Sexy Saturday Round-up

By Liz Everly and the Lady Smut bloggers

Hello sexy! Happy Saturday! It’s very, very, very cold where I am. I don’t want to go outside. At all. But as you are reading this, I am off to sell and sign books. I wish I were you, sitting there, getting ready to read some great blog posts. Stay warm!

From Liz:

Madonna, what are you doing?

Dom Drop!

A reverse trend on bikini waxing.

From Madeline:

One woman’s defiance upon turning 30.

A critique over the ever popular “Gay For You” theme in m/m romances.

Only Lovers Left Alive

by C. Margery Kempe

“This is your wilderness? Detroit?”
“Everyone left.”

A couple of people left midway through the advance screening we caught. Perhaps they were expecting Thor pyrotechnics. Already a fan of Jim Jarmusch’s work, I knew the sort of film I’d be getting—in fact, I was eager for it.

Only Lovers Left Alive hooked me from the opening notes of Wanda Jackson’s ‘Funnel of Love’ played at a slightly slower pace with a looping crackle of vinyl sound, the swirling 45 alternating with swirl...

Disturbingly Sexy…

by Madeline Iva

Long live perversity! I’ve been snuggled up this Januaryindulging myself with some really perverse and interesting books. Feeling satisfied after devouring my pile, I wanted to share with you these disturbingly sexy reads.

Mary Burton – NO ESCAPE

Burton’s writing just keeps getting better.

Her books are generally disturbing – as any serial killer book should be. Mary loves/does nothing better than show you a helpless woman realize these are her last few seconds of life – and then...

Skipping Over The Sex Scenes

By Elizabeth Shore

Do you remember the first time you ever read a sex scene? I sure do. The book wasn’t even a romance, in fact it was a murder mystery, but there was a brief scene between two characters meeting for a secret tryst in a snow- covered woodsy cabin. There’s a bit of naughty phone talk as they arranged for the rendez-vouz, and – never having read anything like it before – what a scorcher it was for my virginal eyes! From that moment on, I was hooked on sex scenes.

Years after that...

St. Lucia–Beaches, Mountains, and Chocolate

We’ve sort of written a lot about the “romance of place” on Lady Smut. There was Alexa Day’s post on hot airport sex and then Madeline Iva’s post on hotel sex, just to name a few. I wrote a post not too long ago about Ecuador and recently realized that I promised to write a little about St. Lucia, the other place that CRAVINGS is set. How about hot tropical sex? Beach sex?

Besides the tropical climate and lush scenery and fabulous beaches and sunsets, ( I could go on a bi...

You Haven’t Come Such a Long Way, Baby

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

I love the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Beyond the delicious meta trip of wondering exactly what parts of the interactions between John and Jane Smith are characters in a movie and which ones are the on screen courtship of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, it’s a great action adventure movie that is, at heart, a romance about a marriage in trouble.

Next Stop on the Career Path: Part-Time Superheroine

By Alexa Day

Those of you who aspire to the writing life, take note. You’ll be told you need many things, but the most important, by a country mile, is a group of non-writer friends who will cheer you up when your dream job is trying to kill you. The other day, my crew was trying to lift my spirits by reminding me that I have a secret identity, a separate life shrouded in shadows, but in a cool way, like a superhero.

I don’t think I’m doing it right, though. See, if I were really committed to d...

Inspiration: Jacqueline Susann

by C. Margery Kempe

When I was growing up, there seemed to be a lot more writers on television. Not tucked away on obscure cable channels (ah, terrestrial television!) but on the chat shows like other important people. Back then people didn’tonly appear to plug things — or if they did, they bothered to be charming not just bored and hitting all the release dates.

Surely one of the most alluring of the public writers — i.e. people knew by name on sight — was Jacqueline Susann. She started out th...

Androgyny is Hot

by Madeline Iva

Don’t you think so? I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, but I know a number of people feel uncomfortable with it.I was at a dinner the other night where this guy was talking about his son who wears pink shirts, has painted nails, but also has had a girlfriend for the last two years. Dad was not happy. If he’s gay, the dad sad, he can support him 100% and walk that walk, talk that talk. Having a son something short of gay is what is making daddio unhappy. He doesn’t know...
