It's Violet Blue's birthday today. I hope she has a great one. I've admired Violet for a long time for many reasons: she's smart, funny, prolific, sassy, sex positive and so cute! She writes terrific, insightful sex ed books including one on the G-spot that is my hands down favorite. She's also penned the Adventurous Couple's Guide to Strap-On Sex, the Adventurous Couple's Guide to Sex Toys and the Smart Girl's Guide to Porn as well as editing some anthologies of erotica.� They are all books I would recommend in a heartbeat. She also has e-books on her website for free including a cute guide on How to Kiss and one on Erotic Role Play. Free, quality sex info is so important.If that wasn't enough, you can also read Violet's weekly column at the San Francisco Chronicle where she writes about all things sex related. You can get her Twitter updates, check out her pod and video casting and you can check out her blog, Tiny Nibbles, which always has interesting information and links as well as delicious photos. Seriously, I don't know how she has time to eat or sleep - she is a sex education machine. Oh also, she's a robot artist. I'm not kidding. It's basically the most bad-ass thing I've ever heard of a sex educator doing.In celebration of her birthday, Babeland sent Violet a big box of toys (including a SaSi!)and she's been holding contests and giving them away to her blog readers. Free sex toys! It doesn't get any better than that. The first contest was an lolcaption involving a cat and a sex toy. The second asked readers to find the scariest sex toy on the internet. I won't post the winner here because it's just too terrifying to look at! This week's contest is to find your favorite sex-related ad campaign. I'm excited to see what gets sent in - I'll be sure to post the winner here.Basically, I love Violet Blue and I'm so glad that she loves Babeland! She has tons of great information to share so please, please check out her website if you've never been before. Happy Birthday Violet!glad that she loves Babeland!
