Women in Porn: The Dude Edition.

July 31st, 2008 · 2 Comments

There are a few different ways to roll as a male porno star- especially when it comes to on-set behavior. You know what it all reminds me of? High school. I’ve witnessed some key examples: 
1) The Jokester- The guy that’s always “on”, a real actor-type who appears to be trying too hard to impress the [...]

Self Lovin’: Nail Zen

July 30th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Ah… painting my nails- one of my favorite ways to completely zen out. When I’ve had a long day, am anxious or need to do something completely mindless to focus on for 15 minutes- that’s what I do. 
Now, I have to confess, two of my closest friends did have an intervention with me about this [...]

Gender Equality, or Sweeping Generalizations?

July 30th, 2008 · No Comments

Just got through reading this article over at The Frisky, In Defense of Gender Stereotypes. It makes the point that as we as a society strive for gender equality, we’re finding an unhappy medium in which we’re adapting each other’s worst traits, when in fact there are some legitimate differences between men and women [...]

The Chubby Life: “Life’s Pleasures”

July 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I’ve been falling out of love with The Huffington Post for months now. There are a lot of reasons, but I recently found a doozy: the fact that they publish “experts” like Karen Salmansohn, and her “Winning Weight Loss Tip: It’s Not Just About What You Put in Your Mouth“. Gag me. Here’s what pushed [...]

This is Amazing.

July 28th, 2008 · No Comments

My brother sent me this today (via the amazing iPhone). I can relate.

July 28th, 2008 · No Comments

I just want to say that before I even read this amazing post over at dlisted, I was fascinated by Camille Grammer, Kelsey’s wife. Here’s why:
One time, when I lived in New York, I somehow managed to get invited to an SNL after-party (well, not somehow - my friend was an intern. That’s how I [...]

How to Make Me Sick.

July 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Via Jezebel, this disgusting ad for an agency called Ashley Madison- whose slogan is “Life is Short. Have an Affair”. This makes me sick. As a married woman, a fucking decent person, and as someone who believes in full disclosure with my partner— ugh. This is gross.
And to top off the nasty work of the [...]

Reproductive Health Roundup

July 25th, 2008 · No Comments

South Dakota abortion providers are officially being forced to read a script to their patients that is based completely in ideology, and includes language stating that an abortion “will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique living human being,” as well as that the women have “an existing relationship” with the fetus and that [...]

Women in Porn: Kimberly Kane, Educator

July 24th, 2008 · No Comments

I love porn. Have I said that before? Well, I do. I like to watch it, I enjoy working on set, and many of my friends are in the business. Lately I’ve discovered more cases of porn-stars being taken seriously, and their opinions credited as important. Thank-fucking-god. People should listen to women, that’s what I’m [...]

Congress speaks up in favor of women’s health (well, some of Congress)

July 24th, 2008 · No Comments

Earlier this week, a group of Congress members sent letters to President Bush to urge him not to move forward with the proposed regulations that would define certain contraceptives as abortion, allow anti-choice health care doctors, nurses and other professionals to refuse to personally provide abortion care (under the newly defined “abortion”), and force health [...]
