[video] bloggers undressed + getv/sxsw

Irina and Eddie made the perfect SWXSW wrapup video -- Panels, Hallways, or Parties? Always reporting the issues that matter and striking deep, GETV is on the scene. The video is sooo cute (and I have a cameo)! Also, the newest episode of bloggers undressed is up, asking the fascinating, the […]

in LA this thursday

19 March 2007
For something I rarely do, lecture/workshop with non-student educators (scroll down to events for details). Steve Diet Goedde designed a flyer, I hope to get a digital copy to post here. I'm glad to have a chance to talk about Fetish Sex, as it's such an important book (and a […]

I picked the wrong week to stop smoking crack

18 March 2007
I totally want a case of these matches -- think how fun it would be to be the cool girl at the party with the bottle rockets *and* roman candles in her purse -- and a bootylicious firestarter?! These are Blush matches, from German lingerie company Blush. They have fun […]

Thanks to the lovely people at Tantus, a box full of colorful, potential new sex partners landed on my doorstep yesterday. I, uh, erhm, seem to be running out of places to put them. Eeep! Just look at all that hygienic, lucky silicone...

why are tech writers retarded?

15 March 2007
Rant: I just peeped the Chronicle/SF Gate article Where old and new media collide by Dan Frost. They are using two of my pictures (with permission) and one of Scott Beale's -- they are mislabeled, giving me my long-awaited moment of Beale photo perfection. But here's what's retarded -- snip: Pagel, who joined […]

15 March 2007
Came home to a "nice package" from Tantus! Yeeeaaahhh! These bad boys are hygienic silicone strap-on ready vibrators. This is a beautiful time to be alive, my friends.

sxsw is so the sexy

15 March 2007
Pictured: about to be kicked out of the Ginger Man pub, I drunkenly hopped on these two hot guys on the couch to finish my beer (Eddie Codel and Jonathan Moore). A crowd gathered and I actually heard someone say, indicating us in our fleshpile, "Does anyone have a camera?" […]

google adwords, trannies and dykes, oh my

15 March 2007
This week's column in Teh Chonic is Don't Be Evil (Or A Dyke, Or Trans): Google's AdWords confuses transgender terms with teen porn. We've all laughed (or shrieked) at the mis-matching of Google AdWords to search terms, or emails in Gmail -- but in this case, sex-positive trans porn company […]

sxsw 2007 schwag bag-a-palooza

11 March 2007
Here's the video. I uploaded more photos here. It's pouring down rain right now here in Austin, with the most beautiful thunder and lightning show I've witnessed in ages. We don't really get thunder and lightning very often in SF -- maybe once a year, if that. Interestingly, it's usually around […]

arrived, slightly damaged

9 March 2007
I made it to lovely Austin, yay! But I almost drove icepicks into my ears with rolled-up Sky Mall's on the plane from SF listening to the endlessly namedropping mommybloggers seated (embedded/screechingly monetizingly festeringly) two rows behind me. Almost didn't make it here alive, dear readers... seriously, they were all […]

readying for sxsw

9 March 2007
Meaning, I'm finally packed and soothing my nervousness and stress with cocktails and relationship chat. I was deeply hurt by a lover today -- and am heading into tricky lover/evil ex-lover territory at SXSW (toxic boy will be there, yuck). So Jonathan Moore and I have been in my kitchen […]

lustlab ad of the week art by ellen forney

8 March 2007
Finally -- Brad the way I've always wanted him... Seattle's The Stranger ("Seattle's only newspaper") is one of my favorite free weeklies, most especially because it's home to Dan Savage, the HUMP! porn festival, and their awesome Lovelab and Lustlabs. Their whipsmart, kinky sex-positive personals Lustlabs rock -- and I […]

8 March 2007
In this week's Chron column, I get up close and personal with human-animal fetishists and their local outings, such as a "foxhunt" at a Nor Cal ranch and a "dog and pony" show here in town. Snip from Whoa, Nelly!: For some people, life is a veritable dog and pony show; […]

a moment of quiet

6 March 2007
A few hours ago I cracked a filling and had the pieces come out in my hand. We've all had the dream -- when it happened I stared into my hand in disbelief and felt like the air was liquid, that 'am I dreaming' feeling. Tomorrow am I see a […]
