Invented by a woman and selling like hotcakes in the Netherlands I bring you La Decollette: the anti-wrinkle cleavage bra.  This is for women with real breasts who are 40+ or spent way too much time in the sun.  God, I've spent alot of time on the beach but I'm a B cup so no breast wrinkles here.

You wear it at night and it keeps your breasts apart minimizing the appearance of your breast wrinkles the following day. It does look pretty comfortable as far as bras go. It comes in black or white and inventor Rachel De Boer hopes it will help the millions of women with breast wrinkles (stop laughing)

Halloween is the witch's new year.  We all got together at Betty's and Barbara Carrellas did the ritual. The separation between the living and the dead is the thinnest on All Hallows Eve so we each conjured someone from the hereafter and then we wrote down on a piece of paper what we want to let go of and burned it.  

Here are the pics: flickr/halloween.

I never post before 7am because I'm never up this early.  But today Betty and I are shooting the next installment in our Sex Skills series: Manual Stimulation.  It's all about how to touch your pussy and stimulate yourself to orgasm.  

And it's an all woman shoot (except for Eric but he's one of us).  Anna, Jenny, Christina, Betty and me. We sat up last night talking sex and feminism at Betty's and it was electric. I can't wait to get to set. They'll be limited posting today but we shot our video podcast yesterday - I just have to edit it this morning. As Susie Bright says, "clits up!

I caught this on the wires yesterday and hesitated posting it.  I'm just sick of the f*cked up body image issues we foist on young girls. This sculpture depicts a 20cm tall girl with breasts that are five metres high and wide and it's INSTALLED AT A CITY PARK.  Parents are wigging out.  Its been defaced on several occasions - someone even tried to put a giant bra over the sculpture.  

One local mum, called Liang, complained: "The park used to be a great place for families, but now what attracts my son the most is the huge breasts.

Betty and I love resourceful women who refuse to be victims.  This story proves that wit and resolve trump force and aggression: 

The Athens Banner-Herald reported Monday that the woman scared off the suspect around 11 p.m. Saturday. According to police, the woman got on the floor and began scratching at the door and acting like a large dog when the suspicious man tried turning the woman's door knob.

The police report did not say what specific dog-like behaviors, such as barking, the woman mimicked.  The woman said the man, who appeared to be homeless, quickly ran from the porch.

This video makes a girl want to do really naughty things

A leading geneticist mapping out the neanderthal geonome claims he has proof that modern man had sex outside its species.   Professor Svante Paabo, director of genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, recently told a conference at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York that he was now sure the two species had sex but he was unclear if the couplings had led to children.

While it seems that Hollywood is becoming more female-friendly with films based on the lives of Julia Child, Amelia Earhart, Virginia Wolfe, and Co Co Chanel, it took the NY Times and Manohla Dargis to slap me across the face and hit the point home: all these women were dead (for decades).  Not only were they accomplished, beautiful, and famous but they were "legitemized by history".  They're not just interesting stories they're f*cking icons. 

This month's Playboy magazine has a 5 page article on "Traci" - The Woman Who Could Think Herself Off.  Becky Chalker brought it up last night over dinner and, knowing I had the latest issue, I couldn't wait to finish the Times and get into my Playboy.  Suffice it to say Betty wasn't amused by women feeling even more pressure to orgasm - this time without even touching their bodies.  I tried to keep an open mind.

"Traci" is a 30 something career woman who discovered her talent while her marriage was falling apart.  One night chatting online she revealed that she was so horny that she could orgasm if someone even touched her arm - surprise surprise - her male friend rose to the occasion and cybersexed her to orgasm.  She claims that she couldn't touch herself because she was still married *sigh* and that she got off chatting about her fantasies.

Last night Betty, Rebecca Chalker, and I went to the Vulvagraphics show in Williamsburg.  Betty was honored for her work helping women overcome sexual shame.  I spent the day preparing a rack of lamb feast which we enjoyed before heading out in the pouring rain to spend an evening dedicated to the beauty of the female form.  We celebrated dangling inner lips, elongated clitorises, and unbridled female sexuality.

"How can I squirt across the room" was the most popular question this week. If you want to know, watch the clip ;)

When I covered gender imbalance in the workplace and how the number of women employed INCREASES during recessions, everyone weighed in.  Somehow the image of Rosie the Riveter didn't conjure up any feelings of nostalgia.  However, women were quickly approaching the 50% mark and numbers don't lie.

Fast forward to the latest employment news from USA Today: Women are on the verge of outnumbering men in the workforce for the first time, a historic reversal caused by long-term changes in women's roles and massive job losses for men during this recession. 

Etsy is featuring these one-of-a-kind vulva portrait pendants sculpted from your own vulva.  You just send in 2-3 pics of your vulva and your pendant will arrive within 2-3 weeks.  Thank you, carlisleorama for the link ;)

I'm not sure where I'd debut my vulva necklace...what event.  Wouldn't it be great to see one of these on the red carpet?  What a statement that would be for all womankind.  And if we all wore them displaying our long labia, elongated clitorises, brown colorations - all the different vulva "styles" - it would be so healing.   

A new study reveals that the combination of stress and plastics in our every day life is making men infertile.

A cat and dog in China share parenting responsibilities (they even nurse each other's litters).  I think this is the future: two mothers rotate child care so that they get some time off. 

And daiylmail.co.uk reveals that real women wear flat shoes.  Stillettos are for fashion mag photoshoots and the bedroom ;)
