new stuff for the buycurious

26 September 2006
I can't sit still, ever, so I added a few cool new things to the Tiny Nibbles store! Check out the BLF-inspired NSFW zip front hoodies, all in pink or black -- bold NSFW women's; pocket (nsfw) women's; pocket (nsfw) men's. I also made little logo buttons (so cute), and […]

of spammers and shitty domain hosts

Jonno wrote me, >> where are you, o Violet Blue? >> i miss you for my love is true. It's good to be back. On sunday afternoon, right when I was wrapping up the podcast I did with Boing Boing (!), I noticed something weird happening in my inbox -- and it was […]

I am NSFW

22 September 2006
I didn't write that nametag, and it was fun to wear at a party last night. The reaction to my roller-coaster-ride Chronicle column launch is astounding. First, they finally gave me an RSS feed for it. Hope this can help readers who don't use adware blocks to avoid the annoyingly […]

With Love, The BLF: My Face On Billboards And Bus Shelters As SF’s Sex Columnist

21 September 2006
I almost wrecked my motorcycle when I saw this -- at the corner of Mission and Fifth, in direct sight of the Chronicle building! It's telling people to read my column! I found out about it from someone at the Chron, who emailed me a few hours ago saying: > There's […]

21 September 2006
Someone really did put my pictures in bus shelters around San Francisco. Holy holy holy shit. Another, different friend sent this in. These images are from my website. I've been pranked in the most incredible way! Eeeeeek! I'm hyperventilating. And afraid to go outside!

open source sex :: the column!

21 September 2006
My Chron column is *now live* on SFGate, yayayayay!!!! It looks ultra-fabulous OMGWTFBBQ!!! This is amazing! Even if this is the only one ever, it is a huge step for sex-positivity, old and new media, San Francisco sex culture (and SF notoriety in general) and accurate sex information -- not […]

sitewide updates, phew!

20 September 2006
I've been mulling over a whole bunch of changes to this site for a few days -- actually I've been depressed, with a few high points, you know, it's my birthday soon and birthdays have a way of being really great and sucking all at once. Like having my server […]

out out out

15 September 2006
I've been sick and overworked this week. I'm going out! Update: So... about last night. Extra Action snuck me into a $125 per-person Friends of the Earth benefit at Broadway Studios in North Beach, and madness/inebriation ensued. I was calling it the "Friends of Ben Franklin benefit", and it was packed […]

the confirmation number of the beast

13 September 2006
I just registered to attend the Podcast and Portable Media Expo at the end of the month. It looks like The Learning Annex Donald Trump Real Estate Wealth Expo, but for podcasting. But, like, omigawd, all my friends are going! Well, okay, all my friends I never met in person. […]

HUMP! wrap and the state of amateur porn (or why I need hazard pay)

13 September 2006
I caught the Friday night 8pm showing of HUMP! 2, Seattle's annual amateur porn festival and competition, and I may never be the same. The Stranger's blog has the results and great comments on the videos; I wish I could have stayed for the afterparty. I would have totally humped […]

bandwidth slave

11 September 2006
It's not as sexy as it sounds. I'm just sitting here up-and-downloading my podcast for iTunes today so I'm in a weird bandwidth suckhole (again, it only *sounds* hot in pixels) where I have to stay at the computer but can't actually *do* anything. I have a big HUMP! and […]

the seattle craigslist sex scandal

10 September 2006
Last Monday Seattle resident Jason Fortuny (and a friend) carried out a thought experiment into reality -- one I think anyone who has surfed Craigslist sex ads has entertained. He took a hardcore Women Seeking Men ad from another city and reposted it to see how many replies he could […]

8 September 2006
As I've described previously in this article, this podcast lecture and as it was all Boinged last March, mass-made sex toys contain toxins. But now someone's doing something about it, read Sex Toys Contain Toxins. Snip: "The Hague - Environmental group Greenpeace called on Friday on the European Union to ban […]
