In The Flesh videos and postcards available

I've posted a whole bunch of In The Flesh videos from recent months on the site and on YouTube. I'm posting Mara Altman's sacred whore ass-eating story from her orgasm memoir Thanks for Coming and Craig Yoe's amazing Superman fetish art PowerPoint presentation below. Also, if you want an In The Flesh postcards (U.S. only), just email your mailing address to me at rachelravenous at gmail.com - these cover June, July and August (September 17th was going to be Spanking Night, but now features Speed Shrinking author Susan Shapiro and Loose Girl author Kerry Cohen, among others, spanking will be later in the year).

Key phrase in Mara Altman's reading from her memoir Thanks for Coming: "beer can of a cock."





After some technical difficulties on my end, we got PowerPoint up and running and Craig Yoe, author of Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-creator Joe Shuster, gave one of the most delightful, hilarious, and fun presentations I've seen in my three and a half years running In The Flesh. Thank you, Craig, for such a fantastic presentation. Watch it now:

In The Flesh on Boing Boing = SHOW UP EARLY!

Since I got berated last time for the huge crowd from someone who'd never been (it was SRO, but it's a rather small bar), I'm now saying that while the official start time of In The Flesh Reading Series is still 8:00, you should arrive by 7:30 if you want a seat. Doors are at 7! See below or the In The Flesh site for details.

Thanks so much to reader Craig Yoe, author of the excellent Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-creator Joe Shuster and BoingBoing for listing it!

Colleen Kane at Nerve's Scanner blog reported on a possible case of library censorship involving a Spiderman graphic novel:

When a 6-year-old boy brought home a Spider-Man graphic novel from his school library in Millard, Nebraska, his mother found it to be age-inappropriate and requested that it be removed from the library.

The offending comic is from 2002 and was rated PG, Ages 12+, and features Mary Jane (above) in a bikini and short skirt. Woah now! It's not like you can see that anywhere you turn like on TV, the Internet, movies, or real life.

The school district's head librarian is forming a committee to determine what course of action to take. And this will take how many resources...?



Interestingly, Craig Yoe's book Secret Identity offers a fascinating look at the bondage and other kinky art Spiderman creator Joe Shuster made. And they're having a book party!
