And apparently ladies really love elves: during her stint as Link, Justine was able to wrest a kiss from the lips of fellow Penthouse Pet Ryan Keely...and, uh, a few other things, too.

At first glance, Coco de Mer looks like any other upscale boutique—but upon further inspection, all sorts of naughtiness is revealed. The patterns decorating the wallpaper and upholstery obscure scenes of lovemaking, the butterfly necklace has phallus-shaped openings—and, of course, there's all the dildos, lingerie, and fetish gear lining the shelves (and we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the china plate that reads "Cock.").

Best of all, though, are the dressing rooms: a small panel on the walls can be opened to transform the rooms into two halves of a confessional box. With your lover one side, and you on the other, you can confess all your naughty secrets (we're betting you'll get a more interesting punishment than just a few "Hail Marys."). And, of course, no Coco de Mer dressing room would be complete without a Private Poses camera...

And though many of Coco de Mer's wares fall on the pricier end of the spectrum, they do offer quite a few affordable products (including some of our favorite sex toys from places like Lelo and Fun Factory). True, in this economy, splurges may be few and far between—but if you're going to open your wallet, shouldn't it be in the service of better sex?

Coco de Mer NYC is located at 263 Elizabeth Street, between Prince and Houston.

What is "Case," you ask? Why a "deadpan reading of the classic cyberpunk novel Neuromancer," one that involves "moving Bauhaus-inspired sculptural props accompanied by the Gamelan ensemble Dharma Swara."

We, personally, will have to see it to believe it. (Good thing we already bought our tickets!)

UPDATE: A full list of the award winners can be found here.

8:34
I know we said we'd get started at 8:45, but there's tons of people here, and I'm impatient. In case you've forgotten who the top five contender for the Fleshbot Readers' Choice Awards are, here's a recap!

In other news: The Baroness and Dante Posh just rolled through, as did Syd Blakovich, Jiz Lee, and that crew.

8:39
Just saw Michael Musto from the Village Voice, looking brilliant as always. Joanna Angel is parked by the bar with her date. And... Yep, Syd Blakovich exits the bar double-fisting drinks. It's going to be a good time.

8:49
There's a mysterious naked man with long hair, a mask, and a fedora standing on the bar. No one seems to notice. (If you haven't guessed by now, I'm stuck by the bar.)

9:03
Much of the adult entertainment crowd was just ushered upstairs for a photo session. The show should be starting soon.

9:04
Oh snap! It's beginning! Justin Bond is singing the dirtiest song he knows and he looks like a healthy Liza Minnelli.

9:07
John Cameron Mitchell just joined Justin on the stage. They both look adorable. The first presenter: Justine Joli! Pinch me.

9:10
Jimmy Jane wins the Sexiest Technology Award!

FYI the awards that are being given out are giant, steel, double-sided dildos, just like in the picture.

9:12
Michael Lucas is presenting the next award for the Sexiest Fashion Newcomers. Michael Lucas is one busy man. Google him.

9:14
The Blonds win! They are so blond.

Mantrix is now performing. The crowd is entranced.

9:16
I may have gotten that last name wrong. This is hard to describe. It's like Cirque du Soleil, but less French and more nude.

9:22
Julie Atlas Muz is presenting the award for Sexiest Art. How do you decide what art is sexiest? Doesn't it depend on the genre. Ah, this is about comic art. I'm slightly hard of hearing. Anyway, the award goes to Paul Pope, but Ben Naples Nabors is accepting for him.

Presenters can't help exclaiming over the glory of the Double-Sided Dildo award.

9:25
Rob Roth: "CGI is for hot cocks that never need fluffing." This next award is for the world's best gay-porn-computer-generated animation.

The award goes to "Pirate's Booty!" We love that film.

9:27
Prince of Porn Performance Art, Tom Judson is taking the stage. He actually just got here (I saw him go by), and he seems a bit flustered. He's presenting the Mainstream Crossover Award. I wonder who that will go to...

PS: Did you know that Tom Judson was the oldest recipient of the GayVN Performer of the Year award?

9:30
Sasha Grey wins! Surprise(?)! Unfortunately, she's not here. She's in Portugal. But she did record a lovely video for us/plug for her new project.

This is all moving really fast. In fact, this is probably the first award show to be ahead of schedule.

9:35
Our beloved Lux is taking the stage (she's so graceful!), and it's time for the Readers' Choice Awards:

Marco Blaze wins the for the men! Unfortunately, he's overseas (and didn't record a video for us).

For the fems, it's Supreme Commandress Joanna Angel! And she's here! And she's flustered. And she is sooo fine. (Some think she looks a bit like Sarah Silverman. What do you think?)

9:38
Justine Joli is doing a striptease to "You Can Leave Your Hat On." Her hat is definitely the only thing still on.

9:41
It's intermission time! Let's all browse Fleshbot while we wait for more pornstars to come on stage! Yay!

Also, Lux would like to take this moment to thank nJoy, who sponsored this event by making those epic dildo-awards: The Eleven. See you all in a jiff.

10:04
Intermission Notes:
Intermission consists of five foxy representatives from The Box grinding on stage. My personal favorite is the guy wearing a black corset with matching gas mask.
They're playing Mickey Avalon's "My Dick." I know this song by heart. It's embarrassing.

Patrice O'Neal is here. He's looking good!

Justine Joli (who I'm slowly becoming obsessed with) walks like she's stripteasing. All. The. Time. It's amazing.

Some people with a camera just came by and asked me what I'm doing. They had me read some stuff. If you ever see me somewhere looking sweaty and confused, that's what that was.

10:10
Something is happening...
Someone's performing a dance as a vagina. Not in the Georgia O'Keefe way. Like a real, pulsing, quaking, dripping vagina. With a big, sequined clit.

I guess Intermission is over?

10:12
Lorelei Lee is looking gorgeous. As is Belladonna, whose dress says something very Whitney Houston to me. (In a "Bodyguard" way.)

10:14
It's time for the Mainstream-to-Porn Crossover Award. As everyone knows, Levi Johnson is the lucky recipient. He just let us know that his magazine spread comes out next week. Any guesses what he'll do with The Eleven?

10:15
Ryan Keely is presenting the next award: Sexiest Advertising.

Who is our favorite, billboard-bombing, butt-showing clothing company? American Apparel, of course. Marsha Brady (no relation) is accepting on behalf of the company.

And it's time for another act! A famous S&M performer, Mistress Lee and her Pet Rudy.

10:18
Could that be Mistress Jiz Lee?

10:20
It's hard to see back here. But I can hear the Cat-O'-Nine-Tails.

10:22
Actually, it's more of a contortionist/acrobatic act. They are, after all, circus folk. And I don't think it was Jiz Lee. Liveblogging fail.

10:25
Jonathan Ames, writer/creator of Bored to Death (among other things), is presenting the Sexiest TV Award.

"This was a good year for couch potatoes. Especially couch potatoes with a libido."

10:26
True Blood wins! I love that show. No one is here to receive the award, so Jonathan Ames is taking the dildo home. Real talk, Jonathan Ames. Real talk.

10:31
Our last presenter is Joey Arias, who asks, "Is everybody horny? Who likes cum?"

The winner of the Fleshbot Lifetime Sexy Fashion Award is Patricia Field! If you don't know, look her up. I'm busy applauding.

10:32
The night is winding down. How will we finish off this beautiful event?

10:35
It's Belladonna!

10:38
Oh dear, she has a dildo.

10:47
Cannot describe what just went on. Amazing. I'll try to fill this in later. Wow.

Sadly, that brings us to the end of the night. We've had a lot of fun here, and there should be more pics and such tomorrow. Until then, thanks for being with us. We love you all.

Never one to shy away from stories about naked ladies, the Daily News has a piece on Ms. Lee, who's just starting up in NYU's creative writing department. Though heavy on the fluff, the article does reveal some interesting facts: Lorelei is from Buffalo! She's been in over 200 scenes! She's been nominated for 3 AVN Awards! Her classmates are a-okay with her job!

Okay, it's mostly just fluff. But whatever: we're very happy to hear that Lorelei's pursuing her academic interests (and doubly glad to hear that she's living in the city we call home). And very happy to see that the Daily News has given some extra attention to a woman we've been swooning over for years.

What are the Fleshbot Awards, you ask? Why, an awards show celebrating all that's good, wonderful, and Fleshbot-worthy: our favorite picks for sexy television, movies, fashion, technology, and many, many more will be honored at New York City's The Box on November 11. In addition, we'll also be recognizing the two individuals who Fleshbot readers have deemed the sexiest of all—but in order to do that, we'll need some help from you!

In the comments on this post, list your picks for the Fleshbottiest individuals of them all. They don't have to be pornstars, but they should be sexy, open-minded, and not averse to showing some skin. And, because this is Fleshbot, we'll be selecting both male and female winners—so don't be afraid to list both.

Once you guys have submitted your picks, we'll be back with a good old fashioned poll to determine who the illustrious winners will be. Oh, and if you're itching for an invite to the Fleshbot Awards—we will be extending a handful of invitations to some very lucky readers. Stay tuned for details on how you (yes, you!) could be one of them!

But there was a small sign of boobtastic life during this week's festivities: Michael Kors marched multiple models out onto the runway in seethrough, nipple-baring tops. Could this be the beginning of a lovely new trend? Probably not—but we can always hope...

· Michael Kors RTW Spring 2010 (wwd.com)

Also in the issue (which just so happens to be the sex issue): the results of the NYC sex poll, sex tips from sex pros, and all sorts of dirty little secrets—plus a list of thirty-two more New Yorkers who didn't get to strip off this time...but are dying to get their chance. (Quick, somebody tell them about XTube!)

· The Ultimate New York City Sex Guide (timeout.com)

Though her engagement with Mr. Hyman became a, ahem, shootus interruptus, young Kathleen has posed naked before, for other photographers. Animal New York has a set of the naked activist shot by Ned Rosen—and though it's not as naked as the full frontal fashions of Zach Hyman, and it isn't in the Met, well...at least we get to see some of Kathleen Neill's bits. And that's worth something, right?

(And hey, there's always next year, too...)

Of course, one man's free peep show is another's indecent exposure, so don't expect the fun to go on forever (especially not since the NY Post seems determined to get everyone to cover up. Nuts to you, Rupert Murdoch!).

· High Line Is A Lust Cause (nypost.com)
· Thumbnail star: Brooke Marks (foxyflow.com)

(Specifically, "Afrodite Superstar," "La Dolce Vita," "Gaytanamo," "Joanna's Angels 2," and "The Bi Apple." Quite an impressive goody bag, if you ask us.)

· Best NYC pornos (timeout.com)

Apparently the lesbian princess of porn has orchestrated an all out bash at NYC's infamous bar Superdive—a reputedly lawless environ where guests can mix their own cocktails behind the bar and the door policy is, well, for lack of a better term, nonexistent.

Amidst this lawless carousing Joli plans to pack in hordes of capital "L" lesbians, art performers, a surprise celebrity guest or two, and famed photographers Ellen Stagg and Siege, along with a host of exotic ingenues she has collected over the last few years living in the city [edit: and maybe even a Fleshbot editrix!]. Ever playing the part of the gracious and demure hostess, Justine invites all of her friends and fans to come join her for a drink amidst the raucous celebration, to order themselves a keg and cheer to her, or to sit down at the Steinway and bang out a song in honor of her special day.

Superdive is located at 200 Avenue A, between 12th and 13th, in East Village, New York, NY 10009. For more details call 646-448-4854 or visit the bar's website.
