Oh no you didn’t! #IamnotaB @GBC @Apt23

It seems to me there is something wrong in this world when a network not once, but twice, finds it acceptable to use the BITCH word in program titles in reference to women. To me, the B word is as much a pejorative as slut.

In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s ABC’s recent and upcoming premieres of GBC (aka GOOD CHRISTIAN BITCHES) and DON’T TRUST THE B—- IN APARTMENT 23 (their strikeout, not mine).

So I guess I’m wondering, why isn’t there more of a hue and cry over this derogatory term being applied to women? In fact, why do some women call themselves BITCHES as a way to bond? A search of the Internet revealed quite a few sites aimed at women using the B word.

How do you feel about the use of the B word to describe women? Offensive? If you do find it offensive, maybe take a moment to tweet #IamnotaB @GBC @Apt23 to let ABC know or click here to visit ABC.COM and send them a message.

I’m looking forward to hearing your comments on this!

#Man Candy Monday David Gandy

There’s a new face I’ve been seeing around lately – model David Gandy! I could so picture David as Christopher Sombrosa from THE CLAIMED.

It’s a shame it’s in black and white and you can’t see his amazing blue eyes. I just love dark-haired men with light eyes. Sigh.

Thanks to Technical Director Regan Hall for sharing this with us on Youtube.

Thursday 13 Paragraphs

Don’t forget the Birthday Bash Pre-Release Party for THE VAMPIRE’S CONSORT!

This Thursday 13 I’m sharing with you 13 paragraphs from THE VAMPIRE’S CONSORT erotic paranormal novella which will be released on April 1.

WARNING: This is for mature audiences only. If you’re not at least 17, please read no further

The first time Eliza had realized the moan was one of pleasure and not pain, she should have walked away from the peephole.

But she hadn’t.

The peephole had been placed in the wall after a so-called Slayer had tried to stake her master. Adrian had subdued the overly eager and decidedly naïve young woman. In time, the Slayer had come to realize that Adrian was not only one of the white hats, but an excellent lay.

Despite the truce struck with the Slayer, Adrian had decided that the peephole was necessary for safety’s sake along with the loaded tranquilizer gun in Eliza’s nightstand.

Luckily she’d not had a reason to use the gun, but the peephole had been another thing. Peering in it had almost become an obsession.

She used it way too often, drawn by the sight of Adrian and his lovers. Unable to yank herself away from her gorgeous master as he pleasured yet another willing woman before taking his sip of their blood as compensation for the wicked satisfaction they found in his arms.

Eliza imagined herself in those arms more than she should.

It was wrong, she knew. She was here to serve Adrian and keep his home, not to love him. But after nearly two hundred years of being his consort, it was hard to deny that was exactly what had happened.

Eliza had fallen in love with Adrian.

She loved him and lusted for him, she thought as she peered through the peephole once again and watched him move over the body of his latest companion.

The young woman was a lithe strawberry blonde with surgically amplified breasts that barely moved as she lay on the bed with Adrian’s big body snuggled between her long thin legs. Tanned skin which would one day be leathery contrasted sharply with Adrian’s pale alabaster perfection.

As Adrian lowered his head to suckle her breasts, Eliza’s nipples tightened in response and her sex grew heavy and damp with need.

Bracing one hand on the wall, she tugged at the belt for her robe. The silk fabric fell open and even that subtle movement of smoothness against her body dragged a breathy sigh from her as she imagined it was Adrian’s skin along hers.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words…

That’s very true for me since I’m very visually oriented. So much so, that I even write with the television on during the colder months. When it warms up, I’m out on my little balcony, enjoying the quiet of early morning and the sights. Birds and squirrels running around. Surfer dudes on their bikes, coming back from the beach. Bright blue skies and the pinks and blues of the flowers in the pots at my feet.

So visual things inspire me and when I heard about Pinterest, I just had to take a look. Oh man, am I hooked. A nice, clean and easy-to-access place for all those things that I can use for all kinds of ideas!

If you want to take a look at some of my “boards”, you can visit me at pinterest.com/caridadpineiro/.
Hope you are all having an awesome Thursday! By the way, the Nocturnal Whispers Release Party ended yesterday and I’ll be picking a winner in the next few days and announcing it on the blog. Thanks so much to everyone who participated.
