If you are an average girl taking the pill, you’d think Naoki is crazy to dare having the idea for such invention. However, you can’t call yourself a real drag queen if you don’t have a Naoki Kawamoto Menstruation Machine. Fitted with a blood dispensing mechanism and lower-abdomen-stimulating electrodes, the Menstruation Machine simulates the pain and bleeding of an average 5 day human menstruation. Sounds like the last step after tons of make-up, attention-craving clothes, wigs, hair-removal procedures, hormones, breast implants and a casual sex change. They don’t make those vaginas bleed, do they?! To spare further confusion and if you’re an experienced sex-changed reader, leave an expert comment.

Back to the topic of the post: The Menstruation Machine (Takashi’s Take) is a music video about a boy ‘Takashi’, who builds the machine in an attempt to dress up as a female, biologically as well as aesthetically, to fulfill his desire to understand what it might feel like to be a truly kawaii (cute) girl. He determinedly wears the machine to hang out with his kawaii friends in Tokyo and hang out with his girlfriends. You will love the track, too:

This was a tough one. 2 days in a roll I’ve been nipping, tucking, editing, choosing music, converting, recycling and extracting. It was a rough ride, but I enjoyed every single step of it. What I’m talking about here is the video interview with Gerry Visco – devoted horny nerds don’t need further introduction.

For the wannabes: Geraldine Winfried Visco is writer with more than 150 articles in last 3 years; performer, photographer, and radio show host on WKCR FM; she regularly covers parties, events, and the arts for New York Press in a weekly column. But most of all she is the most fabulous celebutante, fashionista and a true diva I had the chance to meet (just online till now). Ever.

Her immense energy and creative power cannot be tamed (unlike Miley Cyrus). That’s why maybe it took me so long to nip/tuck the interview with her and produce 3 episodes. We sat one Sunday in front of our laptops and had a chat on skype. I won’t tease you, here come all 3 parts:

“Berlin, NYC and Timing” in which Gerry gives you the most precious advice you will ever get.

“Photography an (wo)Men” – Gerry explains why we should keep ALL our options opened.

“Bold And The Beautiful” – some may call it trash-talking, but they won’t watch anyway. Gerry is just being sincere about the New York celebrity scene. And about true beauty.

This entry should’ve been published yesterday – because yesterday was also Gerry’s birthday. Happy birthday on crooks, Gerry (as they say in Bulgaria when you haven’t made it with the video  editing in one day).

Berlin is the center of many kinds of start-ups – commercial start-ups like extravagant companies or new products; political start-ups like fugitives seeking shelter and personal start-ups like young actors and aggressive self-publicists. If you belong to the last type then you will definitely find the following information extremely useful. There’s an audition you have to attend – for puppetry. Your skills in self-expression and reinvention will be very highly valued and your rather obvious than hidden potential will be rewarded. Oh, I forgot to mention it’s Penis Puppetry we’re talking about here.

The Puppetry Of The Penis – that show where two dudes make sophisticated origami with their genitals for a paying (mainly female megahorny giggly) audience – is looking for new talents. They’re holding open auditions for their new show, and you’ve got only two weeks to rehearse! For dates and venues visit their website. For practice, just start with the following slightly NSFW collection and let your imagination go wild: read more

There are a lot of porn actors in Berlin. Marcel Schlutt was one of them. The 32-y-o actor based in Berlin, used to be one of the sales magnets for Cazzo Film. He then went through the bold creative factory of Bruce LaBruce in OTTO where he learned to come out of his shell… and eat raw rabbit flesh. Now he is part of a love story trilogy about the interaction between 3 couples’ love lives and has turned to a visitor magnet for international movie festivals in USA, Canada and France. In the first movie called “Alex and Leo” Marcel plays a hetero guy who falls in love with another man and finds his way to homosexuality (but don’t worry, there is more!)

I met him at St. Oberholz in the hipstery central Berlin Mitte and had a nice chat about sluts, love and Japanese movies with Nazis. Oh, and he shared the recipe at the end with you – give a shout if you’ve tried it. And sorry for the poor sound quality.

It’s been quite hot lately. Sunday was actually the hottest day in the history of Berlin. Monday was just the same but on a workday. Weather has been going bananas recently in Western Europe. Usually I am waiting for the summer to end to go back to Bulgaria for a couple of days, but this time summer caught me flat-footed (and I don’t mean my flat feet!)

However, there are places where people couldn’t possibly live without summer. Or hot weather. In California, for example. The guys there are proportionally hot. But you can’t trust blindly someone who has never been in California now, could you? That’s why I borrowed some images by Dirty Butt as hard evidence. Enjoy the whole collection: read more
