RAY. What the hell, chochacho -

A Primary Caregiver cannot flaunt his / her Novelty Singing Crotch Skull. You know this. One day, Social Services or whatever is going to send over a DUDE

Although I am happy, in a "I guess it's kind of nice that retards don't know their boogers are actually kinda dirty" sense, that your local Underground has a Spencers Gifts. And the little finger-point there at the end was a spice rack of classy execution.

Bobby and V, you both covered most of what I had to say.

Wow.
Maybe this arc has something to do with my buying about 9 new tee's and hoodies (all goats, penny-arcade or think-geek based, except for the panda attack tee from pvp), and thus reducing the percentage of my clothes with Poe or Nietszche quotes on drastically. I mean purely in cementing the geekier dressed me.
Or not...

Even though I work "on the Internet" and it sustains my life, I am pretty much the last to ever hear about anything that is popular or hip on the web.

This is now the FOURTH time in a one-week period that I have heard four independent sources mention Suicide Girls.

It's like the universe is trying to tell me something, but I'm kinda thick, so it feels that it has to shout.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME, UNIVERSE?

Well RStevens did an interview with them a while back. And they're touring right now as a burlesque show so that might explain why they're showing up in other media a bit more.

The universe is trying to tell you that goth girls are hot. That's my theory anyway.

But they're not. They're obnoxious and prone to psychodrama.

And that stops them being devastatingly hot? At least potentially, as some of them are just well, skanky. But my ideal girl is a rock chick. In fact, all but one girl I have dated has been either a goth or rocker. I feel it's time for me to date a geek, but there are none here. And I just have too much a thing for rock chicks. I really need to get DJing in clubs again!!

The only ostentatious self-absorbtion in my Pornography Experience should by MY OWN

I don't need page after page of distracting bullshit pretending to be a Viable Scene as suckers line up to lay down their cash and pander shamelessly on message board after message board to tattoo-tittied Ego Queens, Jesus H. Christ, have you ever in your fuck*ng life

Every time I see subculture porn get some media exposure, it makes me think / guess that the bulk of their audience is men old enough to be their fuck*ng dads who are as straight-laced and white-bread as the damn day is long who are just working out unresolved lust / aggression / rebellion issues as re the Younger Generation.

First off, the strip brought back ultra fond memories of watching my friend mope, pace and march on the dance floor to Bauhaus, NIN and Velvet AntiChrist.  Best memory ever?  One of my friends got himself fitted for fangs - that's right fitted for fangs.  When he got them they made him lisp like a teen with a retainer.  Nothing says "darkness" like spraying spit and and having trouble saying words with "s" in them.  Very nice.

As for the Suicide Girls, I'm interested in the whole burlesque phenomena.  I read an interview about the SG recently because they are in town tonight, and they insist that only 20% of those who visit the site got to the pictures.  While seeing other more-or-less normal bodied girls didn't turn me on, it did make me feel a little better about my own body - the same effect watching a Russ Meyers movie had on me.

Having briefly work for a porn video rental place ( I have so many stories for another time), and just a little later as a sex ed. teacher, I developed a strong interest for human sexuality in my early years (ha didn't we all!). We're mostly presented with polished, air brushed, altered bodies, within a very narrow age range, that don't reflect the reality of normal human bodies.  Where did the arbitrary decision of what is to be sold and packaged as "sexy" come from?  In the same way that models all look the same, have the same measurements, etc, so it goes with women in porn - we're usually presented with a blank canvas porno girl on which we can impose our own meanings.  Beyond this, it's also important to remember that your typical playboy centerfold can feed into a fetish for slim woman with unnaturally large breasts.  I think it's fair to say that SG feeds into a specific fetish of those who like the tattooed and pierced, but these girls also try to have their own identities - not just expressed through body art, but through the majority of content on the site.  It's a sort post-mod feminism.  I'm not sure if it works, if it's the worst idea ever, or what, but I find it very interesting.  Just like Ally McBeal, their packaging will draw me in and their content will likely let me down.  Sigh.

Also, llimllib - I love the gif, but you must understand that the goth is a slow moving creature, hence why goth rhymes with sloth.

Personally, I'm not as interested in the whole burlesque phenomena as I am interested in breasts.
I had a subscription to Suicide Girls for a month about a year ago. Some of the girls were hot, but the videos were just ridiculous. Despite really good soundtracks, it was like watching two girls smile and kiss eachother. Yeah, I realize that that is hot, but I'm PAYING FOR THIS. I'm a BIG BOY, now, I can handle jeux sans #####.

Ah, well SG is a good site for seeing real non-plastic breasts, but although I've never seen any videos on the site, I can assume from the other content I have seen that it would be porn lite, but then many people get off very nicely on that sort of thing - I mean why else would Russ Meyers still be so damn popular?

As for Cort's suggestion of me chatting it up with his S.O., did I mention I'm directing two plays for FemFest?  And that we changed our tagline from last years "Plays by Women" to "Plays by Women for Everyone."  Very important to not be exclusionary.  I want $$$ from dykes and your grandmothers too!

My guess, based on the way his eyes go from one side to the other in the first two panels as if seriously reconsidering something, is maybe a couple more minutes at most.

I'm a fan of the soft core myself.  I don't need to see any foreign objects, cakes, or, ahem, dogs and/or hosss block my view of the pretty lady I'm having intimate thoughts about.

Agreed.  That rawks.  

In my head the skull's jaw moved up and down when the button was pushed.  Maybe after Bauhaus, another song: "Du. Du Hast. Du Haust Mich./ Du. Du Hast. Du Hast Mich. Du hast mich gefragt. Du hast mich gefragt.  Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt."
