to read, to do in SF: Shocktoberfest 2009

22 October 2009
Image by michaelca. In this week's Chron column, I did a full, glowing writeup of the incredible spectacle that is seeing a show by The Thrillpeddlers. I'm actually not a big theater fan, though I can't recommend this experience highly enough -- especially if you're visiting from out of town. You'll […]

a shamelessly gothy moment

21 October 2009
I just discovered Gothic Charm School. I might be busy for a while. Her book "Gothic Charm School: An Essential Guide for Goths and Those Who Love Them" is fabulous; I bought a copy last night to get myself in the Halloween mood. Well, more than every other day of […]

will lap dance for code (NOT)

19 October 2009
UPDATE 10.21.09: This image (and others in this post) were originally posted by cocakl with this Creative Commons license. Cockai has been emailed asking why they are no longer viewable. /UPDATE Apparently female strippers and lap dancers entertained the presumably (presumptively) male, straight attendees of Taiwan's Yahoo Open Hack Day (simonwillison.net).

health care reform requires balls, apparently

19 October 2009
Silly and fun: the video looks like it was a blast to make -- friend Liam Kyle Sullivan -- known and loved by all as that betch Kelly -- has a new video underscoring the fact that in order for us to get health care reform in the US, someone's […]

3D Kink – “second life for sex” – launches!

19 October 2009
Our local, yet internationally renowned, sex-positive BDSM powerhouse Kink today launched a project that they've been (ahem) slaving away on for a while now: 3D Kink. An online, community-run massive multiplayer online role-playing game, 3D Kink is a world where members can do and be pretty much anything they want. […]

the sexy pumpkin carving contest: Babeland

19 October 2009
Image via Blue Blood's Gothic Sluts. I'll admit that I read the email a little too fast and though, hey, I can look sexy carving a pumpkin. But no, Babeland's "Sexy Jack-O-Lantern Contest" is to win gift bags worth $100, $50 and $25 (online or in person) worth of free sex […]

rating male lovers by country

18 October 2009
Image by must-visit Mirabilia Images. Neither patriotism nor nationalism turn me on. But give me surveys that rate stamina and prowess of the male gender by country, toss out your "no country for uncut men" notions, and it's like giving me a bag of junk food. Not really what you should […]

when all a girl wants is good porn

18 October 2009
Image by Industrial Grrl. A good friend just sent me this post, where a girl contextualizes a dilemma that is all too familiar: why is it so difficult for a girl to find good porn? For me it's not as difficult, and yes, your mileage may vary on how much you […]

sneak previews from the Мишка 2010 calendar

18 October 2009
A longtime lurker on the Мишка blog, I enjoy the art, music and edgy urban culture from the Brooklyn, New York based store's multi-contributor endeavor. I love new discoveries and their blog always has something interesting; lately the gifted erotic photographer Ellen Stagg has been blogging a few outtakes from […]

Tekken’s glossy-hot viral [video]

17 October 2009
This video is called "What Will You Fight For?" as a viral promo for the game Tekken 6 (whatwillyoufightfor.com): it's the second viral in the video series. The first viral vid they made is not as sexycool at the one I'm featuring above, but it's still visually pleasing.

let’s flush the Daily Mail from the universe

16 October 2009
Image by 5733. The Daily Mail has officially pulled a Jay Leno on the (too early) death of Irish boy band star Stephen Gately. Remember when Leno had actor Ryan Philippe on his show, and because the actor once played a gay character on TV, Leno went homo-phobo-obsessed to get Philippe […]

last night’s Litquake erotica reading

16 October 2009
Last night's reading at Supperclub for Litquake was fantastic! My segment was very racy and the above video was filmed from the audience -- pardon the shakiness in a couple spots. Hope you can hear and enjoy it! Everyone was fantastic and I hope to have more (and high quality) […]

like the slick new design?

15 October 2009
Image of model Sophie King by Wolfgang Parker. Night before last, we were up until at least 3am giving Tiny Nibbles a fabulous makeover. Many new features have been added and more are on the way. This upgrade is posh inside and swanky outside; I'll be fluffing it up here and […]

the “last word” on pro-life cupcakes

15 October 2009
Image by Justin Hyte. It's really exciting to see on Twitter that my column this week has been hailed by Clinic Escort as "the last word" on this topic and is being 're-tweeted' around the twitterverse. Neat. It might make you angry to red ad, but it's got levity, new stats […]

reading tonight: In Bed, A Night at Supperclub

15 October 2009
Tonight for San Francisco's premiere literary festival, I've had the honor of being invited to read along with Stephen Elliott, Rachel Kramer Bussel (here from New York), Carol Queen and others. From beds, in lingerie. I wonder what Stephen will wear... Anyway, afterward there will be a spanking booth for […]

the real sexbombs of the Mad Men era

13 October 2009
AMC's dramatic series Mad Men is now in its third season here in the US, and despite my usual reluctance to dig the popular stuff without a critical eye, I'm definitely hooked. Tight writing, a clever and calculated balance of character- and narrative-driven storytelling, style/costuming/design choices that tell stories within […]

Susan Sarandon’s daughter and Special Agent Mulder

12 October 2009
This is a scene from last night's Californication. David Duchovny, come back to us. Bring that INSANELY hot girl with you. San Francisco has enough Prosecco and stripper poles for all three of us. I'm a sex writer; leave LA do some research already. Screw that 'sex addict' cover story […]

the sexiest camping photos you may ever see

12 October 2009
Never been the kind of girl to go camping -- love my dry clean only clothes, and does my hair ever look like it wants to "rough it" (in the wilderness, you dirty birds)? No. (It does look fabulous when fresh out of my motorcycle helmet, however.) Anyway, sweet sweet […]

go Lorelei!

12 October 2009
We miss Lorelei Lee here in San Francisco like you wouldn't believe -- we were all excited for her move to NY for grad school (and some even benefited from her pre-move giveaways). But she left lots of love, friends and adoring fans here. Still, I'll never forget the first […]

thank you for coming out

11 October 2009
Now that I've giggled and wiped tears from my cheeks after watching the above video, I strongly recommend that if you do anything unselfish today, or anything to contribute to National Coming Out Day -- watch the video. Even if you're out, or don't think you can do anything. This […]
