Yesterday I nominated Jefferson’s One Life Take Two and Audacia’s Waking Vixen for the ‘Best Urban Sex Blog’ category of Gridskipper’s Urban Blogging Awards.
Because they’re New Yorkers, and they do the sex thing… so well. And because it didn’t seem to right to have that category without them!
Here are the nominees:
World’s Best Urban Sex Blog (‘Dirty in the city. Who’s doing what to whom, and for how much.’)
the day, the night
GeekSlut
Girl with a one-track mind
The Great Cock Hunt
Lusty Lady
One Life, Take Two
Rollertrain
QueerClick
Waxing Vixen
BUT, this is the nomination phase, not final voting. Only those top blogs with the most total nominations will make it into actual voting. After nominations close next week, the field will narrow to those blogs receiving the highest number of nominations, and actual voting will begin Friday, December 9. And even if a blog you like has already been nominated, it’s worth your time to nominate that blog again — only those top blogs with the most total nominations will make it into actual voting. Nominations will be accepted until midnight EST on Wednesday, December 7.
So email tips@gridskipper.com and nominate them again. Please.
Oh and while you’re at it, perhaps you should nominate Jefferson and Dacia in the World’s Hottest Urban Blogger category, wilya? (‘You know, the one you keep stalking at those panels and launch parties. Or wished you lived near enough to stalk.’)

This Thursday, World AIDS Day, sex education in New York’s public schools will receive a politically charged facelift, the first major change to the curriculum in thirteen years. The major additions? Redesigned AIDS/HIV language and a better, more in-depth, discussion of the female condom. Fourth graders will now be told “HIV can be transmitted by sexual contact with an infected person. When you are older you will learn more,” replacing the previous lesson which explained, much to the dismay of many parents, that condoms are used to “prevent transmission of semen, blood or vaginal fluids.” Meanwhile abstinence is “strongly encouraged” in all grades.
Which is all nice and good in a press release, but the likelihood of many of these changes making it into the schools for quite some time seems minimal. Especially the female condom aspect. “Schools have no plans to make the female condoms available in high school, like they do the male one” Education Department spokeswoman Kelly Devers told the News.

Pop star seeks civil partnership with longtime boyfriend
George Michael, 42, has announced his plans to marry longtime partner Kenny Goss, 47. The two, who have been a couple for nearly ten years, plan to hold a ceremony early next year.
“I’m sure Kenny and I will be doing the old legal thing, but we won’t be doing the whole veil and gown thing,” Michael said.
The union became possible when the United Kingdom passed the Civil Partnerships Bill last year, giving same-sex couples the right to have legally binding partnerships and entitling them to some of the same tax and pension protections available to married couples.
Michael is the second British rocker to announce marriage plans under the new legislation: Elton John, 58, confirmed that he and partner David Furnish, 43, will wed in a private ceremony on December 21st, the first day same-sex unions become legal in England.

This MSN dialogue occurred during a recent business trip to Paris:
[Mrs. Holiday]: Imagining your hands all over my tits makes me wet. Thinking of the pleasurable ways your tongue works on my clit, makes me wet. My nipples are hard right now. What can we do to get your cock up????
[Holiday]: I like the summer, when you lay down in such a way that I can lap your pussy with my tongue. My cock is up. It’s always up for you. A very serious sign of respect.
[Mrs. Holiday]: Whip out your cock.
[Holiday]: Right now?
[Mrs. Holiday]: Let’s massage it. I guess you will just have to type with your right hand and let your fingers do the cock walking with your left hand. So follow my directions to the letter.
First, imagine that you are at your office desk, wearing an expensive business suit. The night before you were forced to sit in a chair and watch me being fucked repeatedly by a man with a huge cock.

Tristan picks out the priciest sex presents of the season
by Tristan Taormino
November 28th, 2005 3:42 PM
Since 1926, Neiman Marcus has published its famed Christmas Book (neimanmarcus.com), a catalog of unique, over-the-top gifts that ordinary people can’t afford. The most expensive presents are those in the fantasy section, and this year the offers are extraordinary, including a His & Hers Custom Photobooth for a mere $20,000; a custom “Tree Sculpture” (translation: a very fancy, very pricey tree house) by artist Roderick Romero beginning at $50,000; an IndyCar Series Simulator for $65,000; and a private Elton John concert priced at $1.5 million (all proceeds go to the Elton John AIDS Foundation).
Retailers fear that holiday spending will be down this year. With so much disaster and devastation around the world and in our own backyard, the image of Santa dragging around a bloated red bag seems kind of insensitive. I was ambivalent about doing my annual guide to the best in kinky gadgets and goodies. Then I saw the Christmas Book, and all was put into perspective: I’ll dedicate my list to pure fantasy, the most luxurious, outrageous, decadent sexy gifts.
