What is going *on* with this country?

So I'm scanning news headlines this morning and run across this one:

"Nude buttocks may cost ABC $1.4 million"

So of course, I'm intrigued and I start to read the article. Turns out that ABC, in some episode of NYPD Blue, showed ""multiple, close-up views" of a woman's "buttocks", and now, they're being fined by the Federal Communications Commission.

The agency states this was indecent because you cannot show "sexual organs and excretory organs, specifically an adult woman's buttocks".

................. 'scuse me?

Since when are 'buttocks' a sexual organ? I mean, there's nothing quite like running your hands over someone's ass, or digging your fingers into those sweet, sweet ass cheeks and pulling someone closer to you, against you... but they are NOT a sexual organ. What the hell.

I could understand that someone's anus might have some sexual connotations but STILL.. even then.. not a 'sexual organ'.

You know, we go along living our lives, knowing that our government really isn't fantastic, and that stuff is majorly screwed up, and that certain people have really fucked up our country recently, but still there's always the thinking that 'well, it's not THAT bad.."

Well you know what? Yes it is. It is THAT BAD. This is just one shining example of how fucked up this country is. Since f'ing WHEN are buttocks a 'sexual organ' and you know what.. even if they WERE.. WHO THE FUCK CARES IF WE SEE THEM ON TV!!!!! First of all, at the time NYPD Blue airs, it's after bedtime for kids. So, if you don't have your kids in bed and they just happen to see someone's BUTT.. then that's your own damn fault. Teaching our children (and adults for that matter) that there's something 'wrong' or 'bad' or 'dirty' about our bodies is probably the worst thing we can do. This is what leads to such screwed up people in our country and you can bet your ass that in other countries television stations aren't getting fined for showing someone's butt on television.

Shit like this makes me nuts.

Obsessed with Obsession...

Hi folks, I'm singing at Obsession again, but this time it's at an earlier time to accommodate everyone from Europe and other places that typically go to sleep WAY earlier than I do.

I'll be performing at 12PM SL this Sunday, January 20. My last show at Obsession was incredibly fun and I can't wait to see some new faces on Sunday.

Please join us if you can, I'd love to see you!

Updates at Obsession

After performing last week at my favorite sex club in SL.. Obsession, Mr. Wendt decided to 'change things around a bit' and he's managed to make my favorite spot even more fantastic. He's moved some things around, added some things, and made what was great.. even better.

I'm posting some photos here so you can see what you're missing if you haven't been there yet:


I love bathrooms in sex places. I do not, however, like walking out of them feeling as though I just caught a case of virtual crabs because they're always covered in filth. Why *is* that? People.. "DIRTY" does not mean .... dirty. I can be just as dirty in a sparkling clean bathroom than I can in a filthy one.

Sefris and some helpers have updated the 'Back Alley' too. This is probably my favorite spot of Obsession. Try the cab.. it's fantastic.

Where can I take you?

I'm going to count backwards from five..

A friend recently told me about 'HypnoDolls' in SL so I went exploring today. HypnoDolls is selling 'hypnotic' machines that are meant to put the user into a trance or hypnotic state by the use of text, audio and visual stimulus. They sell scripts for the machines, most of which are 'adult' or 'fetish' oriented, according to their FAQ notecard.

Now, I'd run into a guy at a BDSM club recently who was explaining to me that he uses hypnosis to get his sub to do as he asks and I must admit, I was highly skeptical just because I guess I've seen too many roleplayers and liars that I have difficulty believing that everyone I meet online is honest and truthful and are telling me things I can believe without a doubt. I do not doubt for one second that he truly believes he is hypnotizing women, but I'm hesitant to say that I believe that's truly what's going on. I won't say that he's lying because I certainly am in no position to make that judgement - maybe he IS actually hypnotizing women, and maybe I'm too cynical about it to even allow it to happen to me.

That being said, I had no idea there were actual machines for hypnosis being sold in SL.

I stopped by today and cammed onto the machine and I have to say that I honestly did feel myself drifting away a bit just watching the visuals on the thing. It's very relaxing and calming and pretty cool, I think.

Another neat thing I learned from their notecard is that they're very open to allowing people to create scripts for this machine and then allowing you to sell them in the store and splitting the profits with you 50/50. That's not a bad deal. Also, if you're a scripter into this kind of thing, from now until April 1, anyone submitting a script that is *not* sexual in nature (weight loss, smoking cessation, gambling (?), etc) will receive 90% of the profits if the script is sold in the store. Sweet.

Are any of you out there using these hypnosis machines? Are any of you doing any hypnotizing or allowing others to hypnotize you? Does it work? I'd love to hear your experiences - I'm still on the fence with this one so the more I can learn about it the better!

Holiday Hiatus

Whew. What a holiday huh. I don't know about you guys but I was insanely busy and my vacation time from work went by much more quickly than I would have liked.

I'll be posting more soon, just as soon as I've had a chance to stop and catch my breath!

Until then... be lovely.
