	The Parlour We ladies invite men into the parlour for some stimulating conversation. Brandy & cigars, optional. Bookish Types Discuss Books, What Else? Part One Grammar, plot, voice ~ What is most important in writing? Judging a Book by Its Cover Can you, should you, judge a book by its cover? The Business of Books What happens after you write it? The discussion turns to publishers & reviewers. Bookish Types Discuss Books, What Else? Part Two The authors talk about what they read ~ And dish on who they think are the sexiest authors. Authors on The Act of Writing Are they 'compelled' to write, or must they chain themseleves to their desks... Author Inspiration Oddly enough, no one mettions the muses specifically, but I'm under the belief that they are describing what the muse shows them... Josh Speaks Paxton Vs Pullman playwright Josh Carson dishes on his life as a bachelor, actor, and funny man. (No, ladies, he doesn't have performance anxieties!) The Next Carrie Bradshaw? "I'm not a writer -- I'm a sexual anthropologist." -- Carrie Bradshaw There's probably not a person in the US that's not familiar with Sex and the City -- the wildly popular series about a female foursome living and loving in the Big Apple. And while each of the characters struck a chord for the show's thousands of fans, no one stoked the creative fires inside like Carrie Bradshaw. Authors Discuss Politics, Religion & Sex Which would they rather write about? Which would they rather read about? What Is Erotica? Authors discuss the bastard child of written works: Erotica.

She runs a “successful” website that a lot of people read. Le Petit Mort: An explanation of what’s sexual in literature For three days I went back and forth, bickering with myself on exactly which short story I considered “ultra sexual”. At first, I figured I should go with something that would personify the arched back, glowing skin, lip biting fantasy that most people expect. Which would have been fun, expected, but it wouldn’t have been me.

The Cranky Uterus Each day the decision gets easier but it is still a hurdle. Do I wear the bra or the binder? Bra… binder…. bra… binder… It’s enough to make me crazy sometimes. If I put the bra on, it is the only piece of “drag” that I’m wearing (yeah, let that one twist your brain). If I put on the binder, then I have to worry if my co-workers (who don’t know about my trans identity yet) will notice that my breasts have suddenly gone into hiding.
