No matter where you find him, in whatever role he's playing, you can bet he'll be kitted out in something fashionably weird with clashing colors, always stylish in his own eccentric way, from his ever-changing wild hair to his wickedly cool shoes.<br /><br />"It's all about the shoes," says Stan, “The feet cannot be denied,” and he means it! He's written a four-book saga about shoes and sex called Shoe Leather. He's published five other erotic novels and penned dozens of quickie reads on everything from spanking with shoes, cupcake sex, voyeuristic orgies, sex on planes, to techno-rave group spankings on the dance floor. He hosts In the Flesh — a monthly erotic writing and reading performance salon at Hustler Hollywood where he also DJs. The Los Angeles Times described his monthly performances as "Combination moderator and lion tamer." He’s also written award-winning social commentary, science, humor and travel articles.<br /><br />When not banging out hot words and cool stories Stan is a professional rocket scientist traveling the world keeping communications satellites operating so they can beam porn (as well as other useful things like news and music and sports) around the globe. He's testified before Congress and the White House about private space exploration. He organized a grass-roots effort to keep the Viking probe on Mars operating when the government wanted to turn it off for lack of funds. The Wall Street Journal called him "The Mars Man."<br /><br />While Stan may have won many awards for his rocket science work he doesn't look like an average engineering nerd. He’s often asked what band he's in. The closest Stan has come to strutting rock and roll on the stage is playing it as a DJ and creating and running the nightclub One Step Beyond, which in the 80s transformed the San Francisco South Bay Area's Silicon Valley into a cool music haven. Bands such as The Ramones, Iggy Pop, Deborah Harry, Erasure, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many others you never heard of called its sweaty walls home. The club became a launching pad for many local bands that made the scene as opening acts. While One Step Beyond has long since closed, the club’s legions of dancing fans continue the vibe today with more than 1500 Facebook fans still pogoing.<br /> <br />Stan Kent — Sex and Rockets and Rock and Roll — that's the story so far. With interests and pursuits as diverse as his wardrobe, he's a 21st Century renaissance-punk-about-town, born in England, escaped to America and earned his degrees in rocket science from Stanford University with general studies in creative writing. His great-great-grand aunt was the fourth victim of Jack the Ripper. He plays cricket every chance he gets to put willow on leather or bowl a maiden over on a sticky wicket. He loves shopping for shoes and clothes and hanging out where ever cool music is played or danced to.

The book was featured on the cover of the New York Times book reviews section, and this is your chance to hear it live and meet David Henry Sterry the editor and star in his own right having published Chicken and Master Of Ceremonies.<br /><br />REVIEW FROM PUBLISHERS WEEKLY<br /><em>"The sprawling project, grouped loosely by topic (Life, Love, Money, Sex, etc.), offers insight into seemingly all aspects of the sex trade: high-profile celebrities like Xaviera “Happy Hooker” Hollander and Nina Hartley make notable contributors, but it’s the unknown writers who will stick. The selections from the book’s closing section alone, written by members of Sterry’s San Francisco writer’s workshop for sex workers, range from triumphant to harrowing... Aside from exposing the complex web of relationships among phone sex operators, dancers, massage parlor workers, prostitutes and their customers, the book is heavy with raw emotions ranging from celebratory to shameful, giving sociologists plenty to ponder. It’s not all dark and heavy: Sterry’s own account of his experience as a birthday present for an 82-year-old grandmother is touching and sentimental; veteran performer Annie Sprinkle is characteristically blunt, funny and<br />honest… This volume houses some real gems."<br /><br />Hos, Hookers, Callgirls, and Rentboys is a collection of short memoirs, whore war stories, confessions, nightmares, journalism and poetry. It contains new writing from sex worker literati: art-porn priestess Dr. Annie Sprinkle; the infamous Happy Hooker, Xaviera Hollander; author and LGBT activist Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore; starof The Devil in Miss Jones, Georgina Spelvin; best-selling memoirist David Henry Sterry and sex educator/movie star Nina Hartley. But it also includes crack hos, male hustlers, pimps and the teenagers they exploit. Funny, terrifying, tragic and inspiring, this collection of oral history, short memoirs, war stories, confessions, nightmares, social criticism and poetry is unprecedented because it includes people from all walks of the sex for money world.<br /><br />From back-alley Tenderloin massage parlors, to glittering Beverly Hills hotels, to Times Square porn palaces, to the meanest streets in Harlem, Hos, Hookers, Call Girls, and Rent Boys is a collage of sex and money, shining light on this hidden underbelly of America, from sea to shining sea.<br /><br /></em><br />To give you a feel for Hustler Hollywood's In the Flesh stellar array of sex worker talent here are their bios. Please come out, buy the book and have them autograph it for you.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqU8ZR0596wLXX5juEi97BeBssQJDTaCsC2yrQ9ZpoWirjj6i_pemzPwI4DGb_71ipeebldYWlLdpwtcp6cxBPm6q5RqGDfEQFGQK7MAMdfyA9atlyDpMGv7Xn87jHaVMeINj3FY0lxK0/s1600-h/aa.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 212px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379277141257685394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqU8ZR0596wLXX5juEi97BeBssQJDTaCsC2yrQ9ZpoWirjj6i_pemzPwI4DGb_71ipeebldYWlLdpwtcp6cxBPm6q5RqGDfEQFGQK7MAMdfyA9atlyDpMGv7Xn87jHaVMeINj3FY0lxK0/s320/aa.jpg" /></a><br /><div>ANASTASIA ANTHESIS was born Anastasia Krylov in Moscow, Russia, and left when the Soviet Union fell.

She began her professional career as a chorus girl in New York and was featured in the Broadway productions of Guys and Dolls, Sweet Charity, and The Pajama Game. She made her first movie, The Twilight Girls, a softcore lesbian film, in 1957. When her friend, actor Harry Reems, introduced her to adult film director Gerard Damiano, Graham moved away from the mainstream into porn. The stage name she adopted is a variation on George Spelvin, a name traditionally used as a pseudonym by stage actors. Though Spelvin is known to have appeared in a few sexploitation features during the late-1960s, she became one of the best-known figures in hardcore pornography for her starring role in The Devil in Miss Jones in 1973. Spelvin went on to appear in over 70 adult films, before retiring from them in 1982. In addition, she appeared in the low-budget exploitation film Girls For Rent (aka I Spit on Your Corpse)--for which she also served as costume designer--and made cameos in Police Academy and Police Academy 3: Back in Training. These were "straight," mainstream films, but she was cast as a hooker; the audience was expected to recognize the well-known porn star. The practice of fellatio was also implied in the films. She also had straight film roles in Bad Blood, in which she was credited as "Ruth Raymond," and Next Year in Jerusalem as well as guest starring roles on the television shows Dream On and The Lost World. Georgina Spelvin epitomized the era of porn chic. In 1973, Robert Berkvist, writing in The New York Times, commented that "'Miss Jones' is as familiar in [the respectable and well-to-do New York suburb of] Scarsdale as she is on Broadway."<a name="Known_personal_life"></a> After her retirement from adult films, she became a computer graphic designer until retiring from that at age 65, in 2001. In 2004, she made a cameo appearance in Vivid Video's remake of The Devil in Miss Jones, which it titled The New Devil in Miss Jones. In 2005, she was interviewed for the documentary film Inside Deep Throat. As of the third week of February 2008, she resided in the Los Angeles area with her husband actor John Welsh and was working on her autobiography, titled The Devil Made Me Do It. <a name="Autobiography"></a>In May 2008, she published her autobiography, The Devil Made Me Do It, and appeared on camera in a short web clip announcing its release to her fans on the internet.

King edited “Where the Girls Are: Urban: Lesbian Erotica.” The just released Cleis book features memoirs and stories of country girls’ travels to the big city and their subsequent eye-and-thigh opening adventures. The <a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler Hollywood </a>cafe was the perfect setting, offering us some tastey sweet morsels to sample while listening to the similarly succulent fare.<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWOoD7J01KZcxZkT8crJc-cgpppQkX7sozj7CUn02To5_uCyLe57bmBhiHSEk7phTMzUb_BzQ3q64bKm3T76pDFuiPP9amt2rKDCx76KNdDt4MxAEi43gOUr4Qp24HZ1ypVTcC1DoJ4kU/s1600-h/authors.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378948318773604002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWOoD7J01KZcxZkT8crJc-cgpppQkX7sozj7CUn02To5_uCyLe57bmBhiHSEk7phTMzUb_BzQ3q64bKm3T76pDFuiPP9amt2rKDCx76KNdDt4MxAEi43gOUr4Qp24HZ1ypVTcC1DoJ4kU/s320/authors.jpg" /></a><br />The evening got rolling with Kate Bradean reading “Don’t Fuck With Country Girls” that featured revenge sex, a bartender and superbly evocative imagery like “her Botticelli’s Venus hair on the pillow.”<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiOKEfGbmgOXoWCpEZN_0easqGd5JU7eqcIrU9VDje_y0JizdZApwKJoiprDsWBq98_VptVxkN9ghLV1oXTbzTOaRDIQeK29qd8bOJFBmG4OGxyiZTuOZL8R3OWMGTrnlzuoDmLKh8hW4/s1600-h/kate.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 155px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378948954208680386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiOKEfGbmgOXoWCpEZN_0easqGd5JU7eqcIrU9VDje_y0JizdZApwKJoiprDsWBq98_VptVxkN9ghLV1oXTbzTOaRDIQeK29qd8bOJFBmG4OGxyiZTuOZL8R3OWMGTrnlzuoDmLKh8hW4/s320/kate.jpg" /></a><br />After dollops of such luxurious phrasings it was time for some good old fashioned phone sex from guest phone fantasy artist Sophie Mouette who really is Teresa Noelle Roberts calling all the way from the East Coast. Sophie/Teresa is the writing partner of Andrea Dale who was also reading In The Flesh who is really Dayle A. Dermatis. What is it with all these aliases? Is the writing really that different? Hmmmmm – I sense a topic of discussion coming up one of these In The Flesh nights because it’s hard to keep straight who is who and who wrote what, but I guess that just adds to the mystery – and confusion. Sophie read “On Display,” her voice dripping through the phone as she recounted a story centered around an art gallery display and the sexually vivacious Mrs. Farnsworth. </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV2ic_ka2FkwSCRFxnrY2BF2qzDDH2HsCVth2NQW91PcnNt7niWG5G3ZdZHxZIx9czLzzuqC2xidbX3HrOs46qtaS5bZi84zQhv263qO4q9dX9lCV9ePwlx8vcVKxNpnHSkSPxxrBuyGA/s1600-h/phoner.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 193px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378949206074074210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV2ic_ka2FkwSCRFxnrY2BF2qzDDH2HsCVth2NQW91PcnNt7niWG5G3ZdZHxZIx9czLzzuqC2xidbX3HrOs46qtaS5bZi84zQhv263qO4q9dX9lCV9ePwlx8vcVKxNpnHSkSPxxrBuyGA/s320/phoner.jpg" /></a><br />Next came the <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed Reviews of the Month </a>which was created and run by D.L. King who was here In The Flesh to read her own story from “Where the Girls Are.” The reviews were discussed and debated especially since one of the reviews was from Kate Bradean who focused on the difference between porn and erotica. She claimed the difference is telling rather than showing, a scene rather than a story. Do we agree? Don’t know – I was too busy one-hand reading – which we all agreed is the reason why we produce erotica/smut/porn – it is to excite, to titillate, to sexually stimulate in some way – that doesn’t mean necessarily getting wet or hard – but making you think about sex and planting a few seeds for later reaping – every pun intended. The subject of length also came up and it was generally agreed that sometimes it can be too big – as in 437 pages long being too much to hold in one-hand.<br /><br />Andrea Dale aka Dayle A. Dermatis <em>a.k.a</em> so many other writers read "Queen’s Up." It was a tease read about a woman having to save the homestead where Andrea elegantly and precisely set the scene but didn’t give us the money shot and refused when prodded, saying we had to buy the book to find out what happened. Hasn’t she ever listened and learned from Leonard Cohen’s “Don’t Go Home With Your Hard-On.” </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE5wWgZDP_c_zazFIrl-l64Yg2JS4YxcqH0LRakbnayFAKGQN10Tc6VNXe5qq8_JK5YCdgavXDsbkKpxOMo6OjkH2zlNnK311FEqSukfXEzdENsHQ3uctILcimTmS-LPGYzhEOjJr9g6Y/s1600-h/dayle.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378949668144157938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE5wWgZDP_c_zazFIrl-l64Yg2JS4YxcqH0LRakbnayFAKGQN10Tc6VNXe5qq8_JK5YCdgavXDsbkKpxOMo6OjkH2zlNnK311FEqSukfXEzdENsHQ3uctILcimTmS-LPGYzhEOjJr9g6Y/s320/dayle.jpg" /></a><br />The final read was our honor to host D.L. King and she did deliver a steamy tale called Chantal and it was hot as the blazes, full of good erotic descriptions and good old cunt dripping detail. We finished on a very high, hard and wet point. </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivgDFLAqD-_25P5gcaNNd3U82wCjY4G8-YODY80VoYEoD2ubMHC8Aal8IxLi5mqjbx_qSwHorjJBSvtTOA4kaXOnw5boib6TKRlZi75qZrYXuVx_WLIQLtS3zhlQb2YmTUgacONPxEKW4/s1600-h/king.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378950072629549842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivgDFLAqD-_25P5gcaNNd3U82wCjY4G8-YODY80VoYEoD2ubMHC8Aal8IxLi5mqjbx_qSwHorjJBSvtTOA4kaXOnw5boib6TKRlZi75qZrYXuVx_WLIQLtS3zhlQb2YmTUgacONPxEKW4/s320/king.jpg" /></a><br />We gave away Hustler swag bags to those audience members bold enough to display their reading talents.

Celebrating not just the freedom to say fuck in a crowded room but also 35 years of <a href="http://www.hustlermagazine.com/">Hustler</a> magazine publishing, all of the stories read demonstrated how lucky we are to be able to express ourselves erotically, uncensored, and that we should take every opportunity to do so. In that regard, In The Flesh thanks <a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler Hollywood </a>for giving us the venue and the support of all the staff to let sex writing in all its wonderful forms ring out on the second Wednesday of every month.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 167px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359650716247476354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOpVxyFhgHkNBjQzuZ4d0O501seLB755FmVFicaOIZPxIV31kYYIEBz1N7AvqORDRbSXRt3IqTyRKCeNnPKRlilN3ErHVnfuyGdiFXOJUqk-sDEPwF37kW8VgJ52u2gkL7DzS6hbugHgg/s320/Dayle_Dermatis_frontal_audience.jpg" /> Our first freedom sex tale came from Dayle Dermatis reading as Andrea Dale popping her reader's virgin cherry with a scintillating delivery of "Fanning The Flames" from the sizzling Playing With Fire anthology edited by <a href="http://www.alisontyler.com/">Alyson Tyler</a>. It was a tale of a woman trying to break free from a relationship and came with great imagery describing the simple pleasure of a man's face in her cleavage and the release of 21 smacks.<br /><br /><div>Next I (<a href="http://www.stankent.com/">Stan Kent</a>) walked the audience through the <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed </a>reviews of the month engaging the crowd in a discussion of why do we read erotica - "to excite, stimulate, titillate, entertain - get off" was the consensus and while realizing the subjectivity involved therein we took strong exception to the statement of one of the Erotica Revealed reviewers that "The fact is that most erotica is deliberately devoid of ideas, stylistically clumsy, and grindingly lacking in talent or vision as a result." From our experience at In The Flesh, nothing could be further from the truth. In a month where we celebrated Freedom Sex, the reviewer's statement dismissing most erotica seemed censorious,pretentious posing that smelled of jaded erotic snobbery rather than celebrating the diversity offered by titiilating tales from one-hand readers to classic works.<br /></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 261px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359656185836817330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYHrVK6fFGLLpN7Mq0GiNYJ8_0YafL7_J3mjhvMuttqbJO5WdiCWh0KKNeycv4yS_0hw-Ca9bHFm2Sgt0JuPkDq6NM67CQ8ALzq7iP8X6Ab6neSptFv1gnCfnGHqghW-n0n6GoRJdNiVY/s320/Alyson_Mead_frontal.jpg" /></div><div>Our next read from Alyson Mead was a joy of discovery that started slow and hit like a bolt of lightning. She read from her forthcoming novel, Swallow, painting the vivid picture of a guy, Swallow, who just can't seem to connect with women but he has a teddy bear named Fucker. Enough said. As the encounter between man and bear played out looks of guilty recognition shot around the room. This was a tale of the freedom to fuck-up and find redemption in the unlikeliest of paws - I mean places. We can't wait for the publication of Swallow and look forward to celebrating its release at Hustler Hollywood's In the Flesh. Bring your own Fucker.</div><br />Next it was time for Phone Sex from Donna George Storey who read a very steamy passage from Amorous Woman courtesy of my Blackberry speaker and a phallically poised microphone.<br /><br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 308px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359656476700380210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-dhKhDK2wLR0YeKDEXS0IhRLGRrbxQdgWC57ZSvCpiJ2Ua63-82wErz1wMZxGDtwu9Ne8X1HNl6dh-_U1CVj-RkWMWz1BofQvwybWQgzC4TZAOHrP3ybeFEKgVCRd-Lb0eCDo7wFhciY/s320/donna_amorous_woman_phone.jpg" /><br />Donna was really good at giving phone and described in dripping detail her preferred outfit for when she needs stimulus as in writing or in this case, reading her words over the phone. A picture is worth a thousand words - so here you go. This is what Donna was wearing as she captivated us with her true-life inspired story of an American woman discovering her sexual nature in the Floating World of Japan. Next time you read at In The Flesh in the flesh, Donna, we except you to be so attired in your inspirational garb...<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 230px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359658430347191810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxFLDyfG-l5wd1K835PSdP3gqk8ioSEX_P1qdUjw_msMJ3rc7CLZcE8b6r9ZwdjAGj6ht4QSIeKJqKFkoKN93F08IbOWz1Vr3tETAe0ftHopzQkWnmNxoJIE5_ezUt1S67Giwacn05CQA/s320/donna_corset1.jpg" /><br /><br />Bringing up the rear of our Freedom Sex night was <a href="http://www.loadworldcomics.com/">Sam Saturday</a>. He read his erotic poetry to an audience who was simply blown away. Sam's words were a hilarious and beautifully crafted demonstration of whey why we do In The Flesh. While on the surface very Dr. Seuss-like in rhyme and pacing, Sam's poetry, especially the anal variety, showed that you've got to have the sexual vocabulary to pull it off. We'd all just love to be flies on the wall when he's bouncing his work off of accomplished erotica writer and girlfriend Eden Bradley and his two cats, Sasha and Xev and his Teddy Bear...<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 208px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359665270067893970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrdmJLBOqJ5db6Jg4EPiY_Yfr40-h8_JdkcspoBEYTGBse3QXxBjpU0L0q2aPOL77Sgk2GDksHqIJi1DzuCLIgp3xmqtUk7wiowGIPbmpxrPjz5SfMU_nxjBPJmoHsnFr79nYFkaJfM6I/s320/sam_rear_audience.jpg" /><br />The room full of smiling listeners buzzed from Sam's erotic poetry so I issued the challenge to the audience - a swag bag full of Hustler merchandise to the soul bravest enough to come up and celebrate Freedom Sex by reading one of Sam's poems - chosen by Sam. At first it looked like no one would rise to the occasion but then stood the valiant Tim and read well inspite of the audience chuckles that permeated almost every naughty word. Never have we heard so many words for the bum...<br /><div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 261px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359838991340385442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT3wzK3K0fpzkfKlIvQTaKa_otdsivtEbv0QoZIp8GoTFkyewuxaTQZIo7hLslAaSyuKy9KwQxRWy8Vp6eOp2yjDBMg8F04oO78zMHNRK2hWBKsFSshyphenhyphen-xxT2tf1SBpUXNj11xDniiGAU/s320/tim_sam.jpg" /> We munched on some tasty Hustler cafe nibbles, and as I played some appropriate music (Queen's "I Want To Break Free" for example...) the authors and hosts gathered under the beaver mag display for a group photo. And now is an appropriate time to mention that the next In The Flesh will be on August 12 and will feature lesbian erotica from Where the Girls Are and Girl Crazy. You can bring your favorite Fucker if you like...<br /><div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359840433898085394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVdsFhTMN1WclySG_pSlHekzPN0Z3w51cVpee17VA_wyuLpQnMrGBKhECFIxBh8jQw5nOKnbht3nQJmAGC27ASZEe-JOUa5K0owcCdqwqYuzxxvC6v9zg4YbAxZ2b8D2BJ63Vti982k4A/s320/authors.jpg" /> </div></div>Stan Kenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15317720432448695975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967605776002593332.post-3148980363874235262009-07-05T11:44:00.001-07:002009-07-05T12:05:25.381-07:00Celebrate Independence Day with FREEDOM SEX<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Even though the BBQs are over and the fireworks have already been lit, we're going to keep the fire going with some readings that will make you glad you have to ability to keep on celebrating your freedom.

The traditional LA overcast June glooms may have been clouding the skies and chilling the temperatures but at Hustler Hollywood it was Hot, Hot, and Hotter as <a href="http://www.edenbradley.com/">Eden Bradley</a>, <a href="http://www.jolenehui.com/">Jolene Hui</a>, Patrick Julian and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/alisontyler">Alison Tyler </a>(giving darn good phone sex) gathered at the supermarket of sex on Sunset Boulevard where many celebs go to get their caffeine and sex fixes. In The LA Times Penn Jilette of the Penn & Teller weirdo magician show revealed that when in town he stays at the Four Seasons and likes to hang out late in the flesh at the Hustler cafe drinking decaf espresso. Now that's a good trick, and one you should do too, only do it when In The Flesh is in session - every second Wednesday of every month at 8pm! And could it be a coincidence that the next Showtime episode of the Penn & Teller is devoted to the orgasm.<br /><br />And for my next trick I (<a href="http://www.stankent.com/">Stan Kent</a>) opened the evening with some hot summer sex-inspired spinning as the crowd gathered, of which there was a lively bunch thanks to our great authors getting the word out that they'd be getting their words out - In The Flesh.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 231px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352013337950636818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJUHGDjHsZw2imNXTkvwxEsjxwuwqqCOjoBYWsMT2d3zi3gvmjcfzO-RR_vN8ZFOjL74IJvnluYTslpFHEqIgLLeD5qUfpLw7otAGfuhGlqGzGRFxUotAolqwec7q-T0E2Pe6v4W_Eb7U/s320/Stan+DJ+Books.jpg" />I opened the readings with the <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed </a>review of the month - Boy Crazy - Coming Out Erotica and we had a great discussion about whether heterosexual people could/do get turned on by gay porn. It was thought-provoking in terms of what makes for good smut regardless of gender or sexual preferences and lead perfectly into the fist author reading from Eden Bradley, who'd shared that she likes to watch gay porn because you see so many more hard cocks than in regular hetero porn. She had quite a crew of supporters with her who along with the rest of us enjoyed the tasty nibbles and drinks courtesy of the Hustler Hollywood cafe. The Hustler cafe staff, lead by Alex, do a great job of hosting In The Flesh. It was cool to see the scrolling lighted announcement of our In The Flesh reading series flash across the wall above the register area. All the books were in place thanks to Hollie and Alex and the stage was set for some hot summer sex.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 198px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352013933334631922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE60bXuon_Zdnk8_85TxcrQSJswVk5G-tbq2m92fivujkjky4HWoRsJ_EtsZn_Fwzr8MWqoHspUfmKNz8smLDeL65YAb3CuAbgJ20FAVLukJfAMJkghPptGZPs_DCQ5Kf_Qjh5R0IbqEE/s320/Eden+and+Friends.jpg" />Eden treated her fans to a delightful story called Soul Strangers from the aptly titled Harlequin Spice <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Naughty-Bits-Invitation-Invite-Soul-Strangers-Gilt/dp/0373605382/">Naughty Bits </a>about sex with a tattooed stranger on a beach. Eden's delivery was captivating, all the more remarkable because she'd mysteriously thrown her back out of whack just a few days before. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm????<br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352018417251872322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiydQCOBavZdM5vAM0svnRD8h7P3CuYq3ynjEHsuzVb1BLSCHpwD1brAxj_XXViLSaf7eMAlA6oYgMqI8NIey3KT9KdSIe6DXE_hSp1nh1PPHETXYjLOPfUA94yBdzE-6KsGZiMXWacMUw/s320/Eden+Close+Up.jpg" />She apologized for not wearing stilettos as she is usually want to do - and we are usually wanting her to do - but the wedges she had on were still definitely sexy, especially when she revealed under pressure that she'd thrown her back out cooking an omelet. Yeah, right the crowd said, and Eden, who had already admitted that the story she'd read was inspired by true events (but just how much of it was real is left as an exercise for the audience) went on to clarify that her back was already acting up because of an amazing session with an industrial strength vibrator that her boyfriend had acquired to help with a stiff neck. The stiff part we bought but the neck bit a stretch right down to the cock more like...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_bf8QsplXias4U1AOmKkgvpN32B_X9g7mUlpndBlohgZKXkgUOJOK2r16Lp4ZGYmYn3QNi9uRzf5A5TG3r4RJlgAsk5mUZbldzZ09A9MgsEDqO7SofTRRl9OCXtL7Mc6h7Hk7osNY4J0/s1600-h/Eden+Full+Length+Reading.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 204px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352015477447829074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_bf8QsplXias4U1AOmKkgvpN32B_X9g7mUlpndBlohgZKXkgUOJOK2r16Lp4ZGYmYn3QNi9uRzf5A5TG3r4RJlgAsk5mUZbldzZ09A9MgsEDqO7SofTRRl9OCXtL7Mc6h7Hk7osNY4J0/s320/Eden+Full+Length+Reading.jpg" /></a> This was thrilling real life stuff that dovetailed perfectly from Eden's fictional story, and her frank honesty about how this plug-in vibrator had taken her from just plain horny to screaming, neck thrashing, leg melting, brain mushing, pussy soaking orgasm in about 60 seconds had us all wanting to join her. And Eden was ever so kind, accommodating and thoughtful and provides the link to where you can get one of these amazing machines and all that we at In The Flesh ask is that you tell us at an upcoming night how you made out with the masturbating monster of not just good but GREAT vibrations. And we provide this info with all disclaimers of liability if you too throw out your back, or your lover's back or lovers' backs as you launch yourself and them into permanent residency in happy land. No wonder Eden (and her boyfriend) had such smiles on their faces.</p><p>The beast beater is a <a href="http://www.brookstone.com/theraspa-turbo-body-massagers.html?his=2%7E46337%7E2%7Eroot_category%40kwd%7ETheraspa+Turbo">Brookstone Theraspa Turbo</a>-(it costs $50 and is also available on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Brookstone-TheraSpa-Turbo-Massager/dp/B000KEG77G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1246115717&sr=8-1">Amazon</a> and the crafty horndogs at Brookstone/Amazon give you free shipping if you spend $100 so buy two and give one to someone you love and lust after). Eden says, and we believe her, boy, how we really believe her, that her trick is to use the side with the textured roller ball.<br /><br />Next up was our own Jolene Hui, the always provocative and prolific co-host of In The Flesh-LA at Hustler Hollywood, and she continued the sex on the beach theme reading The Salsa Bar from the new Alison Tyler collection, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Playing-Fire-Erotica-Alison-Tyler/dp/1573443484/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246118308&sr=1-1">Playing With Fire</a>. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 145px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352028370991568290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ-ndqNpeLjiDeudEU6fKdygIyfsrlNuNtlX0dBKzFIoBIIof7JIkJnjhUelp3_SzIYxCgY3ALEYMNU1-6q_Ae8mB2GJBFfeh94cydVEUGT4-1HVfQwfEQFb4VcV5u5acGkXZbR93Ql94/s320/Jolene+reading.jpg" />And she also continued the true confessions theme revealing that her story was inspired by true events. The key word here is "inspired." Jolene was very inspired on a beach in Nice, but like Eden, she didn't reveal just how much of it was her very horny imagination at work and play. As with all of Jolene's writings (and readings) the imagery she uses is powerful erection or pussy wet producing.

And yes, Patrick's reading was likewise inspired by true events, and judging by the smile on his face and the way he was on the edge of his seat as he read (and look closely at the picture for the strategically placed Hustler Cafe menu sign and the scrolling In The Flesh announcement ) this was more true events than imaginative flights of fucking fancy.<br /></p><p></p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 262px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352032959858944610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidr2nM0w6fZe69v2Hx_3KN_5UmW9V7Bena9RY-p5_gjJO9M4zdCvK1-MX7or_O4PxXyKGsDVs2yjMB_elr4qzXOCBMeCfmwbt7Eg7V1yYUDKtwA46XUW_At-zUDeiYxXdcTJfqA2beCG8/s320/Patrick+reading+ITF+sign.jpg" />Thanks to Hustler Hollywood we gave away some great bags of Hustler merchandise including copies of the DVD of "The People versus Larry Flynt," condoms and Hustler coffee mugs, so the crowd could go home, watch the movie, have safe sex and have a great cup of coffee afterwards (or before).<br /><p>The authors gathered in the magazine racks for a final shot of what was a night for of hot, true, sex stories and surprising revelations, but I gotta stop writing right now because I hear a buzzing and a screaming coming from the bedroom...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhujO6fTKtn4r8zoYIGhtC1WDD09Qy-dHR7ZLnu6yndnvnpDBhNHtGXA7pGi1DQR9D0YsO7JxlS9Tz9BWxKbDDr-1DWSWpb8mrAQ5VNY2WC-87Q7SJV75f7RgORet9XfCzAC2mD87RRex0/s1600-h/The++Authors.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 227px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352034381886040994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhujO6fTKtn4r8zoYIGhtC1WDD09Qy-dHR7ZLnu6yndnvnpDBhNHtGXA7pGi1DQR9D0YsO7JxlS9Tz9BWxKbDDr-1DWSWpb8mrAQ5VNY2WC-87Q7SJV75f7RgORet9XfCzAC2mD87RRex0/s320/The++Authors.jpg" /></a> Join us in July (July 8 - 8pm) for In The Flesh's night of Freedom Sex - fireworks guaranteed.</p>Stan Kenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15317720432448695975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967605776002593332.post-15625128233336752752009-06-03T19:07:00.000-07:002009-06-04T17:50:44.503-07:00Sizzling Summer Sex at IN THE FLESH<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">What do I think of when I hear the word "summer?"

As a writer, Patrick has published in both academic and pop media (and would like to thank Instinct magazine for that first shot in "Let the Breeder Speak"). His screenplays have won contest and festival awards, and a Bloods and Crips docudrama "The King of Watts" was produced in 2007. Patrick also writes for the stage; his children's play "Shadow gets a Black Eye" was an American College Theater Festival award winner, and a one-woman show that he co-wrote, "Inconclusive Woman", is scheduled to appear off-Broadway in the Summer of 2009. In addition to the script for "Inconclusive Woman", Patrick wrote the lyrics for two songs in the show- "Them Elmer and Geraldine Blues" and "The Vagina Song", and currently has a song on the 2009 release from electronica artist Bad Boy Bill.</span></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style=""><o:p><span style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">When he's not locked in his head writing or blogging for the Independent Television Network </span></span><a href="http://tomorrowpictures.tv/"><span style="color: rgb(151, 43, 0); text-decoration: none; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Tomorrowpictures.TV</span></span></a><span style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">, Patrick can be found listening to country music in ratty little bars around Los Angeles or camping and backpacking across the west.

Eager listeners crammed every available Relax It's Just Sex space, sitting on chairs and the stairs, standing, leaning, moving about as over 70 people packed the cafe to hear fabulous examples of why Feminism and Sex can be hot - very hot - and very thought provoking - which is why we do In The Flesh - and a very special thanks to Hustler Hollywood and all the staff for providing the forum for an open, uncensored exchange where "fuck" and "cunt" can be said with artistic impunity. <div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336927933888284706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 193px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE3JK95RiKrQmil72FYr5gFgAze26ibyN_THepEJvYKi7PhAyJ4_GfCEvceKUgd0_vTdlNpS6kbsWCniQMBPW6W7W407Wj5zxLPXuLY8sM01qy0l80XVRO9yxrgDIH-hlIAqkg151yl6Y/s320/crowd.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinnBiNfGP0X3fKhYA3C4nbtaoTSPRkpXhsmQVTltqW2Wv_mFR4wNtnLwHR4XBz5IWrfaDoAP6QaV8uI84lL6vYP8t-AAzutAi3282Ee7oLnli9TOZKY_jYRwO9h-t-2qsF6j2Mt6mBDR0/s1600-h/Stan_DJing.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336883122069133458" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 173px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinnBiNfGP0X3fKhYA3C4nbtaoTSPRkpXhsmQVTltqW2Wv_mFR4wNtnLwHR4XBz5IWrfaDoAP6QaV8uI84lL6vYP8t-AAzutAi3282Ee7oLnli9TOZKY_jYRwO9h-t-2qsF6j2Mt6mBDR0/s320/Stan_DJing.jpg" border="0" /></a>As the crowd filtered in I played some appropriate music drawing from the obvious No Doubt's "I'm Just A Girl" to Garbage's "Sex Is Not The Enemy" falling back to classics like The Nun's "Do You Want Me On My Knees" to more contemporary fare in line with the bold women of the Feminist Sex evening using Peaches' "Casanova" to lead us into the words.<br /></div><div>I began with the Erotic Review of the Month from the bold reviewers at <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed </a>. This month's review marked the two year anniversary of the site - which is an amazing accomplishment of bringing monthly, critical updates about all that's new in the diverse world of sex writing. This month's review of Maxim Jakubowski's Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica (Volume 8) was a fitting collection of erotica that showed how the dynamic of erotica has changed with the increase of female writers, but did come in for some criticism for not including more GLBT offerings. Reviewer Jean Roberta summarized the state of erotica and this book when she wrote "Desire, hope, mortality, greed, generosity, deception and illusion all mix together seamlessly in these stories, as does the comedy of sex and the tragedy of human loneliness. This is a book to be dipped into again and again. </div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336929225519426018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 251px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTQ4pCrHN8gRMC-KVlScTsvoyAKRUIXN9RGCs8NQ_V90nWHU48T8-fXBHoKH2MCwdR08VBTrBtiBbuWvNXSGBXj8kl1BiYp8emzD7k4SaGK4Tk0MxTXzx16xab18r5fz0Q9Obdt_xSpAk/s320/jillian_side.jpg" border="0" /></div><div><br /></div><div>And so began our dipping into stories with the return of Jillian Lauren to In The Flesh reading from her upcoming memoir "Some Girls". Jillian read an amazing tale of how she almost became a slave girl, and we're not talking in a SM dungeon in San Francisco where safe words end the session. She was talking about becoming a harem girl to a Saudi prince which could easily have been construed, given the environment as slavery. </div><div><br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336928614004690114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 215px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxiip_QkDS2XQCCd6ipWdW4rbNPdiQUhDFxBVEmPkoKrWglFYsQbHjHj5cAvw-H-nNZopAjbfrzFuEqemx5AGFPgHJo1_aywr8q09_rbtCpsft1hSOtL-j_EQrq4BVpd-AMZvOEhWKGNI/s320/jillian_close_up.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>Jillian's tale was captivating (every pun intended) as she described waiting for her interview in a small room and how she feared for her life, thinking that she might become one of <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxyh1smFX-rT83cgwPfWoKCRLLqsCSGzDysNUwKZKxRoeeL5rV2ugaA9NVPAobv-lkOKGWFDF5ZSHlxdGeqsVhZBgtoBOyd7TgsTk5zg3NCxfNEmEXk430hSRSD86peQzIRSthjNXrP8U/s1600-h/Jilliian_aerial.jpg"></a>those stories we hear about and wonder, "how could that happen."</div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336928812062171074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtszX-9QDu3ZXcuTwSnm7ouSaSMbyIrAmX-RqvdTnWo3RsB3sfaW7NNOStyOyUnOMJRF5V9Kz0_jRmWim_ZvK-a5NYHt0b0LQ_MHUTIrG9lfVroe8sH2TwciEKFXaGvVyZT8gZTHqNm9I/s320/Jilliian_aerial.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>What was amazing to hear was how the dynamic between them worked and while there was an element of contempt and complacency from the Prince, Jillian worked it to the point that once her stint was over, and she had returned to the US, she went back for another round in the harem. Now that's Feminist Sex by any definition...<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336929438109606402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 189px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbhzy-isT0AmpIBL6Zyv9iOo1WCGvrWQRIYDtMIQ83dC3tsTSBA6npcoNCc-L28Vek1HjNjjaps06m4yyDVzup1gBbg4YcaBcr5fsau6bUV43b3_PGGDAjoNhIwi3c_iiG6Daqxgru9OU/s320/Michele_reading_side_smile.jpg" border="0" /><br />Our next reader was the delightful Michele Matheson who describes herself as a recovering child actor having had roles in Mr. Belvedere and Life Goes On. She is the author of the enticing "Saving Angelfish" and read from her upcoming novel, "The Failed Suicide of Cooper Tin." Michele was nervous but quickly found her stride in the classically gorgeous heels she wore for the evening. The excerpt she read demonstrated the same clever prose of Saving Angelfish with an otherworldly atmosphere that was part child-like fantasy tinged with a heavy dose of adolescent reality with dialog that zoomed off the page courtesy of Michele's skilled delivery. It was a beautiful read that teased the audience with the promise of a great book to soon read.</div><br /><div>Next up was our phone sex segment. This is where we dial up and out of town author and have he or she talk dirty to us as a nod to that good old tradition of letting your voice do the talking so your fingers can do the walking. Our guest this month was Michelle Tea, who would have been at Hustler In The Flesh but a family obligation thing prevented her journeying south, so we and she jumped at the opportunity to use modern telecommunications so she could be a part of the event that her writing has pioneered. After answering the obligatory "what are you wearing?" question with the titillating answer "panties." </div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336934169200896258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 258px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Te7cCut_GGnQO3lodZV9K6_lUSRpcIZqjmJ8VkTexklKclw67h6hTEXiaJNaWONSAvKavGHsCPuKMv65mMWz7qANgSR5L9lO1sgEKcVS7as4jKFSph4MQhHBaQLUJCnFX2G1Jc45QwU/s320/michelle_phone_sex_composite.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>Michelle read from Valencia and all we can say is she held a room of 70 people transfixed <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDcWIm2SID3yNg3UTPhtWe5RiFz0eRR-x7OaHiQpIx1OAiyXilkGGO51pZ3ri8ax0_EUjzXXVVXjYysw2R2V5lrK5PofigG_9sqW0AX9dac0TyHNr7cRy0JHbn0k7qN296uyn_Dk9zk0s/s1600-h/close-up_phone_sex.jpg"></a>to a small cellphone feeding her voice through the PA system. </div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336934350032374370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcNMGeE5r9vWO5NVRc9GkWafGbQrhcjdENRLJNDKBL5etrGVmzTJeDj5CtbnRzGzS1NJWAiXWd0-1BcPwF7wdcYp1CmQ7IcOKJvn4oFYp5ln1E5KBp2h2QscMCKqlCYbKWjDrh72pJmVk/s320/close-up_phone_sex.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div><div>It was sultry to the point of being smoldering hot, and I can tell you that with May as National Masturbation month there were more than a few people considering giving up an offering to the power of Michelle's sexy delivery.<br /><br />Following such a titillating tale wasn't easy, but our next reader fed off Michelle's delivery and gave a live increase of the sexual energy and striking imagery filling the Hustler cafe. Jessica Pauline is an example of what makes In The Flesh special. She saw the announcement of events and noticed the subject was Feminist Sex <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcy4zZ2eiVdcDQyYbWfB-sAhbwvNf41piAESxwaM9jsZ4pJw2xZNfZfXrKKGQG382hL-bVJPoJnRFtQDXu-gEMuyYiZoB-0-KcI6ZuxtJUrz0K9KEckDjxg5i9ytZ3eNm5jK_eZpmkArI/s1600-h/jessica_side_animated.jpg"></a>and contacted me with a topic and an offer to speak. Even though we were quite full we squeezed her in because at In The Flesh we believe in giving writers the forum to speak and it is our experience that listeners don't mind a full program when the enthusiasm to perform exudes from every pore. And that was Jessica. </div><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336931075467062738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 183px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPLLVfzJFZz0Z-JdMJNGNYM88rOCob815Gy4faGmPQpOCN2fHmHH8tDJHqw4cJwz6cpU-ZdEcUIhMAd7Xy7azdTYkaXVyvuJWS9PHJV3dnjo9O_mABVjYV6-v5sEOPDqF6VWJp5a64vFQ/s320/jessica_side_animated.jpg" border="0" />She read from an upcoming book about her experiences being a feminist stripper while working at Planned Parenthood. She took the stripping gig like so many others - because she needed the <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRMmO0-_E_Amdiw5rsBlqygKLDzDexQ8D7fnXzN7tDFoS1PCWisA1TMfauiJnDzj5NTFzxqQg2UaSgUMT2g5fibtxo-gL0SdiV6MyXYBngVLGoQwIwIvGVwZXtQaKWX2I9Xcld8Us1Nmk/s1600-h/jessica_side.jpg"></a>money and why wait tables when you can wait on lapdances. She told how she wrestled with her convictions, keeping secret her "night" job and how she evolved into the totally nude lapdance backroom side of the business. Having a personal knowledge of strippers and stripping I must say Jessica was spot on in her descriptions and delivery, including the priceless moment when she described rubbing her crotch on the outstretched leg of a patron, thinking that her mucous membranes were leaving their traces on his wool trousers for all the rest of Los Angeles to enjoy for free. It was in-your-face and in-your-crotch reading.<br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336931396821859362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 192px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieYYX0QeJMObUjeREU61rrgsvrXFnLDdv6itYBonrWh-pbE0Xccj4jskoa1Cf9_ujeQ_MVKFiBj01vXXHfVPWg1Oovv_pgrnil7Gj-obVmIlODJKTD6WlD51-zJgzTuzh-YVmWM1EiJro/s320/jessica_side.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>Jessica epitomized the take-charge sexuality of feminist sex when she then took what she learned from that experience and learned to hover a tantalizing short distance above the next lap, not giving it up while making it better for her and her audience. Jessica finished her reading to a thunderous applause and more than a few willing laps desiring her to come out of retirement.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJSyJtjW3ArsJ4boZNfB2CpmW6QBZnoePxccb676yZS4auDJQvEvrorVAQ91toaNMnoqohbXdggeMPsnHoiJkGSffyyVOheFegl3FTwPX1mmrbhv9tql5iafjlILTCHwR_nRQVVdne_sI/s1600-h/shira_side.jpg"></a>Our final scheduled reader was the organizer of the event - Shira Tarrant.

It was the infamous "Meat Grinder" cover on which Larry Flynt pronounced that Hustler would no longer hang women up as pieces of meat. Much controversy surrounded the issue and a lot of the satire and point of the cover was lost in the outrage of those times. Now, all these years later, thanks to the growing involvement of women taking charge of their portrayal in erotica, that pronouncement has come true with women dominating the industry and the marketplace.

Instead of reading an entire review in its entirety, which you can do just by going to the <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed </a>website, Kathleen focused on the themes that the reviews uncovered and challenged the audience to agree or disagree. </div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328710919458139746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 194px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbwR27IqVbvqCvCi5KUBtlg9BMjpgYZc_pLP_7jQns4FPqcTzjFYhlH6eS0LjHXE8IyXlpXhBLwFiooWdseGR3LfknEpIRhFJNhGVFhBBWdZX87r5aevf4qP8k4l4bQzj0J__3y32ixbo/s320/kate_bradean_audience.jpg" border="0" /> </div><div>It was thought-provoking, interesting and titillating to hear the responses, expecially from authors as to why they write erotica. Overwhelmingly there was a sense of giving life to fantasies that perhaps draw from some small experience that then gets embellished into fictional accounts and in that sense genre erotica writers have much in common with memoirists such as James Frey. I don't know how many times at readings I've been asked "Have you done all the things you write about?" and I respond with the standard "Well, do you think Agatha Christie killed all those people?" But Kathleen's discussion made me realize that for me the good erotica I like, and the good erotica I've written does have an element of truth, or real life to it. What about you? Come to In The Flesh and let us know what makes for good erotica for you.

He delivered the story with appropriate accents and emphasis indicating Tripp has much more to offer the erotica world, but he disappointed the audience by revealing he was not wearing his stylish leopard print underwear he had modeled for our upcoming events blog (see below to <a href="http://inthefleshreadingseriesla.blogspot.com/2009/04/writers-gallery-for-april-8-taxing-sex.html">Writers' Gallery for April 8 - Taxing Sex</a>)</p><p>Next up was our phone sex segment where we call an out-of-town author to talk dirty to us.

His short story, “Rita’s Red Sunglasses” was a finalist in the Creative Writing Series Competition at San Francisco State University, and he just completed a series of short stories entitled “Save The Robots”. Tripp is a graduate of the Trinity Rep Conservatory at Brown and for several years was a musician/singer song writer working with New York bands such as Action Faction, The Nads, Porky Darling, Wild Women of Borneo, Mermaids on Heroin, and other various underground projects until landing in California completely strung out on dope looking for redemption. After a number of stints in rehabs from San Francisco to Los Angles (where he met several celebrities), he had an epiphany that Hollywood was the only place left to reinvent oneself so he’s been writing ever since. He currently spends an inordinate amount of time on his online hook-up profiles but also on his first novel entitled “Mangina” as well as a stab at screenwriting – after all this is Hollywood “dahlings”.</div><br /><div>Inspired by his friend and mentor porn director Gino Colbert, Tripp will debut his newest character tonight endearingly named “Bunny Pickle” (his pet name for his most favorite ex), in her first adventure entitled “Stimulus Package” (in honor of this taxing season) which serves as Tripp’s first venture into this genre. Although this character is fictitious, her adventures are based on real life characters and experiences the author has sought in and out of the bedroom. He continues to research the project in various places of smut and lust and wants to say thanks to Craigslist LA and Jolene for bringing him here tonight. Please don’t be afraid – he’s actually a really nice guy and believes we all deserve a rich erotic life no matter what the orientation, gender, or fetish may be. Tonight he will be wearing a new line of underwear under the designer name Milili. Viewings are at the discretion of the author. Like we said - ya gotta love him.</div><br /><div>Now we're not sure what kind of print underwear the very prolific Kate Santineau will be wearing, if any at all, print or otherwise, because she promises to bring her purple flogger for the reading of an amazingly appropriate piece called "The Audit" that was in Best Transgender Erotica. It's told from the POV of the hapless IRS agent sent to audit the tax return of the infamous drag queen dominatrix, Mistress Sheila.</div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321829645804155986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3lRkyPkulbAjkjinE4k5xRmPIuc6DlZX_VQWwxHoG3oijrR7AuBaDNfDD2vo9Sihi_e3fXg_0SpVbOd1BFgEKpwnHlvIaW18ykHj3goJ7MHwCPxf6-PGJzhtZScsv9zKEuiQgwoM3S3Y/s320/Kate+Santineau.jpg" border="0" />Kate Dominic is a former aerospace editor and technical writer who now writes about much more interesting ways to put a Tab A into Slot B (or C or D or many multiples thereof). She is the author of over 300 short stories, which have been published under many noms de porn in three solo books, a wide variety of anthologies, magazines, and websites, and in several languages. She writes as a man and a woman, sliding up and down the Kinsey scale in whatever orientation the piece calls for. Her book, Any Two People, Kissing, was a 2003 finalist for the Foreword Magazine Book of the year in the category of short stories. Under a deep, dark penname, she has also been a finalist for Penthouse Variations' Baudelaire Prize.A graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Kate is a transplant to Los Angeles, where she lives with her long-suffering husband/research assistant ("Does a man feel what -- when?! Hold on -- I need another beer!") and a menagerie of cats and a very spoiled dog. She spends way more time than she should playing in a historical re-enactment group where her 15th century compatriots have no idea how she and her wicked quills spend their modern world days. Kate is currently taking a break from short stories and finishing a heretical novel set in 15th century Italy -- complete with intrigue, kinky costumes, and fancy family jewels.

We have a great line-up of erotica writers including Eden Bradley reading from her just released A 21st Century Courtesan, Tripp Mills reading Stimulus Package, and Kate Satineau reading a piece called The Audit about the IRS auditing a drag queen dominatrix. There’ll be the <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed</a> review of the month and a discussion about what makes for good erotica where your comments can make it onto this great website resource for lovers and producers of erotica. We’ll also have our regular Phone Sex segment where we dial-up an out-of-town author and have them read dirty to you. April 8 features the well-published Jeremy Edwards. More details with pix and bio to follow, but make sure you put our Taxing Sex night on your calendar.

The month’s theme was appropriately titled, March Madness – but had nothing to do with the balls normally associated to the phrase.<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316149575449104210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 204px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizbfCpv8FC1MSltrhPQy3hrkhHYM5gxNmCwQgdCV0pfItwtqhCtT0NS9XdORsynZTYTX-RbMVf7p81sXY1v99ZGZZiDOqwiaRry5yWHCy-8G_S2m4UbFmE01Fr5adnBvC-gUBMFcZMINU/s320/Group.jpg" border="0" /><br />Our In The Fleshers were (left to right) <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotic Reviewer </a>Kathleen Bradean, Arrested pervert writer Gordon Bressack, co-host <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.jolenehui.com">Jolene Hui</a>, co-host, reader and DJ <a href="http://www.stankent.com/">Stan Kent</a>, <a href="http://www.rachelkramerbussel.com/">Rachel Kramer Bussel</a> on Stan's phone and Jar, the man who found his way back to the womb and got a mohawk in the process. We had a great crowd to hear this mad crew this month, sitting close and trickling in throughout the evening. Goodies were provided by the <a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler Hollywood Café</a>. We all need a little sweet with our smut. </div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316147664580715730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 215px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjorE_Iy6HEdlkGAVCELfMdOgVxS1FErSwXtOT9BguZ2rxXaZd5CFZZjVqixRnFcX6-wIGdwrlpUFuR6K5-X6mQSdv9x-DhZ7_-J8z0Nh_DFIDmnMnDMOMRG7pXmTD97fg7RK7whriuEE4/s320/gordon.jpg" border="0" />The first reader was Gordon Bressack, a three-time emmy award winner for his work on “Pinky & The Brain” and “Animaniacs.” The original title of his story was “How I didn’t lose my virginity” but when he began he told us he really DID lose his virginity to a “Dirty Birdie.” We’re always a fan of virginity loss stories and the nostalgia associated with them. Especially when there is a dirty older woman involved!<br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316147829619689154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 164px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOHyh1FfNelT5sGIIpWN02xBiSObS2xgtFbuHo5sIt6_h8sOedPXHWRRhG32LF82jDL1FpwpMF6ggahCdGdjN37qYFtYrIH3nN2PYZtiNQCU1q2EmqgEvGOsJ4wVqcuNYfjax5px0fKrA/s320/gordon_close.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>We wanted to hear more about the time he was arrested for obscenity in Brussels (because the climax of the show he appeared in included a giant phallus extended over the audience that squirted water over the stunned patrons), but I guess we’ll have to hear that story another time.<br />Next up we all waited anxiously while Stan called <a href="http://www.rachelkramerbussel.com/">Rachel Kramer Bussel </a>for our phone sex portion of the evening. I’ve never seen a group of people so anxious for phone sex en masse. Due to some cell phone coverage issues, we anxiously watched as Stan was shot straight into voicemail a few times. </div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316148089313365682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 236px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqRTFKZErhjppHzUp6ewYgcPKFfLeNdwVQesUj3maIbqwc7FxQbE-Td6Lvux4irLChphG7KP4v9Qlj16Ys_eox1xLUKP4eL6XFfzlZF_56IlJO5y3RR_ZwNF-b0SNgCHDvACzksz91pKo/s320/phone+sex.jpg" border="0" /><br />When they finally synched up and the crowd cheered, Stan set Rachel (via his cell phone) onto a chair. The audience listened closely to her story from her recently released anthology, “<a href="http://donotdisturbbook.wordpress.com/">Do Not Disturb: Hotel Sex Stories</a>” She left us waiting with mouths agape when her phone dropped off for the last time. Something was said about spreading something, when…silence. I guess we’ll have to buy the book to read the saucy conclusion. </div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316148619121628162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinFqRA5bGmQaP_gIaQwjR7qni_3PxOFrzt4jq-0G584vdLZ7Dr6Rk7aYeueyl6p3CXMbFkFGt_68mS6O-bMSf5BtDu6PH4qWlfr3HhsMnH3lPRxiJW_Dy7tXM5diBYR0Tmy8d9K25_KPs/s320/review_kate.jpg" border="0" /><br />Following our phone sex session, Kathleen Bradean read a review, written by Ashley Lister, of “Ultimate Burlesque,” edited by Emily Dubberley and Alison Fixter. The review was one featured this month on <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed</a>. Kathleen also gave us some info on the site. Their reviewers live all around the world and bring us info on the plethora of literary erotica. Go to their site to take advantage of this resource.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316148894618026498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 259px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzEnfmEpxskbbWpOztJV8ZeLoRFovnIB_YqcJ9pwe3GFt_7jjQZblVCufCYSzCFhk0qaapaTlJMfAUY8zI6IAR7ykN-HkqTFBP946JLTUpSGKtK35jWInkWgkkJeo2DlHJ9agDT18eZfU/s320/jar.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>Next a fellow named Jar told us about his experience with a curvy woman. His piece got a lot of giggles and guffawing from the audience for his over-the-top and in-the-thighs descriptions. “Some Girls are Bigger Than Others” was titled after at Morrissey song. I don’t think anyone knew Morrissey could be so sexy and funny at the same time. This fun piece about being buried between voluptuous thighs was a result of a post-In The Flesh discussion after the last reading at The Rainbow. It pays to hangout after the Hustler festivities! This won't be the last we hear from Jar, unless of course he doesn't make it out from a pair of Cadillac-sized thighs.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316149051917308754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 264px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2omYeQyaI8pF6QGqfsi5WC_wgbvjxD2G2eG6MHaiNE3Rwt2XFnDmLjh2Fd0d3yqkGDF7GLEkILhWoquuva_boUkah6s4U9TPkwh1gohIw2CWbvbNx0i8I7Mrqt_GmL0-I3AV8lx1Kzi8/s320/stan_sex_4_one.jpg" border="0" /><br /></div><div>Our own DJ/Host/Man of Mystery <a href="http://www.stankent.com/">Stan Kent </a>read from Bussel’s “<a href="http://donotdisturbbook.wordpress.com/">Do Not Disturb</a>” anthology, his story, “From Russia with Lust.” If only every hotel view could be as sexy as the one Stan described, we’d all be living our lives out of a suitcase. Stan certainly knows how that goes as he arrived severely jet lagged from flying in from Australia the day before our meeting. Will there be a “From Australia with Lust” in the near future? One could only hope … and as you can see from the Sex for One bookcover so artfully composed into the photo by co-host Jolene Hui, <a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler Hollywood's cafe </a>has a great selection of sex and erotica books that are well worth popping down for a snack and some good smut.<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316149266352959618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6-QPBwUGyre8K84hl25eFdtwYEbL4X7NdmVxnJtqbQsN-Aehzr_n6fHAhZrEOOVXbRN1hwx2T7EzJUTMnwVy47V4wDCgCYWDnUOUXlMX5V6oOvVCCPgsZnjoaV_adjUxcn7CNG9b5IK8/s320/joy_narco.jpg" border="0" /><br />For our last bit, we had a couple of people up to the mic to tell us a sexy story of their own and win <a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler</a> merchandise gift bags in return for being so bold. Our first guest, Joy, told us of her fetish for having sex with sleeping men. We kid you not. Joy says her fetish has a name - narcophilia - and she's an expert practitioner. Seems she goes out with a guy, gets him drunk, they go back to her place and fool around until the guy passes out then she gets him hard (you can imagine how) and climbs on top and has her way. The guy doesn't remember much in the morning, which is just fine with Joy - and apt name if ever there was one. She says she does it because of the feeling of power and control it gives her. Sweet dreams, indeed... gives a whole new meaning to nocturnal emissions. We were all feeling a bit sleepy at this point and ready to follow Joy home but it was March Madness and our next reader took us down the rabbit hole ... </div><div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316150428465942338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 138px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNXeYUF_MizUSBLKW5l5vJJF4mVaJFj8ql4pKXeS5baZPKNvrS1J3H0CoOSWrRXBwllUpR6HTxsyeltVmjSv9HH6dvcd1TdnuRA6DcP65zDSjrWgzpw2nW2jQZ_79ldh1YM18OZ-whzwM/s320/talker.jpg" border="0" /><br />He was a fellow enamored with erotic cartoons which he described in great, great detail to an amazed crowd, proving that old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words.<br /><br /><div>Thanks to everyone who came out! We had a lively mad crowd and love to keep that energy alive and sparking. Please come out to the next In the Flesh next month. The theme is Sex and Taxes. Taxes can be sexy, right? All that slaving and sweating over numbers can really get ya going…. and then there's Taxing Sex which can be viewed as sex where you really burn off the calories or the IRS's latest way to balance the budget. Now there's an idea if you really want a Stimulus Package - give people a tax credit for having sex... </div><div> </div><div>That's Taxing Sex on Wednesday April 8 at 8pm with Eden Bradley and Tripp Mills live and Jeremy Edwards giving good phone sex at In The Flesh at Hustler Hollywood plus the Erotica Review of the month and another reader that could be you.

He is a three time Emmy Award winner for his writing on the animated hits "Animaniacs" and "Pinky & The Brain". He is also the recipient of the Writer's Guild Animation Writing Award for his work. This may not seem to make Gordon a likely source of erotic writing (unless you consider Smurfette one hot bitch) but the fact is that before his career in television Gordon was a member of New York's influential Play-House of the Ridiculous and La Mama Experimental Theater. He was arrested for obscenity in Brussels because the climax of a show he appeared in included a giant phallus that extended over the audience and squirted water over the stunned Belgian audience. He later went on to write and produce faux variety shows in NY including such acts as an S&M ballet troupe, Dildo The Clown and disgusting blues singer Two Dick Willie. Gordon is currently producing an online animated series "The Adventures of Penis & Vagina" which will soon be on a lap top near you. Look at this face and be wary, very wary...<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310715565329950322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZVx-EbUGkcHNwmqFYktTWVMPOl0hCSb8PjjaM_ya3ZctI_pROBnVSOXLgNDVE4XrntqLoqTEdlhYLSD4Oricz2YOBfjo8dVfxQNoxo4jWK6JoRqfYeQpbDiiEWIw0OwLyC6c5SMpS2Ms/s320/Gordon.jpg" border="0" />Next up is one interesting dude named Jar who was an audience member in January and now a reader in March. His story was inspired by Carolyn Ryder's amazing debut piece about Obama sex and the post reading discussion of sex with women of Michelle Obama's hip size that followed at the Rainbow. Jar confessed a love of, and considerable experience with plus-sized women and his enthusiasm was met with a thrown-down gauntlet to put it in words. The piece he will read - Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others was the result and it even features a Morrissey quote which will no doubt result in some kind of prize from Hustler for incorporating Morrissey into erotica.<br />Here's a picture of Jar so you know whether you want to avoid him in the Rainbow after the reading just in case you don't come by to hear his wonderful essay on the virtues of living life large.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmNzNDndxZPQ71yr230pxyH7MMxgZEjHYVwVmvZh9I6P30johruEQK337lXriZRZ_YxzR0w2ee0uDrxyFvVWlAdv1N5kFJ5Iu-zMOwos0qFx_kp38zOSE7Yn9leKDGDO7hvcPhVt6XHdY/s1600-h/Jar.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310714484136238402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmNzNDndxZPQ71yr230pxyH7MMxgZEjHYVwVmvZh9I6P30johruEQK337lXriZRZ_YxzR0w2ee0uDrxyFvVWlAdv1N5kFJ5Iu-zMOwos0qFx_kp38zOSE7Yn9leKDGDO7hvcPhVt6XHdY/s320/Jar.jpg" border="0" /></a> Like many people in LA, Jar was born during the "Camelot" years of the JFK presidency to upper middle-class parents who were members of a satanic cult masquerading as a religion. As a child, Jar would play with his favorite Hot Wheels or Matchbox miniature cars as silent blood rituals and black masses were conducted in the family basement. He and his two sisters were quite fond of the family cat and often wondered why there was always a new one and why mother always gave them odd names like "Lucifer", "Beelzebub" or "Baphomet". They also wondered why their family celebrated weird holidays that no one else celebrated, such as "Saturnalia" and "Lupercalia". It was a strange home to grow up in and little Jar had to contend with such things as waking up in the middle of the night and seeing the family dog, a black Labrador, staring at him motionlessly from the foot of the bed, or, being taken to the hospital to visit his older sister after she had tried to commit suicide by diving headfirst into a wading pool. At the age of 6 Jar took up smoking, procuring them furtively from the many cartons his mother kept in a kitchen drawer. Later on, in the teen years of self-discovery, Jar found he was moved by the soothing sounds of rock bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. He especially enjoyed their inspiring, uplifting lyrics such as "Oh no! No! Please God help me!" and "Shake for me girl, I want to be your backdoor man." Ensuing years of Jar's life up to the present were filled with hope and promise. His father describes them as one long, desperate attempt to avoid responsibility and have a good time. Yet, these years are perhaps best presented as a colorful, heartbreaking collage of bad choices, broken dreams, career missteps and aborted relationships culminating in his current peculiar frame of mind, which he describes as a "hard-won state of grace attained through drug-induced false salvation". Jar currently lives in Long Beach with his two cats "Azathoth" and "Belial"<br /><br />Then comes co-host Stan Kent reads his latest submission to one of Rachel Kramer Bussel's fabulous anthologies. This is inspired by his travels in Russia and is appropriately titled "From Russia With Lust," and yes it is based upon a true story! Here's Stan's picture and his bio, which is true... all too true...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglgitAec-HFbAkKAwWsmN2VYAVIUfTxJyiXF5LypQTDmcm-6NYopZApXHtqiZ3U5vH9nb2WEWWziuZqt0W9Z8YpHLeXqRNaW0CaV1ivDI6Y2N2hQI8MVA5B3T7r5Pf4Hl29zpKEN8z_BI/s1600-h/Stan.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310720220876024834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglgitAec-HFbAkKAwWsmN2VYAVIUfTxJyiXF5LypQTDmcm-6NYopZApXHtqiZ3U5vH9nb2WEWWziuZqt0W9Z8YpHLeXqRNaW0CaV1ivDI6Y2N2hQI8MVA5B3T7r5Pf4Hl29zpKEN8z_BI/s320/Stan.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>Stan Kent is a chameleon hair colored former nightclub owning rocket scientist author of hot words and cool stories.

Given all the craziness of the imminent Valentine's Day and Night and how mad busy that makes our home at Hustler Hollywood we decided to move our February In The Flesh into March and combine it into one gigantic March Madness In The Flesh on Wednesday, March 11 at 8pm - and just because we call it March Madness you shouldn't think that has to have anything to do with bouncing balls on a hardwood floor - unless, of course you're talking <em>those</em> kind of balls, and <em>that</em> kind of hard wood. We'll be featuring a story by Gordon Bressack titled, "How I Didn't Lose My Virginity," plus "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others," by Jar - a piece that was inspired by the last In The Flesh tale of Obama sex. Our phone sex guest will be In The Flesh East Coast founder and legendary erotica writer, editor and cupcake diva, <a href="http://www.rachelkramerbussel.com/">Rachel Kramer Bussel</a>, and there will be a reading and discussion of an insightful and sexsightful <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed</a> erotic review of the month. Couldn't be a Madder March - so put March 11 on your calendars - and if you'd like to read at In The Flesh drop hosts <a href="mailto:stan@stankent.com">Stan Kent </a>or <a href="mailto:s.jolene.hui@gmail.com">Jolene Hui </a>a note.Stan Kenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15317720432448695975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967605776002593332.post-45369725000235040862009-01-22T11:31:00.000-08:002009-01-22T12:56:12.933-08:00New Year - New Sex - New Format - Big HitChange came to In The Flesh with a new format and new, regular hosts for the series. <a href="http://www.stankent.com/">Stan Kent </a>and <a href="http://www.jolenehui.com/">Jolene Hui </a>took over from Carly Milne and introduced a couple of new features to the series - Phone Sex and the Erotica Review of the month courtesy of the <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed </a>website. <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /><div><a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler Hollywood </a>is our host for our monthly writers/readers/and any other perverts salon, and we can't thank <a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler Hollywood </a>and their staff (Theresa, Steven, Tameka, Cheryl, Hollie, Justin <em>et al</em>.) enough for the space.

Jolene entertained well in October and is now a co-host. Little does she know what she is in for... but judging by the story she read, it will all be very hot. Notice how she gets the microphone to stand up very erect.</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294206686885871970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9k092iXZ4bdPrH2w8Ys4cAZIdp6SP0p9LMDy3f-d6SIQbfIhCj5pWXqd1kOEMGaMNxs-DGGnkZWSY6L85MBXCz3Ez8iklrRBdGu3v3hF_agEEi3pDpBsnc1lopcHxHd8hGoOcVZ7Whp8/s320/Jolene_side_close-up.jpg" border="0" />Jolene read a spicy lesbian story. 'The New Neighbors' from Ultimate Lesbian Erotica 2008 by Alyson Books, edited by Nicole Foster. It set the standard for 2009 in hot words, cool stories for all to follow and had more than a few of the audience squirming in their seats. In her own word, "Sometimes I don't realize how graphic my work is until I'm reading aloud in front of an audience in a very public place. " Now there's a story to be written and the basic reason why we work our butts off to bring you In The Flesh. Erotica authors need a place to expose themselves and their work besides all that time spent on the computer, reading to the cat or other loved-one(s).</div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294208292797155154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBl29XXuvx8LXtwsvd3lpQMUBl2PMz6mZeAXPBtNnZWnEk04TnnWqtlA_GX2w2QslZ9WOLCyCmMYGhOxo8cY1obW3YVp6gKQ82yClkO0AycljO-a44eU1nXxLWaCu_MN7_UfLTUIGZRkc/s320/Jolene_reading_phone_sex_chair.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>If you're wondering why there is a cellphone sitting next to Jolene on a chair as she reads, then keep reading and all will be revealed. Next we unveiled a new feature. It will be a regular monthly short segment where we have one of the reviewers from the <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed </a>website read a review, promoting what we hope will be a lively discussion of what makes good one-handed reading material. To kick the series off Stan read <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/reviewer.php?id=2&first=Steven&last=Hart&panel_id=0">Steven Hart's </a>humorous and insightful review of 'Frenzy: 60 Short Stories of Sudden Sex' edited by Alison Tyler on Cleis Press. Steven made the point that short and sweet can facilitate great sex writing and that lead to the next feature where one of the authors from Frenzy (who was sitting in her bedroom on the East coast wearing ...) read her story over the phone. <a href="http://www.dlkingerotica.com/">D.L. King </a>captivated the audience via cellphone with a wonderful night-time story to keep the night rolling - 'Hard Wet Silk.' Made us all want to jump a stranger on Sunset Blvd., and the audience loved this new feature as you can see. If you want to be one of our phone sex operators and read your stuff over the phone then contact Stan. Just be prepared to tell us what you're wearing...</div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294210478921382946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGcwLs3x1GLvQcA7NFAaLP-aq10K1BJreaKr2Jjk8AZTt-9dNf5TJaSGEiOrbkZ4rPE1ZeBJIbzEwsGJ9UY46m_R7x-LFXEeJgKp8zGC7e-2jdEXtmpDakgFytbK3chYG1oCJwyJk2UcM/s320/Audience.jpg" border="0" /> </div><div>At the end of her story D.L. King let the audience know that she's compiling a Vampire Erotica collection and to submit stories by February 24, 2009. And to encourage all of you to put something together we publish the call here and pledge to do a night of vampire erotica at In The Flesh - probably in October...</div><div> </div><div><em>D. L. King is looking for super-erotic vampire stories<br /><br />The allure of the vampire... There’s no denying our fascination with immortality, with the eternally beautiful, strong and sexy. Creatures who take what they need; stealing the life force from those unlucky enough to cross their paths—or possibly those whose luck leads them to the most thrilling experience of their lives. What makes these lust-filled creatures so irresistible to our kind?<br /><br />We’ve seen lots of romantic vampires of late. Those aren’t the ones I’m looking for. I want blood quickening, heart pounding, dangerous, intelligent, maddeningly beautiful, hot as hell vampires. I’m not looking for love, or maybe I’m looking for love in all the wrong, bad, scary places. Think of beings whose carnality can’t be sated, innocence caught in lust’s snare, those who can’t help taking a walk on the dark side. Send me something different; something we haven’t seen before, something molten. <br /><br />This anthology is primarily heterosexual, but I’ll consider GLBT stories. Remember, no underage characters, please. Stories should be between 2,000 and 4,000 words, double-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman or Courier New. Please indent the first line of each paragraph one-half inch and do not include extra lines between paragraphs.<br /><br />Send your story as a .doc or .rtf attachment and include the title, pseudonym (if applicable) and your legal name and mailing address to vampantho@gmail.com. Subject line should read: Submission: TITLE. Please include a 50 to 75-word bio and direct any questions to the same address. Original stories only. You must own all rights to any reprints.<br /></em><br />Okay, meanwhile, back at In The Flesh ...</div><div><br />Colleen O'Hare read the next story - the story of the loss of her virginity - 'Fresh Fish: A True To Life Accounting of the Role Cod Played in Losing My Virginity.' Which will probably win the prize for the longest and most curious title of any In The Flesh reading this year. It made us all laugh even though it had a true fishy stench. She was extremely animated, which she said was her way of controlling nerves, which to Colleen we say 'don't control that energy!' It was great to see and hear such a performance. It's what reading erotica aloud is all about. Good sex reading - like good sex - should be frenzied, loud and definitely out-of-control!</div><div> </div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294211295325174146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigxX168hsLzpg-dB7LcBKYUIp5ez74YA4gEGeqxw49FY9zI7mfGtYxaTRcHf3NO8IliHqLwW-u3-DehV752bCpjSHs0tEaDQOPXa64G_C3XZQKZNX-NiMGmE0qvzAhBQ-nddPFedF65Lo/s320/Colleen_reading.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="http://www.carolineryder.com/">Caroline Ryder </a>made her first-time erotica reading/writing debut telling us a very sexy story about the newly appointed first couple ... her first whack at erotica worked well, giving us Secret Service hidden camera view into the Michelle and Barack's bedroom. </div><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294213742433998082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 288px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 316px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn7UArRPIznvaan0rjb9YyzEsUAa33qAXAj3fjNZArHOR3yWRSsm5wLTwVzjxSCY4w9dKeCDjiqMkWSQAB6Ik2aQxZeotd4cswgXiW3d9GEmu3RAfHquiMPod3VyWzmMOEoX1VH_3VgRw/s320/Caroline_side_close-up.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div><div></div><div>It was about half-way through the story when it became clear who the couple were, and the conceit worked perfectly.

She's been known to write a horror column for The Flesh Farm and a hockey column for Inside Hockey. One of Tonto Books' first authors, her literary fiction has been published in their Tonto Short Stories, Tonto Christmas Stories, and More Tonto Short Stories anthologies. She's also been published by a variety of newspapers, magazines, websites, Cleis Press, Pretty Things Press and Alyson Books. Her short play "Addendum" was produced as part of the Northpark Playwright Festival in 2003 and her short play Feather and Magazines premiered as part of the San Diego Actors Alliance Festival in 2004. She still holds onto her dream that she will one day be the mother of a Standard Poodle and frequently daydreams about cheesecake. She is based in Los Angeles, and she'll be reading an excerpt from 'The New Neighbors' - which has been published - in Ultimate Lesbian Erotica 2008 by Alyson Books...edited by Nicole Foster.<br /><br /><p>Our next reader is Colleen O'Hare and she's going to be reading a story with a title that I predict will win the In The Flesh award for the most intriguing (and long) title of 2009 - "Fresh Fish: A True to Life Accounting of the Role Cod Played in Losing My Virginity." And I'm sure after trekking through that title you'll want to know more about the mind and fingers behind that teaser. Well read on ... After attaining her masters in commercial writing and strategic branding, Colleen O’Hare began her career as an advertising copywriter. Her work won many awards including The One Show, Communication Arts, New York Festival, Show South, and ABC-TV's "The Funniest TV Commercials You've Never Seen." Now a television writer/producer and comedian, she has worked for many shows, including “Blind Date” and E! Network’s “True Hollywood Story,” and most recently for ReelzChannel’s “Secret’s Out,” “What It Takes,” and “The Checklist.” She also developed, produced and directed “Feed-Back,” a series of comedic short segments for Food Network, and helped to establish the tone and format for Style’s first red carpet coverage of the Golden Globes. A finalist for the ABC/Disney Television Comedy Writing Fellowship, her humorous articles have appeared in The Onion, and her one woman show, “Damaged, but Not Dead,” was chosen for the prestigious First Look festival, with successive engagements in New York, Atlanta, San Francisco and Los Angeles. She’s performed stand up at the world-famous Comedy Store, The Punch Line, and The Ice house, studies with The Groundlings and Improv Olympic West, and has appeared in numerous commercials and films, and oh yeah, cod had something to do with her becoming an ex-virgin.</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290949129772025298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjemMEnZFc6ofOGOMAc_MIhQpnk3fUc5oWky3SY692sFH1_bLF9RW-IdQLOA9pWEDhFVpXqYcIivwscWe9gtsXyx1nk6ZGzbkcMzAeYt4xMnn8_0l-r6RpYFXTCmFx0dGVvPac3r7GNXWY/s320/coh1-small.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>This crop of readers for the Inaugural 2009 ITF-LA is turning out to be an eclectic bunch full of interesting personal experiences. Our next spinner of sensual prose is <a href="http://carolineryder.blogspot.com/">Carolyn Ryder </a>and she actually had the pleasure of interviewing Larry Flynt himself a few years ago for Swindle magazine. She remembers he seemed entirely disinterested in the interview until she asked him what his favorite part of a woman's body was. "Her cunt" he said (of course!), and was cheerful for the remainder of the interview. She is a style writer and deviant-in-training (sounds like she's already graduated to me...) She is originally from London and moved to Los Angeles five years ago. She has covered fashion and entertainment for the LA Weekly, LA Times, Variety, Paper and Swindle magazine. Caroline was recently laid off from her job and is starting a style website called The Style Strategist - visit <a href="http://www.thestylestrategist.com/">http://www.thestylestrategist.com/</a> and sign up for the newsletter if you want to make her happy.

One feature is called Erotica Review of the Month courtesy of the <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed</a> website. I'll be reading one of their top-quality reviews about a recently released work and we can discuss whether we agree with the critique and the points it makes about what makes for good one-handed reading - sorry 'erotic' - writing. The Erotica Review of the Month is going to be Frenzy: 60 Stories of Sudden Sex, Edited By: Alison Tyler on Cleis, November 2008, Reviewed By: Steven Hart. Our next feature fits perfectly with the Erotic Review of the Month and it's called Phone Sex where we call up an out-of-town author and have them read their work to us over the phone. So we're going to dirty dial D.L.King who wrote "Hard Wet Silk," in Frenzy. How about that! And D. L. King also publishes and edits the review site, <a href="http://www.eroticarevealed.com/">Erotica Revealed (eroticarevealed.com)</a>. She most recently edited the Cleis Press anthology, Where the Girls Are: Urban Lesbian Erotica, due to be released this July, and she is currently editing a vampire erotica anthology, also for Cleis Press, due to be released this Fall. She is the author of two novels, The Melinoe Project and The Art of Melinoe. Her work can be found in anthologies such as The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica, Best Women’s Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, Girl Crazy, Frenzy, Yes, Ma’am and Yes, Sir.

The <a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler Hollywood</a> cafe was packed with about 50 fans who proved they were into the words and the five authors who titillated the crowd with stories of life in the sex industry, young lust, profiling a porn star and a rape fantasy of a failed VP candidate. The authors were Antonia Crane, Jillian Lauren, Tina Dupuy, Michael Lynn and Devan Sagliani, and Stan Kent (that's me in the shocking pink biker jacket) hosted and DJed playing songs with a wild theme. Here we are glowing underneath the Hustler Hollywood sign and all repeat after me - "Relax, It's Just Sex!"<br /></div><div> </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273266595958667842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhGUGz72Gpg6SyRG0J3GCNJ46UA5ByUDWn65pT-2aYf2Oa5gNJBkFMQG-RrPsVbwdDserzZgAmeuCmY3PQKo1vSsgtbZta6yQimwkrp1x4uHj6h3aWjTfV46DRssrI4US8htKdqTaKnO0/s320/authors_hustler_sign.jpg" border="0" /> <div><div><div>Antonia Crane looked stunning for her many admiring fans and wasted no time in regaling the cheering crowd with tales of her days at the Lusty Lady in San Francisco, soon to be published in Tales of a Sexual Outlaw. </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273268250800114050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgczRYenPPl0Y__fi8F-Kj5qAmuoScNbETPRYsciX5DRNARK2Um1ZMBoxMKS2Q6LaiMvv4x1UPAnAaXe2F98Mk_9uVj8qRnr-enxmZGUklBooB-mYJy7nKyz1aVtNnUICfTdm5R-7wgOSg/s320/antonia_reading_side.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p>Antonia has a way of describing her encounters with guys ranging from Zucchini Man to Enema Man to a coked-up couple looking for group sex in a way that seems paradoxically casual yet engaging. This book is going to demystify and humanize the sex industry thanks to Antonia's skill with people in need of sex and people in need of hearing about it. </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273268792433079234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 220px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIqG__c34WYkHxn4dYX8mtjJiYecm44HHrLj6Vu7Kjn05zKOUyq45xd3xb_hY6NlumsJXC6Oft4bTO9Co-vJ69kHnykfNlnaEj8VfDDSt7_wPzFoYgTOHTT6_y_LH-m43ccSBkRWaBtS8/s320/antonia_reading_audience.jpg" border="0" />Next up to the microphone came Tina Dupuy who was feeling a bit out of her element. She is a satirist first, and anti-social commentator next and not a sex worker or a writer about sex. She needn't have worried. Her story - The Matt Came Back - had the audience laughing and applauding as Tina read about one of her young lust episodes, proving that a good writer can work magic with the right words, as she did at the end of the night winning one of the <a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler Hollywood</a> gift bags for her contribution to our on-going Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Say "Relax It's Just Sex."

Jillian took off from where Antonia had left off, spinning a touching, titillating and totally hilarious account of her work as an escort where she visited a famous TV personality's apartment only to find he was more into himself and his preening than he was her. Silly, silly boy ...</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273272103710114482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 159px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKuoGDZc7vfS_JrMWppEFrQ7nRD6YeAeHgDj8Cthb594Mthm0Ftp4KaSVQckBRW8XrCtnp2ZdUq-7WhH0iqA1KpzkIVPlYwYtRKD_VNo8LvXT4jOuSffQ0A0zIUadAdDHfGykuc6o-Ywg/s320/jillian_reading_front.jpg" border="0" /> After those three amazing tales, all of which featured enough erotic imagery to cause a certain amount of stiffness and fidgeting amongst the audience, a short break was needed for everyone to stretch and partake in <a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler Hollywood</a> cafe refreshments and snacks while I played some more music leading off with Against Me!'s Thrash Unreal. And no, I'm not sponsored by Fiji Water, Abercrombie & Fitch or Sony Vaio - just <a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler Hollywood</a>!</div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273274803354647922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiRcT89fWpDpqQ3J7s-HsYZFCYxnG6xHGRS62nkq9ccSmsp2W0nRcmg49xhcrZ87SUm0tu9M_Cy5_2Iq51F07TonlHr2_lcAKlFWpfXNHwTyV1Him3RitBVRwL_M5OodBj1hSCpQEi11Q/s320/stan_DJing.jpg" border="0" /><br />The readings resumed with Michael Lynn treating the audience to a selection called Got Jenna? (as in Jenna Jameson). Michael has a distinguished career producing "E! True Hollywood Story," of which he has produced more than 40 episodes since 1998, including two of the top three “True Hollywood Stories” of all time. The lucky guy got to profile Jenna Jameson, giving the audience a feel for what it is like to be the world's most famous porn star and to be in her orbit for several days. It was a charming piece in which you got the sense that Jenna let her guard down and Michael came to realize that porn stars are human too.</div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273276237905858978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 168px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOi2u_vkNP2tDczS5_IyTqlVmWBAOACW9n3Xq_MaFVscubdMGL-cBOIno0fyh72k8HePB-a2-7iWuFqRb_uw3EIhaDc11P77okdiZouyAh0NQ28nqdcCCMWIXX6NwJEg_1YQHKR9IKA2I/s320/Michael_reading.jpg" border="0" /><br />If ever there was a story that required the <a href="http://www.hustlerhollywood.com/">Hustler Hollywood</a> disclaimer "Relax It's Just Sex," it was the final reading from Devan Sagliani titled "Republican’s Delight" which is to be featured on <a href="http://sarahpalinerotica.com/">Sarah Palin erotica.com</a> – a website created by In The Flesh instigator <a href="http://www.myspace.com/rachelkramerbussel">Rachel Kramer Bussel</a> and dedicated to fantasies, satire and smut about Alaska’s Governor and failed VP candidate. Devan was a bit nervous to read his transgressive piece about a rape fantasy involving Sarah Palin, but he needn't have worried. The audience welcomed his over-the-top porn talk with open minds and in some cases open mouths. It was a moment to be cherished that Larry Flynt would have been proud of. SNL needs to talk to Devan... <div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273277411565966850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 237px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1Cho_ybZef1nvzN2UnIDn0O5Ii-6WvKLhtOPyH6mk-csIwL4xY6iiaIfTF4t7wP8-KI2ug5t9CNYU-CxSWBQOklkmpHLRq1iEdrH1ZF3gqvwlWyxpSaHyqSIEjAvmzdTJvQITBYAGGqk/s320/Devan+reading_smiling.jpg" border="0" /><br /></div>We wrapped up the evening with the audience submitting their top reasons why you should say "Relax, It's Just Sex." As to be expected from a word-wise audience, there were some witty suggestions with the winners of the stuffed-to-overflowing Hustler Bags full of Hustler merchandise being Tina Dupuy for her social commentary "Relax It's Just Sex because war is perverse., and Colleen O'Hare who stole the money shot with "Relax It's Just Sex - your pussy doesn't care if he calls tomorrow."

It's a work in progress. She is working on her MFA at Antioch University. Her first novel is called "Kill the Day," and it's nearly complete, but not out yet. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268624375734219938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 210px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 298px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH6JPcC3jU-bExiFzA0wlaAhzZo4W6iO67I1FZe9FLJX9wp_O_XlssFa0AcDKMnBd9zrbMMG70OZJmjXdcaVoQiHKpNFTr370oM5sYGZgh3lAdNm-QVeS4wTv-3v37wqDLuQpnPpYKEUs/s320/TinaDupuy.jpg" border="0" /> Tina Dupuy will be reading The Matt Came Back. She’s the daughter of devout Christian Hippies, and has a unique take on life. “My parents were missionaries, not to be confused with ‘mercenaries’ because that would actually be cool.” Irreverent yet unassuming, Tina was born for the work. “Prostitutes are known for their hearts of gold. You never hear anyone say that about satirists,” she laments. Sometimes an anti-social commentator, sometimes a comedian and always a wedge issue enthusiast, Tina is currently an award winning writer and a freelance investigative journalist. Her work has been published in such fine publications as the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, Newsday, The Pittsburgh-Post Gazette, The Beast and the LA Daily News among others. She is an editor at Mediabistro’s <a href="http://mediabistro.com/fishbowlla/">Fishbowl LA</a> and blogs occasionally at the Huffington Post.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268624538874186082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUNWO-fH5IewX0dJVrpm_o374krWYgDZw0IoSDdhBiwmN7C8fujDpH_GDcP-O0PkLlyisRZjEhmGM_w9PUpV8-wGWJFJt8XDWa3uNBUg2yHJsonQb9qtFKKEpREcq8wB9DCfXzItEq7c/s320/Michael+Lynn.jpg" border="0" /> Michael Lynn will be reading a selection called Got Jenna? (as in Jenna Jameson) -- it's an excerpt from a work-in-progress about his surrealistic experiences producing "E! True Hollywood Story," of which he has produced more than 40 episodes since 1998, including two of the top three “True Hollywood Stories” of all time. He was responsible for many of the highest-rated THS shows, including “The Last Days Of Elvis,” “Beverly Hills 90210,” “Supermodels,” “Family Feud,” “Jenna Jameson,” “Bill Clinton” and a three-hour E! News Special on “The Life & Death Of Anna Nicole.” In 2003, he received an Emmy Nomination as producer of the “Best Nonfiction Series” for the E! True Hollywood Story of “Jaws.” Michael has also won Prism Award commendations for “Lauren Chapin,” “Carre Otis” and “The O’Neals.” In addition, he created, wrote and produced “True American Story,” a spinoff of THS. Prior to working at E!, Michael was a “Miami Herald” reporter/photographer, a wine writer and restaurant critic. He is currently producing the “E! True Hollywood Story” of “American Idol” favorite Clay Aiken, as well as serving as creative consultant for an upcoming ABC-TV movie about the making of “Jaws.” </div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268624871530933890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxRvfmvHtSNpFyww3X6CURdXFW0WabfzqVKHAOT58RASqhyphenhyphenAql3NPWEnirqCnM9NRXNkBpBWARAcz61OUA0tbTR1_kedQVBqkRsfWPh5OpJFbw6xU7l592nlQd0B8skkndgLMggIXQ-lo/s320/Jillian+Lauren.jpg" border="0" /> Jillian Lauren will be reading an excerpt from her upcoming memoir Some Girls which will be published by Plume/Penguin in the Spring of 2010.

Devan holds a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of California at Los Angeles. His fiction has appeared in Word Riot, Impetus, Girls With Insurance, Thieves Jargon, Outsider Ink, Mourning Silence, & Thirst For Fire. In addition to being nominated for a Pushcart Prize he has also been nominated for the Million Writer’s Award for his fiction online. While more than comfortable with being labeled a Buddhist, a Democratic Socialist, a Netroots Activist, and a Social Progressive, he has never been able to wholly swallow being labeled a Rethuglican porn apologist and will not start now. He wrote this incendiary fantasy after reading a description of 2008 GOP Vice Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin as a ‘pin up girl for guys who don’t masturbate.’ He can be stalked via his website <a href="http://devansagliani.com/">http://devansagliani.com/</a>.</div></div></div></div>Stan Kenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15317720432448695975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967605776002593332.post-16132013155183821912008-11-11T01:12:00.000-08:002008-11-11T02:02:32.503-08:00October's Fear Night was good foreplay for Halloween<div><div><p align="left">The subject was Fears and the five readers all dealt with it in their own perverse ways, pulling together a night where each story worked with the others in what can only be described as so good it was scary.

She was featured in 9 of the books on the table and read a story of backstage rock and roll love and lust that showcased her amazing eye for erotic detail where the fear was more a subtle one of being found out. Just like the first two stories made it impossible for me to look at ice cubes, bananas and monkey suits in a none-sexual way, Jolene has forever perverted the back pockets of jeans in my mind, and no doubt much of the audience, judging by the amount of shuffling I noticed on the Hustler chairs.<br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267332166754798594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 275px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzxbdrpdYef35fsANupogrmDQGuHvad9MqWWpUQfgzU3RhvwvsgM7EJf0W93ZqXXDXLq1S8rJdo58Hw8oufgs09C1eQ9AHgJx8SrUZUhm-QXfwb6u5MswLQu-mTG9IAXZre3jS5n9LTNs/s320/jolene_reading_books.jpg" border="0" /></div></div><div><br /></div><p>I read an excerpt from Violetta (Heel The Pain), the third book in the Shoe Leather series, which told how the main character, Violetta, who has the power in her feet to see, feel, and fully experience the sex people had in shoes just by putting on the fucked-in footwear, confronts her fear of why she has this power.

From secret dirty confessions to unique sexual insights (and even the odd embarrassment or two), these writers get naked on the page and will make you lust after them and their words. Complimentary cookies and cupcakes are courtesy of Schmerty's. Goody bags with Hustler Hollywood treats will be raffled off. Tunes are provided by in-house DJ Stan Kent. The event is free, but a suggested $10 door fee will be donated to the Rape and Incest National Network.
