A Euphemism For Anal Bleaching
I called anal bleaching an “inherently nonsensical topic” back in 2011, and that’s still so. But even if it’s only a twitter joke, today’s euphemism could make you smile.
Don’t call it “anal bleaching” any more. Call it “changing your ring tone.” Hehe.

1970s Carnival Dancers
In the 1970s photographer Susan Meiselas followed carnivals around New England, taking photos of their striptease dancers. (It’s my impression of the times that the relative ratios of “strip” and “tease” probably varied with the jurisdiction where the carnival found itself.)

Bukkake Incoming
What’s the old infantryman joke about incoming artillery? “Oh lord, for what we are about to receive, may we be truly thankful…” This young lady seems to feel the same way about the bukkake party where she has suddenly found herself at the center of attention:

Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty: New Book, TV Show
It’s old news from last September, but new to me: a television production company has acquired the rights to produce a television show based on Anne Rice’s Beauty books.
Televisa USA has acquired TV and digital rights to Anne Rice’s best-selling book series The Sleeping Beauty, with plans to produce the erotic BDSM trilogy as a TV series, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
First published in 1983-85 as The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty’s Punishment and Beauty’s Release, the series is set in a medieval fantasy world. The books center on a young princess who, like Sleeping Beauty, is awakened from her long sleep – only in a more provocative fashion than in the fairytale.
By fucking her. What the writer would have said if equipped with a spine is that Beauty’s prince woke her up by fucking her. And then, basically, he kept her as a pet — one of many! — as was his habit.
Obviously the intention is to cash in on the pop-BDSM craze currently under way thanks to the 50 Shades of Grey phenomenon. The article doesn’t say where this series would be broadcast, but unless it’s filmed in the same wall-to-wall soft-core 85%-porn style in which the books were written, it’s going to be a huge disappointment. Which pretty much means it will have to be on one of the premium cable channels, or it will suck. (Most likely, it will suck.) Visually it needs to be “Orgy Scenes From Caligula” meets “Game Of Thrones brothel”, and content-wise it needs to be wall-to-wall naked slaves of both genders, or it won’t capture the essential charm of the books. This would be expensive to produce and I have little faith that it will actually happen.
As a throwaway detail, the story also confirms the rumor from a year ago that Rice is writing a fourth Beauty book:
“I wrote this to be fun, in the belief that dominance and submission can be romantic and delightful as well as erotic,” said Rice, who noted in February that she’s prepping a fourth book in the series.
I guess she’s finally over the whole “I’m a Christian now and ashamed of my devil-friendly writings” deal, and is now ready to get back to the work she’s good at.
Update: I went a little nuts on Twitter trying to explain what a Beauty TV show ought to, but will not, look like.
A new TV show based on the Anne Rice series of Beauty books? That show is gonna suck so hard unless it's done right: http://t.co/HH6CsHhAzZ

A TV show of the Beauty books will suck if the producers slack off on ANY aspect of the over-the-top BDSM sensuality of Rice's vision.

"Beauty" TV done right needs female AND male slaves, all nude all the time, erections everywhere, rich sets, lots of non-stop kink going on.

Think Bob Guccione's unrealized vision for Caligula, translated to BDSM, filmed for both male and female gaze, in Game Of Thrones style.

THAT is what The Claiming Of Sleeping Beauty (et seq) would look like on a screen. But I really don't believe Televisa can or will go there.

Ms. Magazine: You’ve Come A Long Way Baby
The Ms. Magazine of my youth couldn’t mention pornography without excoriating it and stripping all agency from the women who appeared in it. For them to publish an interview with a scholar who could say a thing like this? It would have been inconceivable:
So when we talk about women in pornography today and reduce the conversation to trafficking, we miss how women are aware of the constraints and have made a choice to do this work because they’ve weighed it against other limited options and found it to be beneficial for them. Rather than judge them for being “wrong” in their choices, I wanted to see what they were doing and what they were trying to say. Some of the most important messages from the archives is that, even in the midst of the greatest oppression, we still want to love ourselves sexually and we want to be erotic beings, and we want to survive and thrive and be courageous and savvy, even if that means using the sex industry to carve out other choices and live better lives.
That’s from an interview with Mireille Miller-Young, author of A Taste for Brown Sugar: Black Women in Pornography.
