Men as Pigs in Trojan Evolve Ad Campaign
Alexa here. The Trojan pig vid below isn’t new (early 2007), and I’m not certain about these print ads. Featured all over the Internet today by TheArabAcquarius, the campaign reminds us that we must EVOLVE in our use of condoms. The Europeans are far ahead of us on this subject.

According to the article in today’s NY Times, 46 percent of women and 30 percent of men would opt to forgo sex for two weeks instead of giving up access to their precious Internet...

Madonna and Her Polo Player
By now you all know that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are divorcing. While the American tabloids are predicting a rumble — they can only hope and pray — sources close to the couple say “wait up, not so fast.”
Ignoring the American fixation on Madona and her boy toy baseball guy friend, the Brits say “forget infidelity or arguments over money.”
Guy Ritchie went from...

Alexa Cushing has been pretty darn aggravated by much of Madonna’s US press. Zeitgeist is a big word, and it’s not mine, talking about Madonna. It belongs to the London Times and their reporting on this latest celebrity divorce.
Pretentious or not, zeitgeist does describe Madonna’s timing trajectory over the years. We may be disappointed with the pending divorce, but as the...

Will Madonna become the global ambassador for this new breed of woman, often with children, a great house and her freedom to boot? I know that the average woman’s bank account is a pittance of the big M’s, but symbolically she does represent where women are headed.
In my other life, I also questioned whether men are put off my Madonna’s sizzling sensuality and physicality at 50....

Alexa Cushing Launches ArtfulPussy
We’ve launched a new Tumblr PhotoBlog called ArtfulPussy.
For years I’ve toyed with people’s imaginations in sexy design presentations. More than one client has expressed dismay to find himself squirming in a Powerpoint Presentation, filled with innocent but suddenly erotic and disruptive fruits and vegetables.
Embarassed and feeling a bit ridiculous, clients are nevertheless...

A Breast Here; A Breast There
Alexa here. NYTimes style writer Guy Trebay reflects on nudity and the business of seeing naked people as being … well, rather humdrum. I can relate.
Editing through hundreds of photos of naked women for BuzzNoirBabes is not erotic after awhile. Looking at the most private parts of a girl’s anatomy, I become totally pragmatic in my assessment of which photo to post. Tim Blanks, a contributing...
