Take my friend Steen, for example. An amazing chick in her own right, she s also a self-described smut peddler. I have linked a few times to her stuff, and will continue to do so. I think she’s the most talented photographer I have ever met; I can even say ‘I knew her when…’ but [...]

With all the problems in the world, you gotta pour booze down the drain?
What’d the booze ever do to you? I mean, what’d the booze every do that was bad?
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Here’s a sobering thought: Hundreds of bottles of Jack Daniel’s whiskey, some of it almost 100 years old, may be unceremoniously poured [...]
