Snip from Shopping For Sex At The Supermarket: Marina Safeway: Hot or not?: In the Market Street Safeway, the cucumbers are really big. I don’t know if that’s because they’re genetically modified with elephant cells or if that’s because it’s the Safeway closest to the Castro. I’m guessing it’s a bit of both. I was…

Celebrity boobs are *so* out to get you
David just emailed me The Celebrity Breast Conspiracy over at (friends) 10 Zen Monkeys, where they try to convince us that there’s a real celebri-boob media conspiracy that makes a whole huge post about celebrity boobies somehow super-justified. Like we care about such petty legitimacy concerns at Fleshbot. Tinfoil bra, anyone? “Public diplomacy” in Hollywood…
Oh, Colbert
It’s his Wikiality: The Truthiness Encyclopedia (fyi, the HTML is a little rough around the edges). The best part so far is the Pastafarian entry, with it’s creepily-accurate-funny cults sidebar (via Sean’s cap on Flickr). Snip: Pastafarianism, the more common name for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, is a religion whose followers, which…
A tour of Madame and Mr. S Fetish Store and Factory
For this week’s column, I had the absolute pleasure of getting a grand tour of local fetish and BDSM retailer (and 30+ year institution) Madame S and Mr. S Leathers. (Craziest toy: the human box/vacuum cube.) A few weeks ago I was at Kink.com‘s happy hour and was introduced to Paige White, a respected and…
Catching up on catching up: Last week’s column
I briefly posted about my column last week, but never got a chance to talk about it, share reader mail, and I also wanted to share the really malicious email I got, which I feel compelled to because I don’t think women should be quiet about, or afraid of, these things. Yes, the email was…
A tourist in a trans bar, and more
This week’s column is about going to a Tenderloin dive trans bar with Hacker Boy, my adopted mother Theresa Sparks, and adopted aunt Cecilia Chung. It was sooo much fun! But as I expected, I got some really evil mail about this one — I’ve noticed that if there’s one thing that brings in the…
Hammer Horror emerges from the crypt
Back when I was a budding porn nerd, I spent much of my time wishing I was a lesbian vampire in old Hammer Horror films — because they ate the good guys, fucked the bad guys and deflowered nubile, big-boobed villagers by the dozens (or bathed in their blood if they didn’t give any sugar…
Lesbians, fundies, libraries, oh my
This week’s column in the Chron is No (Lesbian) Sex In The Stacks, including a funny interview with Felice Newman. There is much mail on this, about christianity, lesbianism and sex books in public libraries — I’ve included all of it, positive and negative, after the jump. That said, I want to mention two things…
Abstinence does *not* make the heart grow fonder
I have been struggling with these words for a while. In my head, I know there’s a phraseology that should be simple, wrap it all up like a neat little package, festooned with chastisement and guilt and semen and blind thrusts. It is an obsession, mine, to name their obsession. Last week Massachusetts joined six…
