Kink in July: Kink Live Visitor’s Gallery
It had been a while since I’d visited Kink‘s armory, and last night I got to watch a shoot for Kink Live and check out some of their new sets. It was great fun, a warm and friendly vibe and I have to say that their new sets are mind-blowingly cool. Also, their VP of…
Summertime Sexy: Hilo Chen’s Ultra-Realistic Paintings
Sent from a friend: Hyper Realistic Paintings – Hilo Chen (ufunk.net). Hot, sweaty, sexy, lots of biknis and beach scenes by Hilo Chen, all in vivid oil on canvas. Glorious! (Also: I spotted one with the Twin Towers in the background; always such a weird feeling.)
The Periodic Table of Swearing
Sadly, The Periodic Table of Swearing by Modern Toss is currently out of stock. It was also extremely expensive. Still, the very British-flavored periodic table of verbal obscenities and graphic insults is really entertaining (click to view large size for detail, link via The Awesomer). I’m definitely going to start using these on Twitter when…
Femina Potens Beauty: July’s “Thin Line Between Art and Sex”
Femina Potens might just be one of the most happening and significant art spaces in the United States. Seriously.

This is a personal post, so if you’re not here for a long-winded LiveJournal moment, skip it and get back to the frolic.
Open Source Sex Advice (on Facebook)
I’m not a sex advice columnist, nor do I particularly want to be one, but I thought it would be fun to answer a sex question once a week on my Facebook page. I have over a decade of training and do hotline sex crisis counseling now and then, and also teach: I might as…
Straight for Pay
When three things on the same topic collide in my life and online, it’s time for a post: this is about men who are Straight for Pay. It started with explaining to a Brit friend what BangBus is. With humor for something patently offensive and ridiculously fake, I explained BangBus thusly: it’s a half-baked, dated…
Jean-Paul Gaultier and Dita Von Teese Runway PFW Haute Couture F/W 2011
Today in Paris Dita Von Teese got tight-laced and took to the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection for the highlight of Paris Fashion Week. Teese stripped down to an eye-popping rhinestone-encrusted exoskeleton that cinched to a micro-waisted corset. Amazing. The whole gallery of Getty Images from today’s spectacle are here. (zimbio.com)
