BLISS WARRIOR IS TAKING A VACATION
Written by Miss Bliss on August 15, 2008 – 1:28 pm -Dearest Readers,
Thank you so much for all of your support since Bliss Warrior began in February of 2007. When I first began the blog, I thought it would be primarily for straight women - a Bi-Girl’s take on love, life, beauty and health. I was more surprised than anyone, when it was bi-girls who started reading, writing, and supporting the work.
I also did not expect this blog to be a launching pad for bisexual organizing and empowerment. Thank you to all the leaders who have started hosting Bliss Brunches across the county and who are planning on making a big Bliss splash at next year’s Pride Events. All of you amaze me and keep me working.
A special thank you to Jungle Jane for encouraging me to build a website for bisexual women to meet others for friendship, community and flirtatious fun. I would have never taken on such a huge project without you. Jungle Jane is also the one who discovered our wonderful programmer, Christian, and I thank him, too, for making the Hotel a live, working, incredible community.
And, of course, I must thank all of the incredible bisexual women I have met across the country and online in the last year and a half. Bisexual women are finally coming out and finding one another. Thank you all for the emails you send expressing how delighted you are to have met bi-girl friends. Thank you to all the testers of Hotel Bliss who are helping create a supportive, fun and safe culture for bi-women to be their wonderful selves. Being bisexual is beautiful and I am so happy we are creating community that celebrates that fact.
But, after a year and a half of writing, programming, organizing, and promoting, I am tired. I desperately need a vacation away from my laptop. So I am taking the rest of August off to have a little break. The Bliss Warrior blog will return in September.
Obviously, Hotel Bliss will remain open while I am away. Jungle Jane will be monitoring membership applications and will be there if you have any technical problems. You can email her at the Hotel by visiting her hotel room: http://hotel.blisswarrior.com/junglejane.
The Hotel Bliss Boutique will also stay open and if you have any questions about becoming a seller or buying a product, please visit Christian at his hotel room at: http://hotel.blisswarrior.com/christian.
So, thank you all for making the little b in LGBT get a little bigger…
I love you all so much!
XOXOXOXOXOOX

TOO YOUNG FOR MONOGAMY - Tales From the Seattle Brunch
Written by Miss Bliss on August 11, 2008 – 6:58 am -“I’m in an open relationship,” says Geneva.
Eight bisexual women have come together for brunch, community and friendship on a rare sunny day in Seattle. This is my first trip to the great state of Washington, and in the last twenty-four hours I have fallen in love with Seattle’s mountains, hills, trees, and clean sparkling air. During brunch, the city woos me even more by introducing me to seven beautiful, bright and beguiling bi-women.
“You are,” asks Sadie, the blonde with perfectly painted dark eyes. “I’m jealous.”
“How is that working out for you,” asks the tall brunette, Nicole, sitting across from me.
“Well, we were monogamous the first year we dated. I think it’s important to establish a relationship first before opening it up. But we’re both in our early twenties and we knew when we first met that we were way too young to be strictly monogamous.”
“I don’t like to share,” says Sadie. “Being with a couple is one thing, but being in a couple and bringing in another? I couldn’t do it.”
“So you both date other people separately,” I ask. “Other girls I know who are in open relationships often say the funny thing about it, is the more you date other people, the more you appreciate your relationship and the less you want to date others.”
“It’s funny you mention that,” says Geneva, looking at me with her clear, bright eyes and pretty freckled skin. “My man will meet one of the guys I am dating and he’ll tell me later, ‘That guy’s not up to your level.’ He does it in a really sweet way, too. It isn’t like he’s trying to put down the guy out of jealousy, he truly wants me to be with men who respect and appreciate me.”
“I’m jealous,” says Sadie. “I want that!”
“Well, darling, anyone as cute as you are, anytime,” Geneva says with a flirtatious smile, completely in her power.
“Me, too,” says Nicole with a fetching smile.
“It isn’t easy. You have to communicate a lot for it to work. I mean, sure, I have buttons that can be pushed and I can get jealous. Like if he dates a petite blonde - everything I am not - it’s hard not to feel a little jealous. But you talk about it, work through it, and grow. So far, it’s worked for us.”
This is why I enjoy bringing bisexual women together for conversation, friendship and support. Some of the girls who came to the brunch are monogamous, others are in open relationships, and some are looking for a combination of both. Simply meeting other women who are creating successful new kinds of committed relationships helps girls to realize there are many options for love. Although some bi-women are content with traditional monogamous relationships, others are searching for something more. By taking a risk and inviting strangers to brunch, bi-women are finding each other and discovering supportive friends.
As always, after the brunch I received over 30 e-mails from Seattle girls who want to attend the next event in Seattle. If you are in Seattle, and curious about meeting other bi-girls, I encourage you to join the private, free community site the Bliss Warrior team built this year, Hotel Bliss. Seattle girls are checking in and would like to meet you. (CLICK HERE to apply for membership.)

NOT SEEKING BARBIE - Tales from the San Diego Brunch
Written by Miss Bliss on August 5, 2008 – 3:08 pm -
“You know why they flag your posts on Craigslist,” says a fetching brunette wearing dark sunglasses. “Because you are a real girl. Craigslist will post the most outrageous fake stuff from some creepy guy pretending to be a girl - but if you actually are a woman? Flagged right away!”
Twenty-two bi and bi-friendly women came together for brunch in San Diego on a warm Saturday in July. Unfortunately for me, I got stuck in four hours of Comic-Con traffic on Interstate 5 and arrived right when the bill was being passed around. Luckily for me, half of the girls offered to extend the afternoon by having a drink a block and a half away in a dive bar. We are out back on the patio, musing on why our ads keep getting flagged on Craigslist.
“I think it’s unhappy lesbians,” I say. “They have so much hostility towards bi-girls and don’t think we should be posting on w4w. I wish Craig would make a section for just bi personals.”
“It’s not lesbians,” says the brunette emphatically. “It’s Craigslist’s aversion to REAL ads from REAL girls that is the problem.”
“I think the second anyone sees ‘bi’ in an ad, it gets flagged. I could not keep an ad about this brunch up for more than five minutes without it being taken down, no matter how much I begged for it not to be flagged.”
“But I didn’t have bi or bisexual anywhere in my ad,” the brunette says. “I wrote the sweetest, most normal ad ever. Seriously! I titled it ‘Not Seeking Barbie’, and wrote that I was a girl looking for a non-plastic real girl. The sweetest most genuine ad ever! Not seeking Barbie! I described myself and what I was looking for - followed all the rules for a w4w post and NEVER mentioned I was bi. Five seconds later, it’s flagged!”
“And the creepiest, grossest, obviously fake ads where some guy is seeking three women to stick live animals up his behind never get flagged,” laughs a tall gorgeous redhead.
“Oh, you saw my ad,” jokes the brunette and the two of them laugh.
“Have you written to Craigslist and asked them why your post was flagged,” asks our sweet hostess with cropped hair.
“I have tried,” I say, “but they send you to this completely unhelpful page where a ‘flagging’ expert is supposed to write you back, but they make it so cryptic it’s like you are just supposed to get frustrated and give up.”
“So what do we do if we can’t post on Craigslist,” asks another pretty girl in polka dots.
The conversation moves again to various topics: pride, lesbian-bi tension, dating girls, turning straight girls… We laugh and talk and once again, I am amazed and delighted by the magical openness of bi women. Their sexual power, friendliness, joy and exuberance.
I turn to our hostess and event organizer and say, “Isn’t it amazing how far your group has come in less than a year?”
She smiles and says, “We are up to 100 members now. It is truly amazing! And look at what you’ve accomplished this year, too - the blog, the hotel, the cities you’ve visited…”
I smile at her and thank her for being the leader she is. Even with the frustrations we experience with Craigslist, we are slowly finding each other and for the first time, organizing.
“Next year,” the redhead announces, “we are going to have a Bliss Warrior float in San Diego Pride. It’s time to bring the real party to pride!”
I hug her and the many new friends I have made and slowly prepare myself for the drive back to LA.
HAVE YOU HAD A CRAIGSLIST POSTING FLAGGED? TELL ME ABOUT IT!
WHY DO YOU THINK IT WAS FLAGGED?

WHY INVITING BI-GIRLS TO BRUNCH IS THE BEST
Written by Miss Bliss on July 1, 2008 – 8:59 am -Lovely and luminous readers,
In the last year, as you know, I have sponsored or attended brunches in Los Angeles, San Diego, New York, Albuquerque, Miami, and most recently, Toronto. At these meetings, bi-women come together to share stories, meet others like them, and build community. But what you may not know, is after those initial brunches, amazing bi-girls emerge to organize and coordinate future events.
In San Diego, we originally met with 8 women and now, thanks to the diligent hard work of our dear “Do It In the Dirt” (her Hotel Bliss handle) that group has 87 members and is growing. Each month they host events in S.D. and are amazing, wonderful, sweet and sexy girls. If you are interested in joining them, please CLICK HERE to be added to their mailing list, or visit Do It In the Dirt at Hotel Bliss.
On Saturday the 26th of July at noon, I will be joining the group for brunch and truly hope all S.D. girls reading this will join us for community and flirtatious fun.
Last month, I met the marvelous Water Lily (her Hotel Bliss handle) when the gorgeous Gryphon co-hosted my first brunch in Canada. Water Lily had such a good time, she immediately planned the group’s second brunch which happened this past weekend. Yesterday, she posted a blog about the brunch on the Hotel Bliss Guest Blog and I realized it would be a great idea to repost the blog here, so you could read about it, and perhaps, be inspired to have a brunch in your hometown.
Toronto Brunch Reflections (June 28, 2008)
by Water Lily
10 brilliant and brave bi-women met in Toronto today for brunch. There were no shy ladies in this gathering of open-mindedness. Within a short span of 2 hours our conversations covered all things sexual. What is it with straight friends? we wonder. Why can’t we talk like this all the time? Why are straight women so boxed in? we ask. Having already established that we are bi-friendly, bi-curious, and bi-sexual just by showing up allowed us to open up the floodgates of our thoughts and feelings…
10 minutes into our brunch we were sharing body art, lifting up skirts and pulling off sleeves to gaze at each others’ tattoos. Each adornment had a story to share, offering a window to look into each others’ memories. What about childhood? we asked each other. It was plain to see that we were all highly sexual beings from the very start. One woman shared a story about playing ‘Man and Lady’ when she was a youngster…she always wanted to be the lady, of course. Masturbation was a most popular memory. Stories about playing, in an era of innocence, long before we were made to feel that masturbating should be kept secret.
Then we shared our ‘Top Drawer’ stories. Common, ladies, you know what the ‘Top Drawer’ is…….that special place where you stash your sex toys! And how it all goes to waste just sitting there, when we all wish that we could play dress-up and have a play-date with another like-minded woman. Mmmmmm.
Suddenly, we discover that one of the ladies has a $150 gift certificate for ‘Seductions’, a sex shop on Yonge Street. Woah! We want to help her spend it…
The Brunch sadly ends, with hugs and kisses, and excitement for the upcoming Ladies Nite Out.
But, wait! A smaller group of us branches off and we head down to Seductions. We want to spend that gift certificate on something very special, of course. My fantasy suddenly becomes a reality. One of our gorgeous ladies is trying on corsets, and I get to go in the changing room with her and pull in her strings! Another beautiful babe finds a great book on bisexual erotica for women. One other luscious lady purchases a mini-vibrator, for keeping herself charged when she’s on the go! I buy a sexy pair of black high heels, and a glass cock.
This brunch went from hot, to hotter, to super-hot! I can’t wait to meet these gorgeous babes again…
Thank you Bliss Warrior for starting something super sexy in Canada. We adore you, honey!
*******************************
And thank you, Water Lily, for being a bi-leader and for taking the time out of your busy schedule to organize such wonderful events. I cannot wait until life brings me back to Toronto!
See all of you gorgeous ladies in San Diego in just a few short weeks! Need more information about the San Diego brunch? E-mail me at bliss@blisswarrior.com.
XOXOXOXO

SHALL WE PLAY A GAME? - ROUND 2
Written by Miss Bliss on June 26, 2008 – 11:26 am -
Darling Bliss Warriors,
Hotel Bliss is almost ready for its public launch. After months of hard work and tireless dedication from the Hotel Bliss Team, we are weeks away from the site being completed.
I wanted to take a moment to appreciate the amazing, beautiful, sweet girls who have taken time out of their busy lives to help test, use, develop, and create the first private community for bi and bi-friendly girls.
In the last month, I have been traveling a great deal, which is bad for consistent blog writing, but great for meeting the lovely women who have joined Hotel Bliss. In Toronto, I hosted a brunch with the marvelous, Gryphon (her Hotel Bliss alias). We posted ads on Craigslist, and many bi women came out to dine with us for community and conversation who were not familiar with the Bliss Warrior blog or Hotel Bliss. One of the highlights of the meal, was hearing Gryphon describe her experience using the blossoming site.
“One of the things I love,” she said, “is the diversity of women. There’s everyone from the young goth chick who’s super sweet to the joyful woman in her 40s bouncing on a ball topless. Everyone is super sweet. In fact, what is surprising about the site is how kind and friendly all the girls are to one another.”
Shortly after the brunch, I was delighted to see how many of the girls I met joined the site and became active members. One lovely blonde with the alias, Water Lily, has already organized two more events for bi-girls to meet in Toronto and is using the site to organize, plan, and keep the community growing.
In Los Angeles last week, the luminous Beverly Fairfax and I hosted a brunch where half the women were Hotel Bliss users and the other half were girls new to Bliss Warrior who found us through Craigslist or Myspace. This was the first time where women who had met online at the Hotel, got to meet one another in person. There is something funny when girls only know each other through aliases. When one gorgeous curly-haired fox was sharing a hysterically funny story, Beverly turned to her and said, “Are you Double Entendre?”
She said, “Yes, I am. You’re Beverly Fairfax, right? Hi!” Already online acquaintances, now they were becoming real life friends.
Later, when the brunch was ending and we were paying the bill, one of our new friends asked how we would all connect or stay in touch and I promoted the site. Right away, Beverly said, “One of the nicest aspects about the Hotel is how intelligent the girls are on the site. It is not just a kind community, but a thoughtful one, too.”
IF YOU HAVEN’T JOINED YET DUE TO SHYNESS OR CONCERNS OVER THE SITE BEING IN ITS BETA-TESTING PHASE, NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO JOIN HOTEL BLISS AND MEET OTHER BI-GIRLS
1. Next Monday, we are starting Round Two of Bliss Warrior’s Slumber Party Game (CLICK HERE to read more about the game). Round One helped many bi-girls to become new friends when they each answered the question, “What is the naughtiest thing you’ve ever done?” Each day, I posted a naughty answer on the Hotel Bliss site with three names of girls who may have written the answer. Users had 24 hours to guess who they thought wrote the answer and why. When I posted the winner of the last game, I posted a new naughty answer with three new naughty girls. As one user wrote me during the game, “Hotel Bliss is changing my life - I’m not kidding!” I think she was delighted by the many girls who got to know and adore her gorgeous self after reading her naughty answer.
2. Round Two is a little different from Round One because you can choose to answer one of two questions. The first is, “Describe a first time.” A first time can be with a boy or a girl, it can be sexual or not. As long as it is a first time, it qualifies you for the game. The second question you can choose to answer is, “Describe a fantasy you have masturbated to.” Already, many girls have have written to me with their answers and are excited for Monday when the game begins.
DON’T MISS OUT AND JOIN THE SLUMBER PARTY GAME!
1. If you are not a member of Hotel Bliss yet, CLICK HERE to fill out a membership application or email me on myspace at www.myspace.com/theblisswarrior with your e-mail address and I will send you an invitation to join. [PLEASE NOTE: HOTEL BLISS DOES NOT WORK ON INTERNET EXPLORER. PLEASE USE SAFARI OR FIREFOX TO ACCESS THE HOTEL.]

THIS SATURDAY, BRUNCH WITH BLISS IN LOS ANGELES
Written by Miss Bliss on June 19, 2008 – 4:35 pm -
Darling Bliss Warriors,
The one thing I frequently hear is that it is difficult to meet bi-girls. Well, it certainly is hard if you do not leave your house! In the last year, I have hosted and been the guest of numerous brunches for bisexual women across the country and in Canada, and do you know what I have learned? That each time a bi or bi-curious woman decides that she will be brave and do something she never thought she’d do… go out and meet strangers… every time, she has a marvelous time and is grateful she did not let fear keep her home. In fact, many of the most timid and shy girls who finally join me at brunch tend to be the ones who organize future events because they cannot believe how wonderful it was to meet other girls who truly are like them - oh, and did I mention fiercely hot, too?
So, if you are in Los Angeles, come out and meet the girls you really want to know. As any bi-girl can tell you, the conversation will be like no other.
THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 21ST AT 2PM IN LOS ANGELES:
Come out to brunch with other brilliant and beautiful bi and bi-friendly girls. (Originally, we were going to have High Tea, but the response was so overwhelming, we had to move to a restaurant that could seat us privately.) In the heart of Hollywood, have brunch and drinks with intelligent, interesting, and gorgeous girls. We reserved a private booth in a lovely, dark, intimate restaurant with a full bar. To know which restaurant we will be dining in and what the reservation is under, please email me at bliss@blisswarrior.com and attach a photo so I can ensure you are indeed a girl. (Sorry we have to do this but it is to keep the creepy guys away. Sigh.) Entrees range from $10 to $25 and parking is at Hollywood & Highland - $2 with validation.
XOXOXOXOXO

FROM TOMBOYS TO FAB FEMME GIRLS - TALES FROM TORONTO, PART 1
Written by Miss Bliss on June 9, 2008 – 10:20 am -“Growing up, I always felt more comfortable with the boys. I guess it’s no surprise I ended up being the only girl working with the tech guys in IT. They were so surprised I never said, ‘I can’t lift that - I’m a girl.’ I would just lift the box or the couch or whatever - do all the work the guys did - while still being the gorgeous girl you see here.” The lovely girl with a ponytail of long dark hair floating down her back smiles. She obviously knows the power many bi-girls have discovered: it is even easier to run with the boys when you are a confident, femme, brilliant girl who loves being a woman as much as she loves being equal to the men.
Seven women have come together for brunch on a bright, hot day in Toronto, Canada. A lovely girl named Harper, with short cropped ringlets and porcelain skin, has helped me organize the first International Bliss Brunch, and seven bi and bi-friendly women have come together for friendship, community and fun flirtation. “I definitely was a tomboy growing up. I always wanted to play with the boys and only had 1 or 2 really good girlfriends.”
“As I have gone around the US meeting bi-girls for brunch,” I say, “it’s been fascinating to see how many bi-women were tomboys growing up and felt that when they came into their bisexuality they also learned to enjoy being feminine for the first time.”
“I definitely was a tomboy growing up,” says a luminous auburn haired girl with blunt bangs that highlight her almond shaped eyes. “I mostly had guy friends growing up. But I may still be a tomboy. You’re lucky I put on mascara! That’s a lot of effort for me.”
“Oh my gosh,” says the fetching blonde next to me, decked out in an animal print dress trimmed with black lace, “I was such a tomboy! Always out playing sports with the boys. Then I went through a granola stage where I never shaved or anything. Can you imagine?” And it is hard to imagine, seeing her in a sharp fitted black jacket and sexy heels. “When I knew I loved women, everything changed. I suddenly loved being a girly-girl and all the things that come with being femme. Waxing, jewelry, lingerie, make-up - I love all of it now.”
The brunette sitting to my left has large, pretty eyes and a sharp, sexy presence. She muses, “I think that’s because girls can be so mean to each other. It made it easier to just play with the boys.”
Harper looks up brightly. “Absolutely. During college I decided to live with four other women in a house and at first, I thought, this is just going to be a house full of drama. But it ended up being great. All of the girls got along (well, except for two and that fight only started when I was about to move out.) The girls came up with quote boards that we hung on our own kitchen cabinet doors. You couldn’t write on your own quote board, but you could write on the all the other girls’ boards. To this day, I still have my quote board. It makes me so happy to read it and remember that women really can get along without being catty or mean to each other.”
The conversation moves away from the tomboy topic, but I quietly wonder about this pattern among bi-girls. So many of us felt growing up that we were the outsider to girls and chose to spend more time with boys because they were “easier”. Sometime later, each of us learned to embrace our femininity and our sexual desire for both men and women. Is the desire to have a female lover tied to these early feelings of separateness from girls? Does loving women help us to love ourselves? Does celebrating the beauty of the female form encourage us to celebrate our own girly beauty? Or, had we been accepted by the girls early on, would we desire female love in adulthood?
Let me know what you think. Were you a tomboy who grew up into a fab, femme, girly-girl? Share your story here.
XOXOXOXOXOOX
