"Cupcakes will be served." The New Yorker, July 24, 2006 edition, page 18! Be there - tomorrow! I will also be giving away a big stack of books (not mine), and one copy of your choice of the three Fetish Chest books Ultimate Undies, Sexiest Soles or Secret Slaves: Erotic Stories of Bondage.

Unrelated to In The Flesh, but New Yorker fans might enjoy the blogs Newyorkette and Emdashes, both inspired by the magazine, Daniel Radosh's weekly New Yorker Cartoon Anti-Caption Contest, and the weekly (for the summer) Rejection Show at Mo Pitkin's, featuring a rotating lineup, always with rejected New Yorker cartoons.
