Below is the newsletter that I recently sent out. Those subscribed to my newsletter get “first notice” as to new pictures, updates, and news (Subscribe on my newsletter page: http://rachaelbenedict.com/files/links/newsletter/ ) :
Happy June! I know that this is a few days early, but looks like I have a busy week and, if you know me, I’d rather be 10 minutes early than 10 minutes late 
I’ve discovered silk stockings, thanks to a much appreciated thoughtful gift from someone. I think I have a new fetish. Seriously. Silk is cool in the summer, and warm in the winter, so is something I can wear all year. Scratch that idea I sent in my last newsletter about it being “too hot” (it is probably “too hot” to wear nylons, but what can compete with the luxury of silk?). The only place I’ve found to get silk stockings is my favorite online stocking store,StockinGirl.com (because of my long legs, I wear a size “large”). They are made only two places in the world and very hard to find, and it takes 500 silk worms three months to make one pair of stockings… I could gush and enthuse more…
Within the VIP area, I added a few previously un-seen new pictures and more links. Rotated out 3 pics from the VIP area to the “public” gallery (and put 3 pictures back in the VIP area). I’ll probably be shooting with that photographer again in September or October- I’ve been slowly releasing the hundreds of pictures we shot in April. If we’ve already met, you might know the reason why I’m saving money… I thought I’d be able to announce that in this update, but sometimes others don’t move as fast as I do
I’ve also added a “touring” page, since I keep getting asked if I do that. After much thinking, I think that I might. As I continue to meet people traveling thru St. Louis, it’s hard to resist the urge… I’m also feeling the “bug” to go to either coast and enjoy beaches again I’ve left space to send me a message about where you’d like to see me, on that page.
Finally, I’ve been a little distracted with some mainstream contract work and personal projects. This doesn’t make me any less available to meet; but it does mean that as a time-management necessity, I’m answering emails only once daily (sometimes twice), and unless we’re meeting that day, it’s usually not discreet for me to talk on the phone if you have my number (even if you did catch me, I’d be very scattered). If you’ve caught me on Twitter, please don’t assume that because I tweet I am in any way available (Twitter is easy to “tweet” from on my phone, and sometimes I pre-schedule tweets for my own discretion.).
Unfortunately I’ve also been getting barraged with “spam”. Even if we’ve previously met, please fill out the applicable part of the contact form again (although if we’ve met, you don’t need to give me screening info again), or make sure the subject says “RachaelBenedict.com Website Contact” – this will ensure that it doesn’t get trapped by my “spam” filters…. just the constant process of staying organized and balancing my private life with my very private life!
I hope everyone had a memorable Memorial Day weekend. I celebrated by going to a national cemetery, finding no parking, and spending a few moments at the coffee shop up the street talking to someone behind me in line about how awful the war in Afghanistan is and was. It’s just unnatural for people to kill people, and the survivors also suffer. I celebrate this holiday in thoughts.
