Me vs. Me

"Pleasure Pamela" vs. "Pamela Pamela"

Where do I draw the line? Is there a line?

2nd Annual Date Auction

October 26th marked the date of the 2nd Annual State College Young Professionals' Date Auction: Meet the Challenge. Just like last year, the Date Auction raised money for The Second Mile (specifically the scholarship program for their Challenge Camp).

Again, 20 eligible bachelors and bachelorettes from the State College area were up on the auction block - myself included. Local businesses donated various gift certificates for the dates -- bowling, theater tickets, dinners, a wine tasting -- while others donated food for everyone in attendance to nibble on. And new to this year, we even added a raffle drawing, selling tickets for a chance to win prizes also donated by area businesses (of course there was something from me!).

This year's event was such a success! Just so you get the idea, last year we raised about $4600 (pretty awesome for a group that had been in existence about 5 months).

This year? What did we raise? We raised $7100!!!! How awesome! We totally destroyed last year!!! I totally "bought" 2 people. Hey, all in the name of charity. Tee hee!

I'm amazed that I was "bought" for $1,000 (the highest bid for the night). I'm lucky to have some really awesome people in my life (the photo is me with my "owners")! That $1,000 will send 2 kids to camp, so the money we raised that night will send 14 kids to camp!!! Go us!!

We're always willing to accept donations at our various outreach events. The next big event I'm participating in is the "Polar Bear Plunge" to raise money for the YMCA of Centre County! Yep, AGAIN!! If you're a State College young professional and you're interested in the Plunge -- either plunging or spotting -- let us know! We could use more Plungers!

MEXICO!!!

In September, I was fortunate enough to enjoy a weeklong vacation in Cancun, Mexico. And all on "For Your Pleasure's" dime! This was the FREE TRIP that I earned with the company and it was soooo awesome! What made it more amazing was that we were lucky enough that it was all-inclusive! Ohhhh yeah... the food was on my mind.

I spent the week lazing by the pool with a trip to Chichen Itza, a visit to Selvatica for some ziplining, a visit to a local market for real carnitas and orchata, and a trip to XCaret. And, many late-night trips to the 24-hour spot that had gelato... yummm...

Cancun is so beautiful -- with its soft, soft sand... amazingly blue waters (the colors seemed so unreal), beautiful people...

We stayed at the Cancun Caribe Park Royal Grand (yeah, try memorizing THAT name. it took me the entire week) where the staff was so accommodating and friendly. The food there was so yummy. I may not have had any alcohol, but I certainly ate my fair share!

What a much-needed vacation!

Risky "research"

So it turns out it is possible for vigorous product "research" to cause carpal tunnel syndromes. Yep.

AVN Expo

I recently had the opportunity to attend the AVN Trade Show in Hollywood, FL and it was an unforgettable experience! For someone like me, who loves to learn as much as possible about products and the brands that make them, it was heaven! I was able to meet the people behind the creations of some of my favorite toys and I'll always remember that.

Driving over 20 hours alone to get there... And yes, not even 36 hours after I got into a car accident. Nothing was getting in my way! I admit, I toyed with the idea after I received the invitation. Could I really afford to go? Could I really afford NOT to go? I decided I couldn't afford not to go. And when I have a friend offering me a place to crash while I was there, my rental car and I were on our way!

It was a weekend of networking, learning, and meeting amazing people.

I got to chat with the folks from OhMiBod, LELO, njoy, and Je Joue. Oooh, totally got to meet the man who designed SaSi!!! Holy cow!!! I can't even tell you how many times I thanked him for creating her! So now I'm excited to try out my own "G-Ki" since it won the award for Overall Design for Women. I'll let you know what I think when I do... ;-)

Seriously, why wouldn't I want to tap into their brains a little more? I was given the opportunity and I took it!

There were brands there that I'd never heard of but got to know and hope you will get to know them soon, including Tickler who makes the awesomely cute "Toyfriend" toys and Laid with their pretty sweet looking designs.

The "O" Awards also took place over the weekend.

Nominees included njoy, OhMiBod, Je Joue, LELO and Shunga. So awesome!!! Cuz we carry them!! :-)

A few winners were Je Joue, LELO, and Shunga. The rest of the winners can be found here.

I may have to check out another expo....

Check me out in M.O.O.D. Magazine!

Soooo... it's finally here! The July issue of M.O.O.D. Magazine was released a few hours ago and I am their cover girl! Yay! Check it out. Read my interview! Lemme know what you think.

Come Bid On Me!

I'm getting auctioned off again! Wednesday, Jan. 13th @ The Mezzanine (formerly called "The Cellblock"). Bidding starts at 7:30pm.

A date with me is on the auction block for the Penn State School of Law's "Relay for Life" fundraiser.

Should be a good time! Come out if you're in the area and show some support and help us raise some money!

HBO's "Real Sex"

Since I don't have HBO, I catch it when I can at the boyfriend's place and I happened to catch the newest episode of "Real Sex". It's about time! It feels like new episodes are few and far between.

This newest episode is titled "Stocks Down, Sex Up" and it's based on how with the economy being down, folks are coming up with more creative ways to make money. Phone sex operators... more styles of porn. Can I just say, if you happen to catch it, do you think the woman that runs her own phone sex company is kind of a hottie? 'Cos I do. ;-)

They also showed a craft session at Babeland where they were making their own sex toys. Yay! Crafty can be so good! Just don't hurt yourself!

What would you do if you lost your job? If your work hours were cut back?

Did you know that by being a consultant with "For Your Pleasure", you could work an average of 20 hours (including parties and paperwork) and make full-time pay?

Look at the numbers:

• when you start out, you're making 40% commission. Our parties average $500 a show and that means you make $200 a show. Parties can run anywhere from 2-4 hours.
• Do one party a week. 4 parties a month x $200 per party avg. = $800 in commission. Plus, you've hit bonus, so you'll get an additional $100, which means you've made $900 in that month.
• If you did 3 parties a week, you've worked maybe 12-15 hours. You've made about $600 in commission for that week alone.
• Let's say that you went out and found a 40hr/wk job that paid you $8.50/hr. In that 40-hour workweek, you've grossed $340. Now take out taxes. How much did you make?
• As an FYP consultant, you're a business owner, which means you have tax deductions.

What sounds better? $340 minus taxes working at a full-time job that you might not be happy at OR earning $600 or more when your "work" is spent making new connections and talking romance and toys?

Which works better for you? Working 40 hours a week OR working 12-15 hours a week?

Which option will give you more FREEDOM so you can spend more time with your family and doing what YOU want?

Polar Bear Plunge!

On Dec. 5th, 2009... 17 members of the State College Young Professionals (calling ourselves "SCYPcicles") participated in the Annual Polar Bear Plunge to benefit the Bellefonte YMCA's Kids Program. We were among a record number 137 plungers and our group raised $2,000! The air was 31 degrees and of course it was snowing... the water was a refreshing 37 degrees.

I raised $400 in donations. THANK YOU to all of my donors!!

I'm excited for next year's Plunge!! Bring it on!

THANK YOU to the folks at 3twenty9 for designing it! I think it's pretty awesome!

A new website is in the works as well.. along with a new domain name. Things are changing... for the better, of course!

I love being a consultant with "For Your Pleasure" and I'm excited for the new things that are coming!

I was AUCTIONED OFF!

On Nov. 17th, I participated in the State College Young Professionals' "Fall Collection: A Date Auction" to benefit our local Second Mile. And yes, I was one of 20 people being auctioned off for "dates".

Our goal was to raise $4,000. Some thought it was a pretty lofty goal. Could we actually pull it off?

Oh, WE DID! We raised over $4,200 with just the winning bids alone! :-) That didn't include the portion of the cover charge that was going to the charity as well! How awesome is that?! :-)

I'd love to thank everyone that came out to support us. Even if you didn't win or bid, just coming and paying cover helped us exceed our goal.

I'd love to thank the folks at the Cellblock for letting us use the club for the auction and for providing everyone with such awesome service!

THANK YOU to the local restaurants and businesses that donated gift certificates for the "dates".

I'd love to thank the fellow auctionees for putting themselves up on the auction block. I definitely don't mine making a fool out of myself for a good cause (this was the second date auction I participated in -- the first was for a THON fundraiser). Plus, I think we all got some great "date" activities. :-)

And, I'd love to THANK the folks from the SCYP who put the entire event together! It ran so smoothly and looked effortless.
