Hookers. When you purchase days, and want to be qualified for your custom mixtape be sure to put MIXTAPE in the remarks box at checkout.

And Diva and I are offering to take a lucky winner on a seedy NYC nightlife tour. Strip clubs, gay bars, 2 for 1 drinks, lap dances, nipplecharms, oysters and dumplings, and who knows what else. Buy 5 days to be eligible to win. You can read the details on Urban Gypsy. If you want this prize, enter TOUR in the remarks box at check out. The winner will get his/her/ $100 back in awesomeness.

It’s easy, look above and right and hit the add to cart button beneath 5 days for $100.

Music and debauchery. You know you want it.

Update:

Sadie has a promotion for you too. Choose from three photos of the very Sexie Ms. Sadie, which she’ll sign, personalize and mail out to you with your purchase of a day using the code SADIE.

Lillith Grey is offering a free ticket to the semi-annual private Glory of Rome party with your purchase of a day.

Dangerous Lilly is not to be left out. Is she ever? She’s upped the ante for those who buy days. One day gets you a personalized, signed photo and if you buy more than one day, you get access to an audio clip of Lilly masturbating. Damn, I need that for my new site, My Lips, Your Ears. Use the code LILLY if you want to take advantage of this offer.

Brandon B of the Inqueery is throwing in a Pleasure Chest gift bag as part of our Tess & Diva Sexy NYC Nightlife Tour. We’ll be making a stop at the NYC’s Pleasure Chest so the winner can pick up their gift. UPDATE: Brandon sweetens the pot even further with this when you buy a day. Straight from The InQueery, here’s what he’s ponied up – When purchasing type in UNDERWEAR BRANDON B in the comments field and you’re all set! One lucky winner will receive this signed jock in the mail in a package hot off my package. Sniff, I will miss you. So many memories in this thing…

If you win, send me pics of you and I’ll jack off into the jock looking at pictures of you.

You can even combine that with one of the other promos and get your 15% off and your naked pictures, mix tapes, etc.

And over at Deviant Dance, Luna has her own very special offer to accompany your purchase of days:

Purchase 1 day: I will do a webcam pic thank you on my blog to you.

Purchase 2-3 days: get a signed photo of me in boots in three possible looks: Innocent, Industrial or Uber Femme.

Purchase 4 days (and get the 5th free!): Get it ALL! The web cam thank you, the signed photo an a special “outtake shot” from my calendar shoot.

Use the code :”LUNA” when you purchase the days.

I’m not done, because Graydancer, who has been wonderfully supportive of the calendar from the beginning, has come up with his own unique lure. The first 5 people to include the code GRAYDANCER with their order will win an autographed copy of Gray’s book, Nawashi~Jujun. If you buy 5 days for a $100, Gray has a secret, extra special prize. It has something to do with talismans, which has me damn curious. He won’t even tell us what he has in store but knowing Gray, I know it will be magical.

And since we’re in the final stretch, with only a few days left to make your own personal statement on a calendar featuring the likes of some very sexy, sex positive people – Nina Hartley, Sexie Sadie, Lilith Grey, Jiz Lee, Brandon B, Matthew Lawrence, Mollena Williams, et al – we’re offering admission to the pre-party where models and sponsors meet and mingle before the beautiful insanity of 300 plus revelers arrive to those of you who purchase 5 days for $100. And while chaos and mayhem are indeed fun, at the pre-party you’ll get to spend some quality time, up close and personal, with some amazing people who will graciously sign your calendars and perhaps let you feed them grapes. Let the decadence, for a good cause – those who fight for your rights to sexual freedom – begin!

Wednesday is for Vixen’s – Radical Vixen

Tess — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 12:40:22 +0000

What I love about Radical Vixen is her passion; how she effortlessly merges the political and the perverse, (often the most perverse IS the political) in her blog in the same way she does in her life. Not bogged down by labels, Radical Vixen is always authentic and true to her heart and beliefs. You can see some of those aspects of her personality in the choice of photos she sent. I say choice, but it was hard for me to choose, so I pretty much used most of them. Better for us all!

Radical Vixen is a sex worker, hippie, activist and blogger. She’s been a phone sex operator for over eight years and occasionally stars in fetish spanking videos and photos. Vixen is a contributor to $pread Magazine. When not traveling, her and her husband live in the southwest surfing the web off solar power. She blogs about peace, porn and politics at RadicalVixen.com

Radical Vixen is offering a chance to win a Natural Contours BonBon Vibe when you buy a day on the 2011 calendar with the code VIXEN. Remember you can combine codes, getting signed photos of Sexie Sadie and Dangerous Lilly, a mixtape from Matthew Lawrence, 15% off your order at MauiKink.com and a chance to win the Sexy NYC Nightlife Tour with me and Diva that even includes a goodie bag from Pleasure Chest thanks to calendar model, Brandon B.

And because we’re big fans of boobs and know you are too, we’d be remiss not to include this shot of the lovely Radical Vixen.

And We Have Lift Off

Way back in February, when we announced that the 2011 calendar was going national and that the funds we raised this year would go to benefit Woodhull Freedom Foundation, June seemed lightyears away. Now, it arrives in about forty-five minutes and since June 1st was the date we promised to announce who was going to be in the calendar, it’s time to do just that.

But first, let me thank all of you, including those who we didn’t have space for, who worked hard to send us images and who wanted to be a part of this very unique and special project. If only there were enough months and space to fit everyone. The choices were hard to make, really hard, but we tried to make the best decisions we could and to fit in as many representations of different sexualities and communities as we could. We found models, or more accurately they found us, who embody the BDSM and leather communities, who show us that sex education is sexy as hell, who proudly represent and create their own porn. We have an erotic model alongside a boot black. A proponent of open marriage. A gay man or two. A straight man. Writers. Bloggers. Sex workers. All these people are so very different but they all have one overwhelming belief that bonds them and makes them ideal for this calendar; they all believe firmly in what Woodhull Freedom Foundation stands for – that sexual freedom is a fundamental human right. And they’re putting their bodies and their faces out there to say it loud and proud.

So without further ado, here’s what you’ve been waiting for, the 2011 NYC Sex Blogger Calendar models are:

Nina Hartley (Shut up! Yes, you heard it right, Nina Hartley)

Radical Vixen

Sexy Sadie

Sovereign Syre (scroll down to her Back in Black video, you will not be disappointed)

Do you count more than 13? Why yes, you do. Don’t worry, we’ve wracked our brains to come up with creative ways to feature as many people as we could and we believe you’ll be very impressed with the finished product. I mean who can you complain about us bringing you more sexy?

Chhh-Chhh-Chhh-Chhh-Changes

Things change, things remain the same.

What remains the same is that we’re planning a more than kick-ass party with surprise guests and amazing performances for the 2011 calendar launch. What’s changing is the date.

Our new date for the 2011 calendar launch party is October 1, 2010.

Why October and not November? Well, October weather in NYC is normally much better. Though the first year we were running around town clad in corsets, bustiers and slinky backless gowns, that was very atypical of NYC in November. Hopefully, we’ll be able to prance around half naked again in October.

November is smack in the middle of holiday season and we all know how stressful that can be. So, it makes sense to have the party before we need to start buying turkey (or tofurky, for those of us who eschew meat) and shopping for holiday gifts (ahem, buying calendars for those on your gift list can keep you out of the mob scene at stores and your recipients get a gift that keeps on giving all year round and helps Woodhull Freedom Foundation in their mission of affirming sexual freedom as a fundamental human right).

Finally, having the launch in October gives us more time to organize events and promote sales. We want to keep surpassing the prior years’ successes and have a lot of sexy plans to do just that.

So book your flights and get ready to enjoy autumn in NYC (I can’t promise you gorgeous weather, but chances of that are excellent).

And keep checking back here for info on hotels and all the other activities for the calendar weekend.

See you in October!

Difficult Choices Ahead!

Tess — Mon, 03 May 2010 00:27:42 +0000

The deadline for submissions to the 2011 calendar has come and gone, time sure flies these days, and I want to thank everyone who took the time and effort to send us photos. We have some really tough choices ahead of us since so many of you are wonderfully creative and that makes us wish the year had at least twice as many months. But alas, it will be our daunting task to narrow down all these awesome photos to the top 13.

If you have outtakes that are similar to the photos you submitted, please remember not to post them anywhere. I know we’re a bunch of instant gratification junkies but the rush of unveiling your photo at the calendar party in November will make it all worthwhile.

We’ll have our choices ready by June 1st and that’s when you’ll be notified whether you’re in or not.

This year is going to be a banner year for the calendar, just you wait and see. If you thought last year rocked, we plan to outdo ourselves this year, so be prepared to spend an outrageous, event filled weekend in NYC in November.

Of course, we also want to thank this year’s sponsors whose support helps to make it all possible. So visit their sites and if you’re looking to buy products, buy those you can from these amazing, socially committed people who want to see a better world where your right to sexual freedom is recognized and respected.

If you were one of the 300 who people attended last year’s calendar release party you know already what an amazing evening it was. With the fantastic raffle prizes, 200 gift bags and our very talented burlesque performers it is hard to not only throw a party equal to last year’s but to surpass it? I think we just might have done that.

This year the party will be held on November 5th once again at Fontana’s. We have two very special guests who will be attending this year in support of both the calendar and Woodhull Freedom Foundation.

I am thrilled to announce that both Carol Queen and Nina Hartley will be in NYC for the 2011 calendar release party.

While it may seem slightly early to be posting this we wanted to give everyone as much time as possible to make plans to be in NYC on November 5th for the party.

We have more fantastic plans in the works for the party that we will be announcing in the future so stay tuned.

Going National in 2011!

Tess — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:51:47 +0000

Amazing artwork, Map of Canada and the US, by Oupelay on DeviantArt, please check out the rest of his fantastic gallery.

You’ve just flipped the January page on your 2010 Sex Blogger Calendar, whispered a fond farewell to the lovely Mia Martina, and greeted the awesome Abiola Abrams, who graces February’s page, and here I am about to talk to you about 2011. If it seems early to you, you’re not alone; it seems early to me too. But 2011 is going to be a bigger and better year, hopefully for all of us, and certainly for this amazing project that started as a whim, a fun project with friends that would benefit our sex positive community, one balmy summer night.

Many of you, after seeing our fabulous calendar or coming to our kick-ass launch party, expressed an interest in being a model. We heard you and we want to give you the opportunity to be even more involved. So for 2011, we’re going NATIONAL! Yes, you heard it right, the NYC SexBlogger Calendar wants to be even more inclusive in 2011. We want any sex positive blogger/internet personality - male, female, gay, straight, queer, trans, any race, any orientation, any size - who writes/podcasts/video blogs about sex or sexuality to feel free to submit a photo. While our 2010 models are free to submit a photo, we’d like nothing better than to get thirteen brand new faces and their accompanying hot bods. I’ll get into those details in a moment, but that’s not the only change we’ve made.

For the last two years, the calendar proceeds have gone to Sex Work Awareness and allowed them to fund Speak Up!, a one day seminar in 2009 that expanded to a weekend in 2010. We are so proud to have provided the funding for those events. Megan Andelloux, in her fight with the town of Pawtucket, RI to open her adult sex education facility, The Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health, used the training she received last year which helped her win battle and CSPH is now open for business. This year, we’re thrilled to announce that the funds raised by the calendar will go to Woodhull Freedom Foundation. Woodhull Freedom Foundation Affirms SexualFreedom as a Fundamental Human Right!

We’ve known of and been supportive of WFF but when we met and talked with the board members and advisory committee of WFF at their fundraiser, a diverse group including the fabulous Carol Queen, we were really impressed with them, their professionalism and their goals. WFF has a broader focus than SWA and we want our little calendar to benefit all kinds of sexual freedom. In changing core attitudes, defining sexual freedom as a basic human right, sex workers too will reap benefits.

Now, how do you submit a photo and what is expected if we pick you to be in the 2011 calendar?

First, you email us one or more professional quality photo that represents what sexual freedom means to you or how you express your sexual freedom. The photo is to be 12 x 12 (this is SQUARE, people, be sure to let the photographer know this in advance of shooting, most photos are rectangular, so the photographer has to look with a different eye in order to shoot for square artwork). The format will be CMYK, 12 x 12 full bleed, 300 DPIx 12 full bleed image. If you’d like to discuss concepts before working with a photographer, please email me at Tess@tiedupevents.com

Along with your photo, please send a short bio and a short (or long, if you’re feeling particularly verbose on the topic) post talking about how your photo represents your sexual freedom. We would like all entrants to be able to attend our launch party on November 5, 201o in NYC, this is one reason we’re giving you all so much notice, so that plans can be hatched and funds reserved. You’ll be required to post a button on your site that links to the calendar blog and once chosen, we’ll provide a special button for models.

Because we want to also support our economy as well as our fundamental right to sexual freedom, despite our difficulties last year, we are committed to printing the calendar in the US of A, we’re not sure how much nudity we can get away with. If you feel like baring it all, we’re right there with you but we also need to be realistic about what we can get printed, so please give us some softer options. Last year, the mere sight of nipples in two photos caused a printer, even in this economy, to turn down the job.

Please include in your email any suggestions you have for promoting the calendar and WFF on your site -contests, etc. Working with us in promoting the calendar is an important component of being a part of this project.

Submissions must be received by May 1, 2010.

More details will follow and we’ll post the Photo Submission Guidelines on a separate page so you can review them easily.

In the meantime, if you’d be so kind as to repost this far and wide, from sea to shining sea, we’d be most appreciative. Let’s get everyone who believes that sexual freedom is a fundamental human right talking and participating in this project and sharing in the fun with us.
