Like me, I’m sure you’re all sick to death of hearing about Fifty Shades of Grey, et al – except the cultural significance of the trilogy goes far beyond its “sentences.” This may be part of the reason why it’s struck such a raw nerve. And this weekend, said nerve pain is
I just got home after six long nights at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas, which can only mean one thing – another cycle of AVN Awards have come and gone. The 2015 AVN Awards, hosted by Alexis Texas and “Tomy Pistol” (as was announced by a fantabulous typo on
