I'm reading spanking erotica in the dark Friday, November 2nd, in the same room where these sexy photos were shot

These photos by Constance and Eric were shot in the back room at Shag in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, back when I only had one tattoo (I now have three, and with my impending birthday am a bit tempted to get another one), except for the sunglasses one, which was shot in the front room of Shag by Anya Garrett, both photographers who I adore and highly recommend. Can you tell I love that store? I just may buy myself an early birthday present of some jewelry. I'll be reading part of my nude hotel spanking story "Marks" from Cheeky Spanking Stories on Friday, November 2nd, as part of Audio Smut.

This photo makes me happy

This was from the first set of GiGi La Femme's performance at the last In The Flesh. And in a few months I hope to do a cool multimedia event. I don't know what yet because I'm getting through some other events first, but I loved hosting burlesque so much I want to do it again! Photo by Anya Garrett.

Last In The Flesh photos and new blog: Books Food Fashion

Here's one photo of 151 from the last In The Flesh; see the entire set by Anya Garrett, who I hope to keep on working with in some capacity, because she's wonderful. I have to set some of them to moderate (you'll just have to click to see them) since Flickr doesn't love boobs as much as I do!


yay us! And my lovely new one-shoudler Yumi Kim dress. This was during the break, right after Stormy Leather's performance.

I am on a ton of book and article deadlines, and after the last few years of sheer flakiness, trying to actually prioritize writing. I know, ME! It's a shocker, or it will be, if I get them turned in. But I am abandoning my Tumblr blog and trying to mentally kick myself when I go into blogging about my personal life mode (I should get paid for that, right?) so in lieu of my blathering about dumb stuff, I am trying to actually talk about things I like in three main areas on my new Posterous blog: Books Food Fashion. I suck at commitment, but I do find I like the structure of a blog with a topic, and those are things I have a lot to say about, especially as I set about getting rid of so many clothes and books at home. So we'll see. Gotta get back to the words, which are coming about as slowly as one can possibly write, but they are coming.

Glam fashion shots of me in ModCloth dress by Anya Garrett

These photos are from last Thursday's Orgasm Night at In The Flesh at Happy Ending Lounge; all are by Anya Garrett. See many more photos from that night in this Flickr set.


In my ModCloth Bossa Nova dress, which I give 5 of 5 stars. It feels amazing on and is the first one-shouldered dress I've worn. Plus the gold accent gives me an excuse to get gold and black tights and pair it with my gold and black Fluevogs (Precious, I can't seem to find an exact link for them, but I first saw them at Fluevog in Beverly Hills, ordered them from Zappos). I felt amazing in it and didn't want to take it off. Tights: $7.99 at Duane Reade.





And our group photo, plus a reminder about Comedy Sex Night November 18th, whose lineup is being added to. Also don't miss free cupcakes and my birthday celebration and Passion: Erotic Romance for Women reading November 11th; details on Facebook.

Vanity shot at Shag

And a reminder to me to get more of the Anya Garrett photos posted! She'll be on hand tomorrow night at In The Flesh Reading Series to snap all the sexy food magic.

My breasts in postcard form

Well, me holding my breasts - close enough.



So much to say about my newly decluttered apartment, all the self-improvement I've been attempting, and more, but deadlines and life (and, tonight, Splurge) await. But I will be back in blogging/writing form soon.

For now, I've got these postcards featuring one of my photos by Anya Garrett promoting me baring my breasts January 28th at SHAG, 7:30 pm, 108 Roebling Street at N. 6th, Williamsburg, Brooklyn ($5; free Karma Champagne to first 60 people). We'll be auctioning off the bust for charity, then having a book party and signing for Peep Show: Erotic Tales of Voyeurs and Exhibitionists. It's going to be an event you don't want to miss!

If you want a postcard, they'll be at SHAG by Sunday, or email me at rachelkb at gmail.com with "Shag postcard" in the subject line (US only). See more of Anya's photos photos of me (all shot at SHAG!) in this Flickr set - hopefully this weekend I can get some of the racier ones up.

Boob casting, January 28th, Erotica workshops Febraury and March at SHAG

We will have details and signup information about my January 28th boob casting (yes, my boobs are being cast, live, in public, and we will auction off the casting, plus there's a Peep Show party after and YES, there will be cupcakes, 7:30-10) and my erotic writing workshops (afternoons of February 6, 13, 27 and March 6) at Shag very, very soon, like next week. I promise. I encourage you to shop at Shag in the meantime, or just go and browse all the art, jewelry, cards, bondage coasters, hankies (as in hanky code), lingerie, sex toys and much more. The dressing room is divine!

For now, some more of my photos by Anya Garrett - I'm still sorting through all the ones she shot and deciding on the right sexy one of me featuring Njoy's Eleven to feature in the postcard. Yes, there will be postcards and I'd be happy to mail you one once we get it all sorted out! I'm up to my eyeballs in writing and planning and personal organizing/decluttering and, you, know, life, but this is one of the things I'm most excited about in 2010. I haven't taught erotica in New York in a long time and have never done an ongoing workshop, so I'm truly looking forward to that as well as getting my breasts slathered in Vaseline and covered in plaster (or whatever the material is used to make casts).

Shag photo shoot sneak peek

A sneak peek at one of the photos Anya Garrett took of me on Sunday at Shag in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Partly for fun, partly because I wanted new photos, and partly to promote the January 28th casting of my boobs I'm doing at Shag. Yes, there are some topless photos but the hottest ones imo are more suggestive than anything. Also, I LOVE working with Anya nd highly recommend her. Another inspiration for the shoot was that every time I visit her site or Flickr page I'm agog with all the gorgeousness going on.

Adventures in exhibitionism (aka toplessness)

It's pretty much official, so I better tell you to save the date: the evening of Thursday, January 28th, 2010, I'm getting my boobs cast at Shag. Yes, they do castings (any body part) and we're going to do it live, free, and open to the public, followed by a little soiree (it's me so I'm sure there will be cupcakes involved) and Peep Show: Erotic Tales of Voyeurs and Exhibitionists book signing). Oh, and we'll be donating the proceeds from the sale of my bust to charity (we're still working out which charity). I'm excited about being slathered in Vaseline and ogled.

Sunday I'm going to do a photo shoot, in part because I need new headshots, and in part to promote the event. Next time you're in Williamsburg (2 blocks from the Bedford L train stop, and right near the amazing massage givers at Greenhouse Holistic!), do check out Shag.

Porn star and slut readings by Kerry Cohen and Diana Joseph

These are readings from the September 2009 In The Flesh (next one is Sex and Comedy night October 15th, then big blowout 4 year anniversary night with prizes November 19th). I will post others soon. And yes, of course I'm being somewhat tongue in cheek with those descriptions, yet the readings really are about, respectively, Kerry Cohen being her lover's own personal porn star and Diana Joseph reading from "The Girl Who Only Sometimes Said No" about sluttiness. Enjoy!



"They want to fuck nasty, and that's exactly what I want too." (on Army boys and a fuck buddy she met on Facebook)

Kerry Cohen reading from "Porn Star"



"You can't just call a girl a slut and not explain what you mean by it."

Diana Joseph reads from "The Girl Who Only Sometimes Said No" from her memoir I'm Sorry You Feel That Way: The Astonishing but True Story of a Daughter, Sister, Slut, Wife, Mother, and Friend to Man and Dog - this is one of my favorite pieces of writing EVER, and will be reprinted in the my forthcoming anthology Best Sex Writing 2010 (which Kerry Cohen has a piece in under a pseudonym as well, more on that later)

Here's a little followup video interview shot the next day by me with Diana Joseph on sluttiness:



And here's a photo of me and my boobs sandwiched between them (I have since realized this dress works MUCH better sans bra, sorry everyone!).
