* Bombshell Betty comments on the Ugly Violet (trolls and female sexual self-image) column I wrote, and takes the discussion ever further with more sage advice in body love/hate — and don’t miss her excellent post How to look confident when you’re shaking in your boots. That post is like a one-a-day vitamin for me lately…
* Octopus sex! Get your saltwater safewords ready — NPR has the tentacle porn this week. (also @ FB)
* Speaking of Fleshbot references — look what we found this week: is Criss Strokes “gay for pay” or “straight for pay” or just… for pay!? The last photo is like a Go Fug Yourself scrolldown.
* Someone in New York is hiring for a sex columnist — here’s the Craigslist post (via). It sounds fun, though styled a lot like Tristan Taormino’s old Adventure Girl columns, started in 1999… I wonder, does that sex column format still interest people? I guess we’ll see…
* Last night I had the sublime pleasure of spending an evening with the charming and sweet Gary Vaynerchuk (among other delightful people). So when I saw this news item, Sexuality can be determined by wine choice (“An Italian winemaker and philosopher has created three wines he claims can help a person identify his or her true sexuality or ambiguity.”) I immediately wanted a bottle of each, just to taste for myself… Not sex-related: Gary’s interesting take on hip-hop and web celebrity (video). It gets interesting at the end; I listen to hip-hop almost daily right now, so I agree and disagree with him, though he’s got a great point and I think it’s going to take less time than he predicts — it’s happening to me right now.
* More tech — and sex, of course: check out PicLens, a plugin for IE, FireFox and Safari that allows 3-D viewing of galleries. I’m not sure if it is open source but it’s free, and the savvy sexcats over at Kink.com just activated it on all their galleries (for members/subscribers — I asked if it was on freebees and hosted galleries, but not yet). I wonder, if you combine it with porn tumbollages (a Tumblr collage script), do you bend space and time into a doorway to another porn dimension? Sounds dangerous to me. Maybe I should have some wine first.
Thanks for the piclens mention. I was the one who found out about it from a friend and then implemented it on the site. =)
God Bless You for keeping track of all this candy.
So I was poking around in that PicLens thingy, and I spotted this beauty: http://www.flickr.com/photos/clevercupcakes/2185090589/
..of course I had to actually close out of the window and manually look it up on the proper Flickr site. But clicking on it brings up the whole photostream in Piclens.. multiple angles, full-screen.. fecking delicious :P
“I’m not sure if it is open source but it’s free”
How could it be free and not have open source!? Stallman would kill you! ;P
