Last year my pals in Seattle at The Stranger came up with a great idea: an amateur indy porn film fest and competition, called HUMP! I was invited to go but couldn’t make it — which was probably good because it turned out to be a sold-out event. They’re now taking submissions for this year’s…

Thomas Roche is a beeeyyayayayayatch
I think Thomas beat me at fight club this month. Today I edited five chapters line by line (because an editor *mangled* my manuscript and inserted crazy-wrong pronoun chaos and sex-negative judgements into the text) and just finished a 4K word chapter. And I lost a week, last week, obviously. But Thomas. He’s a beeeyyayayayayatch.…
Developing Indian obscenity case
I’m fascinated with the way obscenity is monitored in other cultures, most especially countries like India, with their huge entertainment industry and (our) outsourced workforce. I’ve often spent fruitless hours trying to find Indian porn for Fleshbot, or Indian women for the times I’ve done Best of Babelogs posts. I seldom find anything credible, free…
The theme is glitter
My world folded in on itself for a bit; thanks for staying with me. Miss Jessi has thrown down the gauntlet: last year we won a kissing contest at Pride and she called me an hour ago, “What are you doing and what are you wearing?” Me: “I’m in my pajamas staring out the window…
To the funeral now
Sunday update: It has been so strange in so many ways. I think the most odd feeling was to meet people she loved and who loved her who I did not know at all, and have them say, “She talked about you a lot.” It was also strange to have a number of people find…
SRL tour on Make
At Vloggercon 06 I met Bre Pettis, and over Vcon party drinks I suggested a tour of SRL while he was in town. He asked if he could film it for Make, and we never allow that — but Mark trusted me, and we did the first-ever video tour of SRL. Read the whole post…
Bjork party crash
Crashed Bjork’s super sekrit DJ night at The Stud (sound alert) tonight with some friends. I’d just planned on seeing friends and some low-key, much-needed go-go dancing — a very cool and surprising night. More pics (and maybe video) to come. Update: Haha, my camera’s video function needs a built-in breathalyzer. But I got a…
Gifts, condolences, love and immortality
I’m stunned. I just got a special delivery gift from Coop and Ruth. A pic of the whole pirate booty is after the jump.
Light reading
Here’s a great quote from my pal Mark‘s column today: “But through it all, there seems to exist this one general rule: If you have that much to hide, if you are living some sort of secret and embarrassing and family-endangering double life, if you are constantly burying images and hiding data or altering your…
MAKE me
I found myself wandering into Radio Smack today looking for something to do with my hands. No one got lucky, but I did decide to combine my need for making something with my urge for depression-fueled retail therapy. Strangely, lipgloss, fetish shoes and new panties just would not do. And no one is around to…
