So sleepy: Links and videos for you

I’ve been up working since before 9am, and this is my good night kiss to myself — and you, dear reader. I often say that reading my blog is a lot like dating me, and now moreso with comments! It’s been a day of research due at 10am (for a team project I just got an email about completion 30 minutes ago, yay thank you incredible team), column research and writing, making more backend pages for the new site design (mmm, backend) phone meetings and much more. I did get the Goldilocks-style dildo bins while I was out, too — hey, a girl needs a coffee break… In between, I saw and read a few things that are good, bad and downright awful. Here we go:

* This clip of my celebrity crush Viggo Mortensen fighting naked in a men’s sauna (via Fleshbot) is intensely Reservoir Dogs violent, but holy goddamnit Mortensen is sexy and it’s super-hot. Reminds me of my #1 Hollywood sex scene, the one of the stairs from History of Violence (embedded after the jump). #2 is every sweet and tender scene in Secretary, including the typo spanking, also embedded after the jump, though be warned my blog looks weird because that function seems to be bugged/broken for the moment…

* Inventor’s Spot has this top ten list of sexiest lingerie and sex toy ad campaigns (via Viviane). Agree?

* Horrifying beyond belief: the anonymous tip to this awful, scary news item about an Australian gynecologist — known as “the Butcher of Bega” — who mutilated and abused hundreds of women, even though he’d been reported *ten years ago*:

Carolyn Dewaegeneire, a patient who broke her silence on a national TV news program last week, was admitted to Pambula Hospital on August 2002 to have a minor lesion removed from her labia. Before she lost consciousness to a general anesthetic, she said Reeves leaned over and whispered in her ear: “I’m going to take your clitoris, too.” After the operation she discovered all her external genitalia had been cut off her body. It is alleged Reeves later boasted of removing “all the fun bits” — and said she wouldn’t need them as her husband had died. In 1997, the Professional Standards Committee did not strike him off but banned him from being an obstetrician.

* Off topic: can I just say how happy it makes me to see Comcast get spanked for fucking with clients’ p2p/BitTorrent use!?

* Disney planning an adult boutique club for naughty-minded VIP‘s? Can we look forward to Minnie Suicide anytime soon, I hope? Nope — it’s all over the blogs but smells like a resurgent hoax, folks… (Thanks for link #1, C!)

* Guy Hepner sells some incredible erotic art, and his Flickr photostream has tons of arousing, lovely samples from (and of) some very famous people like Helmut Newton, and Drew Barrymore when she was still cute and hot. (Guido Argentini image via.)

* Hot sex scenes after the jump — which is bugged and the presentation is broken because of something in the YouTube script I think (so tired), so watch the yummy videos then hit your “back” button to comment. I hope to have this solved soon:



“History of Violence”

“Secretary”

  1. Ugh, please no suicide girls references they are the Walmart of altporn and treat their models like trash and keep a tight lid on everything by massive censorship. They are the antithesis of feminist erotica.

  2. Hi there nice lady,

    I do sometimes feel a little like I’m dating you–thank you for being such a nice and thoroughly enjoyable imaginary girlfriend.

    good on ya!

    Kyle

    PS–shoot me an email if you please, I want to show you something *cue ominous music…followed by giggle*

  3. Here in Australia, everyone is (justifiably!) freaked by the whole Doctor-thinking-he-is-God case – here’s a link to the case notes where the asshole was finally de-registered:

    [Yes, believe it or not, I do check the de-registered list every time I get a new doctor. Just to be on the safe side!]

    I even had a GP recently tell me that I should only go to a doctor for a pap test – despite the fact that the women’s health nurse I see has the highest cell collection rate in the state. As my midwife mother advised me many years ago, only let someone near your girly bits if they know what they’re doing, and preferably if they spend all day, every day, doing the same thing.

    Maybe women will see this as a reminder that they should always go with a health practitioner that they feel comfortable with – if you’re not comfortable, say no, make them stop and see someone else. Trust your instincts – if you’re told everything is fine but your body is saying otherwise, get a second opinion. You ARE worth it! And even if you’re frightened, please don’t be afraid to come forward and tell the truth – it is really hard to do, but you may be able to help someone from going through the same thing.

    Your body, your life, your power.

    Keep up the great work, Violet!
