Hello folks! So this week marks exactly a year since I landed in Portland— craziness. You’ve all followed me through this amazing, and at times terrifying, journey. Along the way I have met some amazing people, people who have helped make this place go from scary to home.
Among those those people is a man named Jay Byrd— fun fact: Jay was the first friendly face I encountered at the party I describe in this piece). Jay and his partner Bumper are the kind of people that the world needs more of— kind, giving, endlessly open-hearted and a ton of fun. They never hesitate to give their time, give their resources and give their love. These are wonderful people and right now they need some help. Jay is currently, for the second time, undergoing treatment for cancer. He has several months of chemotherapy ahead of him and the bills and meds that come with that. I’m enlisting you to help me help him.
“How can I help?”
What a great question! Okay, well you could cut right to the chase and go donate a little something to their GoFundMe campaign and that would be awesome.
“Bedhead, I’m sure these are wonderful people, they hang out with you after all, but what’s in this for me?”
I’m so glad you asked! I wouldn’t ask you to help me do something without offering you something in return and what I’m offering is pretty rad. Last week I put out a call to a bunch of my favorite companies asking if anyone wanted to help me host a giveaway and they came through bigger than I had ever anticipated! We have put together a giveaway containing 24 individual prizes— it’s kind of huge— and you can earn entries through social media sharing, donating or (my personal favorite) both!
“Social media sharing? But then my friends and family will know I have all the sex!!”
Calm down. I thought of that and have included several options for sharing only the GoFundMe link rather than this giveaway. That way you can lend support and enter the giveaway without having to share the phrase “anal plug” with Bob from Accounting.
“Sign me up! How do I lend a hand and maybe win stuff?”
You can enter below (after all the prizes— you’ve got some scrolling ahead of you!). The entry process is pretty self-explanatory. I’ve set it up so that you can come back daily and keep entering. There are a couple things to note.
– You do have to pick a prize at the beginning of the entry process. It will ask you to do this EVERY DAY (Pro tip: don’t leave rude responses about that fact to the person doling out prizes, just saying…) and you can specify a different prize each day. Fun!
– Facebook rules say I cannot incentivize the sharing of a raffle or giveaway on facebook pages so that is the one sharing option that does not exist here (though I will give you entries from sharing the GoFundMe link on Facebook, that seems to be legal, I think). there are plenty of options for sharing the fundraiser and the giveaway itself through various other means.
– The terms of the giveaway are listed at the bottom of the raffle entry widget- please take a look. Generally the giveaway is open to residents of US and Canada except where noted.
Big huge thanks to the donors who made this possible: Babeland, Burlesque Toy Shop, Crystal Delights, Elle Chase “Lady Cheeky”, Fucking Sculptures, Good Vibrations, LELO, Lovehoney, njoy, Pleasure Works, Reid Mihalko, SheVibe, Sportsheets, Vibratex and We-Vibe

- We-Vibe Tango
We-Vibe II Plus is 30% more powerful than We-Vibe II. It’s also 100% waterproof so you can use it in the shower or wash it easily with soap and water.
The Tango is a super-powerful petite pocket-sized vibrator. Waterproof with 8 speeds I say this is a must for toys that come with small bullet vibes in them— switch the bullet out for the Tango and everything gets way cooler!
This package includes BOTH the We-Vibe II Plus & The We-Vibe Tango.
We-Vibe 4
The latest version of the first vibrator of its kind, the We-Vibe 4 is particularly impressive to me because the improvements made on the original design were motivated by consumer feedback and it shows. From the satiny silicone to the sleeker shape to the powerful motor, the We-Vibe 4 is just awesome.
