The Week is a Blur

First of all, I want your opinion. Which picture is more appealing to you?
#1
or #2
I played with the lighting and cropping.
This pic was taken last night – we went out with Robert Rosen and his wife for drinks in the Central West End. (You can read my interviews with him here.)
Bob came in town from NYC and had two events in St. Louis. One was hosted by SEX+STL at Shameless Grounds, and the other was hosted by Left Bank Books. I have to say, the one at Shameless Grounds had such better energy. People held back at Left Bank; it felt stiff and bright instead of warm and inviting.
After the reading, we went to Dressel’s for cocktails. I love that they don’t have televisions blaring at the bar. We talked about porn, music, art, and what a shame it is that we’ve never been to New York. We need to plan a trip!
Then we stopped by Club Viva. I had never been there before, and apparently, 10:30 pm on a Wed night is not the time to go. The place was dead, so the live reggae band played to itself. In the tomb-like basement, I sat and wondered about all the mischief people had gotten into at the club – hooking up, fucking on the pool table (my friend did that with the owner years ago), salsa-fueled affairs, interracial lust…
By the time we left, it was pouring down rain. Matthew gave me the shirt off his back and I huddled under the awning of a funeral home while he went to get the truck.
The pic above was taken when we got home. I had stripped off my billowy red Indian shift and was about to take a shower. My hair was a mess, makeup gone, but the thunderstorm and thoughts of impending sex energized me.
We had an awesome romp, and passed out.
This pic was taken about 30 minutes ago:
He fucked me silly all right.
Next week I’ll be featuring stories about my night with a butch lesbian, her essay in response, a lingerie review, and more. Beyond that, you can expect a parenting article (a German mom magazine called “mama” is going to publish an article about me!), a review of Morpheous’ new book How to Be Kinkier: More Adventures in Adult Playtime
Stay tuned!
UPDATE: A professional photographer took a stab at editing the photo. This is how he likes it best!

Somewhere between pic 1 and 2. I like the closer crop – you’ve seriously never looked better. And I like the lighting on your face in #1, but I like the lighting on your body in #2 – you could crop it even closer so it doesn’t show so obviously that there’s a bathroom behind you. I like the doorframe detail/lighting in #1, but in #2 the t-shirt is…dingier and more see-through and justs seems more natural.
But yes, you clearly look amazing in that photo – hair is great, earnest smile, and make-up free is the way to go for you!

#2 is better- Warmer-toned. Can see through the shirt a bit better. Might want to crop the left down to the door frame, even if that means losing the Botticelli Venus.

Hi Kenda, Topnewsdigest.com is scraping posts. I only figured it out because I recognized your picture:
http://eros.topnewsdigest.com/uncategorized/the-week-is-a-blur/
I don’t know if you use Feedburner, but there’s a FeedFlare which let’s you add attribution i.e. “This item is from [your blog.]“

Vivieane Tang appears to have uncovered a blogger stealing random articles from the net for reposting without attribution. Nothing on the post she mentioned references you, Kendra, TBK, or any other sources, although I recognize a couple of them from other pages on which I hang out. Looks like someone is attempting to make money on you, doll. Time for a DMCA notice perhaps?

Number 1, by far!

Wow, that’s a tough one! I love the peek factor you’ve got going on in the second one – it’s really hot. But it kind of detracts from that bombshell of a smile you’re sporting front and center in the first. Seriously, it stopped me in my tracks. So in the end, keep both, and decide which one works better in a given situation, because they’re both incredible.

I like the second photo the best. The enhancing of the nipple and the pantie peek is so hot. The smile is very hot as well. I would crop as close to the door frame on the left to as possible to frame yourself around all the warm wood.

I’d personally go with number two. Though the thought of you not wearing makeup up has me a lil excited for the third.

So sexy…. I’d give you an “awesome romp” any day… or night

Love number 1! Visually it’s great and focuses on what’s important. Plus, there is still enough tease poking through.
Cameron A. 2012-04-11 21:07:59
I like #1 because it focuses more on beauty than sexual imagination.
Nicole G. 2012-05-01 17:30:48
I love the final product. Extremely sexy white t-shirt posing! I would have picked number two because the more of your body to look at the more engaged I feel in your confidence. If that makes any lick of sense!
