Thank you, UK television, for keeping me apprised of all the things I didn’t even know I was curious about. The new Channel 4 documentary that’s blowing my mind is about “maskers” or “rubber dollers,” men who dress in female, silicone body suits (complete with boobs and vagina) just for “fun.” As far as WHY “masking” is a […]
If my suitcase bursts on the morning commuter train, it would be a more dramatic moment than for most. If a dapper businessman doesn’t drop his coffee all over my designer rubber wardrobe, the poor girl behind the tea trolley may slip on a ball-gag. From the expressions on the faces of everyone else, I am […]
Ughhhhh, he is infuriating, I thought as I scanned Paul*’s Facebook page. There were new status messages — “carboloading” — a recent video of him performing, and links to new posts on his blog.

Today in strange dating surveys that someone commissioned to promote an app: “dream dates” and imaginary beverage orders. Huh? Yes, exactly. What exactly qualifies a “dream date?” I’m not sure because it’s not specified. And who’s put thought into what their “dream man” or “dream woman” will be drinking? Not I. But if you have, […]
Thanksgiving is soon and you’ve got a dietary need to accommodate! What do you do? Do you just go ahead and eat the desserts your hosts are offering, regardless of what your stomach or health or sense of ethics dictates? NO! Of course not! Instead, you can bring one of these specially-curated desserts for everyone to enjoy. […]
