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…
Behind Kink and spanking Morality in Media in the Chronicle
This week’s Chronicle column is a doozy, on many fronts. In Porn: It’s Not Just for Breakfast I spend an average monday shadowing the Behind Kink documentary film crews at local BDSM/kinky porn online mega-empire Kink.com; then I visit Good Vibrations for some very weird vibrations about their fear of the word ‘porn’.

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.
J’adore
Xeni Jardin, Jonathan Moore, Haight and Masonic this afternoon. It looks like they’re plotting something — they are. I love this photo. Our conversation ranged from dating to cryptography, and far beyond. What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. My other favorite photo is after the jump.
