This review by Violet Blue has us salivating! Has anyone seen it yet?

"Walk All Over Me" The Movie / Film fest comedy-thriller hit stars Leelee Sobieski and Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer (Number Six) as dominatrices; Violet Blue asks director Robert Cuffley about all the whips and guns.

In "Walk All Over Me," Leelee Sobieski plays Alberta, who escapes an abusive relationship and flees to Vancouver where she looks up the only person she knows, her childhood babysitter, Celene (Tricia Helfer, "Battlestar Galactica's" Number Six). Helfer takes her in, and Sobieski works at a supermarket -- until she sees Helfer raking in $300 an hour as a dominatrix. Sobieski decides to give whip wielding and rubber corsets a spin -- naively impersonating Helfer, topping a male client who's in a whole lot of criminal trouble, and getting both women into a dangerous, action-filled predicament.

It's not difficult to imagine Number Six as a hot dominatrix. In fact, it's been my favorite pastime since I first heard of "Walk All Over Me."

No mention of BDSM or kink -- just "rough" sex. Where do you draw the line?

Canadian pierces lover's heart in botched sex game

A Canadian man who asked his lover to carve a heart-shaped symbol on his chest during a rough sex game almost died when she accidentally pressed too hard and punctured his heart, a newspaper said on Thursday.

The Winnipeg Free Press said the 25-year-old woman had been sentenced to three years' probation after she pleaded guilty to assaulting the man in February 2007.

The 24-year-old man was initially given little chance of survival but made a full recovery and is backing the woman. Both had been drinking heavily and engaging in rough sex when he asked the woman to carve the symbol.

As previously mentioned, I haven't been able to focus on researching a complete erotic art show for this week. But I have the beginnings of shows I've been building and rather than hold off yet another week, I'm cheerfully declaring this Erotic Art Friday an example of Less Is More.

I began compiling this show some weeks ago, after seeing a cool mechanical toy on eBay that showed a satyr and his nymphy love.

One minute they're chatting...

The next they're....well, here you go...munch munch munch.

This inspired me to start googling for other examples of satyrs -- and, just to keep the representation fair and equal, for images of succubi. Though you don't have to read the complete Wiki entries to enjoy these bits of arts, you can check out their listing on the Satyr for an excellent illustrated history of the horny creature. Their constant erections inspired doctors to name a medical condition after them: satyriasis. Yeah. What happens if you take too much Viagra (or if you take the right dose but something goes very wrong).

Herewith, a very brief snip from Wiki about the mythological half-man, half-goat. What's not to love?

Satyrs are described as roguish but faint-hearted folk — subversive and dangerous, yet shy and cowardly. As Dionysiac creatures they are lovers of wine, women and boys, and are ready for every physical pleasure.

Satyr

Wiki's entry on the succubus is far less complete, but offers a good working definition:

In Western medieval legend, a succubus...is a demon, who takes the form of a beautiful woman to seduce men, especially monks, in dreams to have sexual intercourse.

Succubus

It was interesting to see how many contemporary images of satyrs and succubi abound on the Internet, with many pagan and anime interpretations of these mythological creatures to be easily found. I opted for more classical representations of them whenever possible but included a number of contemporary works (particularly for the succubi).

Most interesting is that while the succubus is traditionally a woman who visits men at night, virtually all the ones I found searching under "succubus" during my first research sweeps across the Internet yielded either an incubus (the male version of a succubus) or the sprawled naked body of a ravished woman. My next round of research was going to be an effort to root out more literal depictions of the myth (a beautiful woman and a ravished man). So the incomplete research leaves me with an open question: where are all the devouring demon babes raping men? Were depictions of succubi too horrific (or sinful?) for classical artists to treat?

My original plan was to split satyrs and succubi into separate categories and do full show on each but since I only got about half way, I'm clumping them together. I'll start with the succubi -- after the jump. And by the way if you think there is an SM-y edge to some of these--I think so too.

So...I thought 2007 was pretty hairy but 2008 is getting so ridiculously crazy I'm almost starting to develop a grim sense of humor about it. In this week's news: my mom broke her hip on Wednesday and had surgery yesterday (her 87th birthday, no less). The surgery seemed to go okay but we'll know more soon. She is completely zonked on drugs and saying a lot of strange things right now. Ergo: I haven't had time or focus to research an art show completely for today. The Yiddish word for my current mood: fertumult.

Meanwhile, just found out from Jen that her co-worker and our good friend, totaled his car last night (walking away with bruises but no serious injuries, fortunately). Jeez. (Feel better soon, Al!!)

I think of the people of Myanmar and China and such troubles seem petty but I also know you can never compare such things. Are you having a cavalcade of bad news, affecting you or those near and dear to you? Is it something in the stars? The water? Or maybe, at least in my case, it's just TIME: that sad period in life when the members of the previous generation in your family (and your aging pets) simply reach the end of their days. In the past two years, we've lost six close relatives and three beloved pets.

Will is so stoic. Keeps repeating "death is a part of life, life is a part of death." Oddly, it helps.

Not the kind of news I usually cover but as someone who's watched waaaay too many bad SciFi channel movies, and who has a housemate who is morbidly fascinated with the newest and scariest in ecological disasters, I couldn't resist this story about billions of ants overrunning Houston.

In what sounds like a really low-budget horror film, voracious swarming ants that apparently arrived in Texas aboard a cargo ship are invading homes and yards across the Houston area, shorting out electrical boxes and messing up computers.link

They are omivorous and will eat everything from flora to other insects and even the hatchlings of a local grouse called the prarie chicken. They have destroyed all matter of electrical equipment, insinuating themselves into fire alarms and sewage pumps, mucking up the works as they go. link

If any raspberry ants are listening...please make your next stop Crawford.

Methinks the world has gone mad. With all due respect to the artist (Takashi Murakami, a designer for Louis Vuitton), I can't believe anyone paid that kind of money for this kind of work. Unless, of course, the buyer was Michael Jackson. (eeeeewwwwwwwwwww)

I've always wanted to see Iceland for its astonishing landscapes...and now, there may be an even better reason to go.

Icelandic museum offers long and short of male organ

...Hjartarson is founder and owner of the Icelandic Phallological Museum, which offers visitors from around the world a close-up look at the long and the short of the male reproductive organ.

His collection, which began in 1974 with a single bull's penis that looked something like a riding crop, now boasts 261 preserved members from 90 species.

The largest, from a sperm whale, is 70 kg (154 lb) and 1.7 meters (5.58 ft) long. The smallest, a hamster penis bone, is just 2 mm and must be viewed through a magnifying glass.

One species conspicuous by its absence is homo sapiens, but that may soon be rectified since a German, an American, an Icelander and a Briton have promised to donate their organs after death, according to certificates on display....

Not surprising....

A growing number of people from all over the world view the collection each year, 60 percent of them women.

...and the other 40% gay?

Beam up, Scotty!

Since I can't get out into the garden today, seems like a perfect time to reflect on the things of nature -- especially their sex habits.

Was fascinated recently to find a couple of studies on the sexual behaviors of flowers. Those pretty little sex organs we take for granted are filled with mysteries and intricate systems for spreading their pollen far and wide. As these mysteries are revealed, they suggest sexual behaviors that seem nearly human. How do plants achieve these coy mechanisms, without brains? And, by the way, wouldn't it be a blast if human sex organs were as versatile in their courtship?

For example, the orchid apparently has perfected a technique that mimics female wasps -- fooling males into mating with them. Scientists weren't sure why they did this but now it seems there is an evolutionary purpose: by drawing male wasps to mate with them (instead of female wasps), the flowers get a larger pool of wasps to carry their pollen to other orchids.

Sexy orchids do more than embarrass wasps: study

Orchids that mimic female wasps may not only waste the time of the male wasps they lure into spreading their pollen -- they also seduce them into wasting valuable sperm, Australian researchers reported on Wednesday.

And the flowers benefit twice -- getting help in their own reproduction, and perhaps indirectly producing more male pollinators in the process.

Some of the most exotic orchids are known to have evolved their convoluted shapes to attract insects, who unwittingly collect and transfer pollen as they try to mate with the flowers.

Meanwhile, have you ever wondered why flowers have long stems that make them wave so freely in the slightest breeze? Me neither. But scientists decided to look into the matter and discovered that it is yet another sexual ploy to attract potential pollinators. While humans may worry about whether size matters, in the world of waving flowers it's all about the wobble.

Flowers "wave" at insects to get their attention, scientists have discovered.

This acts as a powerful signal to passing pollinators, allowing the plant to attract more insects than less mobile flowers growing atop short, thick stems.

"We found wavy flowers are more visible to insects, and thus attract more pollinators and set more seeds," said John Warren.

But flowers ultimately face an evolutionary trade-off, he believes.

"Short, fat-stalked flowers don't wobble enough and are less attractive to pollinators; yet very wobbly flowers are just too wobbly for the insects to handle, as the insects cannot land on them.

"Only flowers that wobble the right amount are successful in setting seeds."

I think people forget, when surrounded by nature, that what really surrounds them is a non-stop orgy of animal and plant lust. Every living thing we see about us diligently goes about the business of getting fucked again and again and again. No wonder I love spending time in my garden.

Here's a youtube view of some lavendar seducing bees:

Do you suppose that one day, some of the little kids who play in this park will grow up to have a fetish for women whose giant asses jut out when they squat?

This article should explain why I nominate this couple as perhaps the world's skankiest BDSM couple. One wonders whether any of the people who visited the underage dominatrix realized they were subbing to a minor.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Federal prosecutors on Monday unsealed an indictment against a man and woman accused of training the woman's child to be a dominatrix, selling her services and photographing some of the acts.

U.S. Attorney John Wood said the case is the first in which a parent of the victim has been charged with the commercial sex trafficking of his or her own minor child.

Todd B. Barkau, 35, of New York, and the 44-year-old mother were charged in the seven-count indictment. Both used to live in Blue Springs, Mo. in the same household.

From Jan. 1, 2002, until Feb. 20, 2005, Barkau created a venture to entice the minor to engage in commercial sex acts, according to the indictment.

"The court filings allege that Barkau obtained control of a 12-year-old girl and he groomed, trained and forced her to become a sexual dominatrix..."

The problem with being a pervert is that little vanilla phrases can totally throw you off.

For example, SPEED-TV hosts a show called Unique Whips and, dammit, every time I surf channels and see the title, my finger *plips* the remote faster than my mind remembers it's just some show about car racing. I swear, it gets me every single time.

And then the other day, I was totally agog over the startling headline, Great tits cope well with warming , wondering what makes a tit great and who decides, and why does having great tits make it easier to cope with global warming? My rack's been frequently praised -- is it possible they are self-cooling? So I clicked and oh crap, it's about birds.

Maybe I should title my autobiography "Great Tits and Unique Whips" and call it a draw.

On the other hand, I confess I was not entirely disappointed by the link to these Big Tomatoes. They're like the Dolly Partons of organic farming.
