Want these cupcakes?

Cupcakes from sugar Sweet sunshine
Originally uploaded by rkb1.

Well, not these specific ones cause they'd surely be stale by now. But if you come to In The Flesh next week, we are getting cupcakes delivered from my favorite bakery, sugar Sweet sunshine, so a little break from the mini Whole Foods ones. I know that'll tempt you . . . plus we have fabulous readers and book giveaways. And a little birdie told me it's going to be listed in The New Yorker next week! You can also chow down on free sugar Sweet cupcakes tomorrow at 7:30 at Mo Pitkin's at Chicks and Giggles and after that you may want to swing by Rififi for a super-fun new comedy show (I'm pasting the entire email cause the signoff kills me):

Been insanely busy, was in Westchester most of the weekend at the fabulous Ellen's shower pre-baby party, which featured tons of yummy snacks, rock climbing (!), lacrosse, this game Sticks, and all sorts of awesome people who know many other people I know. Then I got to see my dad get married in a very small, sweet ceremony on a gorgeous day overlooking the water. Now I am madly playing catchup as I finish a bunch of stuff.

You can STILL tell me about your panty lust! Until this Friday. My new column's about . . . "fucking and feminism."

Brain's on overdrive so that's about it. Been writing some new smutty stories and have had a few acceptances for later this year/early next:

"Tourist Attractions" will be in Ultimate Gay Erotica 2007

"Hands Free" will be in Best Lesbian Love Stories: New York City

"Two Strippers in Love" will be in Iridescence

"Paradise" will be in Drag King Erotica

and "Spike" will be in The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica, Volume 6

Am kindof drowning in smut as I read and sort through dozens of anthology submissions and coax more out of my favorite writers. Very excited about my first In The Flesh as a 31-year-old, all the way in November (the 15th, to be precise), which will be on the theme of "Comic Sex" with music by the lovely and talented Adira Amram, and funny sex stories by Claudia Cogan, Mindy Raf, Todd Levin, Baron Vaughn and the adorable Sara Jo Allocco.
