Stuff to Buy Reorg

I have reorganized my Stuff to Buy page (Stuff to Buy) so now the main page has info about custom pricing, but then splits into three pages to list things for sale: MP3s, Photo Sets, and Videos.

Even though I only have 2 MP3s available at the moment, it still had to be the first page because I needed them to be alphabetical, even though videos sell better for me than photos MP3s. I am slightly annoyed by my own impracticality on that issue...

I'm sure you've noticed the flurry of pay-to-view announcements lately on my blog. The truth is, I had a few things holding me back from producing more content: My "Stuff to Buy" page was a mess and it made me cringe to add things to it, my ordered list of what to do to publish new content was a mess and it made me cringe to follow it, and I had a backlog of stuff I'd already shot that was in various stages of having been produced and it made more sense to me to finish those before I started others.

So I have now finished publishing all the pay-to-views (PTV) that I had started, although I have a few more to announce on the blog (I wanted to intersperse with other types of blog entries as well so the blog isn't solely comprised of pay-to-view announcements). But the hard stuff of editing, listing on NiteFlirt, etc, has been completed.

I swing back and forth: sometimes, I feel like I should just stick with the phones, because it's simpler to get sexy and log in than it is to make content. Then I'll sell some content when I'm away from the phones and feel like I should continue to provide those other revenue streams for myself.

It's all opportunity cost, right? If I spend my energy on my PTV content, I would probably lose my phone sex audience. My phone sex audience likes having stuff to buy, but there aren't enough of them to support making content unless I spend energy promoting my pay-to-view content. It's complicated.

If I were to keep the Fuckatorium in a video-ready state all the time, it would be easier. But I let the dogs play tug-of-war with ropes in there, which fray and leave strings on the carpet. And I have piles of clothes in various levels of put-away-ness (laundry is my nemesis!). And I'm not sure I'm happy with the way the room is arranged for video to start with...

The tortured life of The Girl Who Never Thinks Her Stuff Is Good Enough, right?

Regardless of all my insecure whining, I would appreciate it if you would drop by the rearranged Stuff to Buy pages and tell me if you find them easier to use now. And also, you know, if you want to tell me that seeing all those thumbnails of me drives you complete insane with lust, I'd be up for that, too. Thanks!

Feet Pics x4

I'm pleased as punch with myself to be able to announce, for the delight and pleasure of the foot fetish / heel fetish / boot fetish crowd: I have four new picture packages up for sale, focused on my feet!

Most of the pictures taken during my 40th birthday celebration shoot last September were not focused on my feet, but the original photos were high enough resolution to allow me to offer some excellent pictures just by cropping. Plus, of course, the foot-focused ones we did take are included.

All pictures are at least 1024 pixels tall or wide, and many are larger. The sample / preview pictures below are much lower resolution than the pictures for sale. Each set is $10.

First, Feet In Heels: 54 pictures of my feet in heels (creamy satin off-white heels, and grey heels with fabric embellishment, nail color OPI "Red"). A couple of preview pictures:

Don't my feet look all pretty and elegant? I wish they looked that way all the time... /sigh  To purchase Feet In Heels, click here:



Next up, Bare Feet: 31 pictures of my bare size 8.5 feet (nail color OPI "Red"). Pictures include naked ass in some shots. A couple of preview pictures:

I'm told I have lovely feet, but they seem so... normal to me. They are size 8.5, which is the most common size, with arches that are defined but not terribly high, toes that are long but not freakishly so. Perhaps it is the lack of distinguishing characteristics that make them lovely? To purchase Bare Feet, click here:



Then we have Feet In Bondage: 23 pictures of my feet (nail color OPI "Red"), in grey heels with fabric embellishment, bound by a white scarf. Pictures include bound hands and ass in some shots. A couple of preview pictures:

It's a specialized picture set: feet + bondage. Who knows if it will be popular or not... it's a very specific combination... I made up the tie with the scarves. It felt amazing to be tied up and writhing around the floor with someone photographing me. These are not rational things I crave, I understand that. To purchase Feet In Bondage, click here:



And last but not least, Boots and Sybian: 48 pictures of my vinyl platform boots with fishnet hose, and some with one foot on the Sybian. Pictures include ass and pussy in a few shots. A couple of preview pictures:

I love these boots so much. They're surprisingly stable considering how ludicrously impractical they look. I bought them to fly to Europe to meet my first BDSM lover, and I always feel daring and adventuresome in them. To buy Boots and Sybian, click here:


Even though I've expanded the number of places I need to post new picture packages (the Gallery, NiteFlirt to create the package, MyFlirtStore, my Stuff to Buy blog page), having the gallery makes it so much simpler than it used to be. Now it feels much more like the hard part is choosing the pictures, instead of all the other administrative trivia surrounding the posting of a picture package. Yay progress.

And may your feet be happy, always.

Image Gallery!

Even though I've been busier today than I feared (what with it being Super Bowl Sunday and all), I did still manage to get a very exciting thing done - I created Gallery Galiana! http://galianachance.com/gallery

I wanted a simpler web-based way to deliver groups of pictures for sale, especially now that I'm getting a new camera (any day now!). I can easily enter captions, protect albums which are pay-to-view, and have the user experience be a little more feature-rich than I am willing to build on my own. On Friday, I realized that my hosting provide had free image galleries available as auto-installer scripts, so all I had to do was compare features, install, configure, and I was good to go!

Each individual task was simple enough to do, but of course, it took time to read through all the options, make changes, test things, and the inevitable "scrap the whole thing and reinstall because you'll be sorry later if you don't" ... twice. At least I'm predictable.

I have two galleries ready for your perusal, if you don't mind helping me out and testing them, please. Thanks!

First, a free, public album, of pictures from my 40th birthday celebration shoot in September which have been posted on the blog in one form or another. http://galianachance.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=1

Then a "private" album, which means it's password protected, which are a few of my favorite pictures from the at-home amateur-photographer photo shoot I did in July 2010, including one topless. The password for it is "reader" -- as in blog reader, because blog readers who read this post will get access to it for free! http://www.galianachance.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4

It would be a huge help to me if you could go check them out, play with the features, and let me know what you think. I can't make changes to the core functionality, but if you have ideas for how it could work best, I'd love to hear them.

It's fantastic to be able to deliver photo content in a different way. And honestly, it's tons easier for me than the way I was doing it, now that it's all set up. I'll still continue to deliver a .zip file with all the pictures, but many people can't do downloads, or want access from their phone. I'm thrilled I can provide it.

I love that you can view them as a slide show. I love that you can click on individual pictures to see a higher-resolution version. And of course, I love the ability to write captions easily.

Those three things together, well, this was a triumph. Making a note here, huge success. (apologies to non-gamers for that last reference...) Well, look at me still talking when there's science to do! (stop that, GLaDOS, just stop it right now) Anyway, this cake is great. (give. me. back. my. blog, dammit.) Ahem. I apologize. We had to tear a few things to pieces and burn them. We seem to be okay now.

(someone should stop me from posting after midnight...)

Anyway, hopefully now picture sets can be released more rapidly, and be available in more formats. Yay! Goooooo Galiana!
