When I was on the plane home last night I was reading Marc Ecko’s Complex Magazine and came across the Complex photo set with Alison Brie, who I couldn’t immediately place as Mad Men character Trudy Campbell. When I got back online, I was floored that this was dowdy Trudy so I had to share.…

Did anyone else think the Olympics were dirtier than usual?
I’ve had these in my tabs for a bit and just can’t let them go to waste… Plus I get to say, ‘and now for something completely different.’ Above we have a lovely image from Bestweekever.tv’s gallery of The 40 Most Sexual Photos From The Olympics, which we’re all glad someone else took the time…
Topless sledding in Germany warms the…
Right or wrong, I knew that once I saw the censored gallery on HuffPo of the second annual German topless sledding event, that if I waited a minute many uncensored photos would surface and I could give you the chilly nekkid Olympian-esque post that you deserve.

The “B” stands for bisexual
Image by Yellow Bird. Right before I fell asleep last night I read this fantastic mini-essay on bisexuality, Bisexuals: putting the B back in LGBT.

New Pink Button’s Genital Cosmetic Colorant
For once, I bow to the nice men at Details and let them say it all. I am too busy protectively covering my own Pink Button to be able to react right now in any way other than snarling and slashing at anyone who attempts to approach Button with a “Ginger-licious!” dye applicator. Snip from…

Image by Chad Michael Ward. Okay, I have to point you at this post over at branding/name blog (geeks!) CatchThis (browser resize warning) The X-Rated Valentine’s List: Catchword’s Best/Worst Adult Toy Store Names (catchwordbranding.com). It’s pretty entertaining, even if I see friends’ company names on it in not-so-flattering ways. I mean Stockroom! I love you!…
Not up for speed dating? Try speed hating
Image by Ellen von Unwerth via superwrong. Valentine’s Day approaches with cruel speed for some of us, creeps up too slowly for others, or if you’re the part of me facing my inbox clogged with cheesy useless press releases, it is a long walk to the weekend comprised of eye-rolling dread. I’m about to start…

It’s a compelling, well researched article. Here’s a snip from the start: What the hell is vaginal rejuvenation? Who would want their vagina bleached? Here’s a list of the…
Porn stars in love: “Off The Set” with Paulie and Pauline
Jesse Jane, who is both adorable and super-sweet. In yesterday’s San Francisco Chronicle column, I was excited to feature and interview NYC-based, erotic photographic couple Paulie and Pauline about their upcoming book “Off The Set“. It’s such a cool book, and it features a diverse group of porn performers showing us what it looks like…
