Well, ladies and gents, tonight is opening night for Under the Mink, a production starring Toronto-based burlesque group The Scandelles.
One star of the group is Sasha Von Bon Bon, also known as the sex columnist for the Montreal Mirror.
If you’re in Toronto between January 11th and 21st, check out the show! For more information on the location of the theatre and to purchase tickets, click here.
If science is to be trusted and someday we will solve this problem called “death”, it is highly probable that we will start having major problems with overpopulation.
It’s times when I read articles such as this one when I wonder if overpopulation will someday cancel itself out due to a shortage of child bearers:
NEW DELHI As many as 10 million female fetuses may have been aborted in India over the past 20 years as families try to secure a male heir, according to a study published Monday in The Lancet, the British medical journal.
In the two decades since the wide availability of ultrasound equipment, which allows prenatal determination of sex, the number of girls born in India has declined steeply, despite a law banning doctors from revealing the sex of a fetus to parents.
Although the routine aborting of female fetuses has been widely documented, the study puts new light on the scale of the practice. Experts in India said Monday that they hoped the study would prompt the government to enforce the laws against the practice that are already on the books.
Campaigners have been trying to alert the government to the potential long-term social impact of the phenomenon warning that, among other problems, it will make it harder for men to find wives. In China, where a one-child policy is strictly enforced, prenatal sex selection has resulted in an estimated 40 million bachelors. [More]
This topic is nothing new, but what are we to do about the problem without starting to believe that nutjobs like Pat Robertson make sense?
It seems that the problem lies in the second child. In 2001, the sex ratio of births in India was 927 females to 1000 males. The difference is more apparent, however, in the sex ratio of a couple’s second child, 759 females to 1000 males. The outcome of this drop should have a significant effect on Indian society in the future… but what sort of effect?
I honestly don’t know what the future will hold but I have to wonder what sorts of challenges India will face when there are not enough women to marry off. Will there be an increase in rape rates? Will there be an increase in homosexual activity? Will there be an increase in intercultural marriages?
These are all very rhetorical questions, but I do truly wonder if this will have any effect on the conservative society. I wonder if India will someday become a more liberal society that would allow such concepts as swinger’s clubs similar to Canada.
One thing is for certain, even with a crash in the populations of China and India we’ll continue to head towards the same overpopulation scenario if the ageing gene can be stabilized. I guess we’d better keep working on developing space exploration to expand our species!
I would just like to inform my readers that, in addition to spam, rude and hurtful comments will also be deleted from MsKitka.com. I have no desire to keep comments on my site that are written by half-wits who just want to dish out their angst on the digital world. When I said that the site is ‘uncensored’, I meant that WordPress doesn’t restrict me from using ‘dirty’ words.
This announcement comes in response to a series of immature comments on my Dita Von Teese post which can be found here. I have already deleted the comments in question where some Dita fan tried to insult me by saying that I’m jealous of Dita and that I wish I were as beautiful as her, but I’m not. Well, newsflash… Dita has a team of makeup artists and stylists, whereas I do not. My photos are taken with a consumer-level digital camera, table lights and clothing/accessories that I have purchased with my own hard-earned cash.
Please think before leaving comments. Negative comments may only happen once in a blue moon, but I would prefer they do not happen at all. Remember, I have editing privileges so there is no way for you to win. “Resistance is futile… You will comply“.
The next time I travel to Edinburgh, I’m going to have to time it right:
IT’S 11:30pm on the sort of evening when your warmest coat doesn’t keep out the chill. Outside a nightclub on Edinburgh’s Blair Street, however, stands a shivering queue of Playboy bunnies and women in vintage cocktail frocks, snaking its way out of sight along the Cowgate.
This is the launch of Club Noir in Edinburgh, a night that promises to be rather different from the average urban beano of casually dressed students and twentysomething clubbers.
Entering the basement club, I pass a sultry girl with a feather boa and cigarette holder, chatting to a boy in a classic 1970s tux. Further down, a middle-aged couple in matching black leather outfits prop up the bar. [More]
Gees… I’m not even sure we have something this elaborate in Montreal! I often go to strip clubs wishing they were doing burlesque… the girls at strip clubs these days don’t usually do anything fun, they just walk around like they’re bored.
The thing that’s great about this club is that it has a wide variety of girls in different outfits. I’ve often wished that the Playboy Club hadn’t closed down in Montreal so I could go check out the beautiful women in tiny bunny outfits and thankfully I’ll get my wish if I get to attend Club Noir sometime.

If you haven’t seen Pirates yet, you have no idea what you’re missing. Fortunately, the adult film was not overlooked at the AVN Awards:
LAS VEGAS - Pirates made land at the Venetian Hotel for the 2006 AVN Awards last night and pretty much wasted the competition in the video feature categories. But it shared the spotlight with The New Devil in Miss Jones, an almost equally big winner on the film side.
A Digital Playground-Adam & Eve co-production and one of the costliest adult movies ever produced, Pirates captured 11 awards, the first single feature to score in double digits since The Fashionistas in 2002. Vivid Entertainment Group’s Devil, a remake of one of the classic X-rated films, won nine prizes.
The awards show played to a turned-on and appreciative crowd that packed the huge hotel ballroom. Co-hosts were Digital Playground contract star Jesse Jane and comedian Greg Fitzsimmons, who pleased his audience with a rowdy, pornocentric monologue.
Pirates took home prizes for Best Video, Best DVD, and Best High Definition Production, plus Best Director, Video, three acting awards and four others. Devil‘s awards included Best Film, Best Director, film, screenplay, cinematography and two performances.
If the industry knows what’s good for them, they’ll start making more high quality content like Pirates, but my personal desire is that they’ll get great actors like Evan Stone and Jesse Jane to act in a cool sci-fi porn flick. Since I get a hot watching the modern furnishings of 2001: A Space Odyssey, perhaps they’d like to make me a sexy porn remake…?
This weekend was a very successful one for our new Kitkast field correspondent, Parker. He called me on Saturday night to tell me that he got about 90 minutes of footage from the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo including some great interviews. I look forward to watching the raw footage from his DV tapes and working segments into upcoming episodes of Kitkast.
