The Non Kinky Mid-West!

Omigod...you're not going to believe what has happened with my book "Bondage for Sex"...it's been at print for about a week now. The printer is in Minnesota and has a 4 week turnaround so the copies would be all done about 2 weeks prior to the release date (perfect timing as this is when Amazon, etc need them by) of June 5th. Anyway, they're already printing and someone in the printing company flips out over the book...literally...and makes a big deal over it's explicit nature, etc and that's it's offensive and they shouldn't have to look at it in the workplace...um, there's no genitalia shown in it and it meets all of the "rules" for Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc...it isn't porn, etc so anyway they've dropped it...yep, they are refusing to print the book...AGH! Probably due to fear of being sued by this employee (s?) I can't believe it...so much for freedom of speech. So, now it's back to the printer in Canada that was originally going to do it (and is more open minded) but who has a slower turnaround. They've been told it's a rush job so I'm still hoping to make the release date but damn this is stressful...really looking forward to Mexico tomorrow!

Site is Visa Approved!

Finally, after almost 3 weeks of waiting
  • Chanta's Bitches
  • is finally able to accept memberships paid for wih a Visa card...to me, this is the official launch of the site. My web partner, Chance and I haven't really done any marketing or promotion or even bothered with setting up the affiliate program because we knew there was no point...we would be getting traffic without being to fully accept memberships...now we'll be hitting Fleshbot, the Hun, etc as much as possible to make this site a success.

    So...what are you waiting for...go JOIN!

    Licensed to...drive!


    Well...I believe I am already licensed to fuck hot tied up girls so today I went and did my behind the wheel driving test! I've been driving for over a decade now but I was still really nervous...especially in case they asked me to paralell park! Now, as a rule, I'm very good at this...but NOT when under pressure! Thankfully it wasn't required so all was cool and I passed and will will have my CA D/L arrive in the mail in the next 3-4 weeks...woohoo!

    The book is now officially out of my hands...it's being printed as I type this. I've been sending some digital copies out to varipus people to do reviews, etc and everyone seems to like it so that's good. The distributor has also started to recieve pre-orders so it's nice to know a few hundred books are already going to be on shelves in various places!

    Had an AMAZING day yesterday! I am in love with a new bitch; the absolutely stunning Christina Carter...trust me, I know she looks hot in pictures but in the flesh she is one of the most stunningly beautiful women I have ever seen...I'm smitten! I was very nice to her seeing as it was her first shoot with me...we did some kick ass bondage and she come probably a dozen times...it was a forced-orgasm-a-thon!

    Later that afternoon another favorite bitch came to play, the fucking stunnung Satine Phoenix whom I have already had the pleasure of breaking into this kinky stuff! Did some hot, hot, hot bondage with her too...guess I was a in a very bondage mood. She's really starting to push herself as she explores bondage, s&m, electricity, etc and I feel she will become one of the best, most sought after bondage models before long...she's meets my requirements anyway; tough and sexy with a hunger for BDSM.

    Had dinner with Marty, DragonLily and Christina at Tsunami...if you live in San Francisco and like sushi you must go here, it rocks. Also met up with DragonLily for breaskfast this morning...I miss her when she's not here so when she is, she's stuck with me as much as possible!

    Okay, enough for now!

    LA Trip Cancelled....Vacation Planned!

    It's a shame about LA but also a blessing in disguise. I phoned "the cafe" to confirm my shoot for Monday and poor Jimmy is all sick with the flu. I said, so are we shooting? And Jewel said that we were going to play it by ear...well, I don;t need to drive 6 hours there to not shoot, not get paid and then ahve to drive back. They were under the impression I had a lot of other work and it would be no big deal but my trip was basically drive down Sunday, teach a class, shoot Monday, drive back. In short, it was the fee I would earn from the shoot that would make the trip worthwhile...so I phoned the PC to see how many sign ups the class had (usually they get all of them on the day of the class) and sure enough, it was only a couple of people so I explained the situation and cancelled the class. The class had accidently been advertised with the wrong date so I feel that there wouldn't have had very good attendance because of that anyhow...but I did want to make sure I wasn't jeopardising my relationship with the PC in any way, I really love working there.

    So, rescheduling with Jimmy for June...am looking forward to it! Now I have some time to get more editing and updates done...and continue to nag Visa on a daily basis. Why did they say it would be 2 business days when I have since found out is is 7-21 business days? Very annoying!

    The vacation!!! I am so excited about this! Marty and I haven't been on a vacation since October 2003..yes 2 and a half years. Sure...we've had time off for my surgeries and radiation...even for having my wisdom teeth pulled but no actual fun trip away, this is long overdue. We're heading down to South East Mexico to relax, kayak, explore, shop and of course, see some Mayan Ruins! I have seen most of them but not Tulum which is what I am most excited about. Ruins are my absolute favorite thing in the whole world...bear in mind my favorite country is Peru where the Inca's have their fabulous, breathtaking ruins. I've been to 54 countris and pretty much seen it all...when I am about to go somewhere I haven't been before that is exciting in itself!

    Of course, will all of my money poured into the business I can't afford the trip so hubby is being extra generous and paying for me. It's nice he's doing this. We've always been financially very seperate...mainly because I paid for everything for my ex-husband for 4 years but he sees I am trying and working really hard and that I deserve a trip away.

    Happy, happy, happy...now I just need visa to approve http://www.chantasbitches.coma nd have lots of people join and I'll be even more happy!

    Please be worth it...

    This is how I feel right now. I've worked hard for months and months and very soon I will know if it was all worth the effort...or if I should have just gotten a regular job/gone to law school.

    The book (http://www.bondageforsexguide.com) has officially gone to print. It's too late to change any mistakes that may have been made now and I absolutely hope there is none. The book is being printed on lovely 100lb paper and will really be a quality product that I hope people will keep for many years. What do I mean by "please be worth it"...well, I hope people like it...and buy it...and that it helps in making me be taken seriously as an educator (some places won't even talk to me because of the porn background)...I hope I don't get embarrassed or humiliated if people don't like it.

    Next, the site. Yep, still waiting on visa. I have no idea why they said it would be 48 hours when I have since found out it's 7-21 business days...but that's not my point. My anxiety is similar to that of with the book. I hope people like it, and join it because I am producing a high quality product in an industry that's full of crap. My days are less fun and creative right now because of the "grunt" work that needs doing...basically finding ways to push as much traffic as I can to this site. It could be the best site in the world but if no one knows about then it's pointless.

    Okay, on to less stressful things...like what I've been doing! Tuesday, I taught 2 private classes which was great. I get booked a lot for private classes in LA but not so much in SF so to get 2 in one day was just fabulous. On Wednesday I had a "hair" shoot, this is a shoot where they are only interested literally in my hair...I got to keep my clothes on and everything...I always find shoots where I'm not naked kind of weird!!!

    Take care,
    Chanta

    JOIN, JOIN, JOIN!!!

    I got tired of waiting for Visa to approve the site so if you want to join and have a mastercard (or other card), you now can...if you're on visa then you must continue to wait until they pull the pole out of their asses!

    http://www.chantasbitches.com/join.html

    Patience is a Virtue...

    That's what *they* say isn't it? It isn't one of my strong points in life...I like things fast, I like things now...basically I like them at the speed that i do them....for example, it took me 2 weeks to write a book, so why do I have to wait months and months and months to get the thing laid out and printed? But the book is not my complaint today...it's Visa. Seriously...can I please, please, please start accepting members to my site? It's been sitting there ready for 2 weeks now with no sign ups because I can't accept them. It's just so frustrating. I shoot tonnes of great content, edit it, encode it, upload it, etc and am finally ready to launch and BAM...I'm waiting on Visa. It is *supposed* to go through today...I'll beleive it when I see it but I do have my fingers crossed.

    Edited the Lorelei Lee pics yesterday...some great shots of my toe in her ass if I do say so myself! Unfortunately the pics of her ID are NOT up to scratcyh so I can't put the shoot on site until I get better pics/copies of them. That is a valuable lesson to learn. At CNE I would always make sure I copied/tok photos of the ID's for my shoots because if you fuck that up, you may have well not done the shoot. Luckily she's a good friend of mine so it shouldn;t be a problem to get new copies.

    Today I am teaching 2 bondage lessons and tomorrow I am modeling my hair (yes hair only) for a shoot. I am hoping to edit the Lorelei video in between all of this also.

    Take care,

    Toe in the ASS....

    I think this is my new fetish...I mean is there any visual better than that of a hot suspended hottie (aka Lorelei Lee). I'm laying on the ground with my legs up and and she is worshipping my feet. She begins to turn in the suspension and I am faced with her luscious ass that I had just had the pleasure of fucking...so I start spanking her ass with my feet and next thing I know I slip my big toe into her ass!!! So fucking hot! Then, with my other foot I slide a few toes into her pussy and just start fucking her suspended sex organs with my feet. To top it off, I decide this is so sexy that I''m going to have an orgasm so I order her to talk dirty to me!!! Omigod, I'm still wet from this...oh, and yes, it was for http://www.chantasbitches.com (which seems to be down right now, odd, dreamhost have 99.9% uptime).

    I think I'm in love! I'll have to share Lorelei though as it seems everyone that ties her up falls in love with her!

    I need my pussy flogged.


    Firstly, thank you to everyone for their words of support yesterday. It really was a hard day...every day has been hard for the last 12 months but I guess I'll just keep on trucking!

    I'm sure many of you are wondering about billing for http://www.chantasbitches.com well what can I say...it's coming as soon as the site is deemed compliant (by Visa)...which it isn't yet. Had to take off all the pics of bondage with penetration from the free section (even stuff that wasn't but looked like it might be) as well as a few links I had. The funny thing was, they told me I couldn't link to Waterbondage (they assumed it was mine). I explained the situation that yes, I created the site but no, it wasn't mine and due to my history with the company I had no plans on linking to it. The thing that was weird about this though was that this company does some of the billing for WB!!! Made no sense at all. So for the mean time, you'll just have to look at Samantha's red ass! I really, really do have ym fingers crossed for it to be approved by tomorrow.

    Take care,
    Chanta

    It's been one year....

    since I died inside. 1 year since the love of my life disposed of me like I was the shit on the bottom of it's shoe.

    Last night I was busy and it hadn't actually crossed my mind and then someone sent me a link to a news article about CNE...and there was a photo of Peter and this story all about the rapid growth of CNE, etc and I just broke down. I can't even see a photo of anyone from there, it's too painful...and then to read about the successes and not be a part of it any longer (the sites I created are but I'm not) is just unbearable. It's like watching someone else raise my children (WB and MIP). I just cried and cried and cried. I wonder if "the woman" is celebrating today...probably. I hve never known such grief...I mean, this affects me so much that I avoid events where CNE people will be...even CNE people that I don't know but that I know of...like the regular director for MIP. What am I supposed to say "Hi, nice to meet you, I'm glad my years of hard work and launching sites are paying your rent". I ned to get over this before FetishCon because everyone will be there.

    One year...and I have nothing to show for it. Look, I know I had cancer for the first 4 months of it...I know I couldn't model because of not having US ID and I also know I was illegal for 11 months...and all of these things really, really do make it very difficult to be productive but fuck...if I was still at CNE, in this last 12 months I would have trained a new Webmaster for WB and probably launched 2 new sites that would kick ass. I would feel whole.

    Then I just start thinking; why am I launching a site? Why did I write a book? Why am I teaching? Why didn't I just get preganant and be a Mom...or accept the offer to law school I had...or even do what hubby suggested....which was to become a realtor? Right now, I don't know the answer.

    I love Virgins!


    yes, I do....if you all remember one of Kym Wilde's line of videos was called "Virgin Kink" where she would get girls that had never been dominated before and break them down...now of course, I have my own style different from Kym's but it's the the whole "first time" thing that gets me wet! Whya am I writing this? Because I just finished editing my video with Taylor Jolie...not only her first dominated by a woman but also her first EVER porn! Basically what you get is a lot of genuine reactions; embarrassment, nervousness, laughter, etc...it's really nice and refreshing.

    Aside from that I have been really busy with boring things like filing extension on taxes for the LLC (ugh), arranging UK/Eurpoean distribution for "Bondage for Sex" and nagging Paycom about billing for ChantasBitches.com LOL! Also cleaned the house yesterday (does that sound exciting?) as it was getting a little out of control.

    One thing I really do have to look forward to though is the possibility of 10 days in Italy! Hubby has never left the US and I just can't handle it anymore...he simply must experience the rest of the world...maybe not 54 countries like me (cos some of them really sucked LOL) but just a select few starting with his own heritage: Italy! He's applied for the expedited passport and if it gets here in the next few days we'll be booking for the end of April...we have not had a vacation since October 2003 so a trip is well overdue (to explain, we have had time off for my surgeries and radiation but that hardly counts as fun).

    Oh, and there are now some endorsements on http://www.bondageforsexguide.com

    Take care,
    Chanta

    Billing is coming soon!

    AGH! How annoying, to have the site up the first weekend without billing. I could have put up the secondary processor but I really am waiting on Paycom, they are simply the best because of all of the precautions, etc they take...and unfortunately that means the site has to wait a little longer until "compliance" approves it (hopefully Monday). Then people will be able to sign up!

    Amazon baby!


    Check it out, the book is listed:

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0977723801/sr=8-1/qid=1144440279/ref=sr_1_1/104-8575245-8325552?%5Fencoding=UTF8

    Of course, it isn't available yet...that is still a good 6-7 weeks away but it's kind of cool to see me on Amazon as an author LOL!

    Awww.

    Someone just wrote me the most flattering message on MySpace, I'm smiling ear to ear:

    In any given field, there is a quintessential:
    to Basketball, Michael Jordan
    to Baseball, Babe Ruth
    to Bondage, Chanta Rose

    Wednesday, April 05, 2006

    Check it Out!

    The billing isn't up yet but you can see what I've done with the site and the kind of content that will be offered: http://www.chantasbitches.com

    Saturday, April 01, 2006

    Almost there!

    The site is "almost" ready to go live! Yep, http://www.chantasbitches.com is coming! By Monday the entire free section of the site (home page, preview and updates page) should be viewable to the public...then as soon as the billing is completed (Paycom are at a conference this weekend and can't finalise my account until Tuesday) it will be available for people to JOIN!!!!

    It's funny how this site came about starting. Yes, I missed rigging, web work, editing, etc but really, after 9 months of not, I just couldn't handle that I wasn't tying girls up, slapping them and fucking them...and of course giving them (and taking from them) lots of forced orgasms while in tight rope! How could I not fuck girls? Well, when it came doewn to it, I guess I couldn;t give them up yet after all. Hubby and I were considering bringing hookers home but this seemed like a better alternative. We can get the hookers when I'm too old to be in the videos anymore LOL!

    Take care,
    Chanta
