· Russian police debate whether some early writings by literary giant Alexander Pushkin contitute "erotic literature" or "pornography"—proving at least that the US doesn't have a monopoly when it comes to right wing anti-smut hysteria. (scotsman.com)

· From the "Jobs We'd Like To Have" department: A four-day expo for "underwear market professionals" ended in Paris today. We'd say we were eminently qualified for the position. (slideshow @ Yahoo! News, via Daze Reader)

· "Topless women appeared and started talking in Italian. We were horrified. The film became progressively more graphic. There was no plot to it—just sex." Wait a second, isn't that what "The Pajama Game" all about? We must've seen the NC-17 version or something. (Ananova)

Update: Apparently the "read more" link below wasn't working when we first posted this. It is now. So click below for, uh, more ...

· The Adult Entertainment Expo is but a pleasant, silicone-addled memory to us at this point—good thing someone else posted a swell gallery of photos from the weekend to remind us that it all really happened. (aludra.net)

· Anyone out there ever hear of Amber Campisi? Trust us: you will. (Attu)

· And speaking of events gone by, Gawker Media contributing photographer Nikola Tamindzic met up with Burning Angel's Joanna and Presley at a promo event for the site in NYC last week—we weren't able to make it there ourselves, but these photos are the next best thing to being there. (Nikola also wants everyone to know that he's looking for models—"girls, couples, and friends"—for R- and X-rated photographic work; check out his online portfolio and email him at fleshbot@ambrel.net if you're interested.)

· Another call for models, this time from the West Coast: Craig Morey writes in to say "A major men's mag cable TV crew (starts with a P) will be filming me doing a few of my fine art private commissions (nude photo sessions) in a few weeks." This could be your big break! (moreystudio.com)

· It's almost February, it's freezing rain outside, and we're shivering our 'nads off. So why are we craving ice cream all of a sudden? (.wmv video @ m90.org, via Joker's)
