She spent five years researching the book; drawing on her own work, talking to international experts and scouring the scientific journals. The result is an accessible, humorously written book divided into bite-sized chapters like "Orgies", "Does Size Matter", "Sneaky Sex" and "When Love Hurts" with a photographic spread on each page. This interview features some of Marris's favorite anecdotes about deepsea kink. One of her personal favourites is the Deep Sea Angler (Melanocetus johnsoni), a grotesque looking fish that lives deep in the ocean. "The female angler isn't the most attractive thing but she's in the deep deep depths so it doesn't matter," says Marris. To attract a male, she secretes a sweet smelling perfume that arouses him so much that he is compelled to pursue and bite onto her. "This is some extraordinary love bite because he never lets go," Marris says. "He becomes fused to her and basically becomes a blob of testicles on her skin. "She then chemically commands him to release sperm when she wants, so she's got this permanent sex slave. "One female brought up from the depths had 11 males attached to her, she was one lucky girl." Sheree Marris sounds like a very weird woman. In a good way. Unfortunately, the book doesn't seem to be available in American stores, and Amazon doesn't have an Australian site. Elsewhere, Radio Live in New Zealand has a podcast interview with Marris.
An online sex video featuring a popular young TV star has riveted the nation for more than a week now, much as Hilton's notorious clip seized worldwide attention when it hit the Internet a few years ago. But unlike the American celebrity, the 19-year-old woman at the center of Vietnam's sex scandal had cultivated a good-girl image. And unlike Hilton, Hoang Thuy Linh will not be able to capitalize on her newfound notoriety. Thuy Linh's show has been canceled and her career is over, capped by a tearful farewell on national television during which she apologized for disgracing her family and disappointing her fans, most of them high-school girls. In "Vang Anh's Diaries," Thuy Linh portrayed an earnest high school girl, modern and stylish but determined to uphold the traditional virtues of "cong," "dung," "ngon" and "hanh," which promote women as tidy, charming, soft-spoken and chaste. Then the 16-minute video hit the Internet on Oct. 15 featuring Thuy Linh in bed with her former boyfriend, both apparently aware that they were on camera. Ever since, the video has been the talk of Vietnam, where people secretly watch it at work, e-mail the Internet link to their friends and talk about it in the country's ubiquitous sidewalk cafés. Vietnam's state-owned television station VTV-3 promptly canceled "Vang Anh's Diaries" after broadcasting Thuy Linh's humiliating farewell on Oct. 15. Watch the video here if you're so inclined: part one and part two. (UPDATE: Those two yourfilehost.com clips total only six minutes. Try btmon.com to download the 16-minute version via BitTorrent.) It's grainy, pixelly cellphone video, which becomes a blurry mess anytime there's rapid movement. So what? Grainy, pixelly, blurry cellphone video of a beautiful 19-year-old girl in a vigorous hotel room romp is worth watching, and doubly hot because she's famous somewhere. Shame about her career though. In the modern civilized world, unauthorized sex tapes and nudie pics more commonly provide career-boosting sympathy and buzz rather than career-ending disgrace. Nick Gillespie wrote in 2003 about the Paris Hilton sex tape and (never circulated) Jessica Lynch topless photos: [T]here's no question that the entire "scandal" has brought far more attention to and interest in The Simple Life. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the story is one that has gone uncommented upon: There's been no hint from the suits at Fox that the tape—or other revealing skin shots of Hilton out there on the Web—will lead to the show's being pulled or the star's being canned. Indeed, in a savvy bit of corporate synergy, Fox News Channel's resident rageaholic Bill O'Reilly (the last angry man since Bill Bennett found peace through slot machines and threw in the perpetual outrage towel during the Clinton years) is touting the Hilton story not as a sex scandal that illustrates immoral youth but as one about invasions against "privacy." Maybe Hoang Thuy Linh should come to the States and do a season of The Surreal Life? Monday, October 29, 2007
A member of the royal family has been targeted in an alleged “sex and drugs” blackmail plot being investigated by Scotland Yard. The royal - who cannot be named for legal reasons - called in the police after being approached by two alleged blackmailers in August. The men demanded £50,000 not to publicise a video, which they suggested showed the royal engaged in a sex act. The case is understood to be the first time in more than 100 years that a member of the royal family has been the victim of blackmail. During telephone calls to the royal’s office, the suspected blackmailers also claimed to have evidence suggesting that the royal had supplied an aide with an envelope containing cocaine. They claimed that they had a video tape showing the aide snorting the drug. After the approach from the two men in August, the royal tipped off Scotland Yard. Detectives then set up an undercover operation to trap the suspects. On September 11, two men were arrested in a police sting at a London hotel. They were seized as they played what they claimed was the sex video in a suite at the Hilton hotel on Park Lane in Mayfair. The men thought they were showing the film to a member of the royal’s staff. In fact, the man they met was an undercover detective from Scotland Yard’s kidnap and blackmail unit. Many sources claim that the blackmail video shows the aide performing oral sex on the royal. Other sources claim that the video just shows the aide talking about having blown the royal sometime in the past. The Age summarizes some British tabloid rumors: The suspects were arrested after a detective posing as a royal staff member met them at the Hilton Hotel in Mayfair. The detective was reportedly shown mobile phone footage of cocaine being cut with a Harrods credit card before being snorted. The Daily Mail reported that the person in the video made allegations of a sex act with a royal. Yesterday The Sun newspaper published photos of one of the suspects, described as a wealthy socialite who had met young members of the royal family. The suspect's lawyer, Giovanni di Stefano, said his client had never contacted the royal household. "There is no video of any member of the royal family ... There is an allegation from an aide ... against two members of the royal family, not one. "What there is in existence are tapes ... of an assistant to a member of the royal family boasting of how he received a sex act Whether that act took place I do not know," he said. And apparently the unnamed royal and aide are both male. Time dishes, "Some accounts suggested that the video showed the royal engaged in a gay sex act with the aide; in tamer versions, the aide was said to have made claims about a gay sex act with the royal." Alas, the tamer version appears to be the accurate version. So which royal family member are we talking about? The British press can't legally say who. The Guardian explains, "The royal cannot be identified because of reporting restrictions imposed under section 11 of the Contempt of Court Act. This is common practice in allegations of blackmail to ensure that the claims a defendant is accused of threatening to make do not become public through court proceedings." But the same article also notes that "a name was being circulated yesterday", so it's only a matter of time before someone outside the UK passes along the name. Woosh, that didn't take long. Meet the Royal in the Sex, Coke Scandal. Radar reveals: Who is the British royal family member at the center of the sex and cocaine scandal? It's not Charles, Edward, or even Harry but Viscount David Linley, son of the late Princess Margaret, twelfth in line to the throne, sources tell Radar. His story is blowing up the British papers today, but British law prohibits any of them from naming the hard-partying royal. As the tale goes, two men demanded £50,000 from 45-year-old Linley in return for footage allegedly showing a royal aide talking of gay sex with him. The aide is also allegedly seen on a video tape taking cocaine from an envelope embossed with Linley's name. Excuse me while I rush to register viscount-david-linley-sex-tape.com. Seriously, is this what the "celebrity sex tape" craze has come to? Cellphone footage of someone talking about having sex with a middle-aged furniture designer that no one has ever heard of? Don't get me wrong, I still desperately want to see the tape, but this game is losing its thrill.
"Today in aesthetic surgery, plastic surgeons reshape many body parts - the nose, butt, hands, tummy - most of the procedures are very intensive, risky ones, with long recovery periods, problems with scars, inconvenience. We're trying to develop a method to replace those surgical procedures with minimally invasive kits," says the MIM CEO Adi Cohen. Another problem with current procedures is their failure to prevent breasts from later sagging. "They last only for limited period of time after treatment," Cohen told ISRAEL21c. "Newton is around, and gravity is working, and everything is falling again - what we call ptosis." Less complicated surgery, more effective results, what's not to like? So how does MIM work? "What we've done is build a silicon bra, insert it into the body and attach it to the ribs and to the fascia. It's like a normal external bra," he continues, "where a strip lies on the shoulder and attaches around the body. We attach it to the ribs instead of to the shoulder, and to the fascia in the lower part of the body." "I call it an internal bra," [inventor Dr. Eyal Gur, head of microsurgery at Tel Aviv's Ichilov Hospital] told ISRAEL21c. "All women are looking for the right bra that will hold their breasts in the position they like or prefer aesthetically. There's an increasing trend towards buying push-up bras to enhance the upward breast pull. "So I was thinking that with a harness created from materials used in medicine - silicon, threads and very small anchoring screws - we could support breast tissue and avoid further breast sagging." The procedure is minimally invasive requiring two small openings through which the device is attached to the ribs. You're probably thinking — doesn't "silicon bra inserted under the skin, attached to the ribs and fascia" sound pretty damn invasive? "It may sound scary but take a look at cosmetic and plastic surgery - that's much more invasive," said Gur. "The most prevalent procedure in the world is breast implantation. Who is the crazy woman who agreed to be the first woman to put silicon into her body? Very strange things happen within the cosmetic world and the MIM is not as crazy as it sounds; that's the end point of what I'm saying." [...] "Statistic show that about 8% of American women who undergo breast lifts end up filing malpractice suits due to sagging. Our device is safer than breast surgery and will prevent the need for these women to undergo a second invasive procedure." The company hasn't done any human testing yet, so the technique won't be available publicly anytime soon. Considering the debacle over silicon breast implants (companies successfully sued for billions, products banned for a decade over scientifically bogus health scares), approval for performing this technique in the USA would be a long, difficult process. Interesting threads at Feministe and Women's Health News. As a man who likes breasts, I couldn't help thinking about this issue raised in the WHN comments: "I see the same potential problem with this that arises with fake breasts ... that is, getting intimate with someone and them going “*gropegrope* ... ew.” Only being worse cos the feeling is only in one small part of the boob." |
