Nudity On The Fourth Plinth]]> Last week, we told you about Naomi McDonald, the British dancer who turned Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth into a peep show as part of the One & Other public art project. Well, Naomi wasn't the only one to go nude.

Naturist Holiday is keeping a running tab of each and every naked body atop the Fourth Plinth. As of today, there've been eleven naked Plinthers...our fingers are crossed that we get to see a few more during the project's final two weeks.

<![CDATA[Live Nude Girl Transforms Trafalgar Square Into A Peep Show]]> Since July, the fourth plinth in London's Trafalgar—usually reserved for statues of kings and generals—has been taken over by One & Other, which invites Londoners to use the space however they wish, one hour at a time.

This morning, One and Other showcased one of its most popular participants of all: Naomi McDonald, a dancer from Stringfellows lapdancing club, spent her hour honing her craft (to the delight of many passersby). Clad only in a pair of panties and heels, and armed with a mini pole, Naomi pole danced her way into the hearts of many Londoners—and crashed the One and Other website in the process.

Who says art is boring?

<![CDATA["Breakfast" With Anna Friel: Toast And Tea With A Side Of Breasts]]> Sure, you've seen Anna Friel's breasts countless times...in the movies. But what if you could see Anna Friel's breasts in real life? London's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" revival has the lovely actress giving us a, ahem, full English breakfast.

And from what we see in the preview pictures, it tastes delicious. So, uh, who wants to fly us out to London? And also get us some theater tickets? The show opens September 29...so you have a few days to fight amongst yourselves and figure out who gets this honor.

<![CDATA["Tart Cards": How The World's Oldest Profession Advertises]]> Long before Craigslist's Erotic Services section gave sex workers an easy way to advertise online (and then, ahem, took it away), the sex workers of London were advertising their wares through a creative medium known as tart cards.

Often found on the walls of London's iconic red phone booths, these advertising cards have been around since the 1980's—and have evolved over time, as changes in printing technology have allowed them to become more sophisticated and complex. "Tart Cards" has collected more than 350 of these works of art, providing some background on how they came about, how they've evolved, and what, exactly, "a-levels" refers to. Curious? Take a sneak peek inside in the gallery below.

<![CDATA[Hello "Post-Apocalyptic Cowgirls" In The Sand]]> These arid extra-lesbians are not your gateway drug "Are They Or Aren't They?" Thelma And Louise saddlepals, so take heed, pardner of the patriarchy, next you're piloting your American Motors Corporation vehicle down the 8 through Yuma and you see a gal with her thumb out.


Post-Apocalyptic Cowgirls

Studio: Bleu Productions
Director: Maria Beatty
Cast: Surgeon Scofflaw, London, the 1973 AMC Spirit

Review by: Gram Ponante

On the saguaro-speckled byways of Arizona, a woman named Surgeon Scofflaw hitches rides from likely motorists. But one thing about Surgeon - she never seems grateful. Picked up by London, Surgeon immediately demands to drive and then forces London to gobble her strap-on. At least it's got a condom on it.

This is Maria Beatty's "Post-Apocalyptic Cowgirls." I learned from the movie's site that WWIII and Global Warming have turned the world into southwest Arizona. As the girls were already in southwest Arizona, at least they didn't have to run out to Mervyn's and get new wardrobes.


Then - and without even ponying up gas money - Surgeon both pisses and lactates on London in a junkyard. The clinical shots of this unusual desert precipitation were fascinating.

The photography by Nate Liquor bounces between road images of passing flora and the cramped interludes - most of which take place in or around the car - between Surgeon and London. With all of the American Southwest to play in, we wonder what it is that makes the two want to stay cooped up by London's AMC Spirit hatchback.

This is not a Porn Valley lesbian movie. This is a dirty, grabby, aspy, dusty series of interludes from November 2007 shot in the rain and the desert chill. There are none of the reveals that tend to delight the straight viewer of faux-lesbian sex. Indeed, Surgeon's and London's clothes stay mostly on, possibly due to the temperature.


With this in mind, and knowing that Surgeon is the one in charge throughout the movie, it is no surprise to see the manner in which London makes her exit from the film. We get the impression that Surgeon and London didn't bump into each other by happenstance.


Beatty directs with assurance and a keen eye for her target audience. That audience is not necessarily me, but I could tell there wasn't a missed step in the movie, which plays like a Chamber of Commerce ad for southwest Arizona (when there aren't hardcore lesbians fisting each other in it).

Bonus points to the soundtrack, provided by Lydia Lunch ("we go way back" says Beatty) Yann Jaffiol, and Bunny Rabbit. In a time when any MySpace band can be convinced - at least once - that it may help their career to be on a porn soundtrack in lieu of actual money, a recent porn trend consists of movies awash in incongruous, bad music that only benefits the producer in having been secured for free.

The "Cowgirls" soundtrack is a simple, spare mix of surf and Lunch's art-noise, which is perfect for the inside/outside smirky violence of the movie.

I think Beatty's next effort should feature Surgeon and Rutger Hauer in a hitchhiker fistoff.

<![CDATA[Kim Cattrall, Half Naked Art Activist]]> You don't have to have a topless calendar (or pose for PETA) to get involved in naked activism—all you need is a camera, a cause, and you, naked! Just ask Kim Cattrall, who bared some to help raise money to save Titian's painting Diana and Actaeon (or at least keep it on display in London). Of course, the problem with naked activism is that, well, the emphasis tends to be more on the naked than on the activism—though we're sure Ms. Cattrall's efforts to increase art awareness haven't totally been lost on the readers of Hollywood Tuna. Well, not totally.

<![CDATA[Keni Styles, Asian Male Porno Superstar]]> Porn tends to handle race in some interesting and odd ways (to put it mildly). For example: while Asian women are highly sought after and heavily fetishized, Asian men are nowhere to be seen. So it was somewhat thrilling to discover Keni Styles, a London-based Asian male pornstar. But it's not just Keni's race that's got us intrigued: there's also the fact that he's got an active blog and YouTube channel where he discusses life as a pornstar, giving his fans an inside view of the industry (and dispelling some myths about what life as a pornstar entails). After the jump, Keni spends some time with French punks Milka Manson and Sabrina Sweet. · Keni Styles Blog (kenistylesblog.com) · My First Asian Guy (myfirstasianguy.com) · Keni Styles on YouTube (youtube.com)]]> http://fleshbot.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5070883&view=rss&microfeed=true <![CDATA[ The brothel business is booming in London...]]> The brothel business is booming in London town—and the competition is creating a price war where you can get unprotected sex for just £25.

<![CDATA["Seduced": The History Of Erotic Art]]> Even though we're happy living in this digital age, it's nice to know that if Fleshbot had been around some 2000 years ago, we still would have had plenty of naughty material to blog about. (Or carve into big stone tablets about?) So when a straight-laced British museum like the Barbican in London wants to put on a show titled "Art and Sex from Antiquity to Now," the hard part isn't finding centuries-old smut to showcase, it's finding a place to put it all.

When "Seduced"—which is erroneously billed as the "first ever mainstream exhibition devoted to sex"—opens this Friday, it will feature everything from classical Roman artifacts to ancient Japanese paintings to modern day photographers like Jeff Koons and Nan Goldin. The moral of the story: Pervs have always been with us, so take care of that copy of "Debbie Loves Dallas" because you never know ... it might be in a museum some day.

<![CDATA[The Best Of Swedish Erotica - In London]]> Everyone knows what glamorous jet-setting lifestyles we porn bloggers lead, but even we don't think we'll be able to wing across the pond to catch the Swedish Erotica exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. The Swedes, of course, have a reputation for freewheeling sexual adventure and leggy blonde temptresses, but that reputation stems mostly from their film output of the late 1960s and early 1970s—including such genre classics as "I Am Curious (Yellow)" and "Language of Love" (the movie that Travis Bickle took Jodie Foster to see in "Taxi Driver" ... with music by ABBA, no less!)

2007_09_26_swedish2.jpg
If you happen to be in London next week, we highly recommend checking these films out, because if there's one thing they do best (besides modular furniture) it's turn people on (though if you're expecting that other kind of "Swedish Erotica", you may be disappointed—it's not that kind of exhibition.) It's times like this that we really miss the Concorde.

<![CDATA[Porn Valley (Adjacent) Dispatch: Notes from a Gangbang]]> Recently we brought you the heartwarming story of Sabrina Deep, the plucky Londoner who wanted to bang 80 men in one fell swoop for her 29th birthday, which was September 11. Tragically, only 77 of them showed up, and a 78th arrived late and needed to be turned away (that's the guy I wouldn't want to be). Read her tale after the gap.

- - -

Deep has been banging men on the Internet for over a year, so I didn't ask how she prepared for this birthday event. I did, however, ask what she ate.

"A bit of tomatoes and mozzarella halfway through and then a proper meal of pasta and handmade pesto afterward."

2007_9_13_ds2.jpg

Aside from a man whose penis resembled a G-spot dildo and a man with a ten-inch penis (pictured), the attendees were normal blokes, memberes of Deep's website or friends of members.

I asked if Deep was sore.

"Not the intimate parts," she said. "But the knees and my neck - from the positions - are aching."

Deep was right back at work today, handling a comparatively paltry five men. I asked what her advice might be to Fleshbot readers who want to try gangbangs of their own, aside from inviting me.

2007_9_13_ds3.jpg

"Do it only fun-wise," Deep advised. "If you do it only for the stunt i have the feeling that you are gonna regret it. Sex must be fun, first of all. Without it it's not gonna be any good for your spirit."

(Joke's on her; I have no soul.)

Deep did not handle administrative duties alone; her husband checked IDs and Nasty Lidya performed fluffing duties.

Despite this, I was concerned about the man who was turned away.

"What about that poor 78th guy?" I asked.

"He showed up at 11:40. He was supposed to be there at 5. He probably had to go see the late movie with his wife."

<![CDATA[Old School Nightlight Photos by Derek Ridgers]]>

All you ADD-addled internet kids who see topless hipsters vamping it up in bathroom stalls and VIP lounges for Nikola Tamindzic or the Cobrasnake or Last Night's Party and think those folks are "edgy" need to learn your history. Drug-fueled club kids have been vamping it up in disgusting bathrooms for decades, and even before there was an internets some dude with a camera was usually there to document it. In the case of London's nightlife, that "some dude" usually included Derek Ridgers. Even though his website is not nearly as exhaustive—or exhausting—as today's shutterbugs', his photos do date back to the early '80s (including early iterations of the famous Torture Garden) and prove that freakiness was not invented in 2002. Hopefully, you youngsters will start respecting your elders.

<![CDATA[Touring London's Sex "Theme Park"]]>

Despite news reports which describe it otherwise, we're not sure if the Amora Academy of Sex and Relationships really qualifies as a "sex theme park." After all, there's no curved-penis roller coasters or a vagina jungle cruise—not even a Tunnel of Love. What it does have is a plethora of sexual exhibits like the Spankometer and the wall of willies, all disguised as an educational center. Think of it as an interactive art museum, complete with dolls that light up when you touch their naughty bits. Amora opened to the public this week in London, and The Sun has put together a preview package with photos, video and what might be the longest article to ever appear in the tabloid. Hey, they take their sex very seriously over there—and so does the Academy—but that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to giggle a little bit at the orgasm face video collage. You're only human.

<![CDATA[Torture Garden @ Canvas London]]>

We understand if you were a little upset by those Torture Garden party photos we posted last fall: you probably really wanted to be there, but it was in London and at the time you couldn't get a bottle of water through airport security, let alone a rubber cowboy outfit. So we're sorry we rubbed your face in it (even though you probably like when we do things like that, you little worm.) It's a bit last minute, but Torture Garden's next costume/dance/performance art party is this Saturday and even if you can't make this one, don't fret, because the "world's largest fetish and body art club" holds regular get-togethers throughout the year so there's always plenty of opportunities to play along. Their website can tell you more about these theme events, with photo galleries to give you a taste of the action. Before you book your plane ticket though, you might want to check out their own Torture Garden clothing line, featuring the latest in fetish gear fashions, so you can pick up a new gown to wear to the ball. Anyone who can get you a hot outfit and date for Saturday night all at the same time, is someone you definitely want to be friends with.

<![CDATA[Meet Emily Scott]]>

Given the types of models we've been featuring a lot on Fleshbot this year (you know who they are), you'll pardon our suspicion that there exists a secret cabal plotting to overthrow American babe dominance with a barrage of boobtastic beauties from the far reaches of Britain and beyond. The latest bombshell to hit our shores is 22 year old Aussie-born swimwear model, reality show contestant, "trained Olympic gymnast" (whatever that means) and Lipton Ice Tea spokeswoman (really) Emily Scott, who's featured prominently in both Zoo and Maxim of late and who shows every indication that she's ready to join the rest of her sisters in the Fleshbot hall of fame. Apparently, Emily's stint on ITV's "Love Island" this past summer only lasted a week before she was kicked off in a haze of melted hair extensions—but does she have what it takes to stick around our hearts longer once 2007 rolls around? Both signs point to yes so far. (Oops, guess we should've said "all signs". You know what we mean.)
