Sex, Haggis and Ms. Kitka

Saturday, September 24th, 2005

Just a wee note to inform you all that I’m currently in Edinburgh, Scotland, for the next week. I will continue to blog here and will be doing much research to bring you new entertaining strip club and sex shop reviews. Unfortunately, one of the sex shops that I was planning to review is currently shut, so I may travel to Glasgow to shop at the Glaswegian location.

Please note that while I’m here I will have full access to the Internet so I will also be blogging on sex news… I’m sure you’ll feel as if I’ve never left.

When I return to Montreal, Zod and I will commence production on my new video-podcast… so stay tuned.

Debbie does Dallas, Rita does Houston

Debbie vs. Rita

I wonder which strip club re-opened first, Big Daddy’s or Bourbon Street’s Deja Vu club:

Erotic dancers and strippers are entertaining crowds of police, firefighters and military personnel instead of the usual audiences of drunken conventioneers and tourists in Bourbon Street’s Deja Vu club, which reopened this week.

It’s the first strip joint to resume business, three weeks after Hurricane Katrina struck in the worst natural disaster ever to hit the United States.

“It’s nice to get back to work, and all these men need some entertainment,” Dawn Beasley, 27, a dancer at the club, said on Tuesday night. “They haven’t seen anybody but their buddies for two weeks.”

The crowd hooted and hollered as women peeled off their tops and gyrated, as customers tucked tips into their G-strings.

“This is our first time off the ship and it’s great,” said one young sailor as he left the club. He declined to give his name or say where he was stationed.

“It’s good to see the businesses getting back up and bringing the city back,” another sailor said.

Well, I’m glad to see that the city is not falling into fundie hands since the disaster… it would have been horrible to see this “sinful” city change its ways. Christian fundamentalists may have thought that hurricane Katrina was the result of God’s will to punish gays and abortionists, but now that hurricane Rita is heading towards Texas what is their opinion?

Here are my top three explanations for why Hurricane Rita is on a course to attack Texas:

  • President Bush did such a horrible job helping survivors of Hurricane Katrina that ‘God’ wishes to punish him by wreaking devastation on his home state
  • ‘God’ wishes to be politically correct and kill caucasians and hispanics in order to even out the score
  • ‘God’ simply wants to fuck Bush hard
  • Well, perhaps we will never know the real reason why hurricane Rita is headed towards Texas (unless we use science to explain it), so I guess we’ll just have to have faith in the idea that God (or a gargantuan hurricane cock) wants a piece of Texan Bush.

    Wired News reads Ms. Kitka’s Red Chronicle…

    It’s almost as if Wired News was reading my article yesterday and decided they should comment on payed blogging. The article is very informative, I’m glad to see that if I did get an offer to do this for a company… I could probably get paid enough to quit my day job (thank Zod!). I just hope that someone would have faith in my writing and marketability to hire me for their site. Here is what Wired says are the requirements to hire a paid blogger:

    You need a talented writer entertaining enough to hold an audience, a consistent publishing schedule, content worth linking to by other bloggers and worthy of press coverage, marketing savvy to sell advertising or enlist third-party networks and, as a culmination of all of this, plenty of traffic.

    Says Hauslaib: “If a blog debuted with virtually zero startup costs, then it takes little to earn a profit. One ad will do it. But at the bare minimum, a lone blogger will likely need to attract high four- to five-figure daily visitor figures to even attempt a blog-based livable wage.”

    Great… so now I have a goal. Perhaps I’ll get there at some point in the not so distant future… So far, since September 6th, I have gone from zero to over 500 unique visits per day. True, much of that traffic has probably come from my MSN Spaces blog, but thanks to SugarBank and registering with a few adult blog directories I have also been able to increase traffic to my site. Hopefully, however, once my new video-podcast takes off in a few weeks I will be able to generate a significantly larger number of traffic. Only time will tell.

    For now, I shall continue working to bring you the finest sex news commentaries I possibly can… and then perhaps I’ll take LEB’s advice and make a few proposals…

    Clinton Condomania

    Condom-pops

    There are so many different types of condoms in the world. Zod and I are partial to Lifestyles Discs, but there are so many to choose from that it is often difficult to decide. A couple of months ago we couldn’t find our favorite brand in any of our local pharmacies and we started going crazy… rationing as if it were the great condom depression. The day we found a store stocked with our favorite condoms, I bought all 6 boxes. A few days later, I bought out another store…

    Well, it seems like there are two new brands on the market now in China… the ‘Clinton’ and the ‘Lewinsky’:

    BEIJING — A new line of condoms is grabbing headlines in China even as its sparks a debate about trademark law and promotion campaigns. The products’ brand names: “Clinton” and “Lewinsky.”

    The condoms are sold in boxes of 12, with the brand named after former President Bill Clinton priced at $3.70 and that of former White House intern Monica Lewinsky at $2.25.

    Guangzhou Haojian Bioscience Co. said it registered both trademarks and is pricing the brands differently to reflect the higher quality of the Clinton line.

    “We chose the name because we think Clinton is a symbol of success and a man of responsibility. And Lewinsky is a woman who dares to love and dares to hate,” said Liu Wenhua, the company’s general manager.

    “We haven’t told Clinton about this yet, but maybe you could help us find him,” Liu added. “We’d like to tell him how respected he is in China, so we can boost his confidence and help his career.”

    Interesting… so they think this will help his career? Just when the press is finally dying down and moving on to other stories…? If anything, this is going to take away from the professionalism that he has been working to build back ever since the Lewinsky scandal…

    I have to admit, though, I do find it funny that the Clinton condoms are much more expensive than the cheap-ass Lewinsky brand. Isn’t that just the sweetest metaphor…

    Do what you love… get paid for what you hate…

    Will work for lingerie

    Sometimes it’s hard being a part-time sex blogger, full-time secret agent secretary. While I wish that I could go to more strip clubs, watch more porn, review more sex shops and travel to more cities to do so… I have a limited amount of time, money and vacation days. If only a newspaper would hire me to do research and write articles like this one: Best sex toy purchases of 2005.

    Instead, I’ll be flying my self out to the UK and paying for my own sex toys and lap dances.

    So, if you ever hear about someone who would be interested in paying me to do any of these things (Ahh… the American dream; to get paid for doing the things you love), go ahead and send me an e-mail. I would even be willing to work for free if all my travel, food, lingerie and living expenses were paid for me… call it “sex blog slavery“.

    Say, does anyone out there think Sin Cities’ Ashley Hames needs a female co-star…?
