So I've been trying to drive more traffic to Mall of Erotica as it is the area I am most lacking in. I was running an ad campaign on Naked Experiment when I was informed that one of the users couldn't get to my site. It turns out that some ludicrous new practices by ISPs in the UK have all ISP subscribers blocked from websites that contain "inappropriate content" as defined by some unknown authority under the guise of "protecting children" because apparently parents are too stupid/clueless to educate and monitor their childrens' use of Internet technologies.
You can get yourself unblocked, but that basically means going to your ISP to prove your 18+ and request the block removed, thus implying you are going to view pornography even if you just want access to some of the blocked information (even if it isn't pornography related), such as sex education, support for pornography addiction, support for rape & domestic abuse, suicide prevention, drug advice, etc.
While I understand and support the desire to protect children I don't think killing unfettered access to any information on the Internet is the right path to take. The Internet is the closest form of pure universal freedom of speech that humanity has yet to attain, and people afraid of what knowledge will do to others should not be the ones deciding what people get to access.
Oh well. I guess a bunch of people won't be able to click on the ad I paid for.
Thanks, UK.

Kickstarter Campaign Managers - Yet Someone Else Trying to Make a Quick Buck
After starting my kickstarter project to fund my next comic, The Pink Pantser, I was immediately contacted in Kickstarter by someone offering to help me:
Then the following day I received this message in Kickstarter from someone named "Madison Meyer":
Since I had tied my Facebook account to the Kickstarter project, at the same time I got a message from someone named "Diana J. Simpson" from a group called "Get Me Crowdfunded". She started off saying this:
While it's hardly surprising that the success of kickstarter has created an entire cottage industry of "kickstarter-starters" it's still a little disappointing to put a lot of effort into one's project just to be pounced on by all the sharks waiting in the shadows.
If you're running a kickstarter campaign, then you've probably already run into these electronic snake-oil salesmen. I don't trust them, certainly not for an erotic kickstarter project.
In the meantime, I continue to look for ways to promote my erotic kickstarter project without having to pay someone to spam it for me. Any suggestions? Only 40 days left!
Since I had posted about Pink Pantser on the Ultimate Superheroine Forum, and Superheroines In Bondage forum, I had figured it was someone from that community who was trying to be supportive of the little guy (me). So I responded, but didn't receive a reply.Hi NiCheng,
I wanted to get your best contact/email. Let me know if you would like some extra assistance in driving more support. I think I have the perfect audience in mind. Shoot me your email when you get a chance.
Thanks!"
Then the following day I received this message in Kickstarter from someone named "Madison Meyer":
At this point I grew suspicious...this sounded less like people interested in helping me achieve my goal as much as it sounded like someone hoping to part me from my cash. I replied asking if they were offering some kind of service. I never received a response. Madison Meyer's kickstarter account is now deleted.Hi NiCheng ,
I wanted to compliment you on your campaign. You should commend yourself for getting this far with it. Let me know if you want some help in reaching the right audiences. I'm always looking to help out crowdfunders like yourself. Let's get in touch
Since I had tied my Facebook account to the Kickstarter project, at the same time I got a message from someone named "Diana J. Simpson" from a group called "Get Me Crowdfunded". She started off saying this:
I’m sure you get plenty of messages regarding your campaign, some compliments, and many trying to sell you something…The truth is you’re here to develop funds, not spend them.She then proceeded to tell me all about the services they offer, for the sale (this week only!) price of $199.

Kickstarting Erotica!
Creating PowerChick: Destablized was a lot of fun and very educational, not to mention a big checkmark on my bucket list. However undertaking it has made me want to do more comics, better comics, bigger comics! Comics that are all tied together via a massive story arc and tell an incredible story filled with heroes and villains, corrupt politicians and activists, all with erotic and fetish undertones. So big is the story I want to tell that I've already started a new website dedicated to these comics: Omega City Stories.
The next story I'm going to do in the Omega City universe before continuing the PowerChick story arc (which will take 3 more comics to resolve) is a separate series called "Tales From Omega City". The first issue (#001) is entitled "The Pink Pantser" and is the story of how corrupt Omega City mayor Samantha Dawg enlists the help of two superheroines to catch a kinky but elusive activist who likes to humiliate the greedy and corrupt by stripping them nude in public! The story will feature several locations, several models, nudity, light bondage, a light chloroform scene, and lots of witty dialogue!
And I already have the main cast lined up:
These comics aren't cheap to make, though. PowerChick was done with two models and a hair and make-up artist in a single studio and still cost me a pretty penny. The end result was worth it, though. But to go bigger and better, I'm going to need some help.
Enter Kickstarter.
Kickstarter is a site where people like me can pitch projects to the public in order to crowdsource funding, and offer rewards based on the amount pledged. I have set up a project for The Pink Pantser, and the funds requested will go towards getting us the equipment we need to properly shoot on location, venue rental, producing physical copies of the comic, and, most importantly, paying our beautiful models.
So if you'd like to help us create high-quality, Winnipeg-based erotica, check out our Kickstarter project. The rewards range from getting an electronic copy of the finished product (for cheaper than the final retail price!) to being able to have dinner at a Winnipeg restaurant with the four beautiful women above! If you're particularly brave, you can even become part of the comic by submitting a photo of yourself nude or in your underwear to be listed as one of The Pink Panter's wealthy victims (see our project for details)!
Thanks in advance for your support and please spread the word! Together we can make an incredibly fun and kinky story!

A Photoshoot with Miss Heather
We're in the works on our second erotic comic set in the Omega City universe at Mall of Erotica, and for this one I needed to find a model who was mature (40+), fit, and comfortable with being in a superheroine outfit and then subsequently out of said superheroine outfit. ;)
Enter the gorgeous Miss Heather, a Winnipeg-based, adult masseuse with 34F beautifully-sculpted breasts who had contacted me back in 2012 about doing modelling for Mall of Erotica but things didn't work out then. When I needed to cast for my new comic she was who I thought of for the role of Bindella, the older half of a superheroine duo. I reconnected with her and delightfully she was on board with the project. She never had professional photos taken and I needed a headshot for some of the promotional material I"m working on so she invited me to her house for a photography session. Coincidentally she lived very close to a place I lived in a number of years ago, so I easily found my way to her quiet street and went up to her unassuming house.
Now as I've said before I've led a sheltered life, and while I've shot a few girls nude the actual number of naked women I've been around is quite low for someone who is technically a pornographer. So I was a little suprised when Heather answered the door wearing nothing but panties and a pink robe. But it wasn't nearly as surprising as when she introduced me to her husband who was in the room next to her dining room where we did most of the shooting! He was a super cool guy and helped her with her outfit changes between shots.
In the 2.5 hours we were shooting we took around 250 photos; less than what I normally take, which I'm interpreting as a sign that I'm getting better at photography. Indeed, the first few I've processed since yesterday look terrific:
So I know what you're thinking: you want to know why I haven't posted any pics of those delicious-looking 34Fs bare and out there, right?
Well I'm keeping those under wraps until the next comic is complete! Rest assured, not only will Miss Heather's character of Bindella have to bare her boobs, she will most likely be losing her panties, too! ;)
Until then, you can help me get Miss Heather nude by going and buying a copy of PowerChick: Destablized from Mall of Erotica, or by coming to The Boutique (88 Albert St.) on Saturday, June 21st and buying a physical copy, as PowerChick, Cantonessa, and I will be at "Reading is Sexy" to do the whole booksigning thing!
See you later!

PowerChick: Destablized has been released!
Five years ago if you told me I would create an erotic photographic comic my response would have been "yeah, right!". I've always had the interest, but never the photographic skills to take good pictures or the social skills to convince sexy women to strip naked in front of me.
So last year I started working on improving myself in those regards. And it paid off. Though it took six months to organize and finally finish, PowerChick: Destablized is up for sale at Mall of Erotica!
In our story, the heroine PowerChick confronts the villainess Cantonessa during one of her hijacked television transmissions, only to find herself at the tricky terrorist's mercy! Will PowerChick overcome Cantonessa or is she destined to be a humiliated slave forever? Features erotic superheroines, cosplay, unmasking, nudity, and erotic humiliation.
Here's a sample page exclusive to this blog!!!
So check it out! For only $4.99 you get 22 pages of erotic photo comic! Buy today and help up us little kink producers! :)

PowerChick: Destablized Coming Soon!
I'm super excited today to announce the soon-to-be released first ever erotic comic on Mall of Erotica, PowerChick: Destablized!
Our first erotic photocomic features beautiful Winnipeg models Leya as our heroine PowerChick and Sisi as the sinister villainess Cantonessa. In the story, the mysterious Cantonessa is hijacking all world broadcasts to spread her anti-Western propaganda and messages of terror. PowerChick tracks down the source of Cantonessa's signals and goes to confront the villainess only to find herself powerless and at the mercy of this sadistic humiliatrix on live TV! Will PowerChick prevail or will is this the end of our heroine?
Ever since I saw my first erotic photo comic I've been wanting to create one. I came up with the basic plot for PowerChick: Destablized back in October of 2013 but it took me until mid-March to find the right models and organize the shoot, props, costumes, etc. I'm very pleased with the end result and I'm hoping you will be, too! Creating this was a dream come true and there's nothing hotter than seeing your own erotic fantasy come to life!
If I can sell enough copies of this comic I will be able to create the second issue, which I've already mapped out, so if you're a fan of erotica, fan of erotic superheroines, and want to see the local Winnipeg erotica community grow, please spread the word!
And if you're a Winnipegger interested in being a part of future erotic comics, please fill out our talent search form.

Big Things Coming
I've been silent on the website front for a few months as I've been involving myself in the local photography community in Winnipeg...building a skillset and networking with other photographers and models. It's been a very educational process, and as someone who is naturally introverted, it's been a very social one as well. I must say that it's strange to now be 35 but hanging around hot 19-24 year-olds that I never would have dreamed of being around when I was that age. I definitely wasted my youth!
This past weekend I got to participate in a group photoshop featuring implied nude models, and as luck would have it the beautiful, sexy, busty and super-cool Brandy Reicker was there, and I got to shoot her!
Even better was Brandy's interest in Mall of Erotica! We're currently in talks but there's a good chance that we're going to be seeing a LOT more of Brandy in the coming weeks (guess how the title "Big Things Coming" relates to her ;) )!
The month of March is going to see my first-ever erotica released for sale on MoE: an erotic photocomic (or as I like to call them "photoGraphic Novels"). I won't reveal any details yet, but the theme is going to superheroines and erotic humiliation, so stay tuned!
Organizing these shoots is hard work, especially now that I live outside of Winnipeg and studio space is very expensive. And when you're paying models too, you have to spend a fair bit of time saving up between shoots.
All that being said, I'm hoping my endeavours with this site start paying off and I can start buying better equipment or even try to get my hands on some dedicated space to shoot in.
While you're waiting for my first erotic pieces, we have all sorts of new, erotic ebooks for sale at Mall of Erotica from our ever-growing legion of erotic content providers, such as the steamy BDSM serial Bound to the Blind: Day 1, where a woman has to bail her brother out of trouble by agreeing to be a millionaire's slave.
Stay tuned, folks...big things coming soon!
