In the News

Man vs. Nature, the endless chase to perfection, romance over the operating table - it's all in a day's work for plastic surgeon, Reza Vossough. His most recent invention, er, I mean innovation is not hard to find. Just look at his newly transformed wife, Cany Vossough.

Disinterested in his 33 year-old wife's body, Vossough stuffed his Cany with 1,600g of silicone and altered her butt, thighs, and stomach so that he could make her into the bodacious amazon she is today. And she's very happy with the results.

Of course, Cany invested over 18,000 Euros (over $26,000 American dollars) and went under the knife eight times before she married her plastic surgeon.

I met Jincey Lumpkin at a special event at Kiki De Montparnasse. We met for lunch @ Park and she told me about the lesbian porn she was producing and now it's here. It's the best butch/femme lesbian sex-in-the-back-of-the-cab ever:

Candida Royalle has always been my role model for a good business woman. Her line of vibrators was always a dream of mine, but I promoted the Hitachi Magic Wand back in the seventies simply because it was the best one.  We sell her Liberte in the store and I use it in my practice.  Here she is sweeping the Berlin Feminist Porn Awards:

Candida Royalle, known for her internationally acclaimed line of woman-friendly erotic films, returned triumphant from her trip to Berlin where she was honored for her pioneering work in paving the way for women to create female-centered adult films at the first ever ‘PorYes'Feminist Porn Awards.

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)

This is one of the best ways to show WOMEN how we can participate in creating change. Fashion began as my first true love to become my worst enemy. It's all STUFF we must do to be more acceptable to men? Other women? The society? Or the corporate work place? 

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.

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.

Here is an issue I urge all of my fans to read up on. The facts of H1N1 a.k.a swine flu.

What caught my eye is CBS investigative journalists tackled the issue and were reportedly stonewalled by the Center for Disease Control and their report buried for all intents and purposes. When a major mainstream investigative journalism outfit has this happen to them, I take profound interest. Here is the link to mercola.com's coverage of the misinformation surrounding the swine flu - H1N1 situation.

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. 

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.

Here are some pics: Vulvagraphics Show.

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.   

When I was a wee lass, I really didn't care what the complexion of my Barbies and Kens were. As you may have read in my last post, I was far more concerned with other matters than looks. Again, for me, it was all about what Barbie's could do that I couldn't.

And I feel like it's the same issue with Mattel's new line of Afrocentric Barbie dolls. Designer, Stacy McBride-Irby, created what she considers accurate portrayals of "African-American" women:

"The new black Barbies released by Mattel have fuller lips, curlier hair and other features that the company says more accurately represent African-American women."
