Yesterday the blogosphere heard about the frustration of blogger Debauchette, who discovered that porn mag Tight had lifted large parts of her writing and passed it off as original.
Today I find I’m in the same boat. Doing a spot of Google rank research for this blog I discovered that some shit site called Radical Left [...]
Through the magic of Twitter I found myself perusing Amp Magazine and this article that has prompted me to post a quick rant.
You see, the author has gone out of her way to suggest that the character of John Bender (that’s the bad boy Judd Nelson one) in the Breakfast Club was actually gay. And [...]
It’s a long hard climb but I’m gonna get there,
I’m climbing to the morning sun.
I’ve been down this week. This frog tells me all I need to know.
I’ve got both DVDs of the early Sesame Street episodes. It’s a bizarre thing to watch because I remember so much of it. Viewing all those little segments [...]
I watched the final of the Eurovision song contest last night and all the songs I liked didn’t do very well. I was so relieved and happy to hear the UK’s Hot Chocolate disco song because it wasn’t yet another boy band… but it came last. Denmark had a happy-go-lucky song that was very likeable [...]
Something has been bugging me for a long time now, so I’m going to have a little rant about it.
It seems that there are a lot of people out there who don’t like the term “porn for women.” I realise this - and I’ve discussed the ins and outs of it plenty of times on [...]
My decision not to have kids was hard to make, but it was the right one for me.
Now, it seems, I’ve been backed up by a psychologist who says that having children significantly reduces people’s happiness. Research from Europe shows that, while people are very happy when expecting a baby, this drops off when the [...]
I have a piece of paper that says I can be a teacher. I have no intention of using it unless I’m desperate because teaching in 2008 is a shit job that is undervalued and underpaid.
But I suspect that I would have no hope of employment even if I did go mad and decided I [...]
Here’s a pic from one of the new couples galleries at For The Girls. It’s a lovely set of photos with lots of intimacy and eye contact - and it starts with him serenading her with a guitar.
I thought I’d best whack up a nice porn pic to keep you all placated… all of you… [...]
I’d been avoiding Facebook after I tried to join as Ms Naughty last year and it wouldn’t let me. It kept demanding a real name. And then I read about all the privacy issues and how you can’t ever delete your account. So I wasn’t keen.
But then an old friend encouraged me and I thought… [...]
This weekend Amber Rhea’s Sex 2.0 conference was held in Atlanta, Georgia. It was attended by various blogging luminaries like Dacia and Rachel Kramer Bussell and was a general discussion of feminism, sexuality and the internet. It looked very cool and various posts are appearing about the event as I write.
Thing is, though, I wasn’t [...]
I didn’t blog yesterday. That’s because I was doing something fabulous instead: swimming with a pod of dolphins at Bribie Island.
We went there on a “reccie” just to check the place out. As we were heading home across the bridge we saw the pod of dolphins frolicking in the channel and decided to turn around, [...]
It’s Tuesday. I’ve just finished watching Return of the King for the nth time and now my eyes are red from crying. No matter how hard I try, that film reduces me to a blubbering mess. Meanwhile, Wordpress has released a new version, I’m very busy with all sorts of smut-creative activities and I’ve still [...]
Violet Blue’s SF column this week, Ugly Violet, and her subsequent blog post has really struck a chord with me. She writes about the way comment trolls dismiss women because of their appearance and the body image issues women have in our culture. This is a conversation we need to be having and one I [...]
I’ve got a lot of decent things to write about, but it’s late and I’m stuffed, so here’s a filler post.
Quotes About Drinking
Wine is bottled poetry. ~Robert Louis Stevenson
Wine is sunlight, held together by water. ~Galileo
A hangover is the wrath of grapes. ~Author Unknown
A man who was fond of wine was offered [...]
Last Friday on a whim I decided to attend Sexpo in Brisbane, hoping to maybe make some industry contacts and also just to check it all out. I last went to one of these mega sex exhibitions in Sydney ten years ago, back when I was a “civilian.” That expedition was part of the growing [...]
It’s almost 20 years ago that my brother bought Iron Maiden’s Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son and insisted that I listen to a song called Infinite Dreams, even though I swore that I hated heavy metal because it was all noise. It wasn’t long after that that I bought the extremely cool Seventh Son [...]
Today was a good day, one full of hope for the future. Today the Australian parliament said sorry to the Aboriginal people for past injustices, particularly for the forced removal of “half caste” children from their parents throughout the 20th century.
I’m so glad it finally happened. And there was something really positive and special about [...]
In theory I shouldn’t talk about religion on this blog, but sometimes I feel the urge to post something I’ve found. And given that US Republican candidate Mike Huckabee recently said he wanted to change the US constitution to resemble the bible, I’m feeling inclined to say something.
Reading this list of scary, ignorant and occasionally [...]
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 [...]
We went to a friend’s house for dinner last night and were alternately amused and annoyed by their three kids.
At one point the eldest, who is four, decided to come into the kitchen with the sole purpose of getting some attention. “Hey Luke,” she said with her impish grin. “Look at me!” And when he [...]
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
- Dr Seuss
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he’s a-getting,
The sooner will his [...]
Pop the champagne girls and celebrate the start of a new and exciting year ahead!
As usually I’ll be partying like it’s 1999… I’m just so behind the times.
Have a good one.
Today is the Summer Solstice, caloo, calay. Let us celebrate by sacrificing a virgin and guzzling a bottle of wine or two.
Alternately, it’s Global Orgasm Day - so go to it, young ladies!
It’s also four days until Christmas and that naturally means that I’m outta here! I’m going to be doing very little work from [...]
So I’m an Aunty again! My sister WAS in labour on Friday and she proceeded to stay in labour for almost two days. She finally gave birth to a baby boy on Sunday at 8 in the morning. She and the baby are both fine.
So that was quite an experience. I was there for moral [...]
