Sting’s Winged Undies

I’m going to see Sting and The Police tonight and I’m very much looking forward to it. I’ve been a fan since I was 14 and Sting’s last concert here was in 2000 so I’m very keen to “get in touch” again. The tickets were the most expensive I’ve ever bought and the concert hasn’t sold out, possibly due to the price. The insane promoters have added Fergie to the Read More …

Using Male Nudity To Promote Walk Hard

Well, this could be a first. Actress Jenna Fischer is promoting her new film to women by pointing out that it’s full of full frontal male nudity. The film, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, is a spoof of music bios like Walk The Line and, having watched the trailer, I think it looks pretty funny. I’m not sure where all the nudity comes in and I’m not so sure Read More …

What’s In David Beckham’s Undies?

British footballer David Beckham has caused a stir by appearing half-naked in an ad for Armani. The viewer just can’t help but notice that the bulge in those bright white undies is, well, fucking huge. The Daily Star has happily speculated on the various items that may be stuffed therin, including “Led Zeppelin, or at least any Zeppelin, Wife Victoria’s old boob implants, Dr Who’s tardis or even Osama Bin Read More …

Save Mister Splashy Pants

It’s official. Greenpeace is naming the whale Mister Splashy Pants, after the name received 78% of the online poll votes. They’ve now got an online petition to the Japanese government that says: To the Japanese Fisheries Agency, I want you to promise that you will NOT kill Mister Splashy Pants and his friends. That’s just too funny. But it’s also great because it will garner a lot of publicity for Read More …

The Sex Positive Journalism Awards

After yesterday’s post about that Abby Winters beat up, I thought I should post this. Porn and sex in general often get a bad wrap in the mainsteam media. An awful lot of news stories and articles feature an anti-porn and sex-negative slant that help to create a “bad vibe” when it comes to sex in general. The “Sexies” are new awards designed to reward fair and sex-positive journalism. Readers Read More …

Not Enough Nude Men At The Erotica Expo

Zoe Margolis, the Girl With A One Track Mind, has written a piece for the Guardian about the recent Erotica sexuality expo held in London. She says that even though the event attracted record numbers of women, there were hardly any half-naked men on display. The lack of catering for the straight female audience was evident throughout: all the pole dancers were female; the porn stars signing DVDs were female; Read More …

Call For More Male Nudity

The Guardian has an amusing short piece calling for more male nudity in films, following Viggo Mortensen’s super-duper nude bathhouse scene in Eastern Promises. Naturally the author sees an opportunity to make dozens of penis jokes and runs with it. The sight of a penis on screen never fails to get people’s attention, despite the fact that said object of controversy is gazed down upon by its owners – half Read More …

Kushiel’s Tattoos

I’m re-reading one of my favorite books at the moment: Kushiel’s Dart. It’s a fantasy novel set in an alternative Renaissance Europe – one with a different history and set of religions. The cool part is that on top of all the swashbuckling adventure, intrigue and romance, there’s lashings of down-and-dirty BDSM sex. The heroine is a courtesan and an anguissette – one who experiences pain as pleasure. Thus the Read More …

Tyra Banks’ Show On Porn For Women

Violet Blue has posted her roundup of her experiences appearing on the Tyra Banks Show to talk about porn for women here. We don’t get the show here and I’d only vaguely heard of Tyra Banks but it sounds like the kind of show I’d run a mile from anyway. Like Jerry Springer hosted by a scary model. And her website is a shocker. From Violet’s description, they didn’t treat Read More …

Blade Runner Final Cut Has More Boobs

If you ask me to name my most favourite film in the world, I’ll give you two (I can never decide on a final winner). One is The Life Of Brian, the funniest movie ever. The other is Blade Runner. So naturally I was over the moon to hear that Ridley Scott has released a final cut of the film at the Venice Film Festival. On top of that, there’s Read More …

Rick Springfield’s Bum

No blog entry yesterday because I went to see the Countdown Spectacular, which is basically a big nostalgic extravaganza featuring a bunch of one hit wonders from the 70s and 80s. Yes, folks, I have now seen Plastic Bertrand in concert. Oooh wee ooh ooh.. ca plane pour moi! I also was privy to several thousand forty-somethings yelling “No way, get fucked, fuck off!” at The Angels. It was like Read More …

Men In Aprons Are Sexy

This celebrity gossip site says that Catherine Zeta Jones is turned on by men wearing aprons and little else. ‘A man in an apron is a great turn-on for me,’ she tells Weekend magazine. ‘It’s such a sensual thing to be cooked for, to have a man on a date say: “Would you like to come for dinner?” ‘And aprons are sexy, with or without clothes on underneath. We all Read More …

I Like Gary Oldman

I went to see the new Harry Potter film the other day and found myself admiring the gorgeous Gary Oldman who plays Harry’s godfather Sirius Black. Maybe it’s that beard… I had a thing for him in Dracula as well. The other appealing aspect about him is his impressive acting ability. He’s one of the few actors who can really transform himself into a role. I think Johnny Depp is Read More …
