Sexy Lingerie Web Store

Simpley Sexy Lingerie Opens Web Store

www.SimpleySexyLingerie.com has opened their new web store, offering tastefully tantalizing items in a variety of styles and sizes.

Woodland, NC  -  March 30, 2008 -- Store owner Pamela Collier has opened her new boutique at www.SimpleySexyLingerie.com, displaying a variety of lingerie items in attractive but tasteful styles. "Just the idea of being able to do something and kind of focus it on myself led me to opening the store," says Pamela, a longtime Internet shopper, mother of 2, and grandmother to a 2-year-old grandson.

"Being able to wear lingerie makes you feel good about yourself," says Pamela, who researched her products carefully before opening her store. As a devout Christian, it was important to her to strike a balance between alluring products and wholesome items. "I want women to realize that they can still be a mother or wife and feel sexy. It's very important to me that women feel beautiful, no matter what their size, if they're Christian, a mother or even a grandmother. Women deserve to be able to wear lingerie and feel sexy without being embarrassed. I want people to be able to shop in the convenience of their own homes and not have to go out and feel like people are staring and judging them."

In trying to maintain a clean and tasteful image, Pamela has selected her products personally, looking them over and making certain they meet her standards. "There are many items that I didn't put on my web site because I didn't feel that they were appropriate," she says, maintaining a clean but sexy image for her site.

Pamela has also begun a blog at www.SimpleySexyLingerie.net, allowing her to interact with her customers and assist them directly. "I'll be talking about my products, including different seasonal items and lines," says Pamela, who plans on providing additional information on her merchandise through that venue. She also intends to discuss future plans with her customers, getting their feedback and assistance in the growth of her business. "I've got high hopes," she explains. "I'd like to see the web site grow and eventually start a couple other sites."

Sexography Tale of Survival and Finding One's Self

Phoenix Books' Sexography: a Triumphant Tale of Survival and the Journey to Finding One's Self

A new memoirs detailing the triumphs and tragedies associated with learning about one's sexual self, Sexography by Carly Milne opens a new door of discussion about surviving sexual traumas with honesty, wit and hope.

Los Angeles, CA  -  October 29, 2007 -- Sex may sell, but getting women to talk about it from the heart without theatrics and jokes isn't always the easiest task...and it's not hard to understand why. Women are plagued with issues about sex from birth, sometimes causing them to act out, other times creating feelings of shame and guilt -- and that's not even counting those who have suffered from various forms of abuse. One unique book seeks to change all that by ushering in a new era of intimately honest communication designed to deconstruct female sexuality. That book is Sexography, written by Carly Milne.

By turns serious and playful, Sexography maps the coming of age, tragedy and rebirth of one woman's sexual self. From "making out" with imaginary Hollywood stars in her closet (and getting busted) to coming to terms with abuse, assault and rape; from embracing her curiosity enough to become a sex toy tester to accepting and dealing with her tumultuous past, Milne paints a brutally honest -- and, at times, amusing -- picture of what it's like to learn about and experience sex in every sense of the word.

"At times my path has been dark, but what helped me through it was dealing with it creatively," Milne says. "I've seen and done some off-the-wall stuff to help me heal, like openly blogging about intimate details of my sex life, publicly experimenting or working as a publicist in the porn industry. And I'm not saying everyone needs to do what I did, but maybe what I went through can help others find their own path."

Milne's story begins in her childhood homes of Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where she began her journey with the typical kind of curiosity that all children have, doing things like examining her Barbies for some hint of genitalia. But soon she found herself faced with sexual abuse at the hands of trusted adults, which is where her story takes readers on a wild, amazing and sometimes painful trip that spans both Canada and the U.S.

Milne vividly recounts first kisses and first loves amid brewing trauma, sharing the inner workings of her mind as she finds the strength to battle through events that threaten to tear her apart. After discovering her likes and dislikes, marrying and divorcing, and finding a caring support group, Milne finds the courage to heal herself once and for all.

In an effort to further open the channels of communication about these issues, Milne has partnered with RAINN -- the Rape and Incest National Network -- for various fundraising events surrounding the book's release. Says Milne, "Working with RAINN is an honor. Part of the reason why I wrote the book is because I wanted to help other women who have suffered through similar experiences, giving them the change to find a voice and regain their strength. Being able to do that is worth everything I went through."

Whether you've been through similar experiences or just know someone who has, Sexography will change your mind about why and how survivors survive.

About Carly Milne:
Carly Milne has written for Glamour, Variety, Maxim, Stuff, Bitch Magazine, Whole Life Times, AOL and more. She has also been interviewed by Marie Claire, Entertainment Weekly, Cosmopolitan, Sex TV and E!, among many others, and has been published in several books. This is her first full-length non-fiction work. Read more about her online at www.carlymilne.net.

Help A Reporter

I thought I would share with you today a great resource.  You'll want to tell the PR people, marketers, publicists, editors, bloggers, writers, and journalists you work with about it too, because it's all about them and their needs. 

If you're not already using www.helpareporter.com, check it out.  It's a service much like that other one that connects PR people and journalists looking for sources, but this one is free.  It used to be on Facebook, but grew too large for it.  Once you subscribe, you receive about three (sometimes two, no more than four, ever) emails a day with reporter, editor and freelance writer queries, written so you can quickly and easily scan the topics for relevance. 

If the topics do not apply to you or your clients, just hit delete.  If they do, you may contact the reporter or editor directly, as instructed.

Note that Peter Shankman, the list facilitator, is very strict about helping out these reporters.  Respond only if your information (or your client's info) is relevant and on target.  If not,  and you send non-relevant emails more than once, you'll get bumped off the list. Quickly. I've heard it can happen. He's a big believer in good Karma, and he also thinks he's quite funny, and tends to also include a link to a fun site, or a funny story about his day in the emails. It's a nice refreshing change from the boring, non-funny emails we usually deal with.

Reporters can post queries at www.helpareporter.com/press, and sources can sign up at www.helpareporter.com - As I said, it's free. Peter asks that if you find it useful, then you make a donation to any animal rescue charity or animal hospital.

You can forward the queries to others who are a fit, but do not post any queries (or the editor/reporter contact info) on any blogs or public websites. I received permission from Peter to send you this note, since this is a private group and I'm helping to spread the word to both subscribers and media to sign up.

The more people who use it, the better it becomes. By the way, Peter wrote almost everything you see before this line with a few edits by me. All the links that don't go to helpareporter.com were added by me.

Reno, Nevada  -  March 31, 2008 -- Kevin Petersen, President of the all-inclusive music portal www.noisyplanet.net and himself a working music artist, pulls no punches in his views on the track record of major music labels.

"We don't guarantee stardom, but we do guarantee that if you want to take a few steps forward, we can help you manage the business of your music and hopefully inspire you to create more art in the process."

To that end, Noisy Planet-the one-stop-shop for musicians and bands of all genres and professional levels-is proud to unveil Noisy Planet's Artist Control Room.

These affordable Noisy Planet services are offered in addition to its existing service of MP3 hosting with paid downloads, MP3 file conversion and quarterly artist royalties.
