What Does It Take to Get on Jerry Springer's Dating Show?

Last night Jerry Springer's new dating show, Baggage, premiered on the Game Show Network.

Last night Jerry Springer's new dating show, Baggage, premiered on the Game Show Network. What kind of baggage does one need to get on a show from the man who brought freaks, fetishes, and family violence to our living rooms? Well, Springer himself told Reuters, it could be as benign as a woman who sees her ex every week or repulsive as a man who keeps a jar of his sperm in the fridge, and anywhere in between.

The show is set up like this: three people put all their eccentricities, repulsive habits, and dark secrets out there and then an unlucky person chooses between them. Who would audition for this mess? These people. Here's an audition tape of Baggage hopefuls.

Does anyone know what "ratting" is? I don't want to believe any of the Urban Dictionary definitions!

Zoning Rules Don't Consent to Sex Parties

The Party Police totally killed the vibe recently in one Maryland neighborhood.

The Party Police totally killed the vibe recently in one Maryland neighborhood. Families in the close-knit Bethesda community weren't happy that neighbor Paul Pickthrone was hosting "bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism" (BDSM) parties in his castle-like house that is decked out with dungeon apparatuses. As one participant explained, the parties attracted a diverse group:

"Men, women, transgender, heterosexuals, gays, bisexuals. Every ethnicity. White-collar and blue-collar. It's really very, very diverse — though we do have an unusually high percentage of lawyers. I don't know why."

Despite the cross-section of people, the nonkinky residents wanted to put an end to the "sex parties." But since the law does not regulate what activities people can consensually engage in at a party, the police couldn't do anything — until they found a loophole. Paul collected donations to cover the cost of hosting the party, and he donated the rest to a sexual freedom group. Since money changed hands, zoning officials declared that he needed a commercial permit. So now Paul must either cancel his parties or stop collecting donations. I'm guessing his next event will be BYOW (bring your own whip).

Would you get upset if your neighbor hosted sex parties?

Handle This: He Has a Secret Fetish

Your boyfriend feels like your sex life needs a pick me up, but he doesn’t seem too thrilled when you suggest different positions.

Your boyfriend feels like your sex life needs a pick me up, but he doesn’t seem too thrilled when you suggest different positions. Instead, he says that he has his own idea, but he wants it to be a surprise.

The next night when you get home, he’s in the bedroom waiting for you. Laid out across the bed is a naughty nurse uniform. He has a stethoscope around his neck and he’s ready to play make-believe. How would you handle this?

Mostly Holes

We have been leading up to a lace filled fall for some time now.
We have been leading up to a lace filled fall for some time now. Community member, Style...A Work In Progress has been scouring ecommerce land for the best buys and a few delightful remarks such as this quote from Mary Wilson "it is difficult to see why lace should be so expensive, its mostly holes." We have already established just how this particular material makes so much sense in the here and now so it's interesting to note the trickling appearance of fall deliveries and just how they work with this precious textile. We in particular like the nearly ubiquitous appearance of the practically cliché black lace granny dress. Everyone from Derek Lam to Phillip Lim has one. The dowdy staple brings somehow manages to evoke sexual fetishization and the appearance of frugality, all while suggesting that aren't we naughty for thinking its either. With the pressure to remain practical in a recession that just begs us to remember the precious its going to be an interesting season indeed for lace. Its just too bad the first inklings of the buy are so damn boring. But we are willing to bet its going to sell very well indeed, its so easy to justify the purchase when really its mostly holes anyway.

Top Sex Fetishes: Last Five

Yesterday, I told you about the first five of the Top 10 Sex Fetishes, according to AskMen.com.

Yesterday, I told you about the first five of the Top 10 Sex Fetishes, according to AskMen.com. Are you ready to hear the last five, most popular fetishes? They may surprise you!

5. Fingernails and lipstick: I know red lipstick and long red fingernails were a thing of the '80s, but some people are still obsessed with it. I guess there's something about perfectly puckered red lips — when you kiss them, lipstick smudges all over both people's faces, making men feel like they're having sex with a prostitute (something that's rebellious and taboo). As for the nails, some people absolutely love the feel of fingernails running along their backs, and they need it in order to get aroused.

4. Braids, ponytails, pigtails: This is the little-girl syndrome. Having sex with someone they perceive as young reminds them of a virgin, and also falls into the category of doing something that's wrong. Braids and long pigtails can also be used to whip or tickle a person, which is also a huge turn on. On the other hand, some women have a fetish for no hair, and they love rubbing a man's bald head.

Top 10 Sex Fetishes: One to Five

A while back, I told you about the different types of fetishes people have when it comes to sex.

A while back, I told you about the different types of fetishes people have when it comes to sex. There's media (which has to do with how something feels), form (which has to do with the shape of something or how it looks), and animate (anything having to do with human body parts). There are tons of specific fetishes that fall into those categories, so let's check out which ones ranked the highest according to AskMen.com. Just to remind you, a fetish is characterized as an obsession, not just something you are attracted to. If a person has a fetish involving one of the things listed below, it means that she needs to think about or see that thing to get aroused.

Here are five of the top 10 fetishes:

10. Stomachs: Who can resist a soft, toned, and lean belly, right? Well some guys with this fetish may have a thing about ejaculating onto a woman's belly.

9. Body piercings: Younger people (18 to 35) tend to be into this. Piercings in the nose, navel, nipple, eyebrow, lip, or tongue are a must for people with this fetish. Feeling or seeing the cold metal is a huge turn on.

David Lynch Shoves Panties in His Mouth

David Lynch was the unconventional mastermind behind the freakish television series Twin Peaks.

David Lynch was the unconventional mastermind behind the freakish television series Twin Peaks. He's also received Oscar nominations for directing the dark masterpieces Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive. So how does this accomplished Hollywood bigwig show a fan his utmost gratitude? He duplicates (well, almost) a notorious scene from Blue Velvet and shoves the fan's panties in his mouth. I'm sure an autographed head shot or a hug would've sufficed just fine, but . . .

Lace Trends In The Bridal Market And Beyond

It's a fetish-friendly time in the fashion industry.
It's a fetish-friendly time in the fashion industry. Commodities, the material component of capitalism, are the medium by which we understand value. When material commodities become scarce, the capitalist tendency is fetishize their worth (we do this when they are not scarce but the process is exaggerated when things beginning running out. See the 'limited edition' phenomenon in retail for more). We see these tendencies in the textile industry first. One of the most poignant shows from the Fall 08 season was from Prada. Lace was at the forefront of the collection and it is this textile, fetishized with or without a recession, that stands as an example of how material culture can represent socioeconomic circumstances. Lace is treated as a kind of 'special' textile simply because it is associated with 'special' Western rituals, like weddings and funerals. WWD reported today on the increasing popularity of the textile, seen from Fall 08 and now Resort 09 collections and it is, quite frankly, not a surprise. We like our commodities, we want to keep them, when they begin running out, we exaggerate the remains so that they become exclusive and valuable. Queue lace, ribbons, skins, and fur. Fashion's response to this recession and the upcoming Spring 09 collections should be quite interesting indeed.
