Princely Tails

(WARNING:  Totally NSFW)
Reader Grace nearly caused a pearl-clutching moment amongst us Special Correspondents with a link to these, ahem, enhanced drawings:

I look at these images as I do hentai and plushies:  some people getting off on the frisson of (hyper)sexualized ideals of taboo images and items connoted to belong to [...]

Sailor WTF?: Kirsten Dunst’s ‘Akihabara Majokko Princess’

Kirsten Dunst & McG’s ‘Akihabara Majokko
by allbrice
WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS NSFW IMAGES
By Special Correspondent Arturo R. García
At least she can sorta carry a tune.
After two viewings, that’s about all I can glean from Kirsten Dunst’s cover of “Turning Japanese,” which premiered late last year as part of an exhibition by Takashi Murakami at London’s Tate Museum. [...]

When Racefail Meets Playboy: The John Mayer Interview

By Sexual Correspondent Andrea (AJ) Plaid
My gut-honest reaction to finding out singer John Mayer admits that he doesn’t romantically or sexually like Black women is like finding out Tom Cruise saying doesn’t dig us sistahs: I’m not shocked because I didn’t get that vibe from him.  
Mayer’s highlighted history of dating the crowning White women [...]

Rise of the Hot Jewish Girl? Details Continues the Objectification

by Latoya Peterson

Reader Ilana tipped us to this Details article back in December – sadly it got lost in the holiday shuffle. But wow, is this article a winner:

Cheerleaders. Five-inch heels. Big, natural boobs. Those are merely the most obvious sexual fixations most men have, but there’s another undeniable one: ladies of the tribe. It [...]

Race & Comic-Books: Rima The Jungle Girl

By Special Correspondent Arturo R. García

DC Comics has begun drumming up buzz for the “First Wave” world – an alternate universe populated by pulp characters like Doc Savage and The Spirit, and pulp incarnations of modern characters like Batman and the first Black Canary.
Monday, though, we got a first look at a potential wrong [...]

Oh You Can’t Speak To A Brotha?

By Guest Contributor Ndidi Oriji

Dear MTA Employee,
I am the woman who requested your help Wednesday morning at approximately 9:40am. I came to the station agent’s window and told you that I swiped my metro card and the display read “See Agent”. You told me to swipe it at the window. When I did, the display [...]

Diversity Is the Spice of Life…Unless You’re the Spice

By Sexual Correspondent Andrea (AJ) Plaid
When my wife and I started LoveVoodoo 6 years ago, we wanted the site to bring people together.  Many of the other adult dating or ‘Swingers’ sites are very segregated. There are “Black” swinger sites, “Hispanic” swinger sites and very little diversity on the larger sites. This never made any [...]

Hello, My Concubine [So-Called Trends]

 by Guest Contributor Jen, originally published at Disgrasian
British newspaper The Independent reported last week that concubines are making a comecuback in China due to the return of capitalism. This is particularly fascinating to me because my great-great-grandmother was a concubine. She was the only “wife” of my great-great-grandfather able to give him a son–my [...]

“I Shut Off My Pen Light For This?!?”: Afterbirth of a Nation

By Sexual Correspondent Andrea (AJ) Plaid and Guest Contributor Fiqah
Fiqah:All right, full disclosure. I loathe Birth of a Nation. L-O-A-T-H-E, my friends. In my short time on this planet, I have been forced to endure two (!) viewings of the flick–twice the Recommended Lifetime Limit for Black people. The last time I watched this film [...]

Interview with The Perverted Negress

By Sexual Correspondent Andrea Plaid
A while ago, Latoya Peterson, and I offered a two-fer about the Ciara/Justin Timberlake video, “Love Sex Magic.” The image of Timberlake pulling Ciara’s dog leash brought up the idea of “race play” and racism. Sexologist Bianca Laureano suggested that I talk to Mollena, a expert on race play, about it. [...]

Dear Porn Industry, Must Interracial Porn Always Be So . . . Racist?

For those of you who watch mainstream porn out there, I have an assignment for you.

A hot retail item

Bcuz everyone thinks they too have ownership of something that belongs [...]

On Burlesque [Essay]

by Guest Contributor Tiara the Merch Girl
Depending on who you ask, burlesque can either be a tool to poke fun at the Establishment by bringing them down to the “low-brow”, or a way to bask in vintage 1940s and 1950s glamour. It’s a growing art form with plenty of enthusiasts jumping in for a chance [...]

Big, black booties “intrigue” Jezebel readership

by Guest Contributor Tami, originally published at What Tami Said

Some folks (including me, sometimes) quibble over whether the blog Jezebel qualifies as “feminist.” Having lurked around the joint for awhile, I would say it definitely has a third-wave feminist ethos. That means the site’s bloggers regularly lay a smack down on media that exploits women. [...]

The Brazil Files: Colossal Ewwww: Playing Brazil an Insult to…Everyone?

by Special Correspondent Wendi Muse
I hate to even give this guy web time, but here goes…
While doing some research on beauty industry revenue and plastic surgery in Brazil, I stumbled upon a little gem called Playing Brazil. At this point, I started holding back the bile coming up in my throat. It was hard, so [...]
