Pink Christmas in Amsterdam

Pink Christmas in Amsterdam - celebrating Christmas with the Drag Queen Olympics

It's Christmas Eve, and here in Germany everybody celebrates today. While we stop to ponder, what's up with that? we take a look at how people are celebrating around the world - in Amsterdam of course they're doing it with their own inimitable sense of style - it's Pink Christmas with the Drag Queen Olympics (with competitions including the famous Present Throw...)

Wonderful Burlesque Performer and Connaisseur of the scene Lady Lou shares with us

"the Wonderful World of the Erotic Female Fantasy"

- by Lady Lou

Recently I came up with any interesting theory that may answer the question: Why at a Burlesque event is it the women more than the men that are captivated while watching a Burlesque performer take her clothes off? My answer: It's because Burlesque allows women to express their erotic fantasies without judgment or limitations and it isn’t only about satisfying the sexual needs of men.

The other night I was dinning with a group of friends and the topic of pornography came up. I was delighted for this gave me a chance to ask the men at the table a question that has always been on my mind... "Why is the acting and narrative in porn movies always so shockingly bad?". It's like the makers of porn want it this way, I mean seriously how difficult can it be to put a story together that actually makes sense and attempts to be even slightly entertaining? The men at the table all laughed and said "It's because nobody watches the story, we all just skip straight to the sex!".

Hhhmmm this could explain a lot, not only about the bad acting but about the differences between women and men when it comes to sex and why a lot of women fall in love with Burlesque. For example the narrative part at the beginning of a porn movie is important for me. I like to know what the setting is, who the characters are and what roles they play. This way I can enter their world and become a part of the fantasy. Which is what a Burlesque performer is doing, she is transporting the audience to a world where she explores her own erotic fantasy. Therefore the men in the audience become spectators while the women in the audience can immerse themselves in the performance and seek inspiration for their own wishes and desires.

Sexy Christmas everybody!

Continuing with our sporadic sex blog - Nadya's further adventures from where we left off

The ARMY? Martial arts? A writer? All I understood from this was that he was a manly man, a literate manly man, and would likely have no problem pinning my arms down and fucking me like a hungry stallion on methamphetamine. No scrawny hipster he. No idiot TV-watcher was James. He was kind of exactly what I was looking for.

This was now so goddamn bizarre I actually didn’t want to log off. Herein lies my most major problem, and the reason why I encounter nothing but madness in the opposite sex: I attract weirdos and I humour them. Having been thought of as a nutcase for my entire life by most people simply because I do and say whatever I want to, I actually have sympathy for eccentric people. I shouldn’t, and I’m learning not to, but I do.

Within about twelve seconds, there were the usual messages flooding my Inbox: misspelled, grammatically-unsound introductions. Cocky, swaggering braggadocio. Cheerful, lovely bids for my attention accompanied by photos of themselves drinking beer alongside a pickup truck with their shirtless paunches hanging to crotch level. Filthy, one-track-minded messages boasting of their sexual prowess.

After an untimely break, instead of plowing on with the story, we thought we'd run the last chapters again in case you get confused....So here goes, the whole story from top to bottom! After a thorough detox session in a hospital to get me started on (what I hope will be) a lifetime of sobriety, I decided to spend my first alcohol-free year focusing exclusively on me. Along with getting my physical and mental health into fierce shape, this also meant that I would avoid temptations of the flesh and not allow myself to get entangled with the opposite sex, for fear that it would simply complicate my vulnerable state. In other words, I took a vow of celibacy.

Well. Well, well, well. I scrolled through his own profile, and was actually impressed. First of all, he had a complete command of written English, meaning that his grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and vocabulary were up to par and intelligent. He sounded very down-to-earth, with a straightforward description of how he enjoyed writing, reading books, the nature of British Columbia (after living in a horrendous Ontario town), Zen Buddhism, and cooking. So far, out of all the candidates, this fellow--James--seemed to be the most boink-worthy.

Since I was sober, I couldn’t exactly go to the bar and snag a token chap. Even when I was a drinker, in fact, I never did this, unless meeting a fellow tunesmith at the local open mic night could be considered “picking up a guy at the bar.” I didn’t attend AA meetings because I had devised my own proactive system of staying clean which has been mightily effective to this very day, and besides, getting romantically involved with a 12-stepper immediately defines a massive portion of your bond. I don’t play sports, I don’t belong to clubs or organizations, and even though, as an ESL teacher, I had become involved with former students several times (well after they ceased being my students, I feel I must add), that sort of conduct now struck me as sleazy and unethical.
