Finding Erotica Honors Sexual Health Month in September Celebrating Diversity with ‘Skin Anthology’ Video Series Launch

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Seven years ago, mother, grandmother and pole athlete / movement instructor, Sharonette Briggs, found herself stuck in a dead-end job and dealing with a devastating personal loss. In addition, her business partner, Thomas McKenna was confronted with a cancer diagnosis that forced him to reconfigure his life in very basic and intimate terms. As a coping mechanism, McKenna started a daily writing routine using words to turn his anxiety and pain into power. He shared some of his stories with Briggs and a vision was formulated to create a platform using art and writing as a healing diversion. Finding Erotica (FE) was born.

Initially just books and blogs, Finding Erotica has evolved into an educational platform that provides information, resources, and discussion regarding sexual wellness with a focus on mature adults. In alignment with Sexual Health Month, celebrated each year in September, Finding Erotica, in conjunction with Bad Academic Productions, has announced the launch of "Skin Anthology," a new video series which complements their portal.

Finding Erotica provides an expansive online presentation ranging from books and blogs to workshops and an online adult store. With "Skin Anthology" the site presents a boudoir video series aimed at exploring self-discovery, sexual exploration, empowerment, and wellness. These subjects and more are deconstructed via artistic sexual expression and conversational reveals.

"We initially set out to create a space that provided the kind of support my business partner was searching for but couldn't find. He was battling health issues that impacted his masculinity," expressed Sharonette Briggs, co-founder of Finding Erotica. "He felt alone but he wasn't. Thousands of men and women face health issues that hinder their sexuality. Finding Erotica had a vision to connect people with a mission of establishing an online community to discuss sexual issues, including those related to post-illness and post-injury intimacy. Our original community building blocks were books, blogs and audio. 'Skin Anthology' is our first foray into video, and we are very excited!"

"We believe that sexual health must go beyond outdated notions of sex and relationships," adds Finding Erotica co-founder, Thomas McKenna. "Data suggests that these notions are linked to high incidences of divorce, abuse, intolerance, and severed commitments. Finding Erotica promotes improved communication skills, open-mindedness to alternative points of view and awareness of practices that help love flourish rather than limit forms of intimate expression. FE has been an encouraging resource for me personally as a prostate cancer survivor."

For Finding Erotica, attempting to normalize diverse voices means confronting stereotypes that have kept those voices in the margins and the experience has incurred very real challenges. "People of color have been and still are hyper-sexualized," notes Briggs. "One of the social media platforms that hosts our 'Skin Anthology' series shut us down recently, claiming that we violated their sex and nudity policy. When we investigated other boudoir videos on that same platform, we found them to be far more explicit than ours. What was the difference? Their videos featured white subjects, ours featured people of color. After three appeals detailing the discrepancy, we were finally reinstated. In a sense, what we must do is not just normalize diverse perspectives and confront stereotypes, but also humanize those who are too often left out of the mainstream."

"Skin Anthology" is an engaging series of short features, released every Friday, that explore sexuality as part of being human, regardless of age, gender identity, health status or race. With discovery and learning about the infinitely interesting depths of relationship, "Skin Anthology" tackles the uninhibited spectrum of passion, vitality, and imagination across contrasting lives. Highlights include moments when subjects share how they learned about sex, how they overcame shame, embraced taboos, and reveal details of their preferences, practices, and identities for the first time.

Museum of Sex Presents BAD: Betty A. Dodson, A Tribute

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Museum of Sex (MoSex) proudly announces details about its winter exhibition, "BAD: Betty A. Dodson & the Liberation of Masturbation, A Tribute". This exhibition, the first museum retrospective devoted to Dodson's nearly 70-year career as an artist and educator, will be on view at the Museum of Sex (233 Fifth Avenue) starting December 14, 2020.

Composed of over 50 paintings, drawings, photographs, videos, and ephemera - all reflecting Dodson's unflinching belief in sexual equality for women-the show is organized chronologically, offering an in-depth look at the progression of Dodson as artist, educator, and feminist icon. Dodson illuminates aspects of sexuality, especially women's sexuality, that many would rather ignore.

According to Carlin Ross, Dodson's business partner, Dodson's "self-love and devotion to pleasure inspired generations of women to look inward and tell the rest of the world to f**k off." The show confronts controversial subjects with an impassioned honesty that can be liberating, challenging, and beautiful.

No one believed in the emancipatory power of self-touch more than Dodson. Told through her paintings, drawings, and words, "BAD: Betty A. Dodson & the Liberation of Masturbation, A Tribute" chronicles Betty's journey from a young artist discovering her own sexuality and power in 1950s New York to an adult repressing her desires. She eventually became the well-known liberated feminist who embraced her own sexual needs, destigmatized masturbation, and mentored others-particularly women-on their own voyages in search of self-acceptance and fulfillment.

"Betty is a true feminist icon who spent her entire life fighting for women's liberation through the embrace of pleasure," says Daniel Gluck, the Museum of Sex's executive director and founder. "Betty was one of the museum's advisors and we are honored to be able to introduce our visitors to her rich history and legacy."

"BAD: Betty A. Dodson & the Liberation of Masturbation, A Tribute" was organized by Karen Eckhaus, associate curator.

ABOUT BETTY A. DODSON

Betty A. Dodson (1929-2020) achieved international recognition with several groundbreaking erotic art exhibitions in the 1960s and 1970s before leaving the art world to become a feminist sex teacher. She designed and facilitated workshops that taught masturbation skills so women could explore their own sexual pleasure. In 1974 she self-published her first book, "Liberating Masturbation: A Meditation on Selflove". Her book "Sex for One" was published in 1986 and became a paperback classic when it was revised in 1996. "Orgasms for Two" (2002) embraced partner sex and "Sex by Design" is a memoir that details her experiences with America's sexual revolution, the women's movement, and her feminist sexual activism. She received a Ph.D. in sexology in 1992 and has produced three videotapes that document her pioneering teaching methods. Dodson was recently named one of the top ten sexual revolutionaries by Cosmopolitan magazine and number 43 of the 100 most important people in sex by Playboy Magazine.

Ed ‘NJWeedman’ Forchion Wages His Own War on Drugs – Sues the State of New Jersey Over ‘Bait and Switch’ Cannabis Regulation Laws

TRENTON, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- The 'war on drugs' has just taken a wicked left turn. On Friday, November 20, 2020, one of marijuana's staunchest supporters, Ed "NJWeedman" Forchion held an online press conference at his NJWeedman's Joint location, contesting New Jersey's recent legalization of cannabis. Forchion announced his federal lawsuit against New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, accusing the state of baiting New Jersey citizens into voting for the legalization of a corporate, Caucasian run cannabis industry, under the guise of legalizing marijuana.

Forchion notes that under the current developing legislation, marijuana will still be illegal and in fact, criminalized, in underserved communities.

View Case 3:20-cv-16582-PGS-TJB FORCHION v. MURPHY at: http://njweedman.com/Federal_Cannabis_lawsuit.pdf.

In a 40 plus page document, filed at the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Forchion seeks to have the "Court declare unconstitutional and invalid the application and implementation of the 'Constitutional Amendment to Legalize Marijuana.'" Forchion asserts that the Regulated Cannabis Act, as the amendment is referred to in the lawsuit, "deprives him of equal protection and due process under the United States Constitution and subjects him to selective prosecution."

Forchion notes that the state unfairly allows Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act (CUMMA) dispensaries to possess large amounts of marijuana in violation of federal law while prosecuting individuals such as himself. Forchion, a long-time marijuana activist, has had numerous marijuana related prosecutions brought against him by the State of New Jersey, including a pending matter.

In addition, Forchion proposes that voters were duped into believing that they were voting to legalize marijuana, while unwittingly sanctioning a cannabis industry which only grants legalization to a majority of Caucasian owned corporate entities while criminalizing individuals of color, who in effect will not be granted similar market access.

"This new Caucasian corporate cannabis industry is a sham," apprizes Forchion. "Politicians are in cahoots with corporations to take over and control what is now a multi-billion-dollar industry while excluding the existing marijuana market. We are witnessing systematic discrimination. Only 'regulated cannabis' which is defined as the pot sold by dealers licensed by a new bureaucracy called the Cannabis Regulatory Commission will be allowed in the marketplace. But individuals possessing and selling marijuana - such as myself, will still be in violation of the law. The community that paved the road for legalization and paid the price with incarceration and felonies, are being locked out of the 'new' industry and will continue to be locked up."

"It's the cocaine vs. crack dilemma all over again," explains Forchion, "similar to the war on drugs when prison sentences were handed down to people of color for using crack cocaine, while individuals, who were most notably white, were hardly prosecuted for using powder cocaine. Our State Attorney General Gurbir Grewal is on record stating that the new amendment does not authorize 'unregulated marijuana.' New Jersey is subtly creating a distinction between 'marijuana' for the masses versus state 'regulated cannabis' for the establishment," cites Forchion.

New Jersey has come under mounting criticism since the recent passing of legalization. Politicians, community activists and the media have taken the state to task for attempting to push through a corporatized cannabis culture that doesn't seem to best serve its constituents. Headlines have drawn attention to the state's blatant interest in profits over compassion. In fact, lawmakers' first attempt at enabling legislation has been halted amid growing criticism. The number of licenses set aside for Black and Latino communities in the bill has been widely criticized and advocates have demanded more opportunities be extended for people with criminal records for low-level drug convictions.

Forchion, whose lawsuit positions him squarely amid the ongoing conflict, is no newcomer to battle. At cited in his lawsuit, he has been vehemently retaliated against in the past by the State of New Jersey. In 2002, he was jailed for advocating the legalization of marijuana. Forchion was held at the Burlington County Jail from August 19, 2002 until late January 2003 when United States District Court Federal Judge Joseph E. Irenas, U.S.D.J., hearing his civil rights suit, agreed that the state had violated Forchion's First Amendment right to advocate marijuana's legalization and ordered him released.

In 2016, Forchion and his partner, Debi Madaio, had their restaurant raided by Mercer County law enforcement authorities on marijuana dealing charges. Forchion was held without bail for over 400 days due to the retaliatory charge of witness tampering. He was acquitted by a jury and all charges were dismissed with no convictions.

Registered Nurse and Marijuana Mom Debi Madaio Launches Change.org Petition Requesting New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy Grant a Recreational Cannabis License to Her NJWeedman’s Joint Eatery

TRENTON, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- On Election Day, November 3, 2020, New Jersey became yet another state to legalize marijuana. With big corporate cannabis companies already moving to secure an edge in this new market, one small shop owner is hoping to make her voice heard and secure her piece of the pot pie. Debi Madaio, is the co-owner of NJWeedman's Joint, a popular marijuana-themed eatery, located in Trenton, N.J., across the street from Trenton City Hall.

Madaio has launched a Change.org petition, urging Governor Phil Murphy to grant her small business a recreational license so that she and her family will have inclusion in New Jersey's newly legalized marijuana industry. Madaio is a registered nurse, medical marijuana patient, activist and a mother to two daughters and a special needs son.

Her petition, "Demand Governor Phil Murphy Grant NJWeedman's Joint a Recreational Cannabis License!" can be signed at https://www.change.org/p/phil-murphy-demand-gov-phil-murphy-grant-njweedman-s-joint-a-recreational-cannabis-license .

With Senators Troy Singleton (D-Burlington) and Shirley Turner (D-Mercer) issuing a statement calling for amendments that would give women and minority business owners greater access to capital and allocate 25 percent of recreational cannabis sales tax revenue to 'impact zones,' Madaio is hoping to be seen and heard.

The current marijuana bill includes language assuring only 30 percent of new dispensary, processing and cultivation licenses go to entities controlled by women, minorities or disabled veterans. With a 70 percent windfall left to conglomerate corporate entities, basically many entrepreneurs like her will still be left behind.

NJWeedman's Joint has serviced Trenton, NJ and surrounding communities for five years now. The internationally heralded eatery offers great food, live entertainment and a safe environment to partake in the intake of cannabis. The restaurant's ambiance, created by Madaio, mirrors an actual marijuana grow room with curtains, tablecloths and chairs designed and fashioned after marijuana leaves. The business has been able to survive the pandemic due to delivery and take out servicing and their live outdoor music performances and shows are now also streamed online for a wider viewing audience.

State lawmakers are exploring legislation to help set up the parameters for the marijuana marketplace, and a new state commission, Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC), has been set to start creating regulations for the new industry.

"My partner and I have been early innovators here in New Jersey. We both knew this day would come and held steadfast with that vision. Yet we have been publicly vilified, terrorized and even raided for offering a compassionate refuge for pot lovers! Now that cannabis is finally being legalized, we are facing a new fight. Businesses like mine are in desperate danger of being overlooked by faulty legislation and overrun by political and corporate figures who plan to capitalize on this billion-dollar industry, leaving forerunners like us in the dust. So far, New Jersey does not have a tangible plan in place for small entrepreneurs like me and others," expresses Madaio.

"As the mom of a special needs son, I have sacrificed a lot to see this day," adds Madaio. "It's just not fair that corporate entities will be allowed to swoop in and benefit off of our blood, sweat and tears. Governor Phil Murphy is promising inclusion for the underserved. I want to make sure he fulfills his promise."

While marijuana continues to blossom as one the nation's fastest growing industries, Madaio has emerged as a compelling female figure in the expanding battle to legalize it. As the feminine force behind outspoken and controversial marijuana activist Ed "NJWeedman" Forchion, Madaio is typically not in the public eye. While Forchion has garnered international headlines for his aggressive activism in the fight for legalization, Madaio works full time as a registered nurse, balancing her time between overseeing NJWeedman's Joint and caring for the special needs of her son. While currently working long hours, she has always envisioned the eatery as an outlet which could provide work and income closer to home and nearer her youngest child.

NJWeedman's Joint is located 322 E. State St. in Trenton, N.J. Debi Madaio can be reached at flamingo2b@gmail.com and via the NJWeedman's Joint website at https://njweedmansjoint.com/home .

New Thriller Author to Donate 50 Percent of Book Sales to Help Stop Human Sex Trafficking

HUGO, Minn. /ScoopCloud/ -- In this first book of a new five-part series, "La Familia: Loose Ends" (ISBN: 978-1735416007), author Corey Cepeda of Razor Sharp Publishing, introduces readers to a ruling family reigning terror over Mexico - the De Los Santos cartel dynasty. Filled with political intrigue, murder and family drama, the twists and turns take readers on a page-turning ride they're not soon to forget.

Each book in this five-part series will have a portion of sales donated for different issues including cancer and dementia / Alzheimer's research. 50 percent of the proceeds from the first book will go to organizations in Minnesota that are working to fight human sex trafficking.

"La Familia: Loose Ends" starts with the attempted murder of the country's most powerful drug lord, Vicente De Los Santos, who also happens to be the nation's ruler. It all happens at his 10-year old daughter's birthday party and in the wake, innocent children and women are killed, quickly leading to a national Armageddon. Severely injured, Vicente, "The Boss of Bosses," is out for blood. His eldest son, Ignacio, joins his avenging father while he carries secrets of his own and Ignacio's brother, Santino, returns home to help his family, but becomes suspect that something deeply sinister is afoot.

Vicente's brother, Aurelio, an honest and fierce lieutenant in the Sinaloa State police, opens an investigation and quickly pieces together a frightening enemy. Gabriella, Vicente's wife, is a cunning business woman and mother. She works to keep the family, including her young daughter, Lucita, together while she continues to support the efforts of her ruthless husband.

"I've had the story in my head in for a few years," Cepeda says. "After a recent career break from working in the pharmaceutical industry, I decided it was time to put pen to paper. The words poured out effortlessly."

Inspired by TV shows such as "Breaking Bad" and "Sons of Anarchy," Cepeda says he wanted to write something that showed true conflict between characters.

"I wanted to create a series that I'd want to read - something engaging, gripping, dark and conflicted," he says. "This series is the end result."

"La Familia: Loose Ends" is a phenomenal introduction into the underbelly of the De Los Santos cartel dynasty. It exposes a highly complex and powerful family who are destined for a tragic end.

Cepeda captures this spectacularly uncompromising fictional account of a complex and merciless family that struggles with two things: How to maintain their chokehold on the drug empire they have created; and the bloodlines that bond them.

The book is available in print and digital format on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and from all other major book retailers.

Honoring Kansas’s ‘Hunting and Conservation Excellence’ with Boone and Crockett Club Craft Whiskies

OLATHE, Kan. /ScoopCloud/ -- The conservation of wildlife and the habitats they depend upon is the reason why Theodore Roosevelt founded the Boone and Crockett Club in 1887. Prestige Imports LLC and Kansas Craft Alliance has partnered with this respected organization to create, produce, and distribute a line of Boone and Crockett Club Craft Whiskies.

The Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Straight Rye and American Blended Whiskey are handcrafted in a time-honored heritage that would make the Club's namesakes, Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett very proud.

Our distributors are very excited to Help Preserve Kansas's Hunting and Fishing Heritage through our Fundraising program.

"Wildlife and wild places are abundant today because of the traditions of sportsmen," said Timothy C. Brady, president of the Boone and Crockett Club. "American-made spirits exemplify similar traditions. The camaraderie built at hunting camp or on a stream, and stories shared, are all part of this heritage and outdoor lifestyle. With 133 years of shared conservation success and stories, the Boone and Crockett Club is excited to offer a label that represents the North American sportsmen and be a part of the stories that will one day be a part of our shared legacy."

Of the many accomplishments the Club has contributed a few that stand out are; the establishment of our national forests and the National Forest Service; many national parks and the National Park Service; the national wildlife refuge system; the Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; structured hunting seasons and game laws; and the funding mechanisms for conservation including the Federal Duck Stamp and Wildlife Restoration Act (Pittman-Robertson).

The Club is most widely known among sportsmen for its scoring system and as the keeper of the record books for North American big game, as well as the ethical code of conduct of sportsmen, known as fair chase.

First-Ever Superhero Rap Artist Releases Hilarious Video for Debut Single ‘The Official Adventures of Superhoe’ Just in Time for Halloween

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Available now on all major streaming services, the amazing debut single and accompanying video for 'The Official Adventures of Superhoe' by one of the most exciting new artists in all of hip-hop, Superhoe.

The Miami Beach-based rapper is the ultimate symbol of confidence and charisma. Flaunting a provocative rap style, sparkling risqué costume, and trademark sense of humor, Superhoe is a hero out to save the world with foul-mouthed energy and a sexually dominant delivery.

"Hip-hop artists and superheroes have more in common than you might expect," says Superhoe's manager, Alex Miranda. "It's all about building a larger than life persona and entertaining people."

About The Song

A celebration of the perverted secret identities of pop culture's most well-known superheroes, cartoon characters, and legends, the spectacular new single 'The Official Adventures of Superhoe' is a rowdy Halloween anthem encouraging all people to be unapologetic with their sexuality and love their inner hoe.

Inspired by Funkdoobiest's 1995 song 'Superhoes,' the track showcases infectious lyrics over hard-hitting hi-hats, heavy bass and boasts a highly quotable chorus belted out by Superhoe. Her signature trap sound is already receiving worldwide play and is bound to be compared to the current crop of powerhouse femcees Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Doja Cat.

About The Video

'The Official Adventures of Superhoe' arrives alongside an iconic music video made by Upon Design, who's produced imaginative content for top media companies such as CBS, Warner Bros, and Nickelodeon. Premiering exclusively on YouTube, the wild, new visual features hysterical appearances by everyone from Spider-Man and Wonder Woman, to Mickey Mouse and Cinderella - even the 1989 Batmobile shows up! The fierce Superhoe is seen delivering sultry dance moves inside her colorful secret hideout whose front door is a pulsating multidimensional portal.

With her debut release, Superhoe will undoubtedly impress fans and critics alike, and with new music coming soon, she's destined to become an internet superhero.

One of the first questions asked by many prospective Superhoe fans - or Hoes, as they are so lovingly called - is where exactly Superhoe comes from.

Critical Praise for Superhoe

"Visually incredible and blessed with endless nostalgia-fueled fun, Superhoe's music video is destined to become a viral hit." - True Tale Productions, Winner Of Two Daytime Emmy Awards.

"...lyrics would make Stan Lee proud. Fanboys and girls are going to love it." - Upon Design, Creative Agency For CBS, Warner Bros, and Nickelodeon.

"Everything about this song feels grand. It could soundtrack a strip club and comic book convention with equal precision. Undeniably a hip-hop masterpiece." - Miami-Dade Underground Radio.

About Superhoe

Raised on the seductive island of Miami Beach, enterprising stripper Hollie Ween's life was forever changed when she blessed an ancient wizard a mind-blowing lap dance on Halloween night. The drunken sorcerer was so pleased, he gifted Hollie with a magic gold amulet and instructed her to say the name 'Superhoe.' Hollie was struck by a sudden bolt of freak energy and transformed into the Hottest Rapper In The Multiverse-Superhoe! In her magically empowered form, Superhoe is virtually indestructible, able to fly and can generate magic spells that enhance desire and sexual pleasure. With her new superpowers, Hollie's entrepreneurial mind went into overdrive.

Superheroes can't fight crime and save lives around the clock. Sometimes they need a place to go to get away from it all, a place where they can relax and do the things they want to do. In the entire Multiverse, that place is the secret hideout Superhoe's. An ultra-exclusive lounge and high-energy nightclub, Superhoe's lavish decor, dynamic lighting, and striking architecture, offers its guests a hedonistic entertainment experience unsurpassed in this universe or beyond.

Watch 'The Official Adventures of Superhoe' and stay tuned for more from Superhoe!

Honoring Maryland’s ‘Hunting and Conservation Excellence’ with Boone and Crockett Club Craft Whiskies

ANNAPOLIS, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- The conservation of wildlife and the habitats they depend upon is the reason why Theodore Roosevelt founded the Boone and Crockett Club in 1887. Prestige Imports LLC and Katcef Brothers Inc. in Annapolis MD has partnered with this respected organization to create, produce, and nationally distribute a line of Boone and Crockett Club Whiskies.

The Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Straight Rye and American Blended Whiskey are handcrafted in a time-honored heritage that would make the Club's namesakes, Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett very proud.

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is 86 Proof, aged for two years and handcrafted. A responsibility to conserve nature and drink responsibly is a responsibility of all citizens.

Straight Rye Whiskey combines small town, time-honored tradition for a rich and balanced taste at 86 Proof and aged for two years. Please always enjoy the Great Outdoors Responsibly

American Blended Whiskey uses 30% Straight Bourbon Whiskey and 70% Bourbon Distillate to produce our 80 Proof Whiskey which reflects our commitment for over 130 years of conserving wild places.

The Boone and Crockett Club Craft Whiskies sales and distribution partners is the Anheuser Busch beer distributor network in Maryland. Our distributors are very excited in Helping Preserve Maryland's Hunting and Fishing Heritage through our Fundraising program. We help raise funds locally across Maryland by donating items to Hunting and Fishing clubs which then use the money for local Conservation Projects. "We are very excited to partner with Boone and Crockett Club Craft Whiskies," says Ryan Luz from Katcef Brothers our master distributor in Maryland.

"Wildlife and wild places are abundant today because of the traditions of sportsmen," said Timothy C. Brady, president of the Boone and Crockett Club. "American-made spirits exemplify similar traditions. The camaraderie built at hunting camp or on a stream, and stories shared, are all part of this heritage and outdoor lifestyle. With 133 years of shared conservation success and stories, the Boone and Crockett Club is excited to offer a label that represents the North American sportsmen and be a part of the stories that will one day be a part of our shared legacy."

"We're excited to represent Boone and Crockett in our DC and Maryland markets and have the opportunity to bring their world class line of whiskies to our retailers and consumers," said Neal B Katcef of Katcef Brothers.

Of the many accomplishments the Club has contributed a few that stand out are; the establishment of our national forests and the National Forest Service; many national parks and the National Park Service; the national wildlife refuge system; the Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; structured hunting seasons and game laws; and the funding mechanisms for conservation including the Federal Duck Stamp and Wildlife Restoration Act (Pittman-Robertson).

The Club is most widely known among sportsmen for its scoring system and as the keeper of the record books for North American big game, as well as the ethical code of conduct of sportsmen, known as fair chase.

Join your fellow Americans in drinking your fair share when whiskey review and storytelling website Bourbon & Banter kicks off its annual "30 Days of Bourbon Celebration."

Our own sip-and-salute observance of National Bourbon Heritage Month commemorates August 7, 2007, as the hallowed day when the U.S. Senate declared September as National Bourbon Heritage Month. Not only was it a momentous occasion for America's whiskey, it proved our legislators can sheath their daggers long enough to agree on one good thing.

Distilleries Are Co-Hosts of This Party

Bourbon & Banter will give away multiple prizes throughout September including a mix of swag and products provided by more than a dozen of our generous distillery partners. Leading this year's celebration is co-sponsor, Michter's Distillery.

Fans also can win prizes from Four Roses Bourbon, Buffalo Trace, Angel's Envy, Nelson Greenbrier Distillery, Lux Row Distillers, Uncle Nearest, Heaven Hill Distillery, Catoctin Creek Distillery, Chattanooga Whiskey, George Remus, New Riff, Koval, Thousand Oaks Barrel and others. But wait, there's more!

You don't want to miss our annual 30 Days of Bourbon Challenge. In this "tribute to the drinking curious" exercise, participants drink a different bourbon daily for the entire month. No repeats allowed! All participants must sip 30 distinctly different bourbons. Much as we love rye, Scotch or American malt, these do not count for your daily sips. (Supplementary sips of them are just fine, though.)

Fans can visit https://www.30daysofbourbon.com/ to learn more about the #30DaysOfBourbon challenge. When there, download a customizable tracking calendar and Bourbon Heritage Month graphic overlays for social media photos. Yeah, we want to see you drinking in your favorite social media channels and sharing your progress via updated calendars and photos to Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, with the hashtags #30DaysOfBourbon, #BourbonHeritageMonth, and #DrinkCurious.

‘Circumcision Scar’ is a New Memoir Revealing How the World’s Oldest Religious Sacrifice Became a Dubious Medical Mandate

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- "Circumcision Scar" (ISBN: 978-1734555806), an unflinching memoir by Jay J. Jackson, details his lifelong struggle with recurring nightmares that he ultimately realized were repressed memories of his neonatal circumcision. In his 20s, doctors branded Jackson immoral and perverse for suggesting circumcision caused his erectile dysfunction and refused to offer treatment.

Jackson states, "Those doctors didn't chase me out of their office spitting venom because they cared about my health. They did it because I exposed blatant malpractice in violating their oath to do no harm. It's illegal to operate on healthy flesh to cure a malady that doesn't exist."

Jackson underwent two experimental surgeries to restore his foreskin, hoping it would cure the erectile dysfunction his circumcision caused, only to be abandoned by hospital nurses who refused to care for him because they didn't approve of what he'd done.

Jackson explains, "Hospitals are where foreskins go to die, and to have mine surgically restored was considered obscene by these unprofessional hypocrites. I felt raped by a religion I wanted nothing to do with and needed to reclaim ownership of my own body. I've been with my husband 30 years, and he never knew what I'd done until he read my book."

Jackson equates circumcision as a human rights violation and outright sexual abuse. "The doctor credited with making circumcision mainstream in America was obsessed with circumcising women too. He believed circumcision would cure mental illness, blamed a patient's foreskin for his brain tumor, and said circumcision was a humane alternative to castration in curing black men of their predisposition to be rapists."

Jackson believes readers of his book will refuse to hear the facts. "Men are oblivious to the fact that their penis was cosmetically altered at birth, and doctors are trained to uphold that lie. Seventy percent of medical books intentionally omit foreskins, and doctors are willfully forcing their religion onto a nation of free people."

Jackson's book debunks the alleged health benefits of circumcision and states comparing it to a vaccine for HIV/AIDS is delusional. "They used that exact argument for circumcision and syphilis a hundred years ago, but the statistics don't hold up. Foreskins aren't the plague. They're a natural part of the male anatomy."

Jay J. Jackson lives in Los Angeles and hopes his story will inspire parents to protect children over protecting religion. "No parent wants to believe they've harmed their child for no reason, but that's the lie these doctors have forced upon us. Every child has the right to be who they were born to be."

"Circumcision Scar - My 35 Year Foreskin Restoration, Neonatal Circumcision Memories, and How Christian American Doctors Hijacked Holy Circumcision to Dupe a Nation" is available in hardcover and Ebook on September 8, 2020.

US Pharmaceutical Corporation® Introduces Patented Hylafem® pH Vaginal Suppositories Consisting of Boric Acid in a Probiotic Blend

DECATUR, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- US Pharmaceutical Corporation(R), the probiotic and nutritional supplement company, launches Hylafem(R) pH vaginal suppositories, a unique, patented, homeopathic suppository product which efficaciously tackles recurring women's vaginal health issues.

Introducing Hylafem(R) pH, a patented, over-the-counter, probiotic-based vaginal suppository with an easy applicator. Hylafem(R) pH effectively addresses symptoms of bacterial vaginosis (BV), urinary tract infections, vaginal bacterial and yeast infections and post-menopausal dryness, with minimal to no side effects.

"Developing new and innovative products is a passion of mine. My focus is on delivering effective alternatives to traditional pharmaceutical therapies. I am inspired by the ever-evolving benefits of microbes in and on our bodies that are being revealed," said Allison Krebs, CEO, US Pharmaceutical Corporation.

Hylafem(R) pH relies on the power of probiotics to restore the vaginal microbiome to a state of equilibrium. One fast-dissolving probiotic suppository capsule, adhering to the mucosal membrane, lowers pH from 7.0 to 4.5 within 5 minutes after administration. Most over-the-counter oral probiotics may not even reach the vaginal canal, but Hylafem(R) pH directly delivers the probiotics necessary to balance and maintain a healthy vaginal microbiome, which may help stimulate the immune response during vaginal infections.

Easy to self-administer, with none of the potentially dangerous side effects associated with clindamycin, and none of the messiness of metronidazole gels, Hylafem(R) pH is affordable, manufactured and produced in FDA-registered facilities, and provides effective relief, in many instances, with one dose in one day.

NDC 52747-0255-03
U.S. Patent No: 6,797,266 and 10,258,567

OUR EFFECTIVE INGREDIENTS

* Probiotics: Hylafem(R) pH releases 200 billion CFUs of Lactobacillus casei (KE-99) and 100 billion CFUs of Lactobacillus gasseri. Lactobacillus casei produces lactic acid that helps provide a healthy vaginal environment; Lactobacillus gasseri produces bacteriocin, a protein that helps fight bad bacteria.
* Homeopathics: Boricum Acidum 3XHPUS is a homeopathic dilution that combats yeast infections.
* Antioxidants: Vitamins E and C fight free radicals.
* Plant-based capsule: The capsule is made of pullulan, a plant-based material that stabilizes the organism for maximum effectiveness and extended shelf-life.

WHAT HYLAFEM(R) pH DOES

• Treats vaginal bacterial and yeast infections
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is one of the most common infections in women of reproductive age. BV occurs when there is an imbalance of good vs. harmful bacteria in the vaginal microbiome.

• Rebalances vaginal pH and restores vaginal health
A rise in pH can increase the likelihood of infection. One vaginal suppository repopulates the vagina with lactobacilli, the predominant bacteria in healthy women, creating an unfavorable environment for the growth of bacteria including pathogens.

• Helps relieve burning, itching, irritation, inflammation and dryness, inside and out

• Helps reduce odors due to vaginal infection

* Additional applications Also recommended for prevention and maintenance of post-menopausal, post-childbirth, post-surgical, chemotherapy, diabetes-related conditions. In the U.S., 32 million post-menopausal women seek relief from the chronic pain associated with vaginal dryness, cracking and itching.

• Reduces recurrence Clinical management of BV has made little progress in the past two decades. The first-line antibiotic therapy showed 70 to 80 percent curative rates after four weeks of treatment, however, high rates of recurrence occurred within 12 months, reaching 40 to 50 percent.

SUPERIOR BENEFITS

Many products are designed to provide relief for the symptoms associated with BV, UTI and vaginal dryness. But clinical studies show that, unlike Hylafem(R) pH, traditional treatments do not directly address the main causal imbalance of the lactobacillus-dominated (healthy) vaginal flora in the vaginal microbiome and therefore recurrence is frequent.

Hylafem(R) pH is:

* Highly effective and offers sustained relief About 21 million American women under the age of 49 suffer from an outbreak of BV at least once per year. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), most have a recurrence within 6 to 12 months, and enter a cycle of antibiotic use.

* Targeted with an improved side-effect profile: Non-hormonal, reduced cancer risk, blood clot risk.

* Non-prescription: Available over-the-counter

* In powder form: Reduces messiness post-application

* Simple and effective: Contains only six ingredients, delivered in a plant-based capsule.

Hylafem(R) pH can be purchased at https://bit.ly/hylafemph for $29.95 MSRP.

Tennessee’s 1st Democratic Nominee Blair Walsingham Announces the ‘Freedom Grant’

EIDSON, Tenn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Blair Walsingham, Democratic Congressional nominee in Tennessee's 1st District will award two "Freedom Grants," $500/month for one year to district residents. Walsingham says that her Freedom Grant, not dependent upon a vote for her, is intended to "empower individuals to move beyond survival." If elected, she will seek legislation for a Freedom Dividend, a monthly basic income of $1000 to Americans 18 and over.

Walsingham says that corporations thrive on benefits from tax dollars, and says, "It's time for taxpayers to thrive too." Walsingham cites direct cash distributions by Dolly Parton following the Gatlinburg fires, and per capita distribution in the nearby Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, as models of basic income. "In the EBCI, this practice improved quality of life and increased opportunity," says Walsingham, who interviewed Principal Chief Sneed for her podcast.

While basic income plans vary, Walsingham's plan is universal. "This dividend unites Americans with a shared benefit of citizenship," she says, pointing out that while her plan could eradicate poverty, the advantages are not just for low income households.

"Middle class Americans," adds Walsingham, "are suffering from debt and healthcare bills." A common rationale for basic income is automation in the workplace, which the McKinsey Global Institute says may eliminate 73 million jobs by 2030.

Interest in basic income has grown during COVID-19 after Congress passed a round of stimulus checks. A trial UBI in Stockton, Calif., showed that recipients increased spending on food by 12% from the same time last year.

More money in the hands of Americans means more spending. Walsingham says we can "replace the cycle of poverty with a cycle of prosperity," and that her campaign's Freedom Grant initiative is a step in that direction.

If elected, Blair Walsingham would be the first Democrat to represent Tennessee's 1st District in over a hundred years.

Deuxmers Releases New Titles by Peter Shaindlin and by Lee Siegel

HONOLULU, Hawaii /ScoopCloud/ -- Deuxmers Publishing announces the release of two new novels by Lee Siegel, "Typerotica" and "Horseplay"; and a long-awaited collection of new poems by Peter Shaindlin, titled "Ravens, Nights."

"Deuxmers is pleased to have widely published and acclaimed author Lee Siegel as one of its authors, which represents a consequential achievement in expansion of our portfolio," said Omer Kursat, the managing editor of Deuxmers Publishing.

"Typerotica" (ISBN 978-1944521097) is a hilariously comedic and poignantly nostalgic portrait of an aspiring artist as a young man. Consisting of the typed manuscripts of two love stories, it illustrates an analogy: typing was once to literature what sex is to love. As a fifteen-year old, Lee Siegel is dazzled by a then contraband copy of Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer," and decides that he must become a writer. He imagines that in order to do that he needs to learn how to type and then go to Paris to drink French wine, smoke French cigarettes, and have sex with French women. "Typerotica" chronicles Siegel's enrollment in a typing class, his subsequent amorous and literary adventures in Paris, and eventually his friendship with Henry Miller.

If we are to believe Lee Siegel, the author of "Horseplay" (ISBN 978-1944521103) is actually a horse, yes, a talking horse named Gulliver. According to Siegel, "Gulliver dictated the series of twelve stories that are sublimely romantic and yet bawdily down to earth, occasionally melancholy but fundamentally hilarious. Horseplay is indisputably one of the greatest books ever composed by a horse."

"'Ravens, Nights' (ISBN 978-1944521073) - from tranquil pastorales to coarsely hewn cityscapes, erotic ruminations, grandiose reveries, and reimagined haiku to pictographic poesy-is a unique collection that represents an informed homage to the modern canon while staking new territory within the noumenon of twenty-first-century culture," said Mr. Shaindlin.

Frank Stewart, in his review of "Ravens, Nights" stated, "Here is lyric poetry that testifies to the gratitude we must ultimately feel for being alive. Gratitude for forests, seas, stars, gardens, houses, cathedrals, bus stops, and trains-in spite of-and perhaps because of-the world's brevity and ours."

About Lee Siegel

Lee Siegel, Emeritus Professor of Religion at the University of Hawaii, has published eight novels, four non-fiction books, and a translation of Sanskrit love poetry. Siegel's writing has earned him a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, two Residency awards at the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center, a Visiting Fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford, and the Elliot Cades Award for Literature.

BeBe & Bella’s V-Bella Boric Acid + Probiotic Blend Vaginal Suppositories – The Vagina Dialogues: Let’s Talk about Vaginal Health

DECATUR, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Vagina Dialogues: Let's Talk about Vaginal Health! BeBe & Bella(R), the probiotic skincare and supplement company, launches V-Bella(TM), a unique new homeopathic suppository product for vaginal health.

"As the inventor of V-Bella, I am inspired by the almost daily discoveries on the ways that microbes can positively impact our lives. Developing new and innovative products is a passion for me," said Allison Krebs, CEO, BeBe & Bella, LLC.

The vagina is certainly getting a lot of attention lately, inspiring its own devoted skincare lines, self-care handbooks, even scented candles! And it's about time. But even though the V is on everyone's radar, no one is talking about the vaginal microbiome, and how it is critical to vaginal health. Until now.

Introducing V-Bella(TM) from BeBe & Bella(R), a unique, new, probiotic-based, homeopathic vaginal suppository with an easy applicator, to help balance and restore health to the vaginal microbiome.

Gentle and natural, V-Bella(TM) relies on the power of probiotics to restore the vaginal microbiome to a state of equilibrium. Just one fast-dissolving absorbent suppository per day for three days will eliminate odor, reduce discharge and restore freshness, soothe inflammation and redness, ease dryness and symptoms of vaginal and urinary tract infections such as burning, itching and irritation, and rebalance the vaginal acidic pH. It's easy to self-administer, with none of the dangerous side effects associated with some antibiotics, and none of the messiness of metronidazole gels.

The Vaginal Microbiome:

The microbiome refers to the bacteria that live in and around us. We have bacteria inside our gut, on the skin and in the mouth, with over 250 different strains in the vagina! A balanced skin microbiome is necessary for healthy, beautiful skin, and a healthy vaginal microbiome is critical to vaginal wellness.

The microbiome is constantly in flux, and our day-to-day choices (what we eat, drink, how much we exercise, the medications we take, our use of antibiotics or antibacterial products, etc.) have the potential to change the inner ecosystem and lead to an imbalance which can potentially destroy the beneficial bacteria and create room for pathogenic ones to thrive.

In 2008 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded the Human Microbiome Project. For 10 years, scientists around the world worked to discover connections between the microbiome, health and disease. The outcome? Bacteria impacts almost every aspect of human health and disease. Probiotics (and prebiotics) can help the microbiome - and the body - function at its highest potential.

OUR HERO INGREDIENTS: Only Six Ingredients in Total
* Probiotics: Lactobacillus casei produces lactic acid that helps provide a naturally healthy vaginal environment; Lactobacillus gasseri produces bacteriocin, a protein that helps fight bad bacteria
* Homeopathic: Boricum Acidum 3XHPUS is a homeopathic dilution that combats yeast infections
* Antioxidants: Vitamins E and C fight free radicals
* Plant-based capsule: The capsule is made of pullulan, a plant-based material

WHAT V-BELLA DOES: A Mighty Multitasker
* Treats vaginal and urogenital bacterial and yeast infections
* Rebalances vaginal acidic pH and restores vaginal health
* Restores important Lactobacillus bacteria colonies
* Helps relieve symptoms of burning, itching, irritation, and dryness, inside and out
* Helps reduce odors and unhealthy discharge due to vaginal infection

V-Bella(TM) can be purchased online at the BeBe & Bella website - https://bebeandbella.com/ - for $29.95 MSRP.

About BeBe & Bella

Based in Decatur, Georgia, BeBe & Bella was founded and is owned and operated by three women, who happen to be family. The concept of BeBe & Bella's probiotic essentials was born from the feedback of physicians and health care providers as to the amazing skincare benefits that resulted from their patients use of the family pharmaceutical's isolated patented probiotic supplements for digestive problems. Although the probiotic skincare products perform beautifully in their promotion of better skin health, science has proved that probiotics have a role in providing health benefits for the gut, body and mind. V-Bella(TM) probiotic vaginal suppositories are just one example of BeBe & Bella's search for new methods of delivery of probiotics to positively impact our client's lives.

‘Merican Mule Expands, Launches Southern Style Mule

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- 'Merican Mule, one of America's fastest growing canned cocktail brands, has announced the expansion into new states in the Northeast and Southern U.S. The company designs new age variations of the Moscow Mule cocktail, made with premium spirits, ginger, and fruits, in 12oz cans.

Consumers in following states can now find the craft, "Moscow Mule in can" varieties for purchase:
* California
* Connecticut
* Georgia
* Maine
* Massachusetts
* New Hampshire
* New York (Long Island)
* Rhode Island
* Tennessee

The expansion marks a key milestone of growth for the brand, which is sold in thousands of retailers, including select Total Wine & More, Whole Foods and Target locations. Despite the challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, 'Merican Mule has seen an unprecedented rise in sales.

"We anticipated challenges due to the pandemic, especially being a higher quality, premium brand," explained Dean Mahoney, 'Merican Mule's Founder and CEO. "But customers are still discovering our liquid, and once they try it, they are sharing with family and friends more than we ever could have imagined. We're excited to be expanding to new regions."

Mahoney also commented that humble beginnings might be resonating with customers. "We really appreciate that our story is being shared. Back in 2015, we were just three young professionals that decided to do something innovative with our lives savings. Now we're at the forefront of the new frontier with canned cocktails." Mahoney met his cofounders while working in the technology sector.

In addition to the geographic expansion, 'Merican Mule has launched a new canned cocktail, the Southern Style Mule. Typically referred to as a 'Kentucky Mule' on bar menus across the country, the 'Merican Mule - Southern Style is made with bourbon whiskey, natural ginger, refreshing orange and a hint of cherry. The bold beverage resembles a cross between an Old Fashioned and a Moscow Mule, standing strong at 7% ABV.

The new flavor is the fourth release to join a lineup that includes the classic Moscow Style Mule, made with vodka, ginger and lime, the Mexican Style Mule, made with tequila, ginger and lime, and the Tropical Style Mule, made with rum, ginger and pineapple.

'Merican Mule plans to announce additional states where their beverages will be distributed, later this year.

About 'Merican Mule

'Merican Mule is a premium, canned cocktail brand that delivers convenient, bartender-quality Moscow Mules made with real, premium distilled spirits, ginger, and all-natural ingredients (instead of malt or alcohol from cane sugar like most hard seltzers). Since coming to stores in 2017, 'Merican Mule now distributes in nine states and thousands of retail locations, offering four flavors at 7% ABV: their flagship Moscow Style Mule (with vodka), the Mexican Style Mule (with tequila), the Tropical Style Mule (with rum), and the Southern Style Mule (with bourbon whiskey).

Honoring Michigan’s ‘Hunting and Conservation Excellence’ with Boone and Crockett Club Craft Whiskies

MT. CLEMENS, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- The conservation of wildlife and the habitats they depend upon is the reason why Theodore Roosevelt founded the Boone and Crockett Club in 1887. Prestige Imports LLC and Imperial Beverage has partnered with this respected organization to create, produce, and nationally distribute a line of Boone and Crockett Club Whiskies.

The Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Straight Rye and American Blended Whiskey are handcrafted in a time-honored heritage that would make the Club's namesakes, Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett very proud.

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is 86 Proof, aged for two years and handcrafted for rich and balanced taste, please always drink responsibly while enjoying the Great Outdoors.

Straight Rye Whiskey combines small town, time-honored tradition for a rich and balanced taste at 86 Proof and aged for two years. Please always enjoy the Great Outdoors Responsibly.

American Blended Whiskey uses 30% Straight Bourbon Whiskey and 70% Bourbon Distillate to produce our 80 Proof Whiskey which reflects our commitment for over 130 years of conserving wild places.

"Tradition comes with age," said Ben B. Hollingsworth Jr., president of the Boone and Crockett Club. "American-made spirits and an outdoor lifestyle are a tradition in itself. Sharing a drink back at camp or around a fire after a day in the field or on a stream is where memories are shared. It may have taken us 133 years, but we're pleased to be able to offer a label that represents the North American sportsmen and this tradition."

Our strategic partnership with Boone and Crockett Club in the Great State of Michigan is Imperial Beverage. They cover the entire state and responsible for sales and deliver through the MLCC.

Of the many accomplishments the Club has contributed a few that stand out are: the establishment of our national forests and the National Forest Service; many national parks and the National Park Service; the national wildlife refuge system; the Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; structured hunting seasons and game laws; and the funding mechanisms for conservation including the Federal Duck Stamp and Wildlife Restoration Act (Pittman-Robertson).

Mighty Grip Inc. and MercVille Productions Release Second Season of ‘The Pole Dancing Chronicles’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Christina Villegas and Jeff Mercer, the creative forces behind MercVille Productions, have announced the release of the second season of their popular web based docu-series, "The Pole Dancing Chronicles." Sponsored and co-produced by Mighty Grip Inc., a leading worldwide sporting goods manufacturer, "The Pole Dancing Chronicles" showcases people and events from within the pole and aerial community.

With the growing recognition of pole dance and aerial art as respected fitness regimens, "The Pole Dancing Chronicles," provides an insider's peek into the sport and the people behind it, highlighting, in particular, men and women who are defying societal expectations and are excelling within the field.

The second season launched with an episode on 56-year-old pole artist Makeda Smith. A grandmother and entertainment publicist, Smith has garnered international media attention for her poling acumen at her advanced age. The second episode of season two covers "Chronicles" producer Villegas and details her love for the art as well as her intention and motivation to create and produce "The Pole Dancing Chronicles" with her partner Mercer. Episode three, the most recent feature, highlights acclaimed multi-championship pole performance artist, Nadia Sharif, a former engineer turned dancer and instructor.

Former docu-reality producers for network television, Mercer and Villegas formed MercVille Productions in 2013 with a goal to create entertaining, inspiring, and informative stories about everyday people. A pole and burlesque instructor, Villegas also opened her dance studio, Flying Curves Dance Studio in 2013. After teaching pole dancing and empowerment through movement to women on and off for nine years while also working in reality TV, she decided to combine her love and passion for pole with her passion for video storytelling and production.

When Villegas began producing "Goddesses Empowered: The Show," a live pole and burlesque show, she was inspired by the various tales, trials and tribulations of her students. She felt that the compelling stories of women who had evolved through pole dancing needed a global platform and the idea for "The Pole Dancing Chronicles" was born. Mighty Grip, a wholesale distributor and online sporting goods store, came on board in 2015 and in 2016 the season debuted with eight shows, which were released online monthly.

"We have met so many wonderful and talented people that have opened their arms and hearts to us," expresses Villegas.

"Pole and aerial is an emerging art and is often misunderstood," adds Mercer. "Our series not only introduces a larger audience to the sport, dispelling myths and concerns, but also serves as a tool of empowerment and motivation within the pole and aerial community."

Mighty Grip, Inc. is widely recognized for their popular grip aids for athletes. Stephanie Housel, President and COO of Mighty Grip, Inc., initiated launching the brand into the pole world, universalizing the use of the product among pole and aerial enthusiasts internationally. "We are honored to offer 'The Pole Dancing Chronicles' as an important vehicle for sharing personal stories about the world of pole and aerial dance," cites Housel. "As one of the leading providers of grip aids, gloves, and protective gear for pole and aerial artists, 'The Pole Dancing Chronicles' allows us to stay in touch and in tune with our client base on a personal level. Our customers are real people with real stories, and we are excited to share them with the world."

Season two of "The Pole Dancing Chronicles" consists of 10 episodes released monthly online through to 2018.

"The slogan of my camp is "Everything you loved as a kid, plus craft beer!" says Joel Paul Reisig, owner of Camp Forever Fun. "I want great beers at camp, and now we have five of the Midwest's best brewing companies!"

"Camp Forever Fun is a place for adults to be kids again. We'll sleep in bunk beds, wake up to the camp bells, eat together in the mess hall, then go outside to play.

"You set your own day, camp will have all kinds of fun activities for you to pick from such as the high ropes course, archery, giant climbing wall, waterfront, yoga, arts and crafts, sports, giant canoe races, capture the flag, tug of war, and bubble blowing. There's something for everyone, and we're all here to have fun!"

At night camp will become a little more adult, and that's where great craft beers come in. It's time to for moonlight beer hikes, s'mores, and theme parties! Not a fan of beer? That's ok, wine will also be available.

Reisig adds, "I'm not interested in running a frat party. I'm looking for a group of responsible adults in their 20s and 30s who want to unwind and have one of the best weekends of their life. Let's play hard all day -- then enjoy a few good beers at night."

The average age at camp is 23 - 39, but everyone age 21 and up is welcome. Camp Forever Fun is an all-inclusive experience with housing, food, alcohol, activities, new friends, and unlimited memories all included in the price of your ticket.

Registration is now open at https://www.campforeverfun.com/.
