This video is called “What Will You Fight For?” as a viral promo for the game Tekken 6 (whatwillyoufightfor.com): it’s the second viral in the video series. The first viral vid they made is not as sexycool at the one I’m featuring above, but it’s still visually pleasing.

AMC’s dramatic series Mad Men is now in its third season here in the US, and despite my usual reluctance to dig the popular stuff without a critical eye, I’m definitely hooked. Tight writing, a clever and calculated balance of character- and narrative-driven storytelling, style/costuming/design choices that tell stories within the overt stories (and about…

Never been the kind of girl to go camping — love my dry clean only clothes, and does my hair ever look like it wants to “rough it” (in the wilderness, you dirty birds)? No. (It does look fabulous when fresh out of my motorcycle helmet, however.) Anyway, sweet sweet reader A alerts me to…

Image: cover for Kessler’s new/upcoming book Nylon Girls (available now in the UK). Being on the Femina Potens newsletter is well worth it; I’m still an ardent fan of talk lists as news sources and newsletters for orgs and certain people who do cool non-spammy stuff. (However, I get added nonconsensually to email lists all…

I love the intersections of fetish and fashion. It’s one of my regular lectures, in fact so clearly I’m not immune. Above is a “hat” from London’s fashion week (gallery, guardian.co.uk). And from Fashion Time, Claudia Schiffer in Vogue Germany October 2009 is a shoot that has, of all things, a strangely sexy choking scenario.…

Bullet actually looks okay, but not like this. This I would call ‘auto-erotic discharge.’ Every season I look forward to Agent Provocateur‘s new lineup of dirty sexy (or sweet) lingerie, and then I steal their photos and tell you all about it, and mop the drool off my keyboard and sigh wistfully over tiny lacy…

Image via noticiasrdya. I really like Carmen Electra. I think she’s cool. Are you surprised? Well, she may be a trope and seem like an assembly line model from the Hollywood “sexy” factory. But after I saw her in “Scary Movie” where she parodies herself and the serial killer stabs her but she’s (temporarily) saved…

Click image for large size. While the above image is the steamiest one in the shoot, I think all of the photos of Rihanna draped in extreme couture in Vogue Italy September 2009 are hot enough to bring on a summer storm. Someone hand me an um-ba-rella-ella-ella…

I’m sitting here debating what sex act(s) Lady GaGa is simulating in her new wanna-be fetish/Goth photo shoot (thesun.co.uk/bizarre/usa, the pic above, specifically). Anyone? It’s subtle. Well, as subtle as Lady GaGa hirself…

I am thrilled to report that the fashion forecast for Fall according to Vogue Italy and Vogue Nippon (via Fashion Time) is easy on the fashion and really barely half dressed for the season, if at all. Above is Edita Vilkeviciute in Vogue Nippon September 2009 showing us the must-have, um, bracelet; below is Eniko…
