IMG_3686Hi Everyone! Cathy Vartuli, N’Jalia Rhee and I are looking for male and/or transgendered sexuality or body image professionals to join us on a panel proposal we are submitting for CatalystCon West (Woodland Hills, CA) this September. We had great feedback from our “Does This Panel Make Me Look Fat: Body Image and Sexuality” panel at CatalystCon East last month but feel we would be better served to have a broader point of view on the panel that represents more than just us three women.

If you (or anyone you know) are interested, please check out the CatalystCon www.CatalystCon.com website for dates and our panel’s page/description: http://catalystcon.com/sessions-east/#fatbodyimage

Then email me at TheLadyCheeky@Gmail.com

Thanks so much! xo Elle LadyCheeky Chase

To All My Readers/Followers Across All Platforms …

I wanted to write down thank you to all my followers, friends and supporters. I sat down at my kitchen table and began to type. Upon reflection of all that I am lucky enough to have (which is not a lot on paper), I suddenly became overwhelmed with gratitude for all of you. Like everyone else there are daily challenges with love, money, relationships, etc… Those in themselves are gifts as they make one keenly aware of how great what they actually have really is. What I have is a stunning, smart and loyal group of followers. And, this Thanksgiving Day, you (and ok, along with my dog and family) are the thing I am most grateful for.

Because of you, I am encouraged to pursue my passion for writing and sex-positive activism (and smut) with these websites.

Because of you, I am supported in my intention to maybe inspire somebody somewhere to be gentle with themselves and become a little bit freer and hopefully, just a little bit happier.

Because of you, I am allowed to spend at least part of my day in the joy that sharing sensuality brings me.

And … because of you, every time I sheepishly (yet shamelessly) ask you to vote for me for something … you come through in spades.

It’s an embarrassment of riches and I want you all to know how very thankful I am for all of you this Thanksgiving and the other 364 days of the year.

Much love,

Lady Cheeky xoxo

Come See Me at CatalystCon East!

I’m so proud and honored to be part of a rockstar panel of women discussing body image and sexuality. I will be on a panel along with these fine women, Cathy Vartuli, Kelly Shibari, Heidi Anderson, and  N’Jaila Rhee in our session entitled:

Does This Panel Make Me Look Fat?: Body Image and Sexuality.

DESCRIPTION: Size and body image can have profound and sometimes debilitating effects on a person’s sexual self-esteem and self-expression. Internalized shame and feelings of inadequacy are often super-charged by the constant stream of external judgment, a barrage of media and marketing pressure (individuals are exposed to an estimated 300,000 negative images or comments about weight each year), and socially acceptable prejudice against those who don’t conform.  People of size can be left feeling like a different species, and when they speak up, are often silenced by people citing health issues or the latest diet trend. Plus-size youth are subjected to additional peer pressures that include not only size-shaming but also sex-based shaming.

Releasing the internalized shame and improving our body image can go a long way towards changing this pattern. When people accept themselves as they are, and learn to love themselves and their bodies, they can start making a difference in the world. Shame creates stresses which are hard on the body and on relationships with others, and can reduce mental focus and initiative.

In this panel, we’ll examine the effects of internal and external shame, share statistics and discuss approaches and techniques for reclaiming confidence and self-love, as well as dealing with negative pressure from both society and those closest to us.

Some of the speakers for CatalystCon East include: Francisco Ramirez, MPH, Tristan Taormino, jessica drake, Lidia Anain, Charlie Glickman PhD, Sabrina Morgan, Tizz Wall, Dee Dennis, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Carol Queen, Cunning Minx, Dr. Ava Cadell, Dr. Hernando Chaves, Cooper Beckett, Ducky Doolittle, Reid Mihalko and so many more!

Please check out the CatalystCon website for more fantastic panels given by the best in sex-education and the sex industry. CatalystCon West in September was an inspiring and electric weekend and Catalyst Con East promises to be just as dynamic and stimulating! Hope to see you there!
