Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

Did anyone notice that I changed the name of my blog again?

It's long overdue that I make this announcement:

After spending most of my life, including my entire adult life thus far, in Ottawa, I have decided that it's time I try on a new city. On November 6th, 2009, I will be packing up and moving to Montreal.

I can't really blog about smut in the Capital city when I'm not there, can I?

To those of you who call yourselves my fans, thanks for your readership and loyalty! I'm not abandoning you entirely; Veronica's Closet, my column in Upfront Magazine, will continue to run as a Q+A column. Unfortunately, I will no longer be a voice for the Ottawa scene - but I'll still be helpful and witty... as much as I ever was, anyway.

This blog will also live on, with a bit of a new style. The posts will be more universal and I hope to write more personally.

I have big plans for Montreal and you can expect at least one or two posts on my grand adventures in what once was Canada's largest city and is now a mecca of kink, fetish, art and hedonism. (I think I'll fit right in!)

Oh, and just so you all know. I'll be back in Ottawa before you know it! The plan is to spend a year in la belle Province.

Those of you Ottawans who know or recognize me can see me in my usual hangouts for the next 2 months before I go. Come say hi! I don't bite... and for those of you who are Rockalily fans - just wait 'till you see what I've been working on for October 30th. Save the date! My last confirmed show with the burlesque ladies is going to be epic!

Sex Toys are so Metal

Sorry for the lack of posts this past year or so, I've been extremely busy between Rockalily, Upfront, YWTF and all the other little projects. The 2nd annual No Pants Dance Party was a success! Thanks to Hush Money and The New Impressions of 2 FANS for warming up the crowd. We raised almost $100 for each the AIDS Committee of Ottawa and the Ottawa Humane Society! Thanks for all your support, Ottawa! And a super-big thanks to everyone who comes in from out of town to see our shows. Rockalily loves you all!

Today I thought of a tidbit about metal toys that I thought I should pass on.

Although they are a little pricey, steel, aluminum and titanium sex toys make a great addition to your naughty drawer. Like glass toys they are non-porous, easy to clean and can easily be heated or cooled to your liking. Unlike glass, they are unbreakable!

Titanium is going to be the most expensive, but is the lightest of the three metals.

Aluminum is your middle ground. A good metal, not too heavy but enough weight that you feel it.

Steel is very heavy - of the three metals most commonly used in sex toys this is the one that is most likely to cause damage. Extra care should be taken when using steel toys, especially butt plugs, as the weight is being held by your sphincter - something you do NOT want to damage.

Just something to keep in mind when shopping for metal toys!

This Saturday at Babylon: ONE NIGHT STAND

March 7th, 2009: One Night Stand, Rockalily Burlesque's second headlining show will be rocking Babylon Nightclub like only Rockalily can.

This time we've got special musical guests, Ninety Pounds of Ugly and DJ Eric Roberts.
over a dozen local artists and artisans will be exhibiting and selling their works while artists from Pirate City show off their skills with a tattoo machine on some human canvas. To top it all off we've got door prizes from our sponsors and a raffle to benefit the Ottawa SPCA featuring several luxurious prizes!

Don't miss out! Advance Tickets are $12 at both Compact Music locations, all 3 Classixxx locations, End Hits and Pirate City. Cover is $15 at the door.

See you there!

As if this needs my help...

Sexapalooza is this weekend at Lansdowne Park.

Despite what some people are saying, it's more than just a giant temporary mall of sexy retailers. There will be periodic stage shows throughout the weekend (Rockalily is part of this year's entertainment), a dungeon for you to learn all about BDSM the fun way, workshops and info sessions, a bar and some sexy greeters. Um.. did I mention the bar?

I'll be there the whole weekend, working in some capacity. Sometimes, for me, working includes gin and tonic; don't let a drink in my hand fool you, I am hard at work!

Anyway, this is a good chance to see a show, get spanked and take advantage of some trade show deals on toys and lingerie.

I'm not sure if you noticed; I'm famous!

It hasn't been posted online yet; The new issue of Algonquin College's GLUE Magazine came out yesterday. The feature article is on Rockalily! There's a full page photo of yours truly with 3 of the performers and an adjacent full page article.

GLUE is available on campus at Algonquin.

Burlesque update!

Rockalily, my burlesque troupe, recently got some great press in the Capital Xtra.

Check out the article ...here!

In other news we've been booked to perform at an upcoming fetish event. It's Oct 18th at The New Bayou. There are rumors abuzz about exactly who will be there and what will go down.

I am privy to some of the details, but I'll wait for the official press release before I get y'all too excited.


Stay sexy!!!
