Eniko Mihalik Romances The Mannequin

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:30:01 EDT

Is Vogue Paris sexily advocating the benefits of mannequin love? Are they just trying to be surreally sexy? Our understanding for French—and fashion, for that matter—is limited...so we'll leave the hard questions to more educated types.

And while you poindexters are figuring it all that out, we will be reupping our Vogue Paris subscription (so much the better to enjoy the boobs!).

Pornstar Travel Tips: Katsuni On Paris

Lux Alptraum — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 16:00:01 EST

Looking to have a good time on your next vacation? You could get a guidebook, and trust that the writers know what they're talking about—or you could ask your friendly neighborhood pornstar for her recommendations.

You might trust the guidebook, but we'd rather go with the pornstar—which is why, while at AEE, we took the opportunity to ask the lovely Katsuni where we should go when in Paris. Now if only we could convince her to make the trip with us.

"Pour Une Nuit" In Gay (Er, Lesbian) Paree

Gram Ponante — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:25:35 EDT

Ah, Paris! If for no other reason than to begin a review with "Ah, Paris!" did I watch this for lesbians/by lesbians movie, shot in dingy clubs with a spotlight and shot with sweaty abandon in apartments and elevators around the City of Light. Really a series of vignettes featuring some of the same people on one steamy night in Gay Paree, "One Night Stand" ("Pour Une Nuit)" was made in 2006 and just made its way via festivals and US distributor Fatale Media to my hands. Along the way it won "First Prize of the Lesbian Jury" at Berlin's inaugural porn film festival.

Femmes fatales outnumber lipstick lesbians in this movie featuring strap-on action and andro girls (who look like a Smiths-era Morrissey and made this writer confused) as well as, according to the cover, "real orgasms." I can never tell. Me, I take what I can get and appreciate any extra effort.

But in terms of a travelogue, the excellent soundtrack and appealing, occasional outside filming make Paris look like it is crawling with predatory lesbians ... with not one shot of the phallic Eiffel Tower in sight.

True to the suspiciously press release-y...

Jonnobot — Wed, 07 May 2008 11:30:22 EDT

True to the suspiciously press release-y sounding tip we received this morning, Parisian fashion label Locher's frilly feminine tops might look all innocent and girly until you get closer and notice that fancy embroidery says things like "Fucked In The Head", "Will Fuck For Shoes", and "I ♥ Porn". Which only "those that read" instead of those who just stare at boobs will appreciate, of course. (There are still a few folks like that out there. right?) (lochers.com - thanks C.)

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 11:47:16 EST

Parisian pop experimenter Sebastien Tellier is hoping to turn his latest album "Sexuality" (produced by one half of Daft Punk), into a porno soundtrack. Yeah, we guess it's time to start moving on from that whole boom-chicka-wow-wow thing too . (exclaim.ca; see also bbc.co.uk)

Conservative types on this side of the pond...

Jonnobot — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 13:11:17 EST

Conservative types on this side of the pond might balk at the idea of a children's museum devoted to sex like the one that opened in Paris recently, but we think it's a pretty enlightened idea. Plans for that forthcoming Children's Guide To The Busty Topless Stars of French Cinema, however, might be taking Gallic permissiveness a little too far. (latimes.com)

Pamela Anderson will be performing at the legendary Crazy Horse nudie revue in Paris over Valentine's Day, for the benefit of the five people in France who haven't already seen her naked before. (bbc.co.uk)

The new exhibit at the Bibliothèque...

Jonnobot — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 11:38:53 EST

The new exhibit at the Bibliothèque National in Paris featuring erotic art from the library's collection (including "sadism, masochism, bestiality, inflated genitalia and the most imaginative sexual fantasies and athletic poses") sounds awfully hot, but it turns out we might have to go to Paris to see it since there's nothing by way of previews on the exhibition website. Guess we'll just have to keep wading through all those back issues of National Geographic at our own local branch to get our publicly supported smut fix in the meantime. (nytimes.com + bnf.fr)

Francois Benveniste Shows Us The French Way

Lux Nightmare — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:09:55 EST

We've heard a lot of talk about how the French are supposed to do it better—but better than what? No matter getting into nuances of interpretation, though: Paris-based photogapher Francois Benveniste certainly does it well enough for us. Benveniste's nude studies of gorgeous, out-of-the-ordinary women beautifully blend seduction with innocence, and also manage to make the edgy (and sometimes mildly gory) incredibly sexy as well. If this is how the French do it, we wouldn't want it any other way.

All's fair in love, war and museum exhibitions...

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 10:00:51 EDT

All's fair in love, war and museum exhibitions about sexuality in wartime. (There's a pretty interesting one going on in Paris right now.) How come people still haven't figured out that if we got rid of war, there'd be a lot more time for sex?

Paris Erotic Expo Photos

Fleshbot — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 12:30:53 EDT

From our Bureau of Sex Events We Didn't Get To Attend (which seems to be awfully busy lately) comes this photoessay of pics from this year's Erotic Expo in Paris, in which over 30,000 visitors had yet another opportunity to check out the latest European developments in stripper footwear, sex furniture, love dolls, and live girl-on-girl onstage action. (You know, all the things we got to see for ourselves in Las Vegas back in January ... but, like, in French, which of course automatically makes them plus sexy.) As evocative as the photos are, they don't tell us whether or not there exists a Gallic equivalent of shoulder stink at these types of events on the other side of the pond. But maybe that's just as well.
