6 February 2007
Colorado Springs' Rev. Ted Haggard (he of the Greek-flavored hookers and alleged biker speed parties and well-lubed, where's-my-manhole-cover denials) has been "pronounced 'Completely Heterosexual'". Update: A sends me this hilarious video showing the explanation for Haggard's homosexuality cure. Also, a number of readers have emailed me about this item in outrage […]

2 February 2007
Six Inch Snails is a website you'll want to investigate a tiny bit, though they need some site design help; definitely watch their flix (I enjoyed "showgirl"). The nasty trailer for their Austrian film Viennese makes me realize I need to go back to Vienna. And the discovery of Skin […]

I've long, long been a fan of Maria Beatty's amazing erotic, mostly lesbian, BDSM gothic films -- they've been awarded in film fests around the globe, too. I especially love (and wish I owned) The Black Glove and Ladies of the Night: Les Vampyres; I really want to see Ecstasy […]
