You Called?

I've often dreamt of the day when a girl could just grab her phone, address book, calendar, laptop, ipod, vibrator and alarm clock, and hit the open road. That day has arrived.

Fear not world weary ladies of leisure! Now we no longer have to discreetly pack that faux lipstick-shaped vibrator when we travel (or just plain leave the house).

A new free downloadable app for the Google phone, called Dildroid, turns your Google cell phone into a vibrator. You can even adjust speed levels with a flick of your finger (that's what she said).

Finally! Sex and mobile technology coming together to better benefit womankind.

And I thought I couldn't possibly love my phone more.

Call me?

Hung

So I’ve been watching Hung on HBO.

The new series stars Thomas Jane (uh yeah from the Punisher) as Ray Drecker, a down and out former high school sports star turned loser high school basketball coach who gets into prostitution to support his family.

This show has all the trappings of an interesting series: the premise (a hetero male prostitute?? What!?), an array of supporting characters (pimp, family, ex-wife, neighbors, etc.), and the freedom of cable to show lots of nudity and sex.

Before seeing the show I imagined it was going to be about a "badass" dude who fucks a continuous litany of beautiful, rich models for lots of pay (basically a platform for HBO to show a ton of boobs*) But thankfully, the show seems to mostly steer clear of that empty trap.

I like the relationship between Drecker and his pimp, Tanya (played by the always brilliant Jane Adams). Messing around with the seemingly inherent gender roles of pimp and prostitute really made me stop and think about mainstream depictions of gender within the sex industry.

Hung is an interesting tongue-in-cheek reflection of our current society. The series is set in Detroit, the symbolic city of the modern depression and the characters are people doing illegal and unorthodox things to survive in a crumbling world.

The show does fail in some places, however. Drecker works with some clients with bizarre fantasies not necessarily related to sexuality. Some of these fantasies seem trite and made up and I would rather explore more realistic images of female sexuality than the stereotypical portrayal of the relationship-crazed woman.

This is a show about the sex industry from the perspective of the female consumer! There is a lot of unexplored territory here and yet at times the writing feels like it's falling back on age old, worn out cliches of female desire.

If it can clean itself up a bit and get down to business, Hung does have the potential to be an enthralling satirical narrative, much akin to Showtime's beloved Weeds or the fantastic True Blood. It seems it's too soon yet to tell just how big Hung could get.

*Californication

Yum Yum Sugalumps

Lady of Leisure and I have been greedily devouring the second season of New Zealand folk rockers Flight of the Conchords on DVD. I highly recommend purchasing this season so you can watch it while smoking a j or while fapping or just with friends.



Both the Conchords are hotties but it seems that female fans usually favor one of the other. Are you a Bret girl or a Jermaine girl? While I have always been a Bret girl myself (the Lady perfers Jermaine), the second season is starting to make me love Jermaine as well, especially his sugalumps.



Also, too many dicks on the dance floor should never be a problem.



I would do dirty, dirty things to both of these Kiwis.

Project Runway Bitches!

We're about four episodes into the new season of Project Runway! If you don't watch it, you should. I have some shit to talk right now so Spoiler Alerts ahead matey!

First off WTF is up with Crybaby Johnny Sakalis (aka Meth Dude)? Yeah I know he's a recovering addict and has some shit he needs to work out but the editing makes it look like he freaks out about everything! It's what? Season 6 now? Homeballs should know what he's in for by now don't you think? The challenges are hard buddy.

Oh and sorry to sound like Perez Hilton but having crazypants Lyndsey Lohan as your celebrity judge on the first episode? The first episode of your new season on a new channel no less? Uh?

Also check out cutie River Phoenix-look-alike Logan Neitzel! Too bad his designs are a little boring and he speaks like a robot. Dude needs to stop paying so much attention to his peen machine and more on his designs.

And thankfully Crystal is finally gone. Her designs looked like something you’d see at the Clearwater Senior Center cafeteria.

My friends and I always do a pool for Project Runway each season, we pick our top 3 after the 3rd episode and then an ultimate winner out of the top 3 and we all put in $5. Whoever picks the correct top 3/winner gets all the money.

My top 3 for this season are:
Althea
Gordana
Carol Hannah

my winner is Althea.

We'll see how it goes.....

Breakin' The Law

Female Lawmakers Are Better Than Their Male Counterparts According to Politico:

Are women more effective lawmakers than men?

That’s the preliminary conclusion of a study conducted by researchers at Stanford University and the University of Chicago, who say that on average, women in Congress introduce more bills, attract more co-sponsors and bring home more money for their districts than their male counterparts do.

The study, which examined the performance of House members between 1984 and 2004, found that women delivered roughly 9 percent more discretionary spending for their districts than men.

For instance, during Rep. Judy Biggert’s first two-year term, Illinois’s 13th District received $382 million in federal funds, $70 million more than it received during the final term of her predecessor, Rep. Harris Fawell.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren delivered around $859 million to her district, compared with $541 million brought in by her predecessor, Rep. Don Edwards, during his final term, the researchers said.

And during then-Rep. Connie Morella’s first term, Maryland’s 8th District received $780 million, $183 million more than predecessor Rep. Michael Barnes brought in during his final term, they said.

While there are obviously variables beyond gender — seniority, party affiliation, majority/minority status and the differing priorities of a freshman and a veteran lawmaker — the researchers say they’ve accounted for those in making their male-to-female comparisons.

“You could easily make the argument that a politician who is on his way out, or someone who is sitting on a really powerful committee, is in a different position than someone just coming into office,” said Stanford researcher Sarah Anzia. “Not every example will cover every alternative explanation, but we control for all of those factors in the study.”

The researchers also found that women introduced more legislation than men who served in their same districts, often hitting the ground running in their first terms.

“We find that, on average, women sponsor about three bills more per Congress per term than their male counterparts,” said Anzia. “They co-sponsor more bills than other members, and they also obtain more co-sponsors for their own bills.”

Since 1789, women have constituted just 2 percent of the total congressional population. The ratio of female to male representatives has increased in recent years, but the pace is still fairly glacial: Nearly 17 percent of House members are women today, compared with about 3 percent in 1979.

Researchers say the small number of female members may have something to do with their effectiveness. Women who run and win are likely the most politically ambitious and talented of their pool, having potentially overcome hurdles including voter bias and self-doubt about their ability to win. Female candidates also tend to attract more challengers. Politically eligible women tend to doubt their ability to get elected and raise money more than men do, multiple studies have indicated. Large majorities of both men and women in candidate feeder pools, such as law offices and political organizations, believe there is a bias against women in elections, according to Lawless and Fox studies in 2005 and 2004.

Once women get to Capitol Hill, those hurdles may drive them to perform better, on average, than male counterparts who have faced a less contentious road.

“Research shows that even though women have similar success rates in primaries and elections as men, they are likely to face more challengers,” said Hartwick College political science department chairwoman Laurel Elder. “The results might be the same, but they might have to work harder to get those same results.”

I probably could have guessed this without doing all that research but it's good to have some facts to back up your shit right?

Right on ladies of the law! Keep it going!

Always a Bridesmaid...Not Really Into Being a Bride

So I went to a best friend’s wedding this past weekend. I was a bridesmaid, something that I’ve never done.

Weddings do a lot to you. They make you eat and drink too much, they make you think about love. They also make you horny. While listening to the Rabbi talk about what love and marriage mean and what makes people want to get married and stay married, all I could think of was how I was going to get into the pants of the groom’s hot cousin with the Jew fro.

After the ceremony, the party began and my attempts at a hook up with Jew-fro cousin were going really well. We hung out during the party, gettin' a little tipsy. I sat by him on the party bus back to the hotel and then we went up to his room and started fooling around. I asked if he had a condom, he said no, I said I had one in my room (cuz im prepared like that, what what) and left to go get it. I got to my room and realized I didn't have my room key on me. So I went downstairs to the front desk, got a key, went back up to my room, and got the condom. But by then I had drunkenly forgotten what room the dude was in. I knocked on a ton of doors trying to find him but alas, no hot dude. I don't even remember if I was on the right floor. I was pretty drunk at that point.

So I gave up and went to bed. That's right ladies, I failed at a hook up because I couldn't remember what room the dude was in.

SAD

The next day in the lobby he was like "what happened last night?" I told him the story and he laughed. Awkwardly, we were on the same flight back to Phoenix (where he connected to L.A.) but thankfully he had a sense of humor (I don't bang - or fail at banging - unfunny people) and we were able to joke about the whole thing.

I am actually kinda bummed I didn't bag him. That's what weddings are for right?
oh wellz...

Every time I attend a friend’s wedding (which is getting more and more often) I just can’t help but fall in love with love and weddings and parties and hot cousins. Weddings are one of the best aphrodisiacs because they put all the right pieces in place for some hot sex: food, alcohol, dancing, happiness, out-of-town relatives, hotels, jacuzzis, and more alcohol.

Except for my FAIL at hooking up with the groom's cousin, I did all the required things a bridesmaid should do at her best friend's wedding:

• During my bridesmaid speech, I embarrassed several of the bride’s ex-boyfriends in attendance at the wedding when I stated that “I’ve never liked any of your boyfriends before this one.”
• I ate too much food and almost couldn’t fit into my bridesmaid dress.
• I offered the “Last chance, are you sure you want to do this? You can jump ship right now” speech to the bride as I helped her get dressed.
• I cried too much when I saw her in her beautiful gown walking down the aisle.
  
• I took too many photos.
• I drank too much champagne.
• I danced awkwardly to rap music.
  

Wedding completed.

And speaking of weddings........this site is hilarious!

Sex with Hitler

Whoa. Germans can be really weird. Take these new German ads that "Warn That Sex With Hitler Will Give You AIDS / Unbridled Pleasure," as reported by Guanabee. The blog post is pretty hilarious:

"The television ad features a couple having sex, turning to reveal the man as Adolph Hitler along with the words “AIDS is a mass murderer.” More like an ass murderer! High five! A series of print posters will also feature Stalin (’Cuz I Don’t Wanna Finish Right Away) and Hussein (In The Membrane) in similar poses, also with naked women."

It's crazy to think that at one time Hitler was seen as this hot really fuckable dude. So gross.




People were going crazy about the supposed German Sprite ad that was eventually revealed as unauthorized and made by an American, but this seems just as misguided to me. Did I mention there are also ads featuring Stalin and Sadam? Double gross.

PoolBoy on the East Coast!

So hey y'all. I was just in NYC and Boston, hitting on some hot dudes, and meeting up with people to work on the first issue of PoolBoy Magazine!

here's a run down of what i didz:

Boston:
- Met up with PoolBoy James. We went to a UFC fight, which initially i thought was going to be totally horrible but i ended up really impressed with the hot dudes there. UFC fighter bodies are the shit. Hot hot hot. Plus lots of hot dudes from Brazil....yeah.

- I went to the Isabella Gardner Museum which was beautiful. A very interesting woman from the early 1900s. Check it out.

NYC (aka Hot dude land)
- I photographed writer and musician, Mishka Shubaly in Greenpoint. We're running a hot interview with him called "Take it Off" in the first issue. Here's some teasers:


I photographed him in his apartment amidst strewn Magnum condom wrappers (word up ladies). He gave me a vibrator (long story). And then we went to a nearby park and ate chips.

I also was able to check out the Museum of Sex!


Which had a very interesting exhibit on animals and sex, composed of videos, scientific data, photographs and really cool paper mache sculptures:


The other main exhibition was on Sex in Film. It documented sex on films from the beginning of movie making up to the present and included everything from Victorian era "stag" films to Girls Gone Wild (and Boys Gone Wild). It was weird standing in a room full of TV screens showing pornos through the ages with a bunch of tourists from around the world. But everyone seemed OK with it.

The upstairs exhibition had a lots of interesting stuff including photographs of people with their sex toys, materials on sex education for children throughout the ages, fetishes and kinky sex videos and objects, and a cool stop-animation video of robots having sex.

I definitely recommend checking out this museum if you are in NYC and are sick of the MOMA. It's got rotating exhibitions that deal with all sorts of issues related to sexuality and it's very informative and interesting. Plus it's got a gift store filled with dildos and books!

All in all it was an awesome trip! I got to network for the magazine a bunch and met some really cool people who are doing cool things and helping out PoolBoy.

Can't wait for this first issue to cum out!!!

"What the world really needs is another place to collect odd, funny, hot, out-there erotic images and whatnot. Male, female, tentacle alien, it don't matter to me. It's all good. In case you hadn't already noticed, NSFW."

There are some really odd photos:










And some really hot ones:








UPDATE: The odd photos don't seem to want to remain posted here so you'll just have to go to the tumbler blog to check them out yourselves!

September is HPV month

Not really, I just made that up so I could post this awesome article entitled Living with HPV from the Boston Phoenix. Chances are you know several people who have HPV so read up and get yo head straight!

Another HPV vaccine

About two years ago I eagerly got my Gardasil HPV vaccine shots, which prevent two strains of cancer causing HPV. The nurse that administered my third shot told me to tell my male friends to come in for the shot as well. I was a little confused since I thought the vaccine was only for women, but this article in the Arizona Republic not only states that Gardasil is about to market to males but there is another HPV vaccine, Cervarix by Glaxo, about to drop in the states.

If you haven't already gotten the vaccine, be sure to do so, but do some research first. After all, according to the AZ Republic, "Gardasil and Cervarix both defend against HPV strains 16 and 18, which cause about 70 percent of cervical-cancer cases. But Merck's vaccine also defends against two other HPV types that cause 90 percent of genital warts, something Cervarix does not target."

Now if we could just get that male birth control pill on the market...

Cervixen

This is an interesting site dedicated to one woman's cervix throughout her menstrual cycle, complete with photographs of her cervix on every day of her cycle.

If you don't like to see images of the interiors of the human body, don't check out this site....BUT if you are interested in your cycle and what it looks like, this site is FASCINATING.

Nude Model Arrested at NYC Photoshoot

This is like some Bush-era shit!

According to ArtBistro, model Kathleen Neil was arrested at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for public lewdness while posing for art photographer Zach Hyman in the arms and armor department of the museum. It seems the museum can house paintings and photography of naked women but not real naked women.

On another note, Zach Hyman has some cool photos of nude models interacting with NYC and its inhabitants.

I quite like his stuff.

All you Pool Girls taking photos of naked dudes out there - be careful!

Speaking of Facials...

This is old news but I'm surprised we didn't post it a month ago. Remember this fake German Sprite add (as linked on Huffington Post)?

Shame on you. How could you have forgotten so fast?
