Stiletto Diaries

While we were browsing at the Toronto Erotic Arts Festivallast spring, Nia picked out this pin for me, which of course I loved!  I think it adds a certain touch of class to my purses.

Since my birthday is only a week away, I decided to finally update my wish list and post it here.  Thanks to a particularly awesome friend of mine at Extreme Restraints, this wish list is set up so that anyone who wants to purchase something for me can do so, and Extreme Restraints will ship it directly to me.  This way you can remain anonymous if you wish (no return address required) and so can I!  Supposing anyone were to send me something of course I would feel indebted to provide you with plenty of photographic evidence of said gift in use, so I’d hope you’d at least pass on your e-mail address for those purposes.

Shasta’s Wish List

I’d been carrying the same plain black, yet functional wallet for years.  In fact, I can’t even tell you with any certainty when I bought it because I’ve had it so long.  I fell totally in love with this pocketbook style wallet by ESPE when I came across it at Krickets, in Calgary.  ESPE is a Canadian cruelty-free accessories company, and this bright and cheerful wallet makes me feel less emo goth kid, and more ‘pocket full of sunshine’.

I collect icons/user pics, which are basically those little 100×100 pixel graphics that people use over at LiveJournal, or on MSN, or forums, etc.  I have over 1,000 of them saved on my computer, because I just find so damn many of them which are cute, hilarious, or sexy.  I’ve used them on this blog as well, and then one day I discovered I could go over to CafePress, and PUT THEM ON BUTTONS!  Buttons are another collection/addiction of mine.  This particular button was designed from an icon I had, which I like very much.  It now resides on one of my many purses, which…I also, um, collect.  I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM!

I got this sweet little ceramic teapot as part of a set at a Dollar Store.  It came with four small Japanese tea cups, all in the pretty mossy green color with brown trim.  The teapot itself is not at all well designed for tea, due to the angle of the spout.  The tea pours out of the lid opening before it even gets out the spout, and thus this beautiful pot is part of a display on my bookcases, which is much more practical.

As requested, here is an image of the cards I had made for my blog.  Why make cards?  Well I needed them for that Sex Party, and also because often when I am out and about I end up talking about my website and then I have to write down the address for people and this just seemed so much simpler.  Sadly I hadn’t anticipated moving the site, so the old address is on all of them, but no matter.  I had these made over at VistaPrint.  500 cards, full color, glossy finish, for around $34.00 after taxes and shipping.  I highly recommend them

A couple of months ago I had some business cards printed with VistaPrint (great service, awesome price, I highly recommend) and since then I’ve been looking for something to carry them in, so they don’t get all bent out of shape in my purse. I stumbled across this cute and stylish Glam card holder in Krickets, during my recent trip to Calgary, and it’s just right!

While I was in Calgary over the weekend we did a little shopping. Krickets down on 4th St in Mission is filled with funky and stylish accessories and gifts. Be warned, there are so many fabulous things in that store your head may explode. Knowing how I love quirky pins, V gifted me with this totally suitable little gem. I think it pretty much says it all.
