Toronto! 6
I’m in Toronto taking photos of people at a Canadian tourism summit in Toronto. The photobooth is promoting Toronto’s connection to the Scott Pilgrim movie; this is one of several such events we’ve done since Comic Con.
Canadian people are ridiculously friendly but unfortunate in their style choices. It’s kind of like Australia in that way. There are lots of girls who would be really attractive if they weren’t wearing flip flops, baggy shorts, and boring tees and sweatshirts. The only girls I’ve seen who aren’t bland and frumpy are tourists.
Maybe it’s just the area we’ve explored downtown or maybe I’m spoiled from living in LA where style ranks high above personal comfort. Several people have stopped and asked me and husbandface where we buy our clothes. When we reply that we’re from LA their responses have been nothing short of reverent.
I have lovely photos to upload but no device with which to do so. I promise to upload some saucy sneaky photos taken in public bathrooms or wherever else I can sneak off to as soon as I get the chance.
Also coming soon to the site: videos! And a store to easily buy stockings, panties, and socks.
One darling reader suggested I post a pay pal donate button on my site. It’s something I’m generally hesitant to do because it seems to communicate a sense of expectation and entitlement. I’m interested to hear your thoughts on the matter!
I’m going to NYC in September to book as much work in a week as I possibly can.if anyone knows of any porny people in need of models out there let me know!

I don’t see why anybody would mind a PayPal button. It doesn’t seem much different in spirit than an affiliate link or an item for sale.
You could have a general “Support Me” section/page with all the ways to buy your stuff/pictures and put the PayPal button on it. Horny guys like sending money and gifts to porn stars, don’t make it difficult.
I would donate myself, if it wasn’t for the fact that the clowntards at PayPal shut down my account. Because their sophisticated algorithms determined that “111-11-1111″ wasn’t a valid SSN. Never mind all the business I had done (buying and selling) since the day they went live in 1999. So I don’t use them any more.
Oh, and I’m pretty sure they don’t allow payment for “adult services”… not sure if this would count.

I’ve been researching Paypal for about a month now and they confuse the hell outta me. Some say they are lenient on adult merch depending on what you’re selling and others say they crack down hard. I think if we name our stuff cleverly and carefully, no red flags should come up. I know there’s always CCBilling but for right now it’s too pricey
We’ve been doing some tests with paypal and so far they’ve been successful
Stay Tuned!

Not so much red flags .. more like asshole buyers who file claims with PayPal and make your life difficult.
For the record…. straight from the horse’s ass: “PayPal allows U.S. only transactions for certain sexually oriented physical goods, such as videos, DVDs, magazines, or other products physically delivered to the customer.”

In any case, I took it out of my pants and I’m gonna give it to Ela however and wherever she likes it (my credit card that is).

thanx for the info!
I’ve been trying to look for a clear answer for a while. seems like we’ll have to find some other way for the “Digital Delectables” . I also want to give her free reign on what she wants to sell and not have to be cautious all the time. hmm…….

Blakrabbit is the shit and totally makes my digital life easy and awesome. <3!!!
Fappy, that’s good info to have. I think if the donation is officially just for people to express kindness and appreciation and not for the sake of exchanging goods, it’s ok. And if I express my own appreciation for people who donate certain amounts… then…. something something. I dunno. I’ll try it out and see how it goes. Officially, the donate button is for the people who have asked for one just so they can give back.
If I recommend that someone make a donation through the site if there’s a certain item or something that they really want, then they can choose to do so. Right?
