After we saw the complete misfire of Christina Aguilera’s entry into the bad girl’s club of eroto-pop, Rihanna quietly strikes with an expert shot in skintight rubber, simple and sexy. Hot. More fetish flavored pics from her Birmingham, England show last weekend can be seen here (zomg a camel, zomg LED dress).
* You don’t have to be a fan of Glee to enjoy Kristin Chenoweth ripping Newsweek a new one about their recent article on out gay actors. “This article offends me because I am a human being, a woman and a Christian. (…) No one needs to see a bigoted, factually inaccurate article that tells people who deviate from heterosexual norms that they can’t be open about who they are and still achieve their dreams.” (movieline.com)
* Fascinating: one woman’s ordeal tells a story about the chromosomal variation that reads “male” when a woman presents as “female” in sports… and leaves us guessing about certain Hollywood actresses. “That year the women at the meet had to parade naked in front of a panel of gynecologists. Although none were disqualified, several of the Communist competitors – including Tamara and Inira Press, who between them had won five gold medals and set twenty-six world records from 1959 to 1965 – failed to show up for the test. This convinced people that the sex test was a good idea.” (medhelp.org, via Hacker News)
* One of the best opinion pieces I’ve read in a long time, and it inspires me: What Every Girl Should Know. The 50th anniversary of the birth control pills brings about some upsetting realizations about today’s kids and sex. “Comstock managed to get New York authorities to grant him the powers to both arrest and censor, and he bragged that he sent 4,000 people to jail for helping women understand, and use, birth control. He seemed to take particular pleasure in the fact that 15 of them had committed suicide.” (nytimes.com, thanks williamsrik)
* I loved The Sex Carnival’s post on Rachel Kramer Bussel’s sizzling new erotica anthology Please, Sir. The accompanying photo of Rachel is insanely hot, too. “Finally, he places a moist kiss one each inner wrist before fastening the cuffs around them and chaining his wife to the bed.” (thesexcarnival.com)
