Even though I dropped almost completely off the radar last week, somehow the world didn’t. I wanted to be sure to share some of these items with you before they become obsolete. (I promise, as I get better each day, I’ll stop slacking a little more each day.) Believe in reducing your carbon footprint? How…
Sometimes I really love Las Vegas. As if having the Miss Exotic World weekend (June 7-10) here every year weren’t awesome enough, this year they are looking for a few beautiful breasts in the name of charity. On June 8 there will be a “casting party” where selected women (including some famous folks such as…
I consider myself a fairly progressive person but one conflict I don’t understand is the Arts District anti-development group versus the new developer group. And I genuinely mean that. I don’t understand it. Feel free to break it down for me (but remember your manners, kids). The way I see it, and granted all my…
Those who read the comments may notice that Erin McCarty of the Nevada Conservation League has left some great ones on the more eco-oriented posts.

We’ve exchanged some lovely e-mails and through the generosity of the local feminist community we already have a place for her to stay. Looks like she’ll…

I just wanted to put up a quick post for all the new people who might be finding the site today, nearly the end of my second week as a blogger! (I can’t believe The Sin City Siren is the first thing that comes up when you plug this blog’s name into Yahoo! Wow!) Super…
Yesterday I read about an amazing 29-year-old woman named Erin Davies. On the National Day of Silence last month the Sage Graduate School student went out to her VW bug on her way to work and saw the words “u r gay” and “fag” spray painted across it. According to her Myspace page, she believes…
