    <content type="html">Very early this morning, while I was still asleep I got a text, "you're on the vote for fan guest of honor at fetishcon! "  I think I thought it was a really nice dream until I woke up and read the email, "Hey, we put you on as a choice for fan guest of honor at Fetishcon! "  HOLY SHIT!  HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Okay, so guys, you now have two things that I'm vote whoring for. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    *  Please vote for me as model in &lt;a href="http://bondageawards.com/stage_one_voting.asp"&gt;The Bondage Awards&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    *  Please, please, please pleasssssse vote for me as &lt;a href="http://fetishcon.com/fanschoice.html"&gt;fan guest of honor at Fetishcon&lt;/a&gt;!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to be able to see me in the flesh at Fetishcon you need to make me a guest of honor.  Normally I'm running all over the place shooting 24/7 at the convention and you won't get a chance to see me.  If I win GoH, I'll be chained to my booth (literally, if you're into that) and you'll be able to hang out with me any time the convention floor is open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I make GoH I will have special presents for fans who voted for me at my booth at the con!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should vote for me at the bondage awards as well, for every new tier of voting I make it to, I'll put up a new free photoset on the site.  If I win the bondage awards I'll give away three free memberships to the site!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you REALLY want me to win the fetishcon slot and the bondage model awards, spread the links out, ask people to vote for me.  Email me screenshots of you doing this and I'll send you a special present for spreading the gospel of Isobel!  My email is isobelwren at gmail dot com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Oh, and if you're worried about what these voting pages look like, don't be.  They're totally safe and not scary.  No loud music, no pop ups or banner ads.  Voting for me on the fetishcon site does send an email, so make sure you're not logged in to your work email!  If you're gonna get into trouble because of me it had better be the sexy kind of trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you so much for voting for me, you guys know how appreciative I can be and I fully plan on showing all my...appreciation :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's me votewhoring, Please vote.  I really appreciate it</content>

    <content type="html">I was going through my to do list in notepad today.&amp;nbsp; The list gets a little long and sometimes I don't update it so I go through it and look and clear out things or move them.&amp;nbsp; It's sort of the digital equivalent of that desk in the corner of the kitchen where you put things that you don't want to lose or forget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this To Do list I have a list of magazines I want to be in.&amp;nbsp; It was with a great deal of pride that I deleted "Taboo"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, I actually updated my credits list and resume today and it took a decidedly more naughty turn....but I suppose that if I'm going to be big heap fetish model I kind of have to get used to sounding naughty.</content>

    <content type="html">I told my, I guess you'd call him my business partner or business mentor in addition to friend, about the Nerve thing and he really latched onto the "gaudy heels" thing.  I don't know if he really just hates those shoes or if he just thought it was funny.  We picked up a copy of my Taboo (February 2008, "Isobel, Isolation Ward") and wouldn't you know it?  I am wearing the same damn heels in both the Taboo and the Nerve spread.  Four hours later and I still occasionally hear him giggle and go, "gaudy heels"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to have to auction those heels off now.  They're overshot.</content>

    <content type="html">I just checked out my Nerve.com set b/c they gave me a temporary member password.&amp;nbsp; It makes me laugh just the way people interpret things and the way a photo's meaning changes depending on what you say about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The set was originally 12 photos of me masturbating in different ways with different props and was called "self discovery".&amp;nbsp; I pitched it this way to Nerve.&amp;nbsp; They ended up purchasing three more photos, rounding the set to 15 and then retitled it "Starlet" and made it into the story of a starlet's life in LA.&amp;nbsp; It's actually sort of a compelling story, strange, but compelling but it's so different from the way I saw it that I'm a little off-balanced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My favorite photo was of me in pink heels with my butt up against the tub, letting the water fall on my clit.&amp;nbsp; All you see is legs, heels, water and grasping hands.&amp;nbsp; I thought it was erotic.&amp;nbsp; Here's what Nerve says, "Despaired by her loveless marriage and declining fame, she drowns herself in the bath, wearing only the gaudy heels that she wore in her final film, which bombed."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...I guess those heels &lt;i&gt;were&lt;/i&gt; pretty gaudy.</content>

    <content type="html">So here's a fun email exchange.  There was a toplist website that I wrote asking to be on since they use their site to promote peace and an end to violence against women.  I asked them how I could help, "fight the good fight" and here is what the (male) owner of the site responded:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I suppose the first thing you can do to help fight the good fight is remove the words 'dirt' and 'dirty' from your site, and your mind. If you truly think that sex is dirty and that women who enjoy it are perverts then you can't do anything to help us, or women, sorry. In fact, it's the idea that sexual women are immoral (dirty) that we are fighting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We don't think there's anything immoral, degrading, sinful, bad, dirty, or destructive about female beauty and sexuality. We think it's perfectly normal and healthy for women to have an interest in it and to enjoy it. In fact, we believe it holds the power to save the world by inspiring people to feel good about themselves and the things they love in the world. And still more than that we think it's meant to inspire rational selfishness in people (the kind that involves pursuing one's larger goals and dreams).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I haven't offended you and you'd like to talk more about this subject then I'd be happy to hear back from you. Or if you make those changes we'd be happy to add your site to our toplist and to have you as a friend to our site and our cause. It's a rare pleasure to hear from such an intelligent person."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to wonder where I'd uttered such thoughts on my site, since I certainly don't harbor them.  I looked at my site in detail and wrote this back:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Okay seriously?  You're not going to link to me because I say that I'm 'dirty minded' and write 'dirty stories'?  I say those each ONCE on the site.  Or was it, '[sign up] to get the real dirt'?  'Real&lt;br /&gt;dirt' is a slang much like, 'the scoop', journalists say it.  All of the above are common slang terms that both men and women use.  Besides, would a person who thinks the things you say I do start her own erotic website?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think there's anything wrong with calling myself a pervert (which I don't think I have on the site, yet) or saying that I have a dirty mind.  I know that I like sex that is different from 'the norm'.  I know I'm an exhibitionist and that I get off on having people get off to me.  There are a lot of other things that turn me on that are the dictionary definition of perverse.  That is a-okay with me.  I'm happy with myself and my life, I own my perversion and I use it to label myself for fellow perverts and set myself aside from the mundane.  To me, being able to use the term 'dirty minded' or 'pervert' is much like calling oneself a queer or a slut.  I own it, I use it, I own myself.  I am proud and no one can take that away from me.   Yes.  I am all of those things that they say I am and it doesn't make me wrong or bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This pervert pays her taxes and loves her mother.  This slut is the best, most open and honest girlfriend you've ever seen.  This dirty minded girl makes sure that everyone she's with is satisfied with themselves and open with each other.  This dirty story writer has nothing wrong with her and is a good person who has free speech and can call herself whatever she wants to.  This exhibitionist will not change her writing, her words, her thoughts or her feelings for someone who is trying way too hard to be way too PC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You think I'm intelligent but you think that I don't know what my words mean and you think that I'm not smart enough to choose them on my own or speak for myself.  I think you're right, we won't work out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isobel Wren&lt;br /&gt;proud pervert, slut, and dirty minded exhibitionist"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep.  That about sums it up.&lt;br /&gt;Mood:Indignant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other thoughts.  &lt;br /&gt;-He should really pay more attention to attitudes and less attention to words.&lt;br /&gt;-I bet he supports anti thought crime legislation.  I'm sorry, but I thought this was America, where everyone is entitled to their own thoughts, even if we think those thoughts are more repugnant than Tub Girl&lt;br /&gt;-Yes, that's right, Tub Girl is the visual I wanted to leave you with.</content>

    <content type="html">I love the late night HBO shoes.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was dropping Randy off at D&amp;D today and I crossed a street called Yerxa, which is really less of a street name than than the scrabble tiles you have left over at the end of a game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if you have a sex change MtF if it feels about the same as having a vagina that was born with you.  I mean, the skin isn't the same kind of skin.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm watching Taxi Cab Confessions and the smoking hot transwoman on the show is saying that she doesn't think of herself as a female since she can't give birth.  That makes me wonder what she thinks of bio-women who can't have kids for this or that reason.  Are they not real women?  She's probably say that they were real women because they, at one point, had the ability to have children.  Then I'd say that one could argue that she was theoretically able to have children since she was a woman in a man's body and that ability to have babies was robbed from her like a woman who got HPV and had a hysterectomy due to cervical cancer while she was young.  Then she would agree...or tell me I was crazy and insensitive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...I love how I can have this whole conversation on my own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WOAH!  I know this girl who just got on Taxi Cab Confessions.  She is SO a Burning Angel.  I would recognize those shitty bangs and that Ashlee Simpson nose.  I would say that I can't believe she hooked up with a grease ball like the guy she's in the cab with....but I totally can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DUDE! And where are her PANTS?!  She totally got into this cab without pants.  They were in midtown and she was walking about in underwear!  In MIDTOWN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MIDTOWN!  PANTSLESS!</content>

    <content type="html">Randy has only ever seen one porno, which a very cute female friend of his brought over while I was away.  It was early on in our relationship so I was very suspicious of his friend at the time.  Then Randy reminded me that me being away is sort of the default state so people can't be blamed for doing things while I'm away.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's sort of funny being someone who makes her living in porn having a partner who can't really be bothered.  I guess that's sort of the best way to be for our partnership.  Obviously it's right out for me to date someone who hates porn (unless the person is taking a proactive stance on it and wants us to revolutionize the industry and make porn we'd like to see).  If I'm dating a porno hound he might try to get me into it more or might try to make me be his own personal porno goddess when I get home.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm kind of boring at home, roommates will attest.  People are always asking me about the "Boston Scene".  I'm sure there is one but I don't even know where it meets or what it's acronym is.  Seriously, I get home and I can't be assed.  I let ppl watch me in sexual situations for work, yes, let's go home and go right out and do it again!  One day someone is going to press this point too much and I'm going to say, "Do you go home and pick up garbage?"  and it will be awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garbage collecting is one of the best worst job insults.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I get the Adult Video News trade magazine which, despite its wall to wall porno ads, is possibly one of the most boring magazines ever.  It's nothing but legal issues pertaining to adult business, advice on how to handle your adult business, news on production companies and actors and so on.  You open the magazine and see nothing but porno box covers (as opposed to ads for makeup or cars) but the magazine itself is deadly dull.  I have copies of AVN and Skin Two and Marquis lying all over the place in our room.  Randy usually just kicks them aside but this morning while I was dressing he decided to pick one up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Homegrown in Florida"  he read from the title of an AVN from three months ago, "tch, like your boobs?"  he asked the covermodel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He made a snide comment about the boobs and the oranges the model is holding but I wasn't paying attention.  He then starts reading porno titles from the glossy ads.  Porno titles are no fun to read in an normal voice, this must be why everyone who reads them out loud starts reading them in monster truck rally voice. So, imagine Randy reclining on the bed in a shirt and shorts reading these like he's getting ready to say, "Sunday Sunday Sunday!".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Junk in the Trunk Seven!" He laughed and paused, "ooooh, 'Seemore Butts presents BackYard Amateurs Six'  Six honey!  'Riding Filthy'  'There's a thin line between love and murder'" He paused to think about this, "No, I don't think there is.  That's from 'Lela Undone' by the way."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He continued to read titles out loud, pausing over his favorites, "'I Squirt on Old Guys!'"  he howled, showing me the ad whose tagline -which he also read- is, "That's not pee!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Randy dropped the magazine briefly, "Third World Entertainment presents, 'Chopstick Chowdown'"  He rolled his eyes.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rest of TWE's movies "Banging Black Boxes", "Mamasans", "Bonsai Bush" and "Black Tits, Pink Slits" provoked a brief discussion of racism and xenophobia in porn titles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Titles poured out of his mouth with barely contained glee.  Sometimes I commented on his selections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Internal Affairs."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well that's an apt title, you know all what that's about just in the title."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yep.  '100% internal popshots'" he read from the tagline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Evil Angel presents..." He paused and turned a page sideways to stare, "oooh, that yeah....that's not right" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yeah, that's Belladonna's company." I responded, Belladonna is known for doing things that are just not right.  She's well known for being in Fashionistas and for a famous scene where she anally gapes three girls at once with a baseball bat...the big end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ooooh, Buttwoman.  And she's got a rose sticking out of her ass."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was only one title that got a moment of silence out of him, "Jailbait Teens 6....Honey, come look at this."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started to turn my head but caught myself, "No way.  Why?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The font!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked, font can't be THAT bad, it's typeface!  I was wrong.  I shrieked, Randy cracked up.  "Jailbait teens 6 was written in a font that was supposed to look like a young child had scrawled it in multicolored crayon.  I turned away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No wait honey, come back!"  he laughed, "Look! look at the a!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reluctantly, I looked.  In the A was a similarly childish drawing of a teddybear in an orange jumpsuit behind bars.  I shook my head, he kept reading titles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"'Broken'.  Yes, like their childhoods."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's decided to make a list of his 15 favorite titles in this issue of AVN so you can look forward to it.  I'm giving spoilers here though, his favorite one is, "It Takes Two to Bang Mom"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After, "Animal Trainer 2" He started making up his own porno titles, "Awkward moments with pets!  Tyrone loves peanut butter 22! Our golden anniversary, 'next month we'll be releasing Our Diamond Anniversary direct to DVD'!"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mood, properly scandalized.</content>

    <content type="html">I haven't ever had an LJ account before.  The last time I had a public journal account was during a particularly difficult relationship and I used the journal primarily to complain about the guy I was dating to anonymous strangers.  If I'd channeled that energy into getting the strength to leave the asshole instead of complain I might have made those three and a half years in hell a lot shorter.  It was very emo but it wasn't as emo as the time before that when I'd had a public journal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That time was in junior college.  Yes, that explains it all.  I went to JC in a sort of backwoods little town and me and the rest of the gaming club and the drama club (which I started, btw. We did Rocky Horror.  We thought we were so cool.  This explains my aversion to anything RHPS) had all these little journals that we updated at school and told each other about.  We'd post photos and song lyrics and poems and webcomics then sometimes we'd post comments about each other or stories about how so and so pissed us off and then we'd snark at each other in public and one time Sam wrote something about Chaz and she was so mad that she ran across the student union and slid to her knees in front of him crying and screaming and the rest of us were all like "Oh em gee!" ....and the whole situation was very "Wondertwin powers activate!  Form of, emo drama whore!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all generally enjoyed ourselves even though we pretended like we didn't until one of us took it too far (there's always one) and created another account to post threatening comments and e-stalk us all.  The guy I'd been dating (sorta?) broke up with me, threatening letters were found on campus and generally things got oogy.  People were freaked out and one thing led to another where it eventually ended up in the wrong person being blamed and socially ostracized which led to a car accident and another person dropping out of school and the partial dissolve of the whole little incestuous group.  We did find out who it was, but it was too late and people had gotten really broken up.  So of course, I swore off the whole public journal thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now I'm back.  My him seems to have a lot of fun on LJ and he assures me that it's harmless and not too addictive if you can steer clear of the drama and act like an adult.  So to make this fun for me I just have to make sure to stay drama free....HAH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'll be on here like, once a week to post about all the joyous modely things I've been doing and to stalk my friends.  It'll be fun...and stuff....says the girl coming from a very negative place about online journals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ooooh, I forgot about the time that I was friends with someone who was involved in a media scandal and he used his livejournal to bait the paparazzi.  That was "fun" too.  Wow, I'm 0 for 3 on public journals.</content>
