Oh… my… God. You know, I get that high fashion — Paris runway-show high fashion in particular — is not about making clothes that people will wear. It’s an art form that works in textiles and is displayed on human models… but other than that, it bears no real relation to what people might wear …

The Erotic Illuminati!
Yippee! According to the San Francisco Bay Guardian Best of the Bay 2006 issue, I am part of San Francisco’s “erotic illuminati.” It’s a little mention in the Best Parliament of Perverts award they gave to Femina Potens Gallery for their “Sizzle Erotic Open Mic” (which they totally deserve, btw).

Transcendental Skepticism: My Letter to Mark Morford
So Mark Morford (the SF Gate/SF Chronicle columnist) wrote this column last week about how pathetic it is when people can’t relate to the mystical energy of inanimate objects, and it really honked me off.

North Korea, and Reason 8,624 that the War on Iraq was a Bad Idea
I’m not a 100% hardcore pacifist. Iâm pretty close to it, but I’m not one. I do think there are times — not bloody many, but some — when military action is a necessary evil. And I think that now, or soon, might just possibly be one of those times. A mentally ill, megalomaniacal dictator …

Dream diary, 7/8/06: Sick dolphin
I dreamed that my friend and upstairs neighbor Laura had two pet dolphins in a swimming pool in our backyard, one of which was very sick. We could tell it was sick because it was filling up with gas and gradually blowing up like a large balloon. We (me, Laura, Ingrid, and the other people …

Oral Arguments
I was originally going to call this post âA Dykeâs Defense of Blowjobs,â but lots of my readers get these posts sent as email, and I thought some of you might not appreciate having that subject line show up in your In box…. Anyway… I recently found out that thereâs been an entertaining flare-up in …
