First off, the "Encounter" series turned out really well, I think. Thank you all for the support and advice. It was an exhausting shoot (28 pictures is a lot for a lil' amatuer like me) and a little bit scary because of all the firsts the shoot entailed. First real backdrop, first sexual poses, first time as a redhead, and first male nudity of my gallery. I'd also like to thank Mikael for volunteering to pose with me which led to the idea of the shoot in the first place. He was pretty uncomfortable, just as I was for my first nude photos, but he did a great job posing and shooting.

Some of you seem to be mistaking the intentions of my gallery. I know that I just did a sexual set, and have been naked in nearly all the photos in my gallery, but the intent has never been for arousal. The entire point of my gallery is that nudity and sex are absolutely no big deal whatsoever. All of us girls have all the same parts, all you guys have the same parts, there's really not a lot of mystery to it. Everyone's naked at least once a day, it's a natural state and we should appreciate our bodies, not be ashamed by them.

Now, while not everyone has sex, we all at least understand what it is, and at least nearly all of us thinks about it from time to time. There's no mystery there either, and whether it's out of love or just pure pleasure, it is certainly not a bad or shameful thing (as long as it's consensual, anyway).

I hope you all enjoy my gallery, but understand that it's about normalcy and not for stimulation. It's okay to have that side effect, but I just want everyone to know what the intent was. I think it is incredibly empowering for a women to not have the stupid girly qualms about her body, regardless of what she looks like. Our bodies are there for a lot of reasons, and one of the very least important ones is for attraction. No matter what you look like someone out there thinks you are the absolute ideal woman, and the same goes for men, too.

And one last thing, I'm completely done with answering questions about my "band-aid" on my stomach. It's driving me absolutely fucking crazy lately. It seems like someone asks about it every picture. So, if some of you see someone asking that, feel free to answer them for me. It absolutely amazes me how confused it makes some people, it's been around for a long time, a lot of girls use it. Some people have even told me ways to "delete" it from my photos, but doing so would negate the whole reason behind my pictures. I will not change anything about myself for someone else's pleasure, and no one else should either.
