Just posting because.
These are my Funko statues that I've been collecting from earlier this year. I've loved them for so long but only just started to collect them, it's probably a really bad idea as I don't have much room for them... BUT THEY ARE SO CUTE! haha.
Here are some of the toys at the end of our bed, some made by Charlotte's Autistic sister Heather, then a few Totoros and Hello Kittys.
Just trying to think of anything exciting that's been happening? Apart from being ill and off work, not much... BORING!
So looking forward to going to the fetish club Antichrist in January, got a fair few people going and I've been told the crowd are really nice and friendly... And hopefully I'll have a few new experiences under my belt :-)
I was interviewed for a book back in 2012 and after trying to find out information about it being published, I finally got an email from the author. Here are the details, I can't wait to read it... Obviously to find out if I made it in it haha
Here is her Tumblr, there are links to her other social network pages there too.
The Sex Myth - an update, and a release date!
So, funny story. Seven years ago, I wrote a post on this here blog about how I planned to write a book. “Not just ‘a’ book,” I wrote, “but a great book — the kind of book that makes you reconsider how you view the world, and makes you want to underline sections in the hope of capturing, or at least remembering, them.”
I was horrified to learn that the process might take up to two years (”Couldn’t it be done in, say, I don’t know, six months, like loads of other books seem to be?”), and in case you don’t get the joke it’s that I wrote that post seven years ago. But you know what? I think I might just have written the great, underline-worthy book I set out to write back then.
And it has a cover, featured above for your viewing pleasure. And awesome publishers behind it (Simon & Schuster in North America, Penguin Random House in Australia and New Zealand). And it will be available to buy in all good bookstores eight months from today, on August 4th, 2015.
Here’s a taster of what you can expect:
"Fifty years after the sexual revolution, we are told that we live in a time of unprecedented sexual freedom; that if anything, we are too free now. But beneath the veneer of glossy hedonism, millennial journalist Rachel Hills argues that we are in the grip of a new brand of sexual control: one which impacts us all, whether we are women or men, straight or gay, liberal or conservative. At the heart of this control lies The Sex Myth – the grand significance we invest in sexuality that once meant we were dirty if we did have sex, and now means we are defective if we don’t do it enough.
Equal parts social politics, pop culture, and powerful personal stories from people across the English-speaking world, THE SEX MYTH exposes the invisible norms and unspoken assumptions that shape the way we think about sex today.”
After spending the past seven years reading and interviewing and writing and rewriting (and rewriting, and then rewriting some more - seriously, book writing is all in the rewrites), I’m so excited to be taking The Sex Mythinto the world. And I am preparing lots of exciting ways for you to get involved, including an Ambassador’s Program in the spring and a massive campus tour in the fall. I’ll also be hiring a (paid, New York-based) assistant - details to come early next year. Drop me a line if you’re interested in getting involved with any of these.
And speaking of email… I’m looking to phase out my current email list with a new one from Tiny Letter (sign up here to receive it). While my current list sends you an email every time I publish a post (which sounds a little exhausting, even to me), the new list will be both more personal, with unique content you won’t find on the blog, and more intermittent, with omnibus emails arriving only once every 2-4 weeks, rather than the several times a week at present.
If you are on the current email list and don’t want to see it swapped out, please let me know. If not, I encourage you to sign up to Emails of an Inappropriate Woman. It will be fun, intimate, and I promise not to spam you!
