Phone Sex: In Living Color

SimchaDecember 25, 2008 //

Photographer Phillip Toledano has captured portraits of people who are usually heard and not seen. In his coffee table book “Phone Sex”, the people behind the dirty talk pose for their audience. And it’s stunning! Toledano shot them in their own homes and clothes — it’s these everyday women and yes, MEN, naturally sexy in their natural habitat. From a 60-year-old Ivy League grad to a ladies man who loves his chihuahua, it’s not what you’d expect from people who get others off for hours on end. Plus they also dish their professional secrets, from the saucy to the scary. It’s a real look at the smooth talkers behind all those jobs! [Trend Hunter] Keep reading »

Technology Spawns A New Kind Of Peeping Tom

Susannah BreslinNovember 26, 2008 //

Salon’s Tracy Clark-Flory has a really interesting piece up this week: “Porn in a Flash.” It’s about “upskirting,” the unsuspecting women who star in it, and how there’s not always a lot the law can do to stop it. What’s upskirting? Basically, it’s an “up the skirt” photo or video, taken by a digital Peeping Tom, who shoots surreptitiously. Cellphones enabled the genre, and websites are dedicated to upskirt shots. For the women, it’s like starring in a soft-core shoot — without their knowledge. In the past, women turned to state “Peeping Tom laws,” but, in a unique twist, because the act takes place in public, women don’t have a “right to a reasonable expectation of privacy,” spawning “a frontier of rogue pornographers from all over the world.” Clark-Flory writes: “It’s such a craze in Japan that cellphone cameras now come with a shutter sound that alerts bystanders that a photo is being taken; in that country, even the iPhone 3G features an extra-loud anti-upskirt alarm.” While Britney helped popularized the upskirt phenomenon when she flashed her, um, Britney for the paps, for other women, upskirting is digital overexposure.

The Sartorialist: The Book?

Susannah BreslinOctober 24, 2008 //

The Sartorialist, a.k.a. Scott Schuman, is one of my favorite photographer bloggers, with his candid, beautiful shots of cool fashionistas and slick stylists, who he finds on streets around the world. Now, Fashionista is reporting a rumor that Sart, whose own image appeared in a recent GAP campaign, has scored a book deal, possibly with Harper Collins, for a coffee table book of his iconic images. After the jump, my top ten favorite Sartorialist photos so far in 2008. Keep reading »

Pornography From The Past

Catherine StrawnMay 9, 2008 //

Erotic pictures from the 1800s were very different from the ones guys gaze at these days. The women didn’t have fake tans or have silicone boobs; there was not such thing as a women’s razor, and they definitely didn’t wax; and men were often photographed with their socks on (just like Eliot Spitzer!).

He Makes Funny Faces, Should I Marry Him?

Catherine StrawnApril 23, 2008 //

I’m sure there are many moments during an engagement when you wonder (never out loud, of course), “Why am I marrying him?” Photographer Kate Hutchinson explores this thought by taking pictures of her fiancé, who seems like a really good sport. Kate, if you come to the conclusion that marrying him is not a good idea, I think he’s pretty cute. [Kate Hutchinson Photography (click on Why am I marrying him?) via A Cup of Jo] Keep reading »

San Francisco’s Soap Star

SimchaMarch 14, 2008 //

San Francisco film crew staffer, Brian Benson, was sick of being teased by co-workers that he was playing gay to get chicks — which, btw, one of the funniest pop songs by The Blood Hound Gang. So to get back at the men who were jealous of all the female attention he was getting, Benson decided to rub-a-dub-dub it in their faces by showering with his girlfriends and then taking Polaroids to prove it. By the end of the year, he had reached his goal of 100! Best of all, you can see these cheeky photos that are cleverly nudity free-ish on his website, but we’re waiting for the coffee table version!
