I was astonished when ZDNet colleague and SEO expert Stephen Chapman sent me a tip about Yahoo!’s new product, Clues, with the message that it seemed to be filtering out certain terms. In a few minutes of entering terms, I saw something very upsetting. Clues was supposed to be like a richer Google Trends, and…

Going Commando on the TSA: Girl Strips Naked in Security and Records It, Info for True Scotsmen
Above is a video of a woman who, one day ago got on an international flight from Sea-Tac (Seattle) to Sri Lanka. She is an exhibitionist and an activist. She is still in transit, but before she got on her plane, she stripped down to transparent lingerie and recorded her volatile journey through TSA security.…
Erotica Vs. Street Art in London: Suelan Photography
This would have been the show to see in London — I’m very irritated that I missed the chance to tell you about it in October, because photographer Suelan is really amazing. I found her on a random Flickr erotica hunt, the combination of eros, photos and street art drew me like a rare Earth…
Seal It With A Kiss – In Russian Hardcover; Plus First Chapter Free (In English!)
I just posted this gallery of Seal It With A Kiss in Russian on Daily Violet but I’m so excited about my first hardcover and first Russian translation that I can’t resist sharing it here, too. This is a really big thrill for me! Also, I noticed that Amazon has the first chapter for free,…
TSA = No. NMA = Yes.
I, for one, bow to our Hitachi-wielding overlords. I read today that Congress and various administration get to skip security when they fly commercial at the airport — the same rat bastards who pass the TSA scanner and pat down laws. Inmates running the asylum, indeed. I want safety as much as the next girl…
So Gorgeous: Photos by Logan White
Lush, opulent, eerie — sexy: that’s how I’m going to describe Los Angeles based Logan White‘s stunning erotic photography. If her gorgeous, dreamy images don’t turn your head… Then do take a minute to appreciate that this is a one-woman enterprise, and I’ve been talking to a friend of hers, someone I consider an expert…
Ellen Stagg’s 2011 Мишка Calendar
The Мишка Calendar by photographer Ellen Stagg is a huge street culture/cult phenomenon, and this year’s edition promises to live up to its reputation. The above video teaser is great, and there is a release party this friday from 7-10Pm at Мишка (350 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY). The calendar has Stagg’s trademark superb nasty pinup photography,…
Wednesday Nibbles: Sex and the TSA, Porn in a Cup
* TSA, TSA, TSA. What a big fucking disaster. Just when we think it’s really bad, it somehow gets worse. A few days ago I posted Two Tales of TSA Sexual Assault on Techyum, where two individual sane and travel-savvy women blogged about getting the new pat-down and walked away sexually traumatized. One was a…
Jezebel’s “Creepy and Porno-Like” Is Actually My Hot [Suit Supply Ads]
I was sent the post The Cool Factor and The Display of Disinterest (thanks Praemedia), and instantly found the fetishy, modern, dominance/submission themed fashion porn from Suit Supply’s new ad campaign really hot. Then I clicked through to Jezebel’s post about the ad campaign two weeks ago (hey, I’ve been busy). I discovered there, that…
Sex Ed In America And Social Media Harm Reduction: For The Love Of Scarleteen
After weeks of scheduling, I finally met with documentarians for Sex In America this afternoon, a six-part series on sex around the world. I was being interviewed for their American segment. Most of their questions were about sex education in these United States, and as it happens when you explain these things as if from…
