It is all well and good for video game characters when they are popular and their games are flying off the shelves, but what happens after the joysticks are running someone else and the screens go dark? Ms. PacMan turned to prostitution. Frogger dissected. And how about that poor elf Questor whose evil parents took all his gold pieces? The Questor Elf Porn Scandal video goes in-depth into these issues, but the most important questions it asks are “What is that, an arrow?” and “Did you ever bang that Valkyrie chick?”

Creature from the Black Lagoon is a 1954 monster film directed by Jack Arnold, and starring Richard Carlson, Julia Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno, and Whit Bissell. The eponymous creature was played by Ben Chapman on land and Ricou Browning in underwater scenes. The film was released in the United States on 5 March 1954.

Creature from the Black Lagoon was filmed and originally released in 3-D requiring polarized 3-D glasses, and subsequently reissued in the 1970s in the inferior anaglyph format (this version was released on home video by MCA Videocassette, Inc. in 1981). It is considered a classic of the 1950s, and generated two sequels, Revenge of the Creature and The Creature Walks Among Us, each a year apart. Revenge of the Creature was also filmed and released in 3-D, in hopes of reviving the format.

The movie has an enduring legacy in both media and the general public. A musical based on the movie opened at Universal Studios Hollywood in late June of 2009. It has also been widely referenced, in part due to its groundbreaking character, in other media. In fact, many movies featuring monsters put a Gill-man likeness in the background as a homage. More directly, the Gill-man appeared in the Robot Chicken episode “Shoe,” voiced by Seth Green. He tells a guy that he prefers to be called the “African American Lagoon.” Its likeness also was used for the film The Monster Squad. However, due to licensing issues with Universal, the creature is referred to as “Gill-Man.” Ben Chapman introduced the creature in costume with Abbott and Costello on live television on an episode of The Colgate Comedy Hour. Even earlier, in The Seven Year Itch, the film is referenced when Tom Ewell and Marilyn Monroe come out of a theatre showing Creature from the Black Lagoon. Monroe expresses some sympathy for the creature, saying that it was not really bad and “just wanted to be loved”. The creature plays a brief cameo emerging from lake Springfield in the Simpsons in the 10th episode of Season 16.

Creature from the Black Lagoon was later made into a pinball game, designed by John Trudeau (AKA “Dr. Flash”), and released in 1992 by Midway (under the Bally brand name). This game has a retro 1950s drive-in theme. It also features such 50s classic songs like Rock Around the Clock, Get a Job, and Summertime Blues. Completing side missions in the pinball game causes the screen to display “Universal Presents… Creature from the Black Lagoon,” and then requires the player to chase after the monster just like in the film. The game sold 7,841 units.

The film has been immortalized in paleontology circles. When Jenny Clack of the University of Cambridge discovered a fossil amphibian in what was once a fetid swamp, she named it Eucritta melanolimnetes, which is Greek for “the creature from the black lagoon.”(via Wikipedia)

Thank you to the alert readers who pointed out that August in WhoreLore is probably wearing something designed by Louis Fleischauer for AMF Korsets. I think the model pictured here is named Sashi and the photograph is by Karen Hsaio.

Goodness, the Blue Blood VIP members area passed 100,000 images while Sexy Fandom was sort of on hiatus. It seems like only yesterday when I was buying my first copy of Blue Blood magazine at a science fiction convention vendor booth. I guess it was actually sixteen years ago. Where does the time go? 100k is a really impressive number of genuine, artistic, erotic, on-topic, cool photographs of interesting-looking people. I think it is a nice touch that Blue Blood chose to pass the 100k mark with a photo set featuring Blue Blood magazine covergirl Cherry. It is impressive to be able to collaborate with some of the same people for so many years and have those people still be so very hot. Cherry is such a beautiful girl.

Gothic.net is a site with literary horror fiction and gothic community forums. The site currently features fiction by Thomas S. Roche, Amelia G, Christa Faust, Maria Alexander, Clint Catalyst, and David J. Schow. Gothic.net has a number of features to help similar sites promote. I have signed up for the Gothic.net topsites and the Gothic.net banner exchange.

Chad Savage, master of the Sinister Visions Banner Exchange, is an accomplished horror artist, best known for his Halloween and creepy clown art, but who also draws sexier fare such as his Raptor and Larvae series. If you are looking for spooky fonts, he has a free font collection of his original work at Sinister Fonts. Yes, I am biased in favor of his fine work.

If you do not get the play on words in Sean Abley’s Fangoria blog name Gay of the Dead, I’m not sure you are reading the correct site. If you get it, Sean Abley is the creator of the Socket movie and he is writing a column on a gay view of horror. Some of the entries include depressing information such as that teen idol Wesley Eure from Land of the Lost was fired for being gay. The blog is at its best when Abley’s sense of humor shines through. A favorite entry of mine is when he explains how he justified the Friday the 13th box set as a press freebie he needed for writing for The Advocate: “Jason is the gay horror fan’s Judy Garland. A “special” child forced into the spotlight by a domineering mother. In the beginning controlled by the powers that be with little or no regard for their personal well-being. Then incapable of living life without the crutches—a bolt of lightening to get up in the morning, an ax to the head to get to sleep, a vicious cycle impossible to break. In middle-age driven to the spotlight in a pathological quest for the attention that has become their sustenance. Then a string of “comebacks” even though, in their mind, they never left. And in the end, gone far too soon, leaving the world to wonder where they might have gone had their talent been left unchecked.”

Sex and Submission has a mad scientist theme this week! Here is how the submissive clone thing would go: “Beverly Hills works in a scientific laboratory with colleague Mark Davis. After rejecting his advancements, Mark takes a sample of her DNA and creates a genetically modified human clone with submissive traits. He then presents this scientific breakthrough to a room full of scientists who take part in his kinky sexual demonstrations. Together, Mark Davis, Mr. Pete and Harmony gang bang Beverly Hills in this exciting and action packed story line update. Including bondage, squirting, double penetration, gang bang and lesbian sex.” This is porn at its most creative from the medical fetish set with the clothed scientist team viewing the naked clone to the forced orgasm gang bang to the flowers placed in inappropriate places.

AltPorn.net has a bunch of new writers since last I kept up. One is Beda Hoydenish who just did an interview with the inspirational Amelia G about her new AmeliaG.com site and the state of altporn.

My favorite part of the interview is where Beda Hoydenish’s question about the origins of the Blue Blood moniker lead to Amelia G explaining some of her manifesto and you have to admire someone who still finds important things to say with breasts in her face: “The name Blue Blood is sort of a play on words with the blood for vampires and gothic spookyness and the blue meaning erotic as in blue movies, but the blue blood phrase overall connoting a certain tastefulness and strength. Especially in 1992, when I founded Blue Blood, it was very common for alt-identified people to feel like they had to accept second class citizen status. So the strength aspect is really important to the core manifesto for me. The most important message I would like readers or members to get from Blue Blood is that purple hair or tattoos or having kinky sex or otherwise living flamboyantly does not mean you are not entitled to the rewards of the larger society.”

The LA Weekly has a gallery of forty of their best photos from the Comic Con. I think my favorite was the steampunk animatronic girl costume and the Wonder Woman costume in the same frame. Sums up some of the factionalization at the Comic Con this year. The most extreme example of warring factions was the huge turnout for the Twilight programming coupled with the protesters carrying picket-style signs and heckling the lines for the Twilight panel discussions. Wonder Woman and steampunk girl represent different sorts of costuming, but they both look happy in their photo which is nice. According to the LA Weekly, the steampunk presence at the Comic Con was so large that the Guinness Book of World Records came out to take the record-setting largest steampunk gathering photo on the steps of the convention center.

Speaking of Amelia G and Blue Blood, this week Amelia G launched a personal site at AmeliaG.com as a sort of central space for her varied works. I like that she collected up her blog entries from different sites and combined all of them from the last four years on AmeliaG.com. My favorite part of the site is her photography portfolio which features many of the bands who do the science fiction and comic book convention circuit, including The Misfits, gODHEAD, and Combichrist. The personal pics section is also really fun. The professional photos are captioned, but the snapshots are not. Some people of fandom note I am able to pick out from the casual party pictures are Sean Abley from Socket and Gay of the Dead, Chris Wylde from Film Fakers, Clint Catalyst from America’s Next Top Model, one of my very favorite authors Thomas S. Roche, and Chewbacca.

I am back from the 40th anniversary Comic Con. It feels like every year the show sells out earlier, the best panels get harder to gain entry to, the temperatures get hotter, certain fanboys smell stronger (you know who you are), and I make more deals for more money. This year saw the addition of some fans protesting that Twilight ruined Comic Con. Because, before Twilight, there were no over-sized movie studio booths taking over the place and no script writers like me going to the show just to get work. /sarcasm. A really nice aspect to this year’s show was the emphasis on the history of the show. The special 40th Anniversary Guests page on the site for the convention has really nice bios of a lot of the Secret Masters of Fandom who made the Comic Con possible. For bonus sexiness, my favorite bio on the page is the one for the most famous scream queen ever, who apparently was knocking them dead at the Comic Con as a teen: “Brinke Stevens (aka Charlene Brinkman) wowed audiences at the Masquerade in the 1970s with her choreographed dances. She served as Masquerade coordinator in 1976–1978. She is best known as a scream queen and has appeared in more than 100 films. “

The overwhelming majority of dystopias have some connection to our world, but often in an imagined future or an alternate history. Furthermore, the dystopia was brought about as a result of human action or inaction, whether stemming from human evil or mere stupidity. A far distant future where the heat death of the universe makes human life difficult is not dystopian, as human beings are not responsible for entropy.

Dystopian societies usually exhibit one or more of the traits on the following list:

* A Utopian society with at least one fatal flaw.
* An apparently Utopian society, free of poverty, disease, conflict, and even unhappiness. Scratching the surface of the society, however, reveals exactly the opposite. The exact problem, the way the problem is suppressed, and the chronology of the problem form the central conflict of the story.
* Social stratification, where social class is strictly defined and enforced, and social mobility is non-existent (see caste system). See, for example, Brave New World’s prenatally designated Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons.
* A nation-state ruled by an upper class with few, or no, democratic ideals. Note that non-democractic societies are commonplace in historical fiction, fantasies taking place in historical settings or fantasy worlds, and in science fiction, particularly in planetary romance and galactic empires, but few of these societies are regarded as dystopian. In these cases, the hierarchical structure is a result of economic and social forces implicit in the society. The lack of democracy becomes a dystopian feature when the government is clearly imposed by force on a citizenry capable of self-government, particularly when the government hold some pretense of democratic ideals, as when children of the Party members in 1984 are admitted to the Party based on a test, while non-Party members’ children simply vanish if it appears they would pass the test.
* Conversely, a ruthlessly egalitarian society, in which ability and accomplishment, or even competence, are suppressed or stigmatized as forms of inequality, as in Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron”.
* A bloated welfare state, in which total freedom from responsibility has encouraged an underclass prone to any form of antisocial behavior, and productive contributors to society, particularly those trying to escape the underclass, are burdened with taxes punitive in effect, if not intent.
* Total control by the state of all economic activity. Private ownership may still exist, but the owners are controlled by the state. Black markets may exist, or not, but on the whole, freedom to engage in economic activities is severely limited in these dystopias, which may suppress any form of innovation as disruption, as in Ayn Rand’s Anthem.
* A totally or near-totally socially privatized world without a democratic republican state or with a state that only serves the business sector – business and private contractors own and control all of society and social organization, as in the movie Blade Runner, The Fifth Element and most Cyberpunk literature, as well as comics like Hard Boiled by writer Frank Miller and artist Geoff Darrow and the Judge Dredd series created by writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra. There are usually many “small dictators” – essentially competing corporations and robber barons instead of one leader, with either a single police force that makes sure the system runs smoothly, or many small police forces hired by each corporation. Individuals with no wealth or social power are suppressed and miserable.
* State propaganda programs and educational systems that scare most citizens into worshipping the state and its government, in an attempt to convince them to believe that life under the regime is good and just, e.g. Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta.
* Strict conformity among citizens and a general assumption that dissent and individuality are bad, as in We, where people are permitted to live out of public view for only an hour a day, and are not only referred to by numbers instead of names, but are neither “citizens” nor “people”, but “numbers.”
* A state figurehead that people worship fanatically through a vast personality cult, such as Nineteen Eighty-Four’s Big Brother, We’s The Benefactor, or Equilibrium’s Father.
* Fear of, or disgust at, the world outside the state.
* A common view of traditional life as primitive and nonsensical.
* Alternatively, complete domination by a state religion, e.g the Sisterhood of Metacontrol in FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions, the Technopriests in The Incal or fundamentalist Christianity (with elements of reconstructionism) in Escape from L.A..
* The “memory” of institutions overriding, or taking precedence over, human memory.
* A penal system that lacks due process laws and often employs psychological and/or physical torture, e.g. Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta.
* A lack of the key essentials of life for many citizens, as with food shortages. If the cause of this is clear, it is not natural disaster or crop failure, but deliberate engineering.
* Constant surveillance by governments or other agencies.
* Absence, or total co-option, of an educated middle class (such as teachers, journalists, and scientists) who might criticize the regime’s leadership.
* Militarized police forces and private security forces.
* The banishment of the natural world from daily life, as when walks are regarded as dangerously antisocial in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.
* Construction of fictional views of reality that the populace is coerced into believing.
* Corruption, impotence, or other usurpation of democratic institutions.
* Conversely, a strict majoritarian democracy, which tramples on the rights of minorities, or continually sacrifices the well-being of society to maintain the majority rule, or both.
* Fictional rivalries between groups that actually operate as a cartel.
* Insistence by the establishment that:
o It provides the best of all possible worlds;
o All problems are due to the action of its enemies and their dupes.
* An overall slow decay of all systems (political, economic, religion, infrastructure. . .), resulting from people being alienated from nature, the State, society, family, and themselves. Yesterday was better, tomorrow will be worse.

In dystopian societies, the economic system centers on stability and is structured so that the government or the economic system is immune to change or disruption. Usually, the industries operate at maximum efficiency and capacity, and then the excess products or currency is absorbed in some way by the state. In Nineteen Eighty-Four, people are put on rations, and excess production is absorbed in the “war” that is always occurring with either Eurasia or Eastasia. In Brave New World, excess production is sucked by extreme consumerism, encouraged by the government. In the One State depicted in We, there is no currency or exchange whatsoever, either inside or outside the walls of the society, but everything is provided to the people. (via Wikipedia)

The new Dead Siren blog asks the question: What is the difference between Fandom with a capital F and simple imagination and are either a bad thing? And one of the editors called Sexy Fandom “just my sorta site.”

IGN, now, just like MySpace, owned by the very savvy folks at FOX has its Comic Con galleries posted now. They have them broken down into convenient categories like The Babes of Tokyopop and Final Fantasy Figures.

Galleries of pictures taken at the record-smashing Comic Con 2006 are already starting to post. ComingSoon.net has more than a hundred photos although most are not of people, but more importantly the booth babe galleries are starting to post, such as this Flickr gallery by Greg O’Connell, as reported by Comic Book Conventions.

I pleased to be able to report that Mars Dust, the well-dressed fandom web site, has printed a prototype of a magazine they hope to do. Their first issue covers psychobilling and horror rock, Bruce Campbell, cosplay, Star Wars artist Sara Wilkinson, and Wonder Woman model Diana Knight of Blue Blood fame, and an article on how to become a spaceship entrepeneur and perhaps help Molly have weightless sexual relations. Okay, the last one is really just how to become a spaceship entrepreneur and I admit I read the rest into it.

I have heard that you don’t count as rich until you own your own jet. Well real estate tycoon Robert Bigelow is raising the bar. He has committed five hundred million dollars towards attempting to make my dream of zero gee sex come true. Technically, the owner of the Budget Suites hotel chain has so far only funded the launch of a space-faring Russky balloon, but it is a scientifically important balloon in the journey towards creating the first commercial space station, which is the ultimate goal of Bigelow Aerospace.

A forthcoming movie called Goya’s Ghosts chronicles the life and times and painter Francisco Goya. It particularly focuses on a muse of his, played by Natalie Portman. Said muse gets accused of heresy by a monk. Supposedly nude torture scenes ensue. Yes, fanboys, Padme Amidala only gets naked if torture is involved. (Those of you who wish to bone up on electrodes to the vulva can head on over to Wired Pussy for an education.) Natalie Portman has an entry on Mr. Skin which still contains only sexy, bikini, and the coveted underwear rating. No nudity. Apparently, Darth Vader’s lover made the director of Closer leave nudies of her on the cutting room floor. So it remains to be seen whether torture is really enough of a motivator or whether Goya really has a ghost of a chance of a naked Nat.

Fun Trivia has a section devoted to science fiction fen. The first quiz is on Classic Science Fiction Novels and I just want you all to know that I got 25 out of 25 correct. I just want you to know you are in expert hands with me here. (via Blue Blood)

This week, The Independent published an article, by their Washington Correspondent Rupert Cornwell, which asked whether human space exploration is really such a good idea. Arguments against manned space exploration were that it was more expensive and unwieldy than robotics and that there would be an inevitable loss of life from time to time. Arguments in favor of using humans, rather than machines, were that people can sometimes do better research and make proper repairs in ways machines can’t. Also, “The drama of watching men and women explore new worlds appeals to something basic in human nature.” They left out “Molly Case has always wanted to have sex in zero gee in front of a window on the stars.”

Okay, I probably was not really bought out by the Sci Fi Channel. Most likely, I was just annoyed at the way people are trending towards a repulsively mercenary attitude. Like they think doing anything for the joy of it is stupid. That stuff just sort of discouraged me for a while.

But this weekend Entourage had a character insert a highly collectible Shrek doll into a hooker. I couldn’t let that pass without mentioning it. Still viewable on HBO On Demand this week. Now that’s quality television.

There seems to be much debate on what the word chode means and why it is funny that the captain on Tripping the Rift answers to Chode. The Urban Dictionary has a raging debate of 333 definitions for the term. Most people, meaning those who do not spend all their time engaged in flame wars on UrbanDictionary.com, agree that chode refers literally to the perineum, the location between a gentleman’s scrotum and testicles. In colloquial use, calling someone a chode tends to mean you think they are an unsmooth idiot or at least acting like one. Some men find it comfortable to use various commercially available powders in the chode region in order to prevent chafing. That is all you all need to know about what Stephen Root meant about what a chode is. You can all stop emailing now. Future debate on the definition should be directed to UrbanDictionary. Thank you.

Today Lucasfilm announced the licensing of a new line of “Adult” Star Wars novels.

“While the movies were still an ongoing project, it was important to portray all aspects of the Star Wars universe as wholesome family entertainment,” said Lucasfilm spokesmen Dirk Merdespieler. “However, now that the cycle of films is done, we can finally broaden the Star Wars franchise into marketing niches we’d heretofore avoided, and adult entertainment is at the top of our list.”

One of the first new licenses was awarded to longtime Star Wars novel publisher Del Rey Books, who will be putting out a line of Star Wars adult novels. Del Rey announced that the first book in the line would be Slave Girl of Tattoine by Barry Malzberg and Mike Resnick.

“Yeah, Barry and I had an old porn novel called Arab Slave Harem we’d never managed to sell, and it was pretty easy to alter so it fit in the Star Wars universe,” said Resnick when the two authors were reached for comment.

In the background, Malzberg could be heard laughing maniacally as he typed away at the updated manuscript.

“Instead of an Arab slave caravan, she gets captured by the Sand People and sold to Jabba the Hutt.”

“Hahaha! Banthas!” exclaimed Malzberg.

“Anyway, after some 200 pages she gets rescued by a young Luke Skywalker. All in all, its probably the easiest $50,000 Barry and I ever made.”

Del Rey’s publicist indicated that they were willing to look beyond traditional adult themes, and were willing to pay top dollar for works to fill what were previously considered niche markets. As proof, she cited the hiring of Pulitzer Prize winner E. Annie Proulx to pen Brokeback Falcon, a novel which explores the forbidden love between Han Solo and Chewbacca.

“The Star Wars universe is almost 30 years old,” said Merdespieler. “It’s high time our fans learned there’s more to life than comic books and action figures.” (via Locus)

The Museum of Hoaxes has a listing of the top 100 April Fools Day pranks. Included are the BBC convincing people that spaghetti grows on trees in Switzerland or Discover Magazine describing the new hotheaded naked ice borer species in Antarctica which could bore through ice using the heat of the blood vessels near the bony plate in its head.

It is pretty common for people to forget it is April first and believe various peculiar stories printed by their favorite, usually accurate publications. So I’m only amused and not disturbed that so many of you believed that Sexy Fandom was acquired by The Science Fiction Channel. I’m a little disappointed, however, by how many people wrote and told me essentially to stay strong against any sell-out criticisms because, no matter how much the blog got sucky, the important thing was that I was making a lot of money.

While I’m touched by your concern for my finances, I already make a lot of money. I do this blog for fun. I’m a TV writer, so obviously I’m for sale on some level, but it would take a whole lot of money for me to sell. This is supposed to be my venue to explore things I couldn’t normally. So, while I’m not wholly closed to being showered with cash, I would hope my readers would care if the character of SexyFandom.com changed. Money is nice, but it is not an excuse for bad behavior. If it were, then we wouldn’t have laws to put bank robbers in prison.

Once the sale of Sexy Fandom to the Science Fiction Channel goes through, I’ll be doing a lot more coverage of stuff like what I’d like to put through a Stargate and how Rose McGowan has matured as an actress on Charmed and a lot less coverage of where to find robot sex slaves and holiday-themed photos of freaky girls. I think the move in a less mature audiences direction will be fine. I never showed nudity on this site anyway. It will still be me writing the blog, just for a whole lot more money.

Sam Sugar, of Sugar Bank and related fame, is a very funny man. His post yesterday on 10 Lies Pornographers Tell had me in stitches. I was particularly amused by “1. Porn stars are breaking into the mainstream” and “9. Art Porn,” the latter of which included the beautiful explanation “Bach was a better composer than Yanni, and Monet was a better painter than Thomas Kincaid. If you disagree that’s not an opinion, it’s proof you’re an imbecile.” Now I’ve seen art which I felt appealed to the prurient interest, or at least made me wet, and I’ve seen adult material which I felt attained a higher level.

But naturally the debate in the comments section on SugarBank is not about the nature of art. The debate is about “8. Alt Porn. Traditionally porn performers get paid a fixed daily rate, don’t get any residual pay and have no real control over the product they’re in. The product itself features skinny white girls from the flyover states who get hired because of how they look and how they fuck. Or is that alt-porn? Janine’s been rocking tatts and attitude for a decade while raising two kids without ever being labeled ‘alt’ anything, while ‘alt porn’ darling Joanna Angel recently said on camera “…does the fact I’ll let any stranger cum on my face but won’t fuck a black guy make me a racist?” Er… yes it does Joanna. A tattoo and a bad dye-job is not going to upset ‘the system’ and the ‘alternative’ to traditional porn is independence, control and new ideas not haircuts, piercings and hip records.” But what about a really good tattoo and a really good dye job?

But the debate isn’t about how good a dye job it would take to facilitate true change. Someone named FurryGirl starts going off about how she disrespects her affiliates and mainstream porn. Never mind that on her site she openly states that the only photographers she would work with are those “emailing from a major adult entertainment company.” On SugarBank, she continues to slag everyone within striking distance with “don’t get me started on how painfully cliche most of the photography is on goth/punk porn sites. Haven’t we all had enough of pale goth chicks licking knives menacingly or masturbating in cemeteries?” First off, I will never get enough of pale goth chicks with weapons or tombstones. Secondly, I’ve seen a good number of what would count as the goth or punk porn sites on the web and I’ve never seen a set of someone actually masturbating in a graveyard. This suggests to me that, at the very least, the execution of such sets can hardly be trite, them not existing and all. So Forrest Black from gothic punk erotica icon Blue Blood jumps into the fray stating that FurryGirl “can kinda fuck off” and “There is an air of irreverent DIY independence connoted by the ‘altporn’ term or label, and I simply can’t accept the idea that traditional corporate product can live up to that notion. Then again, I think that term was originally coined by corporate interests eager to exploit the tattooed and pierced teen market space.”

Once the dust settled, Sam Sugar and Forrest Black had agreed that Janine Lindenmuller and Belladonna have got it going on and the brilliantly insightful Sam Sugar had coined the expression altsploitation, saying, “just like blacksploitation movies had little to do with changing the role, or perception, of blacks in Hollywood. Alt is only as ‘alt’ as the system that produces it and most of it’s as mainstream as anything.”

And I’m left really annoyed that FurryGirl is just a girl from the amateur porn niche who only shaves a little bit and not, as I’d hoped from her moniker, a women who has sex in a colorful furry animal costume.

How very pleasant to be finishing up the week here with news of Fatal Beauties, featuring some nice artsy photos of some very cute tattooed girls. (via SpookyBlog)

Ethnorotica waxed most eloquent on the topic of drawing manga females.

“I have to come clean here. You see, in junior high I fell in with a bad crowd, a group of multi-racial misfits who studied martial arts, collected manga and anime, went to comic-cons and traded duffel bags full of illicit hentai. Luckily for me I eventually discovered girls and thus spared myself a lifetime of collecting little figurines and living in my parents’ basement. Others weren’t so lucky.

It amuses me that years later the fodder for my adolescent fixations has suddenly acquired coolhunting cachet. We in America like to poke fun at the Japanese for their use of Engrish and their appropriation of the most ridiculous bits of American culture, but I’m quite certain they feel the same way regarding our fetishizing of “deviant” Japanese sexuality and otaku culture.” (via Ethnorotica)
