Please check out my dear friend Monika’s new internet radio show: Sexploration with Monika. The show is on a new internet radio station called Erotic Radio Live. She is an awesome, sex-positive, queer-positive, feminist! (And I should know. We’ve been friends since high school!) You can listen to a 10-minute condensed sample of her hour-long…
If you pick up November’s Allure magazine, you’ll find my letter to the editor second from the top (and after another Emily!, but with one “m”). The letter is in praise of Judith Newman’s cover piece on Britney Spears this summer. I would link to it, but Allure didn’t post the cover story on their…
