 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR November 2008 


Dear Editor,

We really have been having a fun time reading Kasidie Magazine. It's about time that something like it existed.

I was wondering about your playtests. How do you do them? My husband and I were debating whether you use professional models, and if they are actually "testing" the products or just posing for the photos?

Also, we have some friends who recently developed some new sex products. How do you choose what products to playtest? Can anyone suggest one?

Sincerely, Christina


Dear Christina,

Our playtesters are not professional models... Well, some of them might do some modeling professionally, but more importantly they are all real swingers with profiles on Kasidie. In fact some of them may look familiar, such as our current playtester for the OhMiBod, Melissa. She, along with her husband Zalo, were our Couple of the Month for May 2008. A lot of the swingers who shoot with us for one reason, have so much fun that they are always looking to get in front of our cameras again.

While one or two photos in each playtest batch might be posed in order to properly show the product, the majority of them are not. We ask our playtesters to genuinely test the products, have fun and give us their honest feedback afterwards. Any smiles, sweat or "o-faces" are the real deal. Our photographers just snap away while it happens. We are trying to give our readers an honest evaluation of each product, not just produce eyecandy.

Some of our products are just interesting things we stumble across on the internet or in stores, like Sports Sheets. Some are products that friends or readers have raved to us about, like the Hitachi Wand and Wahl. Others are products that are actually sent to us from the creators asking us to playtest them, like the Sexercise Ball. If your friends have a product that they'd like to see us playtest, just have them email us at labs@kasidie.com and tell us about it. We (and our playtesters) are always on the lookout for fun new products for Kasidie Labs.

Thanks for Reading!

Sincerely,
The Editor



Notes on Creating This Issue

The Cover and Unicorn:
This month's is when we think about the things we're thankful for.I for one am very thankful for our incredibly cover shot. I think you'll agree that the spread on the table looks delicious... and so does the food! Which leads me to being thankful for our cover model and Unicorn of the Month: Insatiable1, who I'd love to spend some private time in a wigwam with. Most of all, I'm so very thankful for our dear friend Mike at Flirty & Fun Photograpy who has worked so hard for us and provided us with more photoshoots than any other Kasidie photographer to date. You can see more of his photography all over this month and past month's issues. His work has been outstanding and we couldn't love him more!

Couple of the Month:
The photoshoot of our November Couple of the Month: Terry & Angell from San Antonio, really made us smile. They wrote us many month ago with such enthusiasm asking to be a Kasidie Couple of the Month, that there was no way that we could say no.
