Like a sex machine

Annalee Newitz's latest column is about a visit to an internet porn shoot where some of the performers are machines with names like "the chopper." Seems like Violet Blue just the other day mentioned these girls, but I can't find the post. Maybe I'm wrong.

Confidential to Ms. Newitz: Would you consider changing your standard bio? The "surly media nerd" tag is getting old for me. Just my two cents.

Hey, this is tonight:

In San Francisco - Wednesday, May 17, 6-10 pm: the first Mission Creek Comic Book Art Show, at Queen's Nails Annex gallery, 3191 Mission St.. Co-curated by Shannon O'Leary, the show will celebrate the release of Girl Stories by Lauren Weinstein and Fortune's Bitch by O'Leary and Eric Koepfle.

It will be great.
