Photos from last night
Party photos by Jason DeFillippo and after-party giantess photos by Hornboy. When I got cornered by naked drunk guy, I was all like, Jason — get the camera! More photos after the jump!
Whatever happened to Taschen?
It’s been about a year since I stopped reviewing sex books and videos for Good Vibes, but I was there long enough to watch the world of sex and art coffee table books go through a revolution. And Taschen, publisher of all kinds of those glossy, tasteful and gorgeous books, was one of the biggest…
Off the record
Subject: burn the NYT clown “Violet – the largely-fictional NYT needs no protection. It’s coasted on an undeserved reputation for far too long. Print his e-mail.

Tantus loves me
This I know. Because my butt plug tells me so. Sing along with me, people! There was a huge box on my doorstep today; a giant gift from Tantus Silicone.
