Images of Katie West courtesy of Katie West (thank you!) It’s time I introduced you to one of the more consistently delightful contacts via my Flickr account: Katie West. She’s somewhat recently gone through the mill with Flickr’s yet-to-be clearly defined content rating system, and her whole account has been forcibly made “moderate” after three…

Living online
Image of Vivian De Milo by Psychedelic*Panda, whose Flickr account is sadly censored to non-members but whose photographer profile lives here. Being a woman who documents her life here is a source of power. Don’t ever let anyone make you think otherwise. I’m finding that some of my closest female friends as of late are…
Cinemacowgirl’s pretty girl Friday
Image by Lauren Bentley. I know you love it when I get tired of the same old boring gallery fodder and frolic outside the pretty girl friday corral. That’s why I think you’ll love the work of CinemaCowgirl — Lauren Bentley. Her website is a lush blast of great photos and gorgeous girls; her Flickr…
Why Ariel Waldman’s Twitter harassment is a serious call to social networking sites about stalkers
Ariel under the mistletoe, my house NYE 2008; photo by our friend Scott Beale / Laughing Squid. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly urge you to read Ariel Waldman’s incredibly brave (and chilling) post, Twitter refuses to uphold Terms of Service. It’s being posted everywhere from Vivane’s Sex Carnival to making feature fodder…
A minute of keeping up with the Lara Jade story
It was almost exactly a year ago when I wrote for the Chronicle about Lara Jade, whose image had been used without her permission for a porn boxcover — and all the twisted, fucked up turns the story took. When I wrote the piece I actually got the guy from TVX films on the phone…
Nude in SF strikes again!
Cute Marie buying and eating ice cream in the nude at Haight and Ashbury! Lots of fun new teasers up at our local nudie cutie site, plus some nicely done Google maps so you can see exactly where each picture was taken (here‘s Marie’s Haight jaunt). So simple, so sweet, so fun! They’ve asked if…
The refined sex work clients of San Francisco
Image by Pedro Meyer via the things i see. In this week’s SF Chronicle column I ask some of our lovely, articulate local sex workers about the sex work market here in the Bay Area — specifically about their clients. What typifies a San Francisco “John”? Turns out, our local sex work clients are really…

Bombshell Betty’s new book is here!
Image: Bombshell Betty and Bunny Pistol in this terrific burlesque set by popgoesamanda. I’m so excited! I can’t wait to get my rouge-stained paws on a copy of Bombshell Betty’s new book “Pinup Modeling Workshop In A Book: ‘Plain Jane to Pinup Queen’”. For several years now, local burlesque goddess Betty has been teaching scores…
Sex educator Ducky Doolittle
Current TV has a great profile recently up about my friend and sex ed colleague Ducky Doolittle. (Too bad they don’t link to her site.) I’ve known Ducky for several years now and I’ve even crashed one of her fabulous workshops; she’s a hardworking East Coast educator and has a fantastic, comprehensive sex information book…
