Month: January 2006

Today Jonno made me into his dream woman (see photo). Today I have a horrible headcold, but still had a lovely lunch with Alison Tyler, even after almost getting creamed across three freeway lanes at 60mph by a big old Chevy truck. That cleared my sinuses for a few minutes. Today the third SRL LA…

My photos with Thomas from Friday the 13th are up; you can tell we were just having fun in and around my house, so Thomas could play with his new camera (hence all the different light values). Sorry, no boobies this time… And we talked muchly about the writer scandals, like the SF Weekly fake…

I’m extremely excited to be included in the first set of “What are you working on?” interviews on Mark Pritchard’s Too Beautiful blog. Now I have to go get ready: my friend Thomas is coming over with his camera. (I’ll post the results later.) I can’t wait to talk with Thomas about the newest fake…

New podcast — but only you can decide if energy drinks and podcasting and super-hot talk about getitng tied up and fucked are a lethal combination… or not. Text: Tie me up? How about bondage and kink for the rest of us…! You don’t need to know complicated knots or BDSM lingo to have a…

If I was a smoker, I’d have a cigarette right now. Macworld was exciting: I saw the new 1″ PowerMacPro laptops, the uber-fast iMacs (both with built-in iSight). But aside from all the glitz, bling, booths that wouldn’t let me take photos, pseudo-booth–babes, cars that let you watch your iPod video in the headrest monitors…

…Macworld! Besides the frustrations of iTunes’ automations, my friends at Apple sent me an exhibit hall pass. (And I see I’m now listed as an “auhtor” in iTunes, yay!) So I’m off to see what’s new, say hi, and take photos — and get a bag full of free convention crap, because you know how…

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,…

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…
