America’s golden age—that is, its sexy stewardess era—of aviation might be over, but Asian airlines still uphold a reputation for hiring beautiful female flight attendants. Over in Japan, Japan Airlines is struggling to curb the smuggling of flight attendant uniforms to the country’s sex clubs. Since announcing bankruptcy in January, JAL has worked to prevent former employees (among others) from selling their uniforms to the black market, which drop major bank for outfits that come with a polaroid of their previous owner.

Stormy Daniels, Louisiana Porn Star, Expected To Announce Whether She Will Challenge Vitter For Senate Seat
Mar 3rd

AP – The Louisiana-born porn star who was flirting with a run for the U.S. Senate from her home state will announce “very soon” whether she’s really going to make the 2010 race against incumbent David Vitter, her political spokesman says.
Stormy Daniels has had little to say about the race since summer. She continues to promote her adult entertainment ventures and personal appearances online. But, as of Monday, the political Web site set up to promote and fund a possible candidacy, www.teamstormy.com, had not been updated in over six months and there hadn’t been a TeamStormy “tweet” on Twitter since last August. Louisiana’s Secretary of State still lists the Stormy Daniels Senate Exploratory Committee, a limited liability corporation formed in May, as being in good standing with the state but it’s unclear whether it has been doing fund raising or other political activity.
She acknowledged last year that she has not lived in the state for years. There is no sign she has re-established residency, which would be required for a Senate run.
Daniels didn’t respond to a request for an interview. Brian Welsh, the Democratic operative listed as an officer in the exploratory committee, said in response to an e-mail query that there will be an official statement about her plans “very soon” but he gave no specific date.
In July, Daniels (whose real name is Stephanie Clifford) was arrested in Tampa, Fla., after her husband told police that she hit him several times during a dispute about laundry and unpaid bills. Charges were later dropped.
In the Internet TV race, Boxee and Roku could get a boost from adult video | Technology | Los Angeles Times

YouTube on the big screen is great, but what about YouPorn?
Relative newcomers to the battle to bring the Internet into the living room could get an unexpected boost from the adult entertainment industry. The current competitors in the set-top-box space are in a slow push-and-tug, tit-for-tat exchange from which no clear winner has emerged.
Apple TV has the advantages of a brick-and-mortar distribution channel, the digital distribution of iTunes and the still-underutilized advertising might of Apple Inc.

And there’s no subject or function too taboo or outrageous. Here are a few examples:

Dallas police are treating sex workers as victims. Will it work?
By Tracy Clark-Flory
A woman is arrested for prostitution and given a choice: Jail or rehab — take your pick. It sounds like a far-fetched scenario — especially in the United States, where decriminalization attempts have been resisted — but it’s one that is playing out right now in Dallas. Call it a sex worker’s get out of jail drug-free card.
Once a month, police round up prostitutes at local truck stops and take them to nearby “mobile command units” in the form of 18-wheeler trucks, the Associated Press reports. They are pressed for vital intel (for example, whether any local pimps are trafficking underage girls) before undergoing a social services screening and being offered various medical tests and treatment. Then it’s off to a courtroom-on-wheels.
“If the women have no felony warrants and seem sincere, the judge gives them the opportunity to avoid jail and enter rehab,” according to the AP. “After 45 days of inpatient counseling, they receive help with education, child care and housing.” There is no doubt these women are desperately in need of the help: The truck stops are the “bottom rung of prostitution,” according to Dallas police Sgt. Louis Felini. “They are trading sex for survival needs: food, a place to sleep,” he says. Not to mention, the vast majority are users, crack being the drug of choice.

Huffington Post: Liberal Politics, Sexist Entertainment – The Sexist – Washington City Paper
Jun 9th
It’s no secret that The Huffington Post fancies itself a left-leaning Web rag. Wikipedia describes Arianna Huffington’s aggregatorial monster as “an American liberal news website.” Conservapedia’s definition, however, might be more helpful: “The site is an extreme mouthpiece for liberals,” it reads. “The Huffington Post calls itself an internet newspaper of blogs, news and video but often is referred to as a hate site where its one-sided news cannot be trusted.”
But even HuffPo’s liberal readership gets tired of hating on conservatives sometimes, guys. Sometimes, they just want to sit back, relax, and look at accidentally bare nipples—just like the rest of America. This one-sided liberal hate site has one fatal weakness—boobs. Let’s check out some recent stories from the Huffington Post’s entertainment section:

After long days at Erotica LA fans can come party with me naked at the best gentlemen’s clubs in Southern California.”
In addition to feature dancing, Tera is expected to have a few surprise announcements for fans during Erotica LA.
ABOUT TERA PATRICK
Tera Patrick is the number one pornstar in the world today. With a classy, exotic, and more Glamour Queen than Porn Queen look, a voluptuous body, and keen sense for business, Tera has transcended hardcore to mainstream celebrity, emerging as the millennium’s first authentic global sex symbol.
Born in Great Falls, Montana to an American Army doctor father of English and Dutch descent and a Thai mother, Tera moved around quite a bit as a child both in the U.S. and overseas, gaining a valuable, early understanding of different peoples and cultures. At the tender age of 13, she was discovered by a Japanese photographer on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco and immediately enrolled in the venerable Barbizon Modeling School. Soon after, Tera signed with Morning Sun modeling agency and became an overnight success in both print and runway, spending most of her teen years as a working model in Japan, Europe and New York.
Upon returning to the U.S. after immense success overseas, Tera felt compelled to give something back and removed her high heels long enough to enroll in Boise State University to take undergraduate classes in biology. Finding helping others truly fulfilling, Tera pursued a career in medicine by earning a certificate as an emergency medical technician and studying until she achieved a degree to be a registered nurse. She landed jobs in nursing homes and emergency rooms in Simi Valley, California, clearly becoming the sexiest girl in white her hospital had ever seen.
Even though Tera genuinely enjoyed nursing, friends convinced her to get back into modeling. She soon found herself at an open audition for Playboy and was selected from among a thousand ambitious and gorgeous ladies for both the magazine and Playboy TV. In the blink of an eye, Tera Patrick was gracing the covers of every important men’s publications, including Hustler, Club, Swank, Velvet, High Society, and Cheri. She remains t he only woman to ever grace the covers of Playboy and Penthouse simultaneously and she still holds the laudable position of publisher of Genesis magazine. And to this day, she is the only erotic performer to appear on the cover of the domestic FHM. She also appeared on the cover of FHM U.K., where she served as the magazine’s sexpert for four years.
A hopeless exhibitionist, Tera further explored her sensuous side and in late 1999 she stepped onto the big and small screens, accepting roles in various nude and soft-core features like The Seduction of Maxine and other “skin-a-max”-type soft-core flicks. While her first film, Aroused, directed by adult visionary Andrew Blake, was indeed a hardcore film, she only performed with a girl making her role in the film soft-core. Her first hardcore film (girl-boy) came later that year/next year in the Adam & Eve production Fire and Ice. Tera’s naughty notoriety spread even further through her co-hosting role on Night Calls 411 on Playboy TV from 2000-2003.
In her almost 10 years in the entertainment business,Tera has been featured in over 100 adult films and has appeared on more magazine covers than any other adult star in history. Since winning the coveted “Best New Starlet” award for her first film, Tera has gone on to win every major award in the medium and she continues to set records on the adult charts.
In 2002, she met the man of her dreams – Evan Seinfeld of the HBO prison drama Oz and founder/lead singer/bassist of the multi-platinum hardcore Brooklyn rockers Biohazard. After a whirlwind romance, the couple tied the knot in Las Vegas on Jan. 9, 2004 and currently reside in California.
In 2003, Tera and Evan formed their own production company, Teravision. Tera exploded as a contract star (a “Vivid Girl”) for porn giant Vivid Entertainment, but the dynamic duo was confident they could produce top quality adult fare on their own. Today, Teravision releases two High Definition erotic adult movies each month via U.S. distribution through Vivid and their porn empire goes beyond Teravision. They also have a licensing and marketing division (The Tera Patrick Agency), a lingerie line (Mistress Couture), a radio show (Rockstar/Pornstar on Playboy Radio on Sirius), a hardcore production company (Iron Cross), and some of the most popular porn websites on the Internet, including their official flagship site, TeraPatrick.com.
Tera’s superstar status has also been furthered by countless appearances in the mainstream media, including a cameo in the blockbuster Will Farrell comedy Blades of Glory, a storyline based on her and co-starring her on Cartoon Network’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force, an appearance in the video game Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood, and her role a spokesperson and downloadable character for the video game Saints Row 2. Mainstream fans also know Tera from various specials and shows on CNBC, HBO, WE, MTV, E!, VH1 and of course the Howard Stern Show.
Tera is booked solid on an exhaustive schedule; celebrity appearances from Conventions like AVN, and Exxxotica , to Video stores and record stores and even DJ’s at the hottest clubs in America, in NY, Miami, Chicago, Reno, Los Angeles, and many more, including several appearances each year at the top grossing nightclub-restaurant in the world, Tao Las Vegas. Tera is the top feature dancer selling out gentleman’s clubs around the world and is getting ready to heat up Las Vegas with her very own live burlesque show!
Tera is also extremely active in the adult film community, raising money for CAUSES SUCH AS the Free Speech Coalition and A.I.M Healthcare and the cancer-battling organization, B.A.B.E. (Breast Awareness Benefits Everyone).
In 2008 Tera and her husband Evan created a public service announcement for the Restricted To Adults – RTA Website Label to remind parents to utilize parental filtering software. Created by the online child protection organization the Association of Sites Advocating Child protection (ASACP), RTA is committed to protecting children from viewing age-inappropriate content. In 2009 ASACP honored Tera and Evan and their efforts to protect children online with its annual Service Recognition Award.
Currently, Tera has three mainstream instructional fitness videos BEING released, titled Fit for Sex, with the company that brought us Carmen Electra’s Aerobic Striptease. And, she begins hosting her new show, School of Sex on Playboy TV, this fall in which Tera gives sex advice while her teachers’ helpers act-out the advice. She will also star in her new burlesque show, Sex, which debuts in January 2009. Tera and Evan are currently writing their joint autobiography Rockstar/Pornstar: An American Love Story with entertainment journalist Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna, author of Cherry Bomb: The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Better Flirt, a Tougher Chick, and a Hotter Girlfriend, and to Living Life Like a Rock Star and Eyewitness Nirvana: The Day-by-Day Chronicle.

Summer is coming, hide the virgins! – Broadsheet – Salon.com
Jun 8th

Sun, sweat and stretches of bronzed skin — there’s no denying summer gets people thinking about sex. Most of us relish this sunscreen-slicked sensuality, but for some abstinence advocates, it presents the specter of young and unmarried bodies rolling in the sheets. It’s chastity’s yearly trial by fire. Recently, the seasonal panic has reliably yielded a crop of articles about the horrors of hookup culture and, sure enough, as the warmest months approach, it’s clear this year will be no exception.
Lopez suggests a role model for these women: a prepubescent sixth-grade girl.
NPR reports on the decades-old trend with the cutting edge of a retirement community’s resident-written newsletter: Apparently, “hooking up” means kissing, petting and having intimacies without any commitment! On the other end of the age spectrum, Cosmopolitan has a feature in its July issue about women in their early twenties who are still virgins. (Breaking news alert: College virgins do exist.) But the casual sex panic really begins with The National Review’s infamous Kathryn Jean Lopez, who got worked up over Cosmo’s reportage. Now, some snark is reasonable, given the non-news at hand, but that isn’t the bee in Lopez’s bonnet. She’s irritated because the article’s pure protagonists are “on the brink” of giving in to peer pressure and handing over their “v card,” as the glossy calls it.
Like a conservative in shining armor, Lopez comes to the rescue of these distressed damsels. In all seriousness, she suggests a role model: a sixth-grade girl — who probably hasn’t even gone through puberty yet. She trots out little Hannah, an abstinence-only grade school student in Newark, New Jersey, who says she’s learned she has “the right to say no to sex and drugs … to respect myself and the ones around me … to have trust, faith, and self-esteem.” That is a wonderful thing, truly. One day, though, she might learn how fragile “self-esteem” is when it’s built on an ability to police her own (and even more so others’) sexuality; maybe, too, she’ll realize that the respect those abstinence classes speak of doesn’t come from inside (where it really matters), but from the outside (where it shouldn’t).

Jun 7th
Porn star Stormy Daniels says she’s still trying to decide whether to challenge Sen. David Vitter for his Louisiana Senate seat next year.
Sunday, June 07, 2009
Stormy Daniels, the Louisiana-born porn star considering a run for Senate, admits her political ambitions may seem “ludicrous” but insists she’s seriously considering a challenge against incumbent Sen. David Vitter.
Daniels, star of such films as “Operating Desert Stormy,” started a “listening tour” in Louisiana last month.
She told FOX News on Sunday that she’s still trying gauge whether “this is something that I want to do, if I’m capable of doing it.” But she said if she makes her run official, she’ll do everything in her power to “make it legit.”
