Jun 22nd

Co-owned by Taryn and her fiancé Brett T., Taryn It Up titles will be distributed by Antigua Pictures and will focus on high end gonzo, reality-based projects with as many as three features per year.
“We plan to shoot one gonzo movie a month,” states Taryn. “We are going to be more about quality than quantity though and will not release a title to just keep up that pace. All of our product will be shot in HD on a Sony XD Cam and our photos will be top of the line. We want our product to have the sort of dirty, nasty, hard, boundary-pushing sex that I am known for, but at the same time it will be high-end and pretty.”
David Peskin, National Sales Manager for Antigua Pictures is excited to be working with Taryn. “We are extremely excited to have Taryn It Up Entertainment on board with us. Taryn is incredible gorgeous, a fierce performer, and I was always aware of how great all of her titles sold. The high quality niche product Taryn It Up will be releasing perfectly rounds out our distribution lineup here at Antigua Pictures.”
Antigua’s Todd Blatt is also excited about the relationship. “I am looking forward to a great working relationship with Taryn. With her great product and our great sales team it should be a win-win for us all!”
The company’s first release will be a gonzo-style movie called “Vogue Nasty.” Thomas will co-direct the project with British starlet Poppy Morgan. Critically-acclaimed director Kevin Moore has been brought on board to do the videography. In addition to her directorial duties, Taryn will star in a pair of white-hot anal romps.
“I am going to pick up where I left off,” Taryn says. “Hard and nasty just the way I like it!”
Bobbi Star and Veronica Jett will join Taryn and Poppy to make “Vogue Nasty” a memorable debut effort.
After “Vogue Nasty” Taryn It Up Will shoot their first feature, “Jon Minus Nine.” The project is a spoof of “Jon & Kate Plus 8.” It will be directed by industry veteran Jim Enright and will feature Kenji Styles and Lexi Lamour in the lead roles.
“We feel that the time is right for Jon and Kate to have their own porn parody,” says Brett.
In keeping with their promise to shoot a variety of high quality product, Taryn It Up will then start work on their first feature. Taryn is excited about the prospect of bringing her all-out sexuality to the genre.
“The script for our first feature film was written by George Kaplan, one of the most amazing writers in the business today,” exclaims Taryn. “We also have Jim Enright who’s one of the best directors in the business on board. I couldn’t be happier.”
With all the pieces in place, Taryn Thomas is ready to make Taryn It Up the hottest new production company in the business.

Sex Without Intimacy: No Dating, No Relationships : NPR
Jun 22nd
The hookup — that meeting and mating ritual that started among high school and college students — is becoming a trend among young people who have entered the workaday world. For the many who are delaying the responsibilities of marriage and child-rearing, hooking up has virtually replaced dating.
It is a major shift in the culture over the past few decades, says Kathleen Bogle, a professor of sociology and criminal justice at La Salle University.
Young people during one of the most sexually active periods of their lives aren’t necessarily looking for a mate. What used to be a mate-seeking ritual has shifted to hookups: sexual encounters with no strings attached.

NEW YORK — The granddaughter of Cuban revolutionary leader Ernesto “Che” Guevara is at the forefront of another revolution _ for vegetarianism.
Lydia Guevara poses semi-nude in a PETA campaign that tells viewers to “join the vegetarian revolution,” said PETA spokesman Michael McGraw.
The print campaign is expected to debut in October in magazines and posters, McGraw said. It will be launched first in Argentina, where Che Guevara was born, and then internationally. PETA approached the 24-year-old in recent months after finding out she was a vegetarian, McGraw said.

The Girlfriend Experience | Entertainment

Steven Soderbergh’s latest movie, The Girlfriend Experience, focuses on the life of a Manhattan call girl played by mega-porn-star Sasha Grey. Sex is on her menu, but the main course is the titular experience; for $2000 an hour, she’ll be your girlfriend, despite having a “real” boyfriend of her own. Grey’s character is making a fortune, but — Soderbergh implies — at some less-quantifiable cost to her humanity.
The movie is slick, clever, and funny, but is its depiction of high-end hooking at all realistic? Was Sasha Grey’s smoky New York pro at all believable? Why not ask the experts — a real high-end call girl, Trista, and a real high-end client, David. I sent them both to a screening to see what they really thought of The Girlfriend Experience. — Ondine Galsworth
What did you think of The Girlfriend Experience?
Trista: I really liked some of it, and some of it drove me nuts. I loved the cinematography and the pace. The color of the movie — the grayish moodiness. And the sets, the restaurants, the street scenes — it made me miss New York. It made New York sexy.

Assessing the Stripper Memoir
Jun 22nd
You’d never guess what you learn from reading them.

Are all naked women pretty much the same? Reading stripper memoirs would lead one to think so. It is a surprisingly rigid genre, with a set of rules and conventions as strict as those of sonnets or villanelles. These memoirs vary in tone, from Ruth Fowler, in Girl, Undressed, who writes like Sylvia Plath without the talent (“The bruise of men’s kisses has stained our breasts like crushed berries, fading gently into the sickly olive of a memory”) or Diablo Cody, of Juno fame, in Candy Girl, who writes like a grown-up Eloise at the Plaza (“Bossy bottoms absolutely slay me”), but they do tend to follow a surprisingly predictable form. You would think the subject would have a certain voyeuristic frisson, but something about stripping lends itself to cliché and obviousness, to the literary equivalent of fake breasts and caked mascara and silver thongs. Still a vast number of them have appeared on shelves, including Lily Burana’s good-natured Strip City, Elisabeth Eaves’ journalistic Bare, and Lacey Lane’s ditsy Confessions Of A Stripper. Herewith an anatomy of the conventions:

China to Google: Remove Your Porn. Google: OK.
Jun 22nd

After being on the end of harsh criticism and even having some of its search features blocked by China, GoogleGoogleGoogle has promised to completely remove all pornographic content from its indexes on the Chinese version of its search engine, Google.cn.
According to the BBC, Google has quickly complied; the company’s communications director, John Pinette said that Google is “undertaking a thorough review of our service and taking all necessary steps to fix any problems with our results.”
However, as noted by Techdirt, China’s requests have been oddly formulated, suggesting that the pornographic content they’re objecting to is Google’s property. It definitely seems that way: complaints from CIIRC – China Internet Illegal Information Reporting Center – suggest that Google has been “disseminating pornographic and vulgar information.” From one of CIIRC reports:

Why are conservatives such hypocrites about sex? | Salon
Jun 22nd

- Image via Wikipedia
Hello again. Last week’s column certainly initiated a robust debate and I appreciate the many thoughtful comments that were posted to the Web site. This week’s question is, I’m sure, almost sure to do likewise.
If I may paraphrase the question, Rachel wants me to explain why conservatives who talk about the importance of traditional values often fail to live up to those values in their personal lives and why other conservatives are often willing to turn a blind eye to those indiscretions.
First of all, I’m not sure it is the case that most conservatives are willing to overlook personal indiscretions like infidelity when considering whom to vote for. Whether or not Newt Gingrich runs for president in 2012 — and it is not at all clear that he is running — he has to be prepared to explain to a certain portion of the GOP primary electorate why the fact that he is a twice-divorced, thrice-married man does not automatically eliminate him from consideration as a serious candidate. There are a number of people out there who, I am almost certain, would not vote for him under any circumstances because of it.

June 22, 2009 | Castro Valley, Calif. — “Boob play,” “pics of kitty,” “topless housecleaning” and “hypno role play.” The list, scribbled in a lined yellow notebook, is followed by a double-underlined figure: $725.
It’s 9 a.m. on a Friday and 30-year-old Marie is sitting on her couch clad in Donald Duck pajamas, munching on buttered toast and staring at her cellphone like she can will it to ring. If someone calls in response to the ad she posted this morning on Craigslist, she can add $75 to her projected income for the month.
Five months ago, before being laid off, Marie was bringing in $45,000 a year at Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Now, she operates out of two offices: her living room and a regularly changing hotel room. Her uniform is different, too: Instead of conservative business attire, she dons a lace bra and booty-hugging capris. The former corporate supervisor has become a sex worker.
