More Than a Supermodel
Kate Moss, Pete Doherty
nym: Model is not really enough of a word to describe Kate Moss. Even supermodel is similarly wrong, in spite of the fact that she is one of the few with legitimate claim to the title. When it comes to cool, Kate Moss is simply on a different plane than everyone else.In a world of models on juice fasts and yoga retreats taking bit parts in movies because “really the plan was always to act,” Kate Moss is a fantastic bit of sex and rock and roll.
She doesn’t bore us with talk of green tea or locavore cuisine; instead, she dates grungy-hot rock stars—like Pete Doherty, admitted heroin addict and bona fide rock god—and then appears on the Internet dancing around topless to their songs.
She’s something from another era, when there was no question that celebrities’ lives were nothing at all like our own: They were far, far more fun.
fleshbot: I'm not going to lie to you: as a band, the Vassarettes are pretty bad—especially since they exist solely to shill Vassarette bras. On the other hand, they're hot girls. In their bras.So, much as the culture snob within me would like to deride this video as a cheap attempt to hype a product... unfortunately, I just can't turn away from it. (And hey, it could be worse: at least they're not called The Wonder Bras.) Check their site

rl: I asked Kink.com’s Thomas Roche what I thought was the million-dollar question. And for Kink that million dollars is probably literal.“Thomas. You work at Kink. The Fucking Machines site is insanely popular. Why!? Why do people want to watch women have sex with machines, and pay good money to do it? What’s the appeal?”
Thomas is of course used to this type of outburst from me onstage. His response was fantastic, including conjecture about the viewers projecting themselves into the scene, but he centered on the basic fact that it’s a woman alone, pleasuring herself, with no unnecessary window dressing tacked on.
It’s true that a machine enables huge variations in how one conjures an orgasm, as in speed, stroke, size, vibration, steadiness, how long it all lasts — things that wouldn’t be possible with a human.
Thomas told me, “There are many other advantages to sex with a human, and many things you will not get — yet — from a machine, like skin touch, smell, eye contact, tenderness, etc.
"Those things that humans alone can provide (so far) are only part of the sexual experience, but they are so fraught with intensity that they can often dominate the experience." (read more]
