Don't you know, we're talking about a resolution
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that folks are finding my book in the "sexuality" section of the bookstore instead of the "parenting" section.
At least that's the case at Borders, anyway.
Apparently since it has the word "sex" on it, and so that relegates it to the section where most moms rarely ever find themselves, at least on purpose anyway.
Daisy suggested that we start an underground book movement and covertly move all the Mominatrix books in all the bookstores across America to the parenting section.
Or hell, at least to the very front of the store.
Damn that thing called "life" that gets in the way of important causes.
Regardless of where the book lives, I'm just excited to go find it and take a ton of nerdy pictures of it. Feel free to do the same if you happen to come across it and send them my way. I'd love to have a collection in the Mominatrix flickr pool.
(I have since learned that both Borders and Barnes & Noble have an online feature where you can check book availability at your local store before going on a wild goose chase).
Meanwhile, I'm planning a little challenge for the new year that I'm calling "2010: A Sexual Resolution." Basically, I'm trying to get moms to whip their libidos back into shape with 31 days of daily sexually-related activities.
[If you want to whip your ass back into shape, then there's always the 30 Day Shred, of course].
The best part of the Sexual Resolution is that don't even really need a partner around because it's about you, and not necessarily about your spouse - though he (or heck, she) may reap the benefits.
So, if you want to join me, it's simple - just follow along on my daily Mominatrix blog, where I'll be sharing helpful hints and special tips for the "advanced" students (ahem). I'd love to hear about your own experiences as well.
You know, if you care to share.
And if you prefer to watch, then feel free to practice your voyeuristic tendencies and check out my own daily updates.
Here are my book trailers to give you a little inspriation.
Thank you for such a nice post on this subject I am more than impressed that you posted it, keep posting.

You look fabulous Kristen!! Fun video. I found 6 of your books at Borders (Buckhead near Amtrak) yesterday. On the top shelf and pushed back against the back of the rack. I'm 5' 6" and couldn't reach them (!) without climbing on the shelf, so I pulled them all forward in hopes of helping shorter women than I. The book looks great!

Wow Kristen, you look awesome in those videos! Congratulations on your book... even if you don't like the category it's filed under at Chapters. LOL
You sure are a great advertisement for the 30 Day Shred... you've got me thinking I should do it. I just checked out your ShreadHead blog... looks great!

I'm game. Having worked in a bookstore, I was always a fan of placing extra copies of the Bible in the occult section or Ann Coulter's books in humor.

You are a force to be reckoned with on every level! Wowza!

Dude. That video alone is enough to sell me on the 30 Day Shred. You're hot.

My husband is sitting beside me, drooling. Over you.
So thanks for that darling. If he calls out your name tonight when we are in the throes of passion, I'm kicking your ass.

Wow, 31 days of sexual activity in one MONTH?? I'm fairly certain I didn't have 31 sexual anythings in all of 2009...

um, ahem *cough* if I end up pregnant again this year, you know it's going to be all your fault right? I mean between this and the 30 day shred....well, Hubs and I already cant keep our paws off of one another.

The classification of books in bookstores can be truly weird.

I wouldn't do the covert move to the parenting section. I work at B&N and if someone were to come in and ask us for it we would never be able to find it for them. It would show that we have 10 books in the store, but we would be lost after that. Maybe moms should get in that section a little more often anyway.
