Yes, It's Gotta Be Monday!

Congrats to my Author-Friend & 'Sultry Siren', Eliza Gayle, on the release of her *hot* story at Phaze.com --TAKEN BY TAROT!


Disappointed with her love life, Faith turns to the Tarot and a little magic. Will she find the right man in the cards? When the spell goes wrong she gets more than she bargained for. A man, who claims to be Fae and her mate, insists he has every right to take her against her will. Despite being kidnapped she is inexplicably drawn to the man who demands her complete and total submission.

When Garon hears his mate call he rushes to her side determined to be “the one” who claims her. A human mate. So rare among his kind. When she resists he exercises his Fae rights and takes her. His plan is to seduce her into submission before introducing her to his shape-shifting companion, Kian. Will she accept his dragon lover enabling the three of them to bond forever? Or force him to release her to the sadistic Dom who could mate her.

Length: HeatSheet Rating: Nova (for BDSM and MFM elements)

Sex in the Theatre

Here's some interesting tid-bits I came across recently ...

In an adult role in the play, EQUUS, Harry Potter actor, Daniel Radcliffe impressed audiences and critics. Radcliffe, 17, performed a full frontal nude scene with a young actress onstage …this earned him a standing ovation from the audience!

UK’s The Daily Mail reports that the boy wizard "truly impressed with a bravura full-frontal display that earned him a standing ovation." The Daily Mail also reported that New York theatre producer Roger Berlind stated he would find a way to finance the show if they wanted to come to Broadway. Berlind told the Daily Mail that Daniel Radcliffe was a "natural stage performer".

A natural, huh? Hehehe—too funny! But, seriously, ‘bravo’ to Daniel on expanding his theatrical scope (no pun intended).

For the full story click here



In other ‘sex in the theater’ related tid-bits, it is reported that the stage play, The Vagina Monologues, has been renamed at a theatre in Florida after a complaint about the title!

It will be known as The Hoohaa Monologues - a child slang word for the female organ - after a woman in Atlantic Beach complained. Bryce Pfanenstiel from The Atlantic Theatre told local TV station Channel 4 the woman said she was "offended" when her niece asked her what a vagina was. The TV network claim the play's director is not happy about the change.

Is this crazy or what?!? IMHO, The Vagina Monologues is a groundbreaking theater piece. I’ve read the book and listened to the HBO audio version performed by Eve Ensler herself…although I have seen a play version yet. And if I ever get the change to participate in a stage production—I damn sure will!

Ms. Ensler wrote the first draft of the play in 1996 after interviewing 200 women about their views on sex, relationships, and violence against females. Each monologue somehow relates to the vagina, through themes including sex, rape, birth and mutilation. To me, it’s an inspiring and empowering piece of work! For my $1.01, calling the play 'The Hoohaa Monolgues' offends ME!

As always, your comments are welcomed –thanks for reading!

Happy Chinese New Year!

February 18th 2007 ushers in the Year of the Pig or Boar! Although the predictions don’t look very cheery, people are still celebrating the beginning of the traditional Chinese Lunar New Year!

According to Hong Kong Feng Shui master Raymond Lo, “"The Year of the Pig will not be very peaceful." The zodiac runs on a 12-year cycle, and each year is associated with the five elements that Chinese mystics make up the universe: metal, water, wood, fire and earth.

Lo further explains, “Pig years can be turbulent because they are dominated by fire and water, conflicting elements that tend to cause havoc. Fire sitting on water is a symbol of conflict and skirmish." Predictions include more fire related disasters, such as bombings, gun & firearm fatalities, as well as natural disasters.

However, there IS a bright side to the Year of the Pig! "Because of the water element in the Year of the Pig, the economy will continue to grow, which also paves the way for another round of interest rate hikes," said Peter So, a celebrity fortuneteller in Hong Kong.

The pig is one of 12 animals (or mythical animals in the case of the dragon) on the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac. This follows a 12-year cycle of a Lunar calendar. People born during Pig years are said to be polite, honest, hardworking and loyal. The Chinese also say that babies born during the Year of the Pig are lucky, which is why many like to have babies in a pig year.

A few famous 'Year of the Pig' birthdays include: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Woody Allen, Elton John and Hilary Rodham Clinton.

Disastrous or not, the Year of the Pig looks like it’s going to be an interesting year. I’d like to wish everyone a year of happiness, joy and prosperity!

Gung Hei Fat Choy!

Sweaty Men Make Women Happy?

Reuters reports that a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience showed direct evidence that people secrete a scent that influences the hormones of the opposite sex.

“The study focused on androstadienone, considered a male chemical signal. Previous research had established that a whiff of it affected women's mood, sexual and physiological arousal and brain activation. Its impact on hormones was less clear.”

Androstadienone is a derivative of testosterone. It’s found in male sweat, saliva and semen and smells somewhat musky.

Cortisol is a female hormone and is secreted by the body to help maintain proper arousal and sense of well-being, respond to stress and other functions. According to the study, “cortisol levels in the women who smelled androstadienone shot up within roughly 15 minutes and stayed elevated for up to an hour.” Women reported improved moods, higher sexual arousal, and increased blood pressure, heart rate and breathing.

So, what they’re saying is that sweaty men make women happy, right? ;)

Vamp Porn-o Film Shocks University Officials

In Munchie, Indiana Ball State University officials are shocked over a horror film ...not because of the gore but the sex!

The X-rated film VAMPIRE DIARIES was shot at a mansion owned by the university, which is used as a conference center. Ball State officials say Christopher Gregory didn't mention the explicit nature of his movie when he pitched the idea to them.

Gregory says he also gave some Ball State students parts in the film, which is now out on DVD.

University lawyers are reviewing the written agreement with Gregory and will consider legal action if the campus porn film has damaged Ball State's reputation.

You mean Ball State officials had no problems with a bloody horror film as opposed to some heavy duty hanky panky??? How strange is that?!? ;)

Have a terrific Tuesday --
Hugs,
Sabrina )O(
