Well, hello there, Mr. Bollywood.
Today I’m over-the-top excited to have the first Bollywood film actor and now *scorching*hot romance cover model Vikkas Bhardwaj join me for a virtualtête-à-tête. Vikkas was incredibly generous with his time as we hashed over everything from diet and exercise that keep him drool worthy to causes he believes in to karma. Oh, and Vikkas also tells uswhy we don’t have to be jealous of his girlfriend. Whew!
Elizabeth Shore:Hi Vikkas! Thanks for...

Lady Smutters Out in the Real World
by Kiersten Hallie Krum
From time to time, we here at Lady Smut stepaway from our laptops, peek cautiously out the door, and venture out into the real world.
Okay, not really. We tend to go charging out into trouble. Making it if we can’t find it, because what fun is that?

Sexy Sunday Snippet: Under Her Skin
by Madeline Iva
Hey readers–here’s a snippet of Adriana Anders’ forthcoming novel UNDER HER SKIN.
A darkly possessive relationship has left Uma alone and on the run. Beneath her drab clothing, she hides a terrible secret-proof of her abuse, tattooed onto her skin in a lurid reminder of everything she’s survived.
Caught between a brutal past and an uncertain future, Uma’s reluctant to bare herself to anyone, much less a rough ex-con whose rage drives him in ways she will never understand. But...

Give Me A Side Of Sex With My Frights
Apparently, it’shappened again. I blinked and suddenly summer was over. WTF? I was just pulling out my floaty flower-print dresses and strappy sandals five minutes ago, wasn’t I? NowI’m hunting for sweaters and boots. Ah well. Tempting though it may be to mourn summer’s demise, let’s look on the bright side. It’s October, peeps! Fall colors, crisp chill in the air, everything under the sun made with pumpkin, everything under the sun made with apples, and, oh yeah. Hallowee...

This week, it’s back in the headlines as presidential hopeful Donald Trump is called to task for his public shaming of former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, particularly in regard to her weight.
This isn’t the first, nor will it be the last time a woman is publicly shamed or castigated or made to be less than worthy due to her weight and appearance....
