This page makes for a life-affirming read. I’m not normally one for mushy sentimental self help stuff, but this said a few things to me that needed saying, like:
Turn off the TV. How many hours will we waste away in front of the boob tube? How many hours do we have to live? Do the [...]
I’m back from gallavanting around the Northern part of the country and am now attempting to get my brain back into work mode. It’s gonna be hard after all that wine. Bear with me. I’ll be more coherent tomorrow. Or the next day.
I won’t be online as much for the next few weeks, so posting will slow down a bit. I’m sure it won’t matter as all you people in the Northern Hemisphere are off on Summer holidays anyway.
I grow old… I grow old…
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
- TS Eliot
Another year has gone and I’m about to hit 34. [...]
This month’s feature article at For The Girls is about body hair and hair removal. In reading various articles on the topic I saw it described as “the battle that feminism lost” and I found myself musing about the current state of play when it comes to women and their furry bits.
Fact is, depilation has [...]
This is the new anti-speeding ad from the NSW government. It shows women holding up their pinky fingers after young men engage in hoony behaviour in their cars, speeding off and doing burnouts.
I have to say, I like it, if only because it’s similar to a joke I’ve been making for ages whenever a young [...]
Numerous things to blog about today, but I don’t feel like doing multiple posts so…
* Violet Blue’s article about porn for women is out in Oprah’s O magazine. Details here. I’ve written about this previously in my post Has Oprah embraced porn?
* The mainstream media is rehashing the eye-tracking study from the Kinsey instute which [...]
“We knew more about each other than most of our friends knew about us.”
This is a quote from Naked On The Internet: Hookups, Downloads and Cashing In On Internet Sexploration. It’s by a sex blogger, talking about how she cultivated friendships with other women online.
As I flicked through Audacia Ray’s new book, the statement rang [...]
Wade past the make-up advertising, “fashionista” blog and frighteningly large handbag photos and you’ll find this article in the sex section of Marie Claire.
Following their February survey that found that 17% of their readers were into porn, the mag decided to compile a list of what they called “reputedly female friendly sites.”
The list has quite [...]
On this day 16 years ago my cousin was killed in a motorbike accident. He was 20 and like a brother to me. The sad fact is that he died because he was going way too fast on a winding road, astride a bike he wasn’t licensed to ride.
I remember the dull shock of it [...]
I was just perusing Amber Rhea’s blog and, amidst the many interesting musings on feminism and blogging, I discovered that she has graduated from her pole dancing school with a purple garter.
I tried pole dancing, once, over two years ago. And I was absolutely crap at it.
Jane and I from For The Girls attended [...]
Google is giving me nightmares.
No, really. I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night for the last week or so, panicking about duplicate content, robots.txt files and how my blog software may have ruined all my rankings.
The reason I’ve become obsessed is that Google has decided Ms Naughty is spam, and booted [...]
You know what. I’m gloating. I shouldn’t, but I can’t help it.
Porn megastar Jenna Jameson recently underwent vaginoplasty and has now gone into hiding because the job was botched.
According to this extremely pro-surgery site:
“She underwent a vaginoplasty at a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, and she is very unhappy,†says a source close to the x-rated [...]
Caloo, calay, the .xxx domain has been given the boot again, and most adult webmasters are happy with this result.
I for one, am pleased I don’t have to fork out US$65 a year to register msnaughty.xxx so some other bastard doesn’t hijack it. I would not have moved this site to .xxx if it went [...]
I spent waaaay too much time writing a post at Quirky Sex about guys who set their genitals on fire. It started small, and then I just kept finding new things to add.
The sad thing is… it seems that there are a lot of guys out there pouring lighter fluid on their crotches and putting [...]
The recent news about the two female students suspended for using the word “vagina” when performing The Vagina Monologues at school had me feeling peeved - once again - at the way so many people use the word “vagina” instead of “vulva” to describe a woman’s genitals.
Hell, if I was the principal, I’d feel tempted [...]
My god, I’ve got a big hangover today.
AND I’m in the process of making the Ms Naughty linklist into a newer, shinier version of the one that exists today. I’ve started by brightening up the colours so it matches the blog. Nicer, I think. And there’s more to come. Here’s hoping that it all [...]
As a kid growing up, the only TV I was allowed to watch on weeknights was at 6pm on the ABC (something many Australian 30-somethings will appreciate). This usually encompassed The Goodies and Doctor Who but it also included the Kenny Everett Video Show. This 6pm ritual is partly responsible for my sense of humour, [...]
Reading up on the history of Valentine’s Day at Wikipedia, I found that the Romans had some amusing customs for Lupercalia, celebrated on February 15, and they tended to involve naked men.
Lupercalia, of which many write that it was anciently celebrated by shepherds, and has also some connection with the Arcadian Lycaea. At this time [...]
OK, so a month ago I posted about not knowing what to do with Myspace.
I think I’ve got it worked out. I found a way to make the page look nice (without it being too unreadable), I’ve sat down and listed my favourite movies, TV shows and books, and I’m now on a search for [...]
Yes, yes. It’s everywhere. But I like it. And it was filmed in Pitt Street Mall. God knows I used to need a hug whenever I passed through there. But I was so wound up at the time I would probably have been one of the grumpy people shoving him aside.
Thank God I don’t live [...]
It’s summer here and my favourite way to keep fit at this time of year is to swim laps at the local pool.
Yesterday the swimming lane was crowded out by no less than three firemen who had decided to do a few laps while on duty. They parked the fire engine outside and one guy [...]
