I’m sitting in the airport waiting for a delayed plane, and finally able to catch back up to the blog. I’ve been uploading Flickr pics like crazy, despite the glacial (and filtered) connection speed at the Roosevelt, where a friend managed to get me a decent room for cheap — even though it was a…

So fitting since I’m sitting here waiting for an airport shuttle — my Dethroner: What’s In Your Overnight Bag interview is up! Flatteringly, Joel Johnson writes, “What intro could contain Violet Blue? Author, blogger, podcaster, general fuckin’-shit-upper, Violet also happens to have a column at the San Francisco Chronicle called ‘Open Source Sex.’ You’d best…

“Removing the fig leaf: Barbican’s scholarly sex show, for over-18s only: Exhibition to chart 2,000 years of explicit depiction – from Pompeii to Warhol” Snip: “A fresco from an ancient Roman brothel, showing couples voluptuously entwined.

Love the hanging accusation that patrons…

rant: Looks like porn industry magazine, mouthpiece and organizer of the porn awards show (you know, the people who tell the media that porn makes five gazillion dollars a year) AVN has a little problem with crediting information sources online — much like their mainstream media counterparts, hmmm.
