by Judi B.
Can you imagine sitting down at your desk with a pen in hand, thinking to yourself:
“Dammit, I don’t think adults can make their own decisions about sex, sex toys and porn. I don’t think anyone, and I mean ANYONE, should just be able to just walk into a place and see movies that [...]

Happy Pride month, everyone!! Do you feel oh-so-happy and queer? I do!
Wow, it’s been a month of ups and downs for the LGBT community, so I thought I’d try to capture it all in one little article in honor of Pride Month. It’s funny to think that a certain sexuality that is so [...]

The Smell of a Woman

Mixed messages, I tell you!
So, here we are, and by “we” I mean women, with everything in the media telling us that we should be odor-free. Remember all of those FDS commercials? I do! It’s an early memory of mine, along with maxi-pad (with new wings!) and Summer’s Eve douche commercials. “Feminine hygiene” [...]

Judi B.
No, I didn’t really see that bumper sticker, but I’m thinking that I may get a few printed up.
So, what does sexuality have to do with one of America’s most-watched TV shows? Well, apparently something, as you may have heard. Mandisa, the diva-to-be with the great voice being voted off of American Idol was [...]



Does BART stand for Bangin’ and Rimmin’ on Trains?

Bay Area Rapid Transit. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, chances are you’ve taken BART somewhere. It’s definitely the best way to get in and out of the city…I mean, you can try to drive over one of the bridges if you really, really want to hear that new CD [...]



Fine German Engineering: Say “Guten Tag” to the new Sinful Vibes

By Judi B. • Mar 15th, 2006 • Category: View from the Top

by Judi B.
I love my car. Ask anyone and they will tell you that I’m a bit of a freak about it. But, I can’t help it….it’s black, fast and I love the way it handles. It’s a fine example of German machinery, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world (except for [...]



A Gift of Jade

Right before the holidays, I received the following email from my friend Lony:
“Let me give you all an early Chanukwanzfestimas gift. This is the story of our trip to my mom’s house to trade presents last weekend. This was on Dec. 10th mind you, so my Aunt had not exactly been shopping for [...]



I Thought We Learned Something from Basic Instinct, No? – A Review of High Tension

By Judi B. • Jan 30th, 2006 • Category: View from the Top

by Judi B.
Here I am…dimmed lights, glass of wine, girlfriend, blanket and pillows, snoring dog on the couch, rain outside, as I slip a movie in the DVD player. A movie I wanted to see at the theater but missed. How excited am I? To top it off, this movie is a horror movie…my favorite! [...]



Stay In, Rent a Movie, Have Sex — aka “The Ultimate Cheap Date!”

By Judi B. • Jan 30th, 2006 • Category: View from the Top

by Judi B.

Now that I have Logo® (the gay channel), I’ve really been into staying home and watching lots of movies. Hey, microwave popcorn in a bag and pillows on the floor can be major aphrodisiacs! There’s nothing quite like cuddling and making out to a fine flick, especially in the comfort of your [...]

A few years, some kind person turned me on to something called The Morning Fix. Every morning at work, an email would appear in my inbox—an email that would make me put down my spreadsheets and hang up [...]
