I’m hoping this year to be able to do at least one day at the con. I haven’t bought tickets yet because my schedule is so booked that I’m not sure when I will be able to escape. Let me know if you might be there, I’d love to meet!!

To say that Chrissy Daniels and Sunny hit it off would be a masterpiece of understatement. Sunny spent the night; in the morning they cooked breakfast together; by lunch Chrissy’s flight was booked to return next month. No, we are not making this up…

My to-do list includes going back and re-releasing our most popular videos in DVD quality, but it’s going to be a while before that happens. This is a one-woman show, so please be patient with me. Making ipod/iphone videos is also high on my to-do list, and making the sites more accessible to mobile devices is another priority. Keep an eye out for more youtube videos as well! So, that’s the future of Cyber-Dyke.net. Members, please be in touch about how you like the changes, what works best for you and any special requests.

Also, I am STILL struggling with the new blog design. It just isn’t agreeing with me for some reason, but I am still working on it.

This toy is a phalate-free TPR plastic called velvet touch. It is a waterproof, but can’t be totally sterilized like silicone. If the toy is going to be shared, and this one will be, make sure to use a condom over it. Otherwise it can be cleaned with soap and water or a 10% bleach solution. It has an adjustable speed dial on the same end where you insert the two AA batteries. It is pretty much silent. I don’t think you can hear it buzz unless you are the person using it. The total length is six inches and it’s not really shaped to be inserted. I tried. It didn’t work.

The toy has a nice curvy shape and the tip is slightly angled. The surface has these raised bumps around the center length. It really is shaped to spoon your vulva. I like that this toy touches all over your labia and vulva instead of just hitting the clit. If you like stimulation all over you will probably like this. I didn’t feel the vibration particularly focused in any one area of the toy. I liked the curve below the angled head on my clit, but I’m not sure if the vibration was really focused there. It certainly wasn’t focused in the tip or the head of the toy.

I could feel that the toy had a strong motor and the vibrations were reasonably powerful. I didn’t really get off on it though. It felt nice and I was able to enjoy myself, but I’m really used to have a vibe really strongly focus on my clit.

I was, of course, very excited when I heard about a zine for transmen. There are so many resources and so much visibility for MTF transwomen. I suppose they probably start with some amount of male privilege and people think that drag queens are interesting. Transmen don’t have the same visibility and this is the first time I heard about media being created by transmen for transmen. Original Plumbing is a gorgeous photo heavy zine. Issue #1 features interviews and pictures of five transmen plus articles and stories. This is the “bedroom issue” where we get to know the guys in their own homes and their own skin. There are a few full color pictures and the cover is full color, as much as you can reasonably get printed at this price. I was particularly impressed with the diversity of folks, covering different races, ethnicities and social classes, but they also make sure to cover a diverse range of body sizes, shapes, surgeries and hormone use. The articles and stories seems to be written for transmen. One article is about the German health care system paying for surgeries for gender transition, and another about hookups on craigslist. The stories are lovely snippets of life stories, and there is no indication if they’re fictional or not. It’s half-sized, meaning it’s the size of a standard 8.5 x 12 sheet of paper folded in half. There are fifty pages, and they even have advertising, though it seems to be mostly ads for porn sites. Original Plumbing is published quarterly.

#2 is on order. I went ahead and bought a subscription.

Cyber-Dyke has not neglected the fine art of foot fetish. FootFemme is one of our most popular sites, and I think get I get more comments and email about that site than any other. I haven’t found any other real queer made by lesbians foot fetish sites out there, and believe me I’ve looked!
