the myspacing of flickr

18 July 2007
In my most recent post about Flickr censoring my photos *again* even after the very same photos had been officially approved by Flickr (I'm still waiting for them to fix the rest, please un-censor me, kthxbye), I suggested that someone ought to "write an article called 'The MySpacing of Flickr."

oh, rammstein

17 July 2007
Thanks to my pal at Poor Mojo Newswire, I present you with Rammstein's Sonne video (Wiki page) -- featuring a sexy Snow White spanking and enslaving hunky miners in service to her gold-dust huffing addiction. Snow White is played by gorgeous Russian actress Joulia Stepanova. Very entertaining, very Rammstein.

flickr continues to self-censor my photos

16 July 2007
This is one of the many (now) restricted photos: Okay, this service is now totally unreliable. Suggestions, anyone? Update: Here's a Flickr photo extractor someone wrote (for pulling all your photos out of Flickr and moving them to another service) called Migratr. Scroll to the bottom for the new version. Update: I received […]

"She might not be a household name, but Violet Blue is the leading sex educator for the Internet generation." Link (Amber MacArthur interview video -- it came out sooo great!).

audacia ray and the fuckbot army on GETV

16 July 2007
This is one of my favorite GETV episodes yet; after the event we did (I interviewed her in front of an audience at the Center for Sex and Culture last week), Eddie and I did this fab GETV segment about Audacia's book, Naked on the Internet. Very fun! Watch it […]

taking a break

15 July 2007
Image via my new Flickr crush, santacroceisabella. I just wrote a nearly 3000-word intro to Best Women's Erotica 2008, got all the author and editor bios together, and turned them in. Phew! Now, would someone take pictures of me like this one? So hot.

holly hunter’s new project: saving grace

15 July 2007
Being a huge Holly Hunter fan, this series seems like a dream come true for me: sex, crime, a complex femme heroine -- sort of makes me wish I had cable again. Or time to watch it. Snip: Compared to the neurotics, moms, and ingenues that Holly Hunter is best known […]

a nice party pic

13 July 2007
From a party I went to last weekend. This is actually when I interrupted something interesting in the hall, and they let me take this photo before leaning over and shutting the door.

the geek squad is truly, truly evil

13 July 2007
You'd think they'd know better after three months ago, a 22-year-old woman and her mother sued Best Buy and its "Geek Squad" computer repair team for dispatching a technician who filmed the daughter taking a shower (using his cell phone). But then, last week a sting caught a Geek Squad […]

lesbian gangs on fox news, redux

12 July 2007
For this week's Chronicle/SF Gate column, I developed my drive-by post about the Bill O'Reilly lesbian gangs segment into a full-on exploration of the piece -- discovering some extremely interesting, underreported items along the way. In the same way as driving by a car crash and slowing down, peering into […]

thomas takes off the (rubber) gloves

10 July 2007
I have a lot of issues with porn reviewers. Why? Because most of them lie. They lie like dogs, like a rug on Burt Reynolds, like the lyingist liars that ever tried to come up with another word for "female performer" and thought that "cumslut" was appealing (or even a […]

nebraska considered harmful

10 July 2007
If you work for a state program in Nebraska, you can't use the word "sex" or "sexual" in any of your public media. The state government of Nebraska hasn't outright stated that they're "doing it for the children" but what they're doing right now is certainly destroying the children (and […]

waiting for audacia

9 July 2007
Sounds like a romance title, but maybe for a cupcake and panty romance. She'll be at my house in an hour; while I wait and print author contracts for Best Women's Erotica 2008 (nice cover, Cleis), dig the Vixen's recent interview on Bookslut: "Alt porn" is hot right now. Violet Blue […]

[video] reuters: japanese sex dolls

9 July 2007
Reader nightbird emails me saying, "Saw this while reading a Reuters article on Griefers. Thought you might be interested..." It's too bad I can't embed their player, but do visit 'Love dolls' woo Japanese men to watch the video (beware: autoplay). There's no new news in it, but instead a […]

sunday: more satanic sex panic

8 July 2007
My dear friend Thomas has some really interesting thoughts about the 10 Zen Monkeys sex panic interview I posted a day ago, and talks about being a porn writer while dating and living in the very sex-negative, anti-porn feminist climate of circa-1980 Santa Cruz, CA (home of UC Santa Cruz). […]

speaking of fetishes, oh, cfnm how I adore you…

8 July 2007
Image via this free gallery. I recently discovered a nice nest of CFNM blogs (clothed female, naked male) via my Australian, female pro-porn pal Ms. Naughty's superlative CFNM resource guide. They're all connected somehow, and link to affiliate paysites, but the pics and video samples are all free and a whole […]

a fidelity fetish

8 July 2007
Monogamy is its own kind of fetish. To wit: the heteronormative, yet consumable in a disposable, bag-o-chips kind of way article in the Guardian UK today, Is anyone faithful any more? I love these articles for all the sweeping assumptions and generalizations they make, like reading Star Magazine, but for […]
