Queer Porn Rules!
Ah queer porn… one of my favorite topics. I like watching it, of course, but I'm also into talking about it, processing it and looking at it in regards to the bigger picture. Yeah, that's what happens when you're a human sexuality grad student… Anyway, here are two awesome new interviews/articles talking about the state of queer and lesbian porn, where we've been and what the future holds.
First up is an About.com interview with Nan Kinney, president of lesbian production studio Fatale Media and one of the founders of On Our Backs, the "Magazine for the Adventurous Lesbian."
A little taste:
Q: How has the lesbian porn business changed over the 23 years you've been in it?
A: "Well for one thing, there actually is a lesbian porn business now! When we started, it was like missionary work. There was no lesbian porn in the early 80s -- none. Now there are at least a handful of companies creating dyke porn. And, more importantly, dykes are recognized as a market for porn to be produced for, and there are marketing and selling resources for lesbian porn. That's huge. Basically, when we were making our first porn, we were limited to selling directly to lesbians via mail order.
Now, you have many sex-positive retail stores and a multitude of websites for lesbians to find lesbian porn. The lesbian porn market has definitely evolved in the last 20 years."
Read the rest here.
Next up, XBIZ asks 'where are the real lesbians?' and also talks with Kinney, but this time about making the move to online distribution and working with HotMoviesForHer!!
But knowing that the Internet is an ideal way to get her product out to the masses, Kinney and Fatale have teamed with HotMoviesForHer.com, at the request of HotMovies.com Account Manager Dutchie VanDyke, to get the company's films online.
"I mean why not, there are people who want it both ways," Kinney said. "I don't think one cancels out the other; the more ways to provide your customers access to your content, the better."
Plus, HMFH's own Dutchie VanDyke tells XBIZ all about hooking up with Fatale and knowing what real lesbians are looking for.
VanDyke said both straight and queer women viewers are perceptive to even the subtlest hint of fake and are easily tipped — and turned — off from it.
"You can find the fake really easily," she said, "so what we're doing with HotMoviesForHer is we're trying to keep it genuine and keep it respectful and authentic. I don't think that until recently there's been a specific indication that the interest is out there, that this model would work for them."

Babes With Books
Jackpot! I've found a site dedicated to pictures of girls reading. It doesn't get much better than Babes With Books. I'm so going to start collecting pictures of girls with books and cover the walls of my library with them!
If any of you book nerds missed my review of O - The Power of Submission, an interpretation Pauline Reage's The Story Of O, you can see it here.
Finally, send us your nerdy book pics, smart porn suggestions, or comments. We crave your attention!

Do you wash your pants in Windex? Because I can see myself in them.
On my daily trolling of the Internet, I recently found Pickupedia, an online database of pick up lines. I rooted about for a bit and rounded up the top ten of what I found. Some are totally disgusting, some are kinda cute and some deserve a look of pity… but all are awesomely bad. Here they are in no particular order. Enjoy!
1) "Baby you are so fine you turn my software into hardware."
2) "I have an x-ray watch and it shows me you are wearing no knickers. What, you are? Ah, it must be an hour fast."
3) "Wanna go Dutch on a kid?"
4) "I hear your ankles are having a party. Why not tell your panties to come on down?"
5) "My jeans fit just fine when I put them on, but now I think I'm getting a little chubby" (pause) "Well, not a 'little' chubby--a big chubby. But now I ruined the double entendre... Hey, where are you going? Give me some credit here. I know what a 'double entendre' is." (well, he does have a point...)
6) "I would only kick you out of bed to fuck you on my floor." (oooooh, Risqué!)
7) "Hersheys makes thousands of kisses a day, all I'm asking for is just one."
8) "I'd like to have breakfast with you. Should I call you or nudge you?" (this one is my favorite!)
9) Person A: "Can I take your picture?"
Person B: "What for?"
Person A: "I want to show Santa exactly what I want for Christmas!"
10) "If I had a garden, I'd put your tulips with my tulips." (he he!)
Man these are cheesey! I love it! Feel free to add your own favorite pick up lines in the comments section.
Thinking up my own as we speak...

Making Art From Scattered Pieces
Break-ups suck. There's no two ways about that, and even worse is the healing process that goes long with them. It's seriously cringe-worthy to think about. But for some, pain equals inspiration. Take Croatian artists Olinka Vistica and Drazen Grubisic. When the two parted ways, they decided to turn all that nervous energy into something that could benefit everyone in their situation. Oh those creative types, always growing from their experiences and producing amazing works from broken pieces. Not that I'm jealous or anything…
The Museum of Broken Relationships asks people in the cities it visits to donate mementos of everything from short flings to painful divorces.
Originating in Croatia, the show has visited Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovenia and has amassed more than 300 exhibits.
Berliners have donated more than 30 objects, including a wedding dress and an axe used to break an ex's furniture.
Zvonimir Dobrovic is organising the Berlin show in the Tacheles arts centre, a former squat in the heart of the city.
"It's such a nice, simple idea, because everyone can relate to it," he told the BBC News website.
"It's not pretentious, it's interactive, a place where people can present their own stories and compare them to others."
Members of the public are asked to give or donate an object, along with a short description of what it means to them, the time of the relationship, and where they are from.
"Even if the objects seem ordinary the stories are very individual and they make the exhibition come alive," Mr Dobrovic said.
"People really enjoy being here, we get couples who spend a long time here, looking and laughing and hoping it never happens to them, and then people who've just broken up who want to tell us their stories," he added.
