Image via my new Flickr crush, santacroceisabella. I just wrote a nearly 3000-word intro to Best Women’s Erotica 2008, got all the author and editor bios together, and turned them in. Phew! Now, would someone take pictures of me like this one? So hot.

Holly Hunter’s new project: Saving Grace
Being a huge Holly Hunter fan, this series seems like a dream come true for me: sex, crime, a complex femme heroine — sort of makes me wish I had cable again. Or time to watch it. Snip: Compared to the neurotics, moms, and ingenues that Holly Hunter is best known for playing, her character…
A nice party pic
From a party I went to last weekend. This is actually when I interrupted something interesting in the hall, and they let me take this photo before leaning over and shutting the door.

The Geek Squad is truly, truly evil
You’d think they’d know better after three months ago, a 22-year-old woman and her mother sued Best Buy and its “Geek Squad” computer repair team for dispatching a technician who filmed the daughter taking a shower (using his cell phone).

In the same way as driving by a car crash and slowing down, peering into the stories Fox News exploited…

Fun with Dacia!

Nebraska considered harmful
If you work for a state program in Nebraska, you can’t use the word “sex” or “sexual” in any of your public media. The state government of Nebraska hasn’t outright stated that they’re “doing it for the children” but what they’re doing right now is certainly destroying the children (and poor) by withholding sex information.…
Waiting for Audacia
Sounds like a romance title, but maybe for a cupcake and panty romance. She’ll be at my house in an hour; while I wait and print author contracts for Best Women’s Erotica 2008 (nice cover, Cleis), dig the Vixen’s recent interview on Bookslut: “Alt porn” is hot right now. Violet Blue just gave her adult…
