Video: They Canceled The Exotic Erotic Ball
Friend BC just sent me this video of exactly what it was like when would-be revelers/ticketholders found out the Exotic Erotic Ball was canceled this year (it was canceled last Friday, one day before the event). It was also amusing to watch all the EE tickets hit Craigslist Bay Area when the news broke…
Found: Videos
You don’t actually need to *watch* the weather video. (At then end is an annoying ad anyway.) Just marvel that it’s not a joke. (via dlisted) Then, I feel obligated to show you the Die Antwoord video below, mostly because it’s making the blogrounds. It’s sex-driven, homoerotic *and* homophobic (lucky us), so you are warned…
RIP Bob Guccione: Scenes From Penthouse Adriatic Club: Then, and Now
Penthouse founder Bob Guccione died yesterday (technically still today for me). It felt strange to read about it in the news right after it hit the internet’s news sites, mostly because I thought about it as a pretty symbolic event.

Or imagine. I found out it’s being broadcast live via the Upper Floor main page and is detailed here, so if you want to see what the…

I’m just a San Francisco girl having a really difficult time getting past the crunchy hipster outer shell and into the well-done retro softcore. I am watching the…
Banned Books Week 2010: Still Time to Celebrate
View Book Bans and Challenges, 2007-2010 in a larger map Some people want to burn books that contain, represent or express ideas they hate; in America, a number of people (the same ones, most likely) try very hard every year to have certain books banned. They want them removed from American libraries, schools, anywhere they…
San Francisco: The Real “Smut Capital” of America
Is SF really the actual historical smut epicenter of America? This is going to be a fascinating film, and I can’t wait to see it — I hope they get the fundraising they need! I’m excited to be mentioned in it, but more excited to see John Waters chiming in, and that it’s directed by…
October’s SanFranSexy Magazine Is Hot Off The Digital Press
The brand new October issue of SanFranSexy is “Shame is Lame” (yes!) and features a column that Maxim ought to look up to: Professor Dandy’s Manchat helps guys embrace their “Gentleman Pervert” without being a doosh-baguette, and much more. It’s a free .pdf found here, and in print around the Bay Area’s finer naughty establishments.…
