Do It Tonight! Throw Away Your Novelty Toys

photo by Foxtongue You might think “novelty” means “nice, fun sex toys,” but you’d be wrong. It’s actually a legal term for products not intended for serious use. And thanks to A) bullshitty obscenity laws still on the books in some states (we’re talking to you, Alabama), B) no government regulation overseeing the safety and […]

Do It Tonight! Break Out the Body Paint

photo by psalms133 Who wants to paint the town red when you can stay home and paint each other?

Art Imitates Life on, Um, Dancing with the Stars

So we were catching up on our train-wreck viewing on Tivo last night and saw a bit of Dancing with the Stars (we know, we know, but it’s like sequined crack!).
