What's this? What's happening? What's going on?
Hello possums ! That greeting is an ode to the late, great Dame Edna Everage, who passed away on April 22nd. Her iconic butterfly-winged glasses reminded me that sometimes one just has to spread one's wings and fly. In real life we can only do this metaphorically by stepping out our comfort zone, or somewhat... Continue Reading →
I'm continuing my recently started series on the psychology of colour with a trusty design staple we're all getting slapped around with during this saccharine Valentine season. I am of course referring to the colour red. This hot colour is associated with exotic tastes, passion, love and romance but also with danger and all that... Continue Reading →
Whether you regard it as wishy washy pseudo science or not, colours have meaning. Maybe you don't have a strong favourite, but subconsciously you still may find yourself drawn to certain colours.

These days I've personally occasionally had the feeling that any talk about the possible outbreak of a... Continue Reading →
It's been a long time since I've posted something for the Latex & Leather Fetish series, but I found the Xavior Latex Sleeves by Noche, currently out at EQUAL10 (ends March 5th), particularly inspiring. There are burlesque theatres in Second Life™ but I'm not sure if any of them offer opportunities for male dancers, but... Continue Reading →
We're well into the holiday month and it's high time to take a look at the first new festive holiday item I got myself. For those of you who don't enjoy faffing about with a Christmas tree, why not use your own body? Noche has a Stringhlight Harness out at the current round of Fameshed... Continue Reading →
