Fish 'n' Grits
OH MY GOODNESS!
Hello Everybody! It's me, the Snerd. The eros girls have turned me loose upon the unsuspecting public, yet again. Upon reading the title of this Blog you probably had one of the following things run through your mind:
"Yummy! I LOVE fish and grits!"
"What in the HELL is this girl writing about this time?!?!"
"That is one fine magazine if you love rap and porn!"
I would say that all of the above are proper reactions, but door number 3 is the one I'm excited about today. (For those of you that chose the first one, here is a recipe for you).
"Where music meets porn," indeed. Music and porn have been having meetings for a long time, my darlings. It's about time that a magazine dedicated to that lovely pairing is finally on the newstands. A few keywords to get your butt motivated enough to brave the cold weather so you can pick up the latest issue:
Method Man
Deep Throat Review
Lil John & The Eastside Boys
Ayana Angel
For those of you in warm climates (you lucky devils)...
YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE! GET YOUR BUTT TO THE STORE AND BUY THIS MAGAZINE!
Another thing you want to do is check out their website. They have added goodies that compliment every issue.
On a serious note: The more we support the crossover of porn into the mainstream, the better things will get for all involved. It would open closed doors, for those in the industry, and open a few minds for those who aren't. I, personally, would like to see this country embrace sexuality with the same passion it holds for "shock and awe."
That being said, I hope that Fish 'n' Grits gets a bunch of copycats in their wake. No offense, FnG! You lead the pack.
Ah! The girls are looking at their watches. It's time for me to get back in my cage (and a fine one it is, at that!) and behave myself.
Smooches!

Raelyn Gallina Benefit
Instead of trying to find my own words to describe her situation, I am going to reprint the very eloquent words of Annie Sprinkle.
From: "Annie Sprinkle Ph.D."
Date: December 7, 2003 4:16:50 AM CST
Subject: News about Raelyn Gallina
We are a group of devoted friends of Raelyn Gallina and wish to inform you of what is happening in her life right now. As Raelyn is a beloved, very well known member of the piercing/SM/art/spiritual and other communities, we know that many folks all over the country will want to know this important news.
Upon the day Raelyn returned home from her Mother's funeral in September, she was diagnosed with the rarest, deadliest form of breast cancer. She had to start chemotherapy immediately. On December 8th, she will be having a double mastectomy. After that, she will have more hemotherapy and start radiation treatments five days a week for many months. Raelyn is just 49 years old, and has always been extremely healthy, energetic and powerful, so this comes as a huge shock.
The good news is that Raelyn has a chance of getting through all this, as the cancer seems to have been caught in time. Her devoted partner of ten years, Babs is by her side every step of the way and of enormous help and comfort. (Babs' beloved brother died just before Thanksgiving.)
This is all terrifying and exhausting, but the gals are still managing
to keep their spirits up most of the time. Raelyn has been a pioneer of the body modification movement since 1982; the first to make 18k gold body jewelry, inventor of the fishtail labrette, and an innovator of scarification. She touched and adorned many as she brought her magic all around the country over the years. Her focus was always on the spiritual, and on generously sharing the wealth of her knowledge with others and showing us how to do body modifications safely, pleasurably, and meaningfully in numerous demos, workshops, and presentations. Being a Santeria priestess, over the years Raelyn has ministered to many of us with problems, and given us so much of her love, which has trickled down throughout our communities. Her strong faith and spirituality have been an enormous source of strength and support.
We would like to ask you for your prayers and good wishes for Raelyn right now. Visualize her having the strength to withstand and survive her cancer treatments. See her in good health, send her love, cards and letters of support.
Financially things are very rough for Raelyn and Babs right now. Raelyn has been too sick to work much. She didn't have health insurance or savings due to the bad economy, being a freelancer, and living in the expensive bay area. Babs cleans houses for a living, and has had to cancel a lot of work to nurse and help Raelyn. They won't be able to make much money for at least the next seven or eight months. They need our financial help so they don't lose their home, to cover living expenses and health care needs. We urge you to send financial gifts.
Organize benefits in your town. Send whatever you can. Show Raelyn we love her, and want to keep her around! Show them we are the great community and friends we say we are!
Thank you,
Annie Sprinkle, SF
Now that you've read about her situation, you need to know where you can go to help. Not only is Tristan Taormino a brilliant writer, but she has a large heart.
She is hosting the 2004 Best Lesbian Erotica Book Release Party on Thursday, January 29th at 8:30pm at THE MIDWAY CAFE 3496 Washington St, Jamaica Plain, MA
Now I'm going to quote Tristan's own words on the matter:
Dyke Night has always jumped in to help women in our community, typically through donating to the work of great local nonprofit organizations. However, there have been times when an individual who has played an important role in our community has been faced with a challenge that requires a community response to assist in her support.
Raelyn Gallina is one such woman. Annie Sprinkle does such a wonderful job of telling of her circumstance, that I have reprinted her letter below in lieu of writing my own.
I am grateful to have the means to mobilize a fundraiser.
All proceeds from the door at our Best Lesbian Erotica 2004 Book Release Party will be donated to her. Please, consider making a larger contribution beyond the mere $5 that we ask at the door. All the readers, my door and promotion staff and myself will all be donating our time for this event in the hope that we can make a difference in her struggle.
Please pass on the word about this event to others. I thank you.
I've already told you about the book signing she is doing at Eros on January 30th. I just want to add that we will be having a silent auction for two Gift Certificates in the amount of $100 each. The proceeds will go to Raelyn Gallina. See the blog two posts down for the details.
I hate it when bad things happen to good people.
Let's pull together for Raelyn so that she can spend her energy healing instead of worrying about the details.
Be well,
The Snerd

It's cold outside. Here's some warm news...
Hello everybody!
Snerd here. I should say "Snerdcicle." Yup! It's that damned cold outside in Eros Land. I needed some happy news to warm my brain. I felt like sharing it with you all.
Jenna Jameson wants to go mainstream. (Honey, I thought you already were mainstream).
I would LOVE to see this happen. Can you imagine Jenna accepting an Oscar? I don't think anyone would be in a hurry to cut her speech short. I give her 3 years. She'll have, at least, one on her mantle.
Why stop at mainstream stardom?
I think that she should tackle curing cancer. She's achieved everything else she's set out to do. GO JENNA!

Ahhhh Valentines Day
I know some people hate Valentines day and call it a "hallmark holiday," a holiday created by the greating card industry so you have to buy someone a card, or chocolates, or flowers. But that statement is usually made by those not getting some...nudge nudge wink wink....
Those of us lucky enough to be getting some, or those who aspire to get some, Valentines Day is your opportunity (or excuse) to open up your bag of tricks and experience something new with your lover.
Here at Eros Boutique the possibilites are endless....but I'll give you a few ideas to get your juices flowing.....
Bend Over Beginners Harness Kit
Is there someone in you life curious about stapping it on but doesn't know where to begin. Well I have the solution for you - this super sexy harness kit has everything the sensuous beginner needs to get going. It includes a super low riding purple plush velvet harness, coordinating hypoallergenic silicone purple dildos one 4" long and .75" wide and the other is 5" by 1.25" wide. Both are sized and shaped appropriately for those just beginnning anal play. A powerful variable speed mini-vibe sits in a secret pocket behind the dildo to give the wearer an extra jolt of fun.....sounds good to me!
Pretty In Pink Collection by Phallix Glass
I'll sing the praises of any glass piece made by Phallix, but they out-did themselves with the Pretty In Pink Collection. Gorgeous pieces that have a reflective pink/gold hue after they were infused with a fine gold dust. Who said diamonds are a girls best friend? Get her this for Valentines Day and watch her squirm with delight! We carry the Pink Pleasure and the 24 Karat Juicer through our website but have other unique pieces in our Boston Boutique. Make sure you check these out!
We also carry bondage kits for the novice or seasoned pro, and anything by Karma Sutra will set off sparks in the bedroom this February 14th. But if you're looking to take Valentines Day to new heights check out our selection of sex swings - and ring in the night right.
These are just some ideas to kick start their heart. But get creative, get sexy, get kinky.
Hey afterall it's Valentines Day.
50 Cent Rapper has signed with Digital Sin
Digital Sin will host superstar rapper 50 Cent at its booth this Saturday at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas., where it will offically announce he has signed an exclusive deal to create an interactive sex DVD bearing his name.
Digital Sin will collaborate with 50 cent and the G unit Adult films to produce Groupie Luv, which will take viewers inside his X rated lifestyle.
Jeff Mullen director of marketing & media for Digital Sin told AVN.com that the DVD would provide an all access look at 50 cent and the g unit as they travel the country, doing concerts. He indicated that 50 cent would not be the person having sex but will be the center of attention directing the party.
"You're banging their girls backstage at the concerts & hanging with them on the tour bus" Mullen said. "The viewers will be able to choose which girls to have sex & where the sex will take place."
Mullen worked closely with Digital Sin President Scott Taylor and 50 Cent Attorney Theo Sedlmary, in New York to complete the deal.
This product will be shot on high -definition that will provide an intimate up close lifestyle experience.
Digital Sin plans to release Groupie Lux later this year.

LA Lap Dances Safe Let The People Choose!
first my rant for the day pls excause the spelling I am typing quickly while waiting on customers, thanks~ she
Ok, Attorney John Weston , was shocked to find out that there is only 35 strips clubs in the City of LA, with a population of nearly 4 million in that area & the statements Los Angeles deputy police chief told the city council that the city was considered "the mecca for lap dances" according to the daily breeze newspaper.
The 35 area strip clubs got over 100,000 signatures on a petition to put the city ordinacne on the next city election ballet about the recent no lap dance law.
So lap dances are safe for now, safe from what?? A few people who dont agree? Well guess what I dont agree with many things, I dont agree with boxing but I dont try to stop it, I just dont attend or watch boxing events, we all have our freedom or choice. I didnt agree with my first boyfriend dumping me, but I didnt camp out on his front door ( well maybe alittle ))
Lap Dances are the same. If you dont agree just dont go into a strip club & summon a dancer over for one simple.
Lap Dances who cares?? Do you think the average person every day thinks of lap dances NO, unless you are a dancer & getting ready for your night of work hoping you can crank a few lapdances out tonight , or a guy or girl heading out for some Adult playtime who really cares or thinks about them ??
I know working full time , taking care of a 6 year old & a dog named gumball, lapdances are the last thing on my mind, trying to find my kids note from school about a 1/2 day teacher conference, shit how did I miss that ? now I have to work no school , maybe I can stick him somewhere like thoses daycares while you shop in the super market, & they wont notice i am gone 8 hours ? no that wont work, I work in a adult business so this is totally out bringing him to work Ok, great he loves his old daycare before kindgarden let me drop him there, perfect, i will tell them he wants to visit, perfect he loves them so that works, & pretend that I didnt know you cant just drop off for a day , Ok that worked~
So the least of my worries is a lapdance I dont care about someone enjoying themself in a adult club getting a lapdance, but what I do care about is my freedom of choice being taken away, i enjoy being able to make my own choices, we are doing so much today for other countries to give them the freedom of choice , why dont we worry about our choice ? It starts with Adult, most people dont notice but then it slowly works it way into everyday life. Almost every state has decided no smoking in bars or resturants, I dont smoke but I think it is your choice, what other choice is going to be taken away from us??
We fight so hard for freedom of choice, we should fight for OUR choice first, there are so many families & lives that are effect with his war, I personally agree with it, but also I understand the hardship, families where both parents worked, now one parent is gone dealing with the kids by yourself, working , picking them up at daycare, when you are still suppose to be working, dealling with the money end of it. it effects them more than the average person thinks, sorry about the rant, I just think the people should choose, not one or two politcial officials,who have more things in there closets then we do .
let make our own choices she
