An Open Letter from the Itty Bitty Titty Committee in Defense of Australia’s Small-Breasted Sisters
Dear Australia, I have a bone to pick. As a cabinet member of the IBTC, that’s Itty Bitty Titty Committee to you, your “classification board” (i.e. national censorship organization) has overstepped a few boundaries. It was rumored that women with small breasts were banned from being in pornographic films or publications in your country. I...
Donations for Haiti Fly Across Social Media Platforms
Like some of the worst disasters, it lasted for only one minute. After a massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake rocked the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince, on Tuesday, Jan. 12; the government nearly collapsed and citizens were left to fend for themselves with inadequate resources. Shock, grief and awe played upon the faces of Haitian men, women and...
Naughty Neighbors
My neighbors don’t know me. They don’t know my name, where I work, or even a phone number to call if something unfortunate happens. My home is my personal sanctuary where I can walk around naked, sing silly songs to my couch-potato bulldog and watch cheesy ‘90s movies without being judged by the middle-aged families...
The new fashion icon: your mom
I used to think that my mother had no impact on my fashion sense. That her sermons on how some things “never go out of style” left me unaffected and, quite frankly, determined to prove to her that the peasant look did go out of style. Then, one day she gave me a Rolling Stones...
How to use Facebook as a human
Before the advent of Facebook and other social utility sites, all relationships had two basic dimensions: in-person or over-the-phone communication. It was simple, and though AOL Instant Messenger connected us online, there were no real rules to follow. There wasn’t a need for rules in that era, but with Facebook’s insane popularity over the years,...
Oscar love curse
An Oscar is the perfect compliment to any actress’ career, but if the Academy Award is for the “best actress” category, (awarded as “performance by an actress in a leading role”) it can, somehow, be the kink in the chain that holds that actress’ romance together. It doesn’t make sense, and the number of men...
“Sarah Palin’s Alaska:” The end of her road to celebrity
What is it Sarah Palin really wants: the presidency or network prime-time? She has now secured one of these goals, and it’s the option that is least hair-raising, if only by a little bit. Discovery Communications and A&E both showed interest in airing “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” but Discovery won the fight and will air the...
Spring Fever in the Morning; Fever All Through the Night
The season when the shadows shorten, the days get longer and nature stirs is approaching: Spring. Our planet is increasing its tilt toward the sun as we speak, and the snow, frost and ice will soon lose the battle between the two warring seasons. If you’re scratching your head, thinking “Spring?” and trying to remember...
Hey Mister, Throw Me Something: Mardi Gras in Mobile, Alabama
Mardi Gras literally means “Fat Tuesday” in French, but it took me a full day to discern the true meaning of the festivities. Becoming a part of Mardi Gras in Mobile gave me a deeper appreciation for the South and the traditions that were born here. It’s a complete culture, a festive lifestyle where magic...
Forthegirls.com, erotica for every woman
Pornography usually leaves a sour residue in my brain, unless I’m laughing at its hilarity. It’s not so much the naked strangers as it is the attitude and subject matter of most porn: humiliation and manipulation of women. It’s not a turn-on to watch fellow females get used, slapped around, and controlled by men, their...
