Boylesque: Lord Dashwood

I was trawling about Youtube and found myself looking at male strip show videos. And while I’m quite partial to a good male strip show, they can also be a bit cliched and sometimes the attitude of the dancer can be a bit too agressive or cocky. And then I found this video. Lord Dashwood is a male burlesque dancer whose routine is a mix of drag and more masculine Read More …

Home, Bed

I’m back from my cycling adventure. It was challenging and fun. We encountered a huge amount of rain early on which meant the ride was cancelled on one day due to floods. And our tent leaked. I only ended up on the SAG bus once but successfully pedalled the last 4 days. I came home and succumbed to the creeping cold that started last Thursday. I’ve still got it today, Read More …

Sex On A Bike

OK, while I’m away on my cycling tour I’m going to just schedule a quick post that combines sex and cycling. Just for the hell of it. So… What do you get when you cross a sex toy with a bicycle seat? The answer is at Gizmag. And did you know that you shouldn’t have sex with a bicycle because it will land you on a sex offenders list? It Read More …

While I’m Gone…

I’m about to head off on my insane cycling adventure and I’m currently wondering if I’ve done the right thing – my body is complaining and I’ve now got a few injuries to worry about. Still, can’t be helped – we’re going whether I’m fit or not. So here’s a few nice couples pics to tide you over. They’re from inside the member’s area of For The Girls. I’ll return Read More …

Cycling My Way To Distraction

You may have noticed that blog and twitter posts have been a little scarce over the last few weeks. That’s because I decided to take up a new hobby and it’s taken over my life. Five weeks ago I decided to join my husband on a 570km 9 day cycle tour, along with 1500 other people. A bit of a strange decision for someone who hasn’t really been into cycling Read More …

Australia Is Now Well Hung

Over the weekend, Australia had an election. Now the people have spoken and their overwhelming response is: Meh. We have a hung parliament. Neither Labor or the Liberal/National coalition won enough seats to form government. This means the fate of the country lies with three country independents and a freshly minted Greens MP. Meanwhile, the Greens have gained control of the senate. This is all fantastic news. If you’ve been Read More …

Jerk Choices

This is an ad from the Australian Sex Party which parodies the conservative “Work Choices” campaign from a few years ago. It’s not often you get an electoral ad that makes a fairly direct reference to masturbation, even though it probably should happen a lot more often in political advertising. Yes, the Sex Party ARE serious but they know how to make us laugh.

Admiring The Mankini

A friend of mine is having a birthday soon and, giggling madly, I lashed out and bought him a fantastic present: a lime green Borat mankini. No doubt he’ll look superb in the outfit… if he’s ever brave enough to try it on. I found myself doing a Google images seach for the mankini and discovered a surprising number of good looking guys who do a damn fine job of Read More …

Film Competition, Anyone? Bueller?… Bueller?…

The deadline for the Female Gaze Erotic Film Competition is the 16th August – next week. Alas, I haven’t received a single entry. I’m a bit sad about this. I had hoped to encourage alternative visions of erotica with this competition but perhaps now was the wrong time. Perhaps I didn’t promote it enough (although it didn’t help that the major filmmaking sites wouldn’t list it due to their “no Read More …

Revisiting The Rudeness Of Hot Gossip

And here’s my favourite: Muscle Bound, with a fabulous introduction by Marcel Wave. A Twitter conversation has made me revisit some of the sexy Hot Gossip dance clips on Youtube, so I thought I’d post a couple here. Hot Gossip were a dance troupe in the 70s and 80s who became famous via the Kenny Everett Video Show. They were also incredibly RUDE. At least, that’s what I thought when Read More …

Joe Hockey, The Net Filter And Citizen’s Journalism

So it’s official now: the Opposition will scrap plans for the internet filter if they get into government. Liberal Treasury spokesperson Joe Hockey spoke about this stance on JJJ radio and it was later confirmed by another party spokesperson. If you were reading my Twitter feed you would have seen that my husband actually got Joe Hockey to say this over two weeks ago (July 18) when we were on Read More …

Eye Candy

I know, I really am neglecting my blog lately. I used to try and write in it every day but a lot of the time I’ve already said what I wanted to say on Twitter. I think blogs are becoming better suited to long-form writing anyway. In any case, here’s a bit of eye candy to tide you over until I get into the writing mood.

Fiona Patten Reveals How The NVE Classification Was Derailed

[flashvideo file=video/fionapatten.flv /] In 2000, the Howard government seriously considered introducing a new law that would have essentially made explicit porn movies legal in Australia. The Non Violent Erotica (NVE) classification was to replace the existing X classification. Explicit films rated X are illegal to sell in all Australian states (though it’s not illegal to own them). The NVE classification was a handy way of liberalising erotic material in one Read More …

Mainstream Movies Ignore Women: The Bechdel Test

This great video details The Bechdel Test, which is a way of measuring how mainstream movies treat women. To pass the test, a movie has to: (1) have at least two women in it, who (2) who talk to each other, about (3) something besides a man. The test first appeared in 1985 in Alison Bechdel’s comic Dykes to Watch Out For. This site has a growing list of films Read More …

Facebook Deletes The Our Porn, Ourselves Page

In yet another example of their opaque censorship policies, Facebook has removed Violet Blue’s Our Porn, Ourselves page, even though it had over 3000 members and was obsessively policed by Violet. It seems the anti-porn zealots may have been behind it. Read more about it over at Violet’s blog. Like other member’s of that group, I’m reposting Violet’s letter to Facebook, questioning the page removal. A shit storm is about Read More …
