First off, thanks to each and every one of you for reading my blog, tweeting/direct messaging me, google talk-ing, hanging out with, or calling me. Prior to blogging, I became something of a hermit after a few really god-awful jobs and a bad car accident, thinking there really wasn’t much of a plus to hauling myself out of bed in the morning. Dorky as it’ll probably make me sound, twitter kinda put the proverbial spurs to me to get involved with other humans again.

I am a dreamer, always have been – I come up with ideas that I will expand upon at great length for a conversation or two, then set aside because “it’ll never work”. Sometimes, though, I think they’re useful or good enough to pursue and I make myself keep running with them…the Massive Manufacturer List was one of these! A great labor of love, it was a pain to get started but is now one of my favorite things to work on. Not too long ago, I had another idea that managed to hurdle the “it’ll never work” mantra and gain momentum in my brain. This led to a chat with a really cool Etsy momma I met on twitter, which led to several more, which produced a sketch, which produced a prototype, which then gave birth to “Oh my god, I think this is going to work!”

That idea produced the Chilldil, which you’ve likely seen me talking about frequently on twitter. A simple but kinda neat idea (IMHO), it is a special sleeve for sex toys, dildos, and the like that is filled with natural materials that can be microwaved or chilled in the freezer to transfer temperatures to your favorite sex toys. Great for headaches and neckaches when you’re not filling it with faux phalluses, the design is purposely discreet so you can leave it lying about or store it in the freezer full time if you want to.  We’re even making a special washable sleeve that slips into the chilldil so you can use it for refreshing the temperature mid-play.

But – I need help.

We (my maker and I) have got pretty much everything all set up – we know what we’re making, we know how we’re making it, how it’s being packaged, what materials we’re using, who’s doing the advertising (cough), and other sundry concerns involved in bringing a new product to market that usually result in panicked last-minute “omfg what NOW?” reactions. We lack capital, however.  I’ve found really nice packaging (a tube, you can see it in the video), but it needs to be ordered in batches of 100 tubes and I have literally no savings or income for this at the moment.

I, of all people, understand the not-having-money thing. I fully comprehend the financial situation the vast majority of us are in, and I’m not asking you to empty your pockets! What I AM asking you is to spread the word. If you have a few minutes to spare:

• Leave a supportive comment here
• Mention my project on your blog
• Follow @ThatToyChick and @Chilldils on Twitter
  
• RT or Tweet info about Chilldils
  
• (Especially) Leave a comment on YouTube
• (Especially) Leave a comment on the Kickstarter campaign.

The more popular the Chilldil looks, the exponentially greater chance I have at running a “it’ll never work” idea into a “holy shit, it DID work” reality, and beyond.

Thank you a million times over for reading. I am very interested in giving back to the sexblogger community once Chilldils gets off the ground, as they’re pretty much the reason it’s happening in the first place.
