I'm Just Not That Into Me

Not into me from Liz Langley on Vimeo . Before you check out my take on that exhausted catchphrase “He’s Just Not That Into You” I want to share something I didn’t have time for in the video, which is that Dr. Ian Kerner, best-selling author, sex therapist and super nice guy, wrote what I consider a FAR SUPERIOR book on the subject of moving on called “Be Honest – You’re Not That Into Him Either.” If your romantic expectations are doing a number on you check out Dr. Kerner’s book…right after you check out my video, of course.

The Love Doctor

My pal Jeff Gordinier at Details  magazine did a must-read story this month on Slade Fiero, a guy in California who makes his living repairing the damage men to do and the accidents that happen to Real Dolls, the pricey, life-like love dolls which, for many, replace human companionship. There are more pics in the actual magazine so you might want to pick that up as well but for now just go check out  The Love Doctor

The Porn is Green

Back in January, Larry Flynt & Joe Francis gave us all a good laugh by asking Congress for a $5 billion bailout for the porn industry. I say they should get it - if they go environmental. Here's my latest on alternet:  http://www.alternet.org/environment/126664/ The Porn is Green Hope you enjoy it!!

Like, A Virgin

Speaking of alternet.org (as in my last post), this is my latest on their website, about Natalie Dylan, the young woman who is auctioning off her virginity. What’s she gonna do if the Far Right buys it and makes her keep it? Advice for Natalie Dylan

Did you ever get the feeling you were being watched?

6500 Views! I'm so psyched because my first video blog from back in September 2008 has gotten 6500 views even on YouTube as of right this minute! There have been a couple since and there are more on the way but in the meantime, here's the one that's getting around (thanks in large part to the help of alternet.org) Enjoy!

All That Twitters

It should never be a surprise when people find ways to use technology sexually as in Violet Blue’s SF Gate story in SFGate about how people letting others know via direct messages on   www.twitter.com - while they’re having sex.             I’m fairly new to digital flirting, but I’m pretty sure of of this: the day I can Twitter  during sex…I’m having really bad sex. Really bad. Isn’t that like going to a movie and bringing a book? Isn’t sex kind of….enough? I never thought of myself as a luddite, but the day my Blackbery is spellchecking my orgasms is the day move to a cabin in Oregon and grow a beard.             Of course one of these days I’ll try it and completely retract everything I just said – the day you see “Yes!” 50 times in my status update (because I’ll have screwed up and written it publically instead of privately) is the day you’ll know.             The story does suggest that if you’re going to Tweet during sex (which is evidently perfectly natural and nothing to be em

Sita Sings the Blues

Hindu goddess Sita lives for husband Rama until she’s kidnapped by an evil king and her dithering deity of a husband doubts her devotion. Narrated by three Indonesian shadow puppets with impeccable comic timing (you read right,) Sita  delivers several animation styles, 1920’s jazz songs AND the breakup story of an American couple based on the true story of filmmaker Nina Paley. I just love people who don’t know the word “enough.” And I love that this is what Paley did with her broken heart. By taking her lousy love experience and turning it into this glittering cinematic firework - and my new favorite movie ever - Paley gives everyone the assurance that you can do more than rise above the pain – you can use it as fuel for greatness. You can read more about Nina Paley here  : Nina Paley And of course you’ll come to the Florida Film Festival but in the meantime here’s a clip. We know how you love a tease:
