Etsomnia™ Volume XXXIII: Put a Ring on It

You know some bone-head is going to use this to propose to his girl. A proposal is no time to make a bad joke, and THIS DOES NOT COUNT AS A TWO CARAT RING!!!

DEAR PORN HUNTERS: Don’t let the “XXX” in the title fool you. Unless you are planning on proposing to some lucky* girl, you have come to the wrong place. Sorry for the confusion. Happy hunting!

Etsomnia™ Volume XXXII: Fan Friction

Just your basic awesome Madonna narwhal. By HayleyCassatt, who has kind of a narwhal fetish

Etsomnia™ Volume XXIX: What Time Is It?

Those cherubs are looking suspiciously buxom, and their gold lamé boy shorts are reminding me of Peter Hinwood’s Rocky Horror costume. That’s too much irony, even for me.
