At SFist today, where I’m a columnist, there has been a lot of activity about the whole JT LeRoy unmasking thing. (Read all the comments.) I found out today when I read the Gawker post over my morning coffee, but then several people forwarded me Susie Bright’s extremely revealing post about beiung duped and used,…
New erotica by N.T. Morley
I’ve been working with widely published dominance and submission author N.T. Morley for many years now, notably publishing his work in my Sweet Life: Erotic for Couples series and reading a few stories on Open Source Sex. We’re good friends (he gave me a DVD of Secretary of my birthday a few years back), and…
Rosie, we love you!
Coop sent me this *totally amazing* image of a color slide from the Library of Congress Online Exhibition “Bound for Glory: America in Color 1939-1943“. Caption: Alfred T. Palmer Woman is working on a “Vengeance” dive bomber Tennessee, February 1943 Reproduction from color slide Coop: “Check out that red nail polish!”
Don’t hurt the pussy
You know, it’s been a busy week. But I just found a pocket of mental relief (about to be followed up with a tasty alcoholic beverage). You see, last weekend I read that damn awful New York Times Magazine article about vaginal reconstruction surgery. And I had the usual reactions; sadness, at the shame driving…
My Fleshbot Uniform
As a few readers of both my blog and Fleshbot might have noticed, a couple of my bits were surreptitiously featured over New Year’s weekend on a certain Gawker Media site. There’s a very long backstory involving an excitable editor, my digital camera and a few hasty moments in my bathroom… and my new work…
Interviewing Mr. Thrillhammer
The third installment of my Geek Entertainment TV interviews is up and running: here, I’ve taken the mic and subjected Allen Stein, creator of The Thrillhammer to a short but brutal interview (his machine was the one I ran for my teledildonics lecture and demonstration for Dorkbot). Teledildonicist Allen Stein nails it with his Thrillhammer…
From Iraq, with love
Even though — once again — I’m *not* in the iTunes directory, I’m getting amazing email from firemen in the Carolinas, listeners in Mauritius, parole officers in Virginia, sassy women in Quebec, couples in Germany, and soldiers in Iraq. Now I understand why my stats are all screwed up — I think iTunes has been…
Monday flooding
Referring to my inbox, and San Francisco (not to mention Napa and every town near a Northern California river right now). It’s *still* raining. Trees falling on cars by my house; my back fence came down during the night. It rained all day yesterday, too, but that was fine because I was hung over and…
MIA from iTunes
I’m getting a lot of emails like this tonight: “Hi Violet, I really enjoyed your “quickie” and when I saw you also had OSS26 I went to itunes but could not find it there. (…) I tried to search on “sex” and “open source” in the itunes podcasts but could not find ANY of your…

Wait — I’m not naked. Not yet anyway. But listen, and get inspired before the ball drops! text: Last quickie of 2005! A special story just for tonight: “Naked New Year” by Dante Davidson — including hot public sex in the cool night air, delicious oral sex and an unusual spanking technique. Happy New Year…
