To read my column, remove one item of clothing
Image of Nicole @ 4am at local 24-hour grease pit Sparky’s by Merkley??? This is how we all look when we end up there at 4am. And eventually, we all do. It’s cold, we just had a million days of freezing rain, everyone’s depressed and breaking up, and it’s dark and I’m trying to be…

(image via the stunning, delicious galleries of Sebastian Solo (via); this hardcore image was my second choice) This week’s Chron column is a day late (for obvious reasons) but it’s got some razor-sharp teeth — mostly taking the local rag SF Weekly to task for tarring BDSM with an ugly brush (right before Folsom, with…
