SAN DIEGO - SATURDAY, JULY 26TH AT NOON
Come and brunch with Bliss in San Diego! I am thrilled to be rejoining the amazing girls in SD and hope you all come out and join us for conversation and flirtatious fun.
- FOR THE LOCATION, YOU MUST BECOME A MEMBER OF LBGT FRIENDS & HERE’S HOW:
- The LBGT Friends are an inclusive, diverse and fun group where bi women can meet, socialize and network with other bi women in San Diego County and beyond. We’ve organized several brunches, a happy hour, and art events, and have more events in the works. You can attend an event on our calendar or organize your own event.
- When you request to join the group ladies, please include a photo of yourself (or yourself and your partner) or your request will be denied–this is the only mandatory requirement for membership. Also, please note that a bi-girl’s male partner cannot join independently–the bi-girl must join on behalf of the couple and her photo or a photo of the couple must be posted in the member profile.
- Please join us for conversation, friendship and fun! For more information and to RSVP, CLICK HERE. You can also RSVP by e-mailing me at bliss@blisswarrior.com.

SEATTLE - SATURDAY, AUGUST 2ND AT 12 NOON - I am making my very first trip to Seattle and am delighted that I’ve already had lots of girls write me, eager to come to brunch. I will be staying in the Seattle Center area, and would love help from a Seattle native to find the perfect restaurant for our brunch. Do you know a place that would take a reservation for 10, has a full bar, and - preferably - serves brunch on a Saturday? If you do, please e-mail me at bliss@blisswarrior.com.

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.]
2. Once you are a member, e-mail me your (1) first time story OR (2) a fantasy you’ve masturbated to through the Hotel Bliss site.
3. On Monday, join in the fun by trying each day to guess who wrote which story.
THERE IS NO REASON FOR BI-GIRLS TO FEEL ALONE WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY OF US MAGICAL CREATURES OUT THERE. JOIN THE HOTEL AND JOIN THE SLUMBER PARTY. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THE DECISION.
XOXOXOXOXO

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

UPCOMING EVENTS FOR BI-GIRLS IN TORONTO, NY, ALBUQUERQUE, SAN DIEGO & LA

OUT WITH THE STRAIGHT FRIENDS
Written by Miss Bliss on April 14, 2008 – 2:53 pm -
“How’s your blog going?”
The question takes me off-guard. It is Saturday night and my man and I are out having drinks with his coworker, Maria, her fiancé and their friends, a lovely couple that just moved to L.A. from the east coast.
“It’s going great,” I say, while trying to remember what I told Maria the blog is about. Did I say it was a health and nutrition site? Or did I describe it as a sex blog with tips for women to improve their relationships?
“She has fans all around the country who invite her to brunch with them,” Maria says with a lovely smile.
So, Maria knows about the brunches. Maybe my man told her all about Bliss Warrior but forgot to tell me that she knows? Did I tell her at some work party when I had one too many cocktails in me? This is one of those awkward moments where being half-closeted becomes a problem.
“What is your blog about,” asks Maria’s blonde friend with a slight eastern European accent.
Since I cannot remember what story Maria was told about the blog, I decide to opt for honesty. I look at my man and he nods, letting me know he’s comfortable with my sharing the truth. “The blog is for bisexual women. There are so many bi-girls out there who feel alone or who don’t know any other bisexuals, so I created a blog to empower girls and show them how amazing our bi culture is.”
From the look on Maria’s face I can tell she is surprised. To cover her shock, I tell her man and her friends about the amazing bi-girls I have met around the country, the wonderful letters I receive, and the community site I’m building to bring together bi-women for friendship, conversation, support and fun.
The conversation stays on my blog for a few minutes, then turns back to rare films and under-appreciated big budget flops. Under the table, my man squeezes my hand. No one freaked out, got tense, or treated us any differently than before. Maria smiles at me and I know she is truly seeing me for the first time.
1. IT’S GOOD TO TELL PEOPLE YOU ARE BI BECAUSE IT CHALLENGES STEREOTYPES
Many bi-girls do not come out to their friends because they are afraid of their friends’ reactions. The side benefit of Bliss Warrior becoming a full-time job is it has forced me to come out to people I normally would not come out to. By coming out to more and more straight friends, I have discovered with delight that many are fascinated by the culture and find me more interesting because of my sexuality. If you do not know any bi-girls, imagine how it must be for your straight friends. By coming out to them, I am helping to dissolve negative stereotypes about bisexuals while reaffirming how proud I am to be who I am.
2. IF YOU’RE IN A RELATIONSHIP, MAKE SURE YOU’RE PARTNER IS ALRIGHT WITH YOU COMING OUT
If you are in a relationship with a man or a woman, it is important that you make sure it is okay with them if you come out to friends. In my story, Maria is not just a straight friend, but my husband’s coworker. It would have been unfair to come out to her if I did not check with him first. Even though many bisexuals are monogamous in their relationships, many heterosexuals will assume if you are a bi-girl, you and your man must be into group sex. This is why it is essential to put your partner’s comfort above your need to be “honest” or “out” at all times. The last thing I would ever want to do is set up a situation where my man’s working relationships were harmed or made awkward.
3. IT IS MUCH EASIER TO COME OUT TO STRAIGHT FRIENDS WHEN YOU HAVE A BI COMMUNITY
Since creating Bliss Warrior, I have met bi-women all over the country – some in person, some over the Internet – and I know I am a part of a wonderful, dynamic, strong, ethical community. Knowing there are other smart and committed bi-girls makes it easier to face down negative assumptions about bisexuals. Plus, if I am hurt by an insensitive comment, I now have a group of bi-friends who understand and can offer support. If you are thinking of coming out to your friends, I recommend you develop a few strong bi-friendships first. The friendships can be online and will offer you strength if your straight friends freak out.
4. USE DISCRETION WHEN YOU COME OUT TO STRAIGHT FRIENDS. SOME WILL BE FASCINATED WHILE OTHERS WILL NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT AT ALL.
I have met bi-women who are out to everyone they know and I applaud them. But for some of us, especially those of us who are in committed relationships with men, it is sometimes difficult to be out to our co-workers, relatives and straight friends. Bisexuality is tricky to many because it is not only threatening that you are “part gay” but it is also threatening because you may be “part non-monogamous” which is incredibly scary to some people. One bi-girl was forced out of her job after a coworker showed her myspace page to her boss. We cannot pretend that everyone will instantly applaud us for being out and bi. What we can do, is find the people we can tell, build a strong community so we can be more visible and better understood, and be good, ethical, honest people.
5. JUST BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOU ARE BI DOES NOT MEAN THEY WANT TO HEAR ALL THE JUICY DETAILS
Your private sex life is not necessarily of interest to all people. Friday night, I was interviewed for a web-radio relationship show. The host was shocked that I was not out to my parents. I said to her, “I am in a committed long-term relationship to a man. To my parents we are a happy, relatively normal heterosexual couple. Both of our parents are very conservative when it comes to sex. I wouldn’t talk to them about the sex I have with my man, and they certainly don’t want to hear about it. So how would it benefit me if I told them I was bi?” When thinking about who to share the hot details of your latest threesome take a moment and ask yourself, “Does this person want to hear these details?” You may even ask them that directly before you launch into the fantastically naughty details. Just as you would be discrete about who you shared your anal sex adventures with, be discrete about your bi trysts. Or, even better, share them with a bi-girlfriend who will definitely understand and enjoy the conversation. The world is changing fast, and who knows? Soon, more of your straight friends might just ask you to tell them everything.
XOXOXOXOXO

ASK MISS BLISS – PLEASE HOST A BOYFRIENDS-OF-BI-GIRLS BRUNCH
Written by Miss Bliss on March 24, 2008 – 11:24 am -Dear Miss Bliss,
First, I must say how enamored I am of your articles. I am the boyfriend of a bi-girl and I am so appreciative of your advice and support. Being in an open-yet-devoted relationship like this is new for both of us and we are grateful for your guidance.
I was excited for your first Bi-Girl Brunch in Los Angeles (though slightly nervous to know that my beautiful bi-girlfriend was surrounded by other beautiful bi-women ;-). My girlfriend kept saying what a wonderful time she had. The women were exceptional and so many fun stories were shared. It is good to know there is a friendly community out there for those of us who are “riding the fence” as they say.
On that note, I was wondering if you have ever considered hosting a Boyfriends-of-Bi-Girls Brunch? I have so many questions to ask guys who have been in relationships like mine and perhaps they could give me some perspective.
If you are interested, please let me know if I can help out in anyway, setting up, etc. I know a couple of guys who would love to get together and have an open discussion on this topic.
With Sweetness and Silliness,
The Beautiful Bi-Girl’s Boyfriend
Dearest Boyfriend,
Thank you so much for reading the Bliss Warrior Blog and congratulations on having a successful “open-yet-devoted” relationship. The 19 girls who came to brunch last December truly were beautiful and exceptional and none of us wanted to leave when brunch was over.
You, my dear boy, are not the first boyfriend of a bi-girl to inquire about a Bliss Brunch for Bi-Girls and their Partners. Only two weeks ago, my man and I were out to dinner with a bi-girl friend and her fiancé. “I wanted to go to your last brunch,” she said, “but I didn’t want to go alone! If you had a brunch for couples, where I could bring my man, I would be there.”
Many bi-girls in relationships would like to include their partners in any and all social activities. That is why I am proud to announce that two active Bliss Warriors have offered to host the first-ever Bliss Brunch for Bi-Girls and Their Partners in Los Angeles.
On Saturday, April 19 at 3pm, bi-girls are invited to come alone or bring a significant other to brunch in West Hollywood. Meet other brilliant, beautiful, bright bi-girls and share amazing, magical, sometimes-confusing, sometimes-hilarious stories with other people who get it. To be perfectly clear, this is not a hooking up or dating event. It is an opportunity for bi-girls to come together for community, conversation, and friendship.
Interested in joining us? Please RSVP to my dear friend Cammie – located in my Top Friends and she will send you the address of the brunch. If you do not have myspace, you may RSVP by e-mailing me at bliss@blisswarrior.com. Please enclose a digital photo of who will be attending in the e-mail. Trust me, after having brunched with bi-women in San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Albuquerque, this is an afternoon you do not want to miss.
I so look forward to meeting you, dear boyfriend. Thank you for a wonderful suggestion and an excellent letter.
XOXOXOXOXO
BLISS WARRIOR

THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION, HOW DO I MEET BI-GIRLS PT. 2
Written by Miss Bliss on March 21, 2008 – 11:23 am -
Darling Bliss Warriors,
In the last week, many of you have written to me asking when Hotel Bliss will launch for beta testing. For those of you new to my blog, I am in the process of building the first community site for bi-girls and their bi-friendly girlfriends. So many bi-girls have written to me in the last year asking the question, “How do I meet a bi-girl?” Hotel Bliss will be the site for bi-women to come together for fun, flirtation, friendship, empowerment, and much, much more. Even better, it will be a completely private space where a bi-girl can be her magical self and show a side of herself that she cannot show on sites like myspace and facebook. No need to worry about parents or coworkers finding your profile - we will maintain a strict membership policy to ensure it is a community of bi and bi-friendly women only.
HOTEL BLISS WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING:
- Bi-girls!
- Individual profile pages where you can post pictures, upload video, and share your beauty with other bi-girls.
- Post and find that bi-girl you are seeking. At Hotel Bliss, you will be able to post and search postings to find bi-women in your area. Searchable by state and by city, you will easily be able to find girls like you in your area.
- Blogging - tell your bi stories, concerns, questions, accomplishments with girls who get it.
- The Penthouse - a sensual room to share your pictures and writings and receive comments.
- Private E-mail - contact other bi-girls in a safe, anonymous way.
- The first ever Bi Group Blog - any blogs that you would like to share with the community, you can post in the first group blog made. Read blogs by bi-girls and help the first ever bi community blog to grow and show how amazing our culture really is.
- Send Bulletins - let your new bi-friends hear about events, activities, and get girls out of their house, meeting new friends.
- Boutique at Hotel Bliss - support your bi sisters and buy American! Many bi-girls are creative, talented artists. Buy handmade sex toys, candelabras, lingerie, masks, and more… then meet the artists and read their profiles! Support artists and support talented bi-girls. Buy bi!
- MEMBERSHIP IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY FREE OF CHARGE!
- And, there will be much, much more!
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
In the next few weeks, we will be launching Hotel Bliss for testing only.
- We need passionate bi-girls to join, set up profile pages and begin using Hotel Bliss to make sure there are no bugs or technical problems. You shall be Bi-Pioneers, building the first ever community site for bi-women and their girlfriends. Want to be a tester? Please CLICK HERE and sign up with your e-mail address. (If you have offered to help before, please go to the official page and sign up anyway, just to make sure I don’t miss you!)
- Tell your bi-friends about Hotel Bliss. If you have bi-friends on myspace, or in your day-to-day life, encourage them to check out blisswarrior.com or myspace.com/theblisswarrior and, if they like the blog, become testers for Hotel Bliss, too. The only way bi-girls won’t feel alone is if we work to bring the community together. If you are not on myspace, posting on craigslist is another way to encourage other bi-girls to join us.
- Are you a writer? We also need passionate writers and bloggers to begin sharing their stories. Already on Bliss Warrior, we have two guest bloggers and more have offered to join the party. At Hotel Bliss, you can have your own private blog, and/or choose to share your blogs on the community blog. If you want bi-girls to read your work, please email me at bliss@blisswarrior.com with the e-mail heading “I want to write for Hotel Bliss.”
- Are you a creative soul with something beautiful or sexy to sell? We are also seeking bi-artists, designers, craftswomen, jewelers, knitters, etc… anyone who makes something another girl would want to buy. If you are interested, please e-mail me at bliss@blisswarrior.com with the e-mail heading, “Boutique Sales”. You do not need to have large numbers of your product. Even if you have just one necklace to sell, we will make it easy for you to do so.
- Host a brunch in your hometown and invite bi-girls to meet for community and friendship. During the brunch, invite them to join Hotel Bliss as a tester.
Thanks to all the incredible, brilliant, beautiful bi-girls who have supported Bliss Warrior this year. Your e-mails, comments, and general support make all of the work so very worthwhile. Here’s to 2008 - the year when bi-girls stopped feeling alone and started feeling magical and proud!
XOXOXOXOXOXO

SHE’S A PERFECT GENTLEMAN & SHE’S PACKIN’
Written by Miss Bliss on January 29, 2008 – 3:07 pm -
“I dated the cutest butch girl,” Melissa says with a smile. “I’m a girly-girl and usually into feminine women, but this girl was so hot.”
It is a cool winter morning in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and five beautiful bisexual women have gathered for brunch, community, and conversation. This brunch is notable because this is the first brunch where all the attendees are experienced bi-girls with many stories to share.
“She really is the cutest lesbian I’ve ever seen,” says Melissa’s friend, Kairrie, a joyful and sparkling blonde. “When this girl goes out with us to a bar or a club, she wears a full tuxedo with a bow-tie and everything. But, what kills us, is she has the whole boy look from the hair, the clothes, the shoes… but, she wears full make-up. She’s the cutest boy and the cutest girl at the same time.”
Jackie has long blonde hair that pours down her back and cleavage artfully accentuated in a black plunging neckline. “God, what is up with the girls who wrap up their boobs and squash them down? I’m like, ‘You’re such a beautiful woman! Don’t hide your gorgeous breasts!’”
Kairrie looks down at Jackie’s bountiful chest, and says with a flirtatious giggle, “Goodness, speaking of gorgeous breasts…”
“Why thank you,” Jackie says.
“But it wasn’t just the tuxedo that made this girl so hot,” Melissa steers the conversation back to her original story. “Whenever we went out, she was the perfect gentleman. She opened every door, pulled out every chair, and wouldn’t let me pay for a thing. Not even a drink at the bar.”
“You haven’t told the best part,” Kairrie says. “When this girl went out, she was always packin’.”
“What does ‘packin’ mean,” asks Geneva, another fiercely intelligent, long-haired beauty.
“It means she goes out with a dildo in her underwear, right,” I ask. “They sell flaccid dildos now at sex stores for girls who want to go out with a special secret.”
“Oh, but this wasn’t flaccid,” says Melissa. “She didn’t just drop a dildo into her panties and go. She wore her strap-on and was ready to take me whenever she wanted.”
“It was erect,” I ask. “How’d she wear that thing around without poking into people?”
“She wore it down her left pant leg, so when we danced together, I could feel how hard she was for me.”
“Really,” I asked shocked. “She could dance with a strap-on?”
“She’s an amazing girl,” says Melissa.
“Speaking of butch lesbians,” says Jackie. “My Mom is uptight. She knows I’m a bi-swinger, and that’s fine with her, she just doesn’t want to know anything about it. That’s fine, but sometimes, what you don’t know can get you into trouble. My mom is really active as a referee for softball, basketball, and soccer and she’s straight.”
“Wait,” I say, “you said she’s a softball referee and isn’t lesbian?”
“Nope. The rest of them are, but she is not. She’s cool with lesbians and everything, but doesn’t know a thing about lesbian culture. That’s fine, except her ignorance almost got her into trouble. One night after the game, the lesbians ask my mom to join them for a drink. They go out drinking and when they are about to leave the bar, they ask my mom if she’d like to come home with them and make a Daisy Chain.”
The table erupts in laughter. “Does your mom know what a Daisy Chain is?”
“Nooooo,” Jackie says emphatically. “She has no idea it’s an invitation to a sex party.”
“Did she go,” I ask.
“Oh my God,” says Kairrie, “can you imagine?”
“Oh, no. She had to get up early for work the next morning, so she excused herself. But the next day she calls me and asks me what a Daisy Chain is. My jaw drops to the floor. I ask her why she wants to know, and she tells me the whole story. I cannot stop laughing. ‘What does it mean,’ she asks, and I say, ‘Are you certain you want to know?’ Because I am honest and I will tell her the truth but only if she really wants to hear it. She says, ‘Tell me,’ so I say, ‘Well, Mom, all the girls get around in a circle and each girl pleasures the next girl and no one is left out.’”
“What did your mom say,” I ask.
“‘She said, ‘Oh, I thought they were going to make baskets or garden or something…’”
We laugh and the conversation continues as Kairrie goes to the counter to get us another round of chai lattes.
XOXOXOOXXO
