Okay, y’all. You ROCKED the Beauty of a Woman BlogFest VI!
Every year the festers blow me away, and every year I have trouble articulating how awesome you all are. THANK YOU for sharing your words and stories, supporting fellow contributors and standing up for real beauty and the beauty of sexuality. Collectively, your messages reached thousands. You may never know the positive impact you’ve had.
Prizes!
The raffle winners will each receive a unique handmade goodie from my mom. Learn more about her woven creations here! She made special BOAW gifts that include the tree logo.
Audio bonuses!
Below you’ll find two Girl Boner Radio episodes that are deeply relevant the fest. (After reading all week, I thought you may want to let your ears take over. ;)) They explore themes prevalent in this year’s contributions: personal growth, from budding to full-bloom, and learning to see and cultivate our own strength.
One episode best suits the Original category, and features first time fester and novelist Heidi Mastrogiovanni! We even talked a bit about the fest. In the second I chatted with Melanie Wise, an actress, stuntwoman and founder of the Artemis Women in Action Film Festival—so empowering. (That episode also features GB action, IYKWIM!)
The raffle prizes go to…
Aurora Jean Alexander: Girl Boner Entry — PG-18
Laura Probert: 35 Things I Want My Daughter to Know About Sex Before She Has It
Shan Janiah Burton: Nevertheless, We Persist
Kimberly Bost: What Makes a Woman Beautiful
Kitt Crescendo: Beauty of Taking the Lead
Congratulations, winners! Please send me your address at your soonest convenience. Your prizes should arrive within 2 -3 weeks.
For your listening pleasure:
In this episode, I interviewed Heidi Mastrogiovanni, author of Lala Pettibone’s Act Two. Learn how she found joy after loss, tips for aspiring writers and more! You’ll also hear Dr. Megan’s thoughts for a listener who wants to incorporate her spicy fantasies into her longtime marriage with her reserved husband.
Here I gabbed with stuntwoman Melanie Wise about perks of physical strength conditioning, its role in gender equality and more! I also shared some fab fellatio facts, blowjob tips from Kait Scalisi, MPH and Dr. Megan’s advice for a listener who isn’t experienced with oral sex.

Thank you all again for bringing your magic to #BOAW2017. Hope you’ll join us again next year!
With love,
August
It was so much fun participating. I’m glad I made the deadline (kinda). The fest also made for some fun party conversation on Friday night. So thanks for that. Congrats to all the winners.
I’m so very glad you joined us, Renee! As you know, I adored your post. Love that the fest came up at a party.
I didn’t make it all the way through the posts, again. So I’m glad you’re leaving the list up there. I will keep plucking away at it, because these are some awesome posts this year!
And I covet one of those water bottle holders. Does your mom take orders. Then again, weaving with rags sounds like so much fun, I may get myself a loom.
Hope you continue to enjoy them, Kassandra! Thanks again for participating. My mom is working on a batch of the bottles. I’ll keep you posted, though I love the idea of you weaving your own, too!
