Unless it’s Halloween, of course. Halloween officially began in San Francisco last night, so I’ll be celebrating it here on the blog through tuesday! Indulge in a cold, compelling slice of morbidity by checking out this dead porn star chart, which helpfully arranges the deaths of known porn stars by name, date, time, death method…

Off to the GV film fest
I’m about to leave for the Good Vibes amateur “erotic” film fest. When I went to the GV offices on monday for the screening it was the first time I’d been in that building since I literally threw my key at the marketing manager, tossed my desk belongings into a box, and walked out. I’d…

At Kink.com with Xeni
We had fun in kink.com‘s “jail set”. She snapped great cameraphone pics, seen here. The set from my camera is here, another couple favorites after the jump.
