Lest you should pick up the April, 2007 Penthouse thinking the cover story on none other than Eros Zine's enduring obsession Dita Von Teese -- titled "Dita Opens Up: See What Manson's Missing" -- means that she opens up her soul.... well, sorry to disappoint you, but she doesn't. There's no first-person interview with Dita accusing her former spouse Marilyn Manson of unsavory sexual practices like, say, wearing make-up, being a potty-mouth, or expecting a little slap & tickle behind the silken canopies of their marital bed. Whatever perversions Dita and Manson engaged in are locked away forever behind that immaculately-plucked brow -- oh, and on the pages of Vanity Fair. Anyway: the Penthouse piece, by Nerve.com Editor in Chief Michael Martin, is an appreciation of Dita's place in the Cosmos, including such insights as "It's tempting to evaluate [her shows] as some kind of metaphorical performance art -- until you get over your pretensions and remember that she is splashing around naked in a giant martini glass, and that alone is kind of awesome." There's also a quote from mouth-watering particle physicist Scarlett Johansson, who finds Dita's work "unbelievably stimulating." Oh-la-la! The article features gorgeous photographs by Andre Felix of Dita resplendent in corsets, lingerie, and nothing-but-a-smile. Any excuse to ogle the breathtaking Ms. Teese is a good one, and you know what makes me happiest? Not to rub it in or anything, but... I got to do it on company time. Check out Dita in the April issue, or save yourself future delays in ogling and subscribe at Penthouse. Spring Shwings Into Oblivion Those of us who make our home on the East Side of the San Francisco Bay Area, especially us West-Side-of-the-East-Side-ers, were all aflutter over the prospect of the Spring Shwing, brought to the Area 51 Event Center in Alameda (near Oakland, on the right coast of the SF Bay) by the crew at the Exotic Erotic Ball. "Yeah!!" We were heard to shriek, not unlike drunken college girls lifting our shirts. "Finally, a chance for us East Bay peeps to get pervy without crossing a bridge and/or getting noise complaints from the upstairs neighbors! Woo-hoo!!"
The East Bay, you see, just ain't ready for a sexy ball of its own. Said a recent press release: "Perry Mann and his Exotic Erotic Ball team, along with Tiki Tom of Tiki Tom Productions have jointly and regrettably announced the cancellation of Spring Shwing, an April Fool's Celebration originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 31, 2007 (April Fool's Eve), at Area 51 Event Center in Alameda.... Area 51 Productions, which is operated by John Walker, bore the responsibility to secure all necessary permits and licenses (except only the ABC permit to serve alcohol), as per its agreement with the Producers. In numerous meetings with the Producers, Walker had represented that the securing of the use license was "a mere formality" and had approved the event moving forward. The City Agency who denied the license claims its denial was consistent with a longstanding policy, to which Walker "should have been aware." "'We are both disappointed and incensed,' said Perry Mann. 'We're disappointed because Spring Shwing was shaping up as a really great event... [and] incensed because this denial of a use license came entirely from left field, and nobody from any City department thought we even deserved a phone call.... Clearly, Walker has been reckless and lacking in proper disclosure to us. Whether there are other culprits -- time will tell." Further information (and more incensed commentary) can be can be got at springshwing.com. Florida Court Rules Alimony is Owed Despite FTM Sex Change The Associated Press reports on a Clearwater, Florida Circuit Court decision concerning the payment of alimony by 48-year-old Lawrence Roach to 55-year-old Julio Roberto Silverwolf, ne้ Julia (presumably Roach). Mr. Roach... that is, Lawrence... had argued that Julia's sex change to Julio voided their 2004 divorce agreement. Though under Florida law one man cannot pay alimony to another man, the judge said the agreement would stand, and Roach still owed Silverwolf $1,250 monthly. That's because Florida courts have also ruled that sex-change surgery cannot legally change a person's gender. Silverwolf's attorney said he and his client disagree with that decision, but they're pleased with the ruling. Two Pensioners Caught in the Act From The BBC comes a report of two elderly men caught in the act on closed circuit television. "The 83-year-old from Dalston and an Aspatria man, 70, were caught on CCTV camera in the bedding section of Debenhams in Carlisle city centre," the report said. "It's not clear how many customers witnessed the pair, who continued their sexual activity in the toilet, where they were tracked by security staff." Police Inspector Paul Colson reported that in his 25 years as a police officer, "It is one of the most unusual incidents I have come across." I think he means because the participants are, you know.... old. The BBC also reported that "Their arrest on suspicion of gross indecency led to a police caution." We in the States have no friggin' idea what that means, but we think you British people are amazingly quaint. We do hope you'll cut the old codgers a break, though... I mean, it's not like they were doing something really naughty.
From those hot dames at BurningAngel.com comes a painfully fun TV show hosted by none other than Joanna Angel and Re-Penetrator director Doug Sakman. It's described as "America's Most Dangerous Game Show," and it premiered live at the Backseat Film Festival in Philadelphia. Says Burning Angel's press release: "This exciting live game show features contestants competing against each other by withstanding increasing levels of various forms of pain including but not limited to electrocution, fire, asphyxiation, kicks in the balls, nipple clamps, leather whips, paddles and MUCH more. As the contestants take increasing levels of pain, the girls of Burning Angel peel off various layers of their clothing. The more pain they take, the less clothes the girls wear! If more than one contestant survives until the final round, there is a tie-breaker in which the contestants compete in an Ultimate Pain Lightning Round. The winner of this twisted competition receives a lap dance courtesy of the girls of BurningAngel.com! The Studio version of STRIP FOR PAIN is hosted by Joanna Angel and Doug Sakmann and presented by BackseatConceptions.com and Hotmovies.com for BurningAngel.com. Whether "Strip for Pain" comes soon to a TV set near you, I couldn't tell you, but you can download preview clips -- where else? -- at StripForPain.com. Satanic Porn Blog. You Heard Me: Satanic Porn Blog. Extreme Associates director Shane Bugbee, who just happens to also be a Satanic priest, has joined his wife Amy Bugbee in launching a new Satanic Porn Blog on YNOT.com. Entitled Beverly Hellbillies, it will chronicle the adventures of the Hellacious pair as they "tackle such controversial topics as satanic porn and 'extreme' content in general."
Says YNOT: "Both [Mr. and Mrs. Bugbee] have been involved with the publication of controversial materials and the organization of events that have provoked the ire of mainstream communities." I'll say! Bugbee's directorial debut is the upcoming Club Satan: The Witches' Sabbath, from Extreme Associates, the world's first full-length Satanic porn feature, unless you include From Justin to Kelly. Writes Amy: "When you choose a road like Shane and I have, you have to expect a certain amount of fallout, and we have had our share over the years. Much of it, in my opinion, has been completely blown out of proportion, and as much as it's hard to be objective when you are inside a thing, I also feel this kind of pandemonium is just how the Salem Witch trials happened." We at Eros Zine would like to concur: That's exactly how the Salem Witch trials happen, only with more people being drowned, hung, and burned at the stake, some after having carrots forcibly strapped to their noses, others (more commonly) after being weighed against ducks. Said Connor Young, President of YNOT Network: "Darklady approached me with the idea of inviting Shane and Amy to blog on YNOT, and I was very pleased when they accepted the offer. I have always had a lot of respect for those individuals who put their own butts on the line to defend Free Speech rights in America, and Shane and Amy certainly come from a long history of defending speech, both popular and unpopular. In my opinion, one's willingness to defend unpopular speech is a direct test of one's dedication to the very principles of Free Speech." As reported in a previous column, after participating in her first-ever Satanic gangbang, Club Satan star Paris Gables reported that she thought she needed an exorcism. Is it getting hot in here?
