I had a few minutes...
so I looked at the internet. Not the girlswithslingshots.com/questionablecontent.net internet. Not the Gawker media internet. The stuff people say about me internet.
I try to avoid that. I think it’s unhealthy. I tend to let the judgements, good and bad, that people spout when they think they’re talking behind my back or about someone who isn’t a real person roll around in my...

The Trip Home
Somehow we’ve gotten everything on my list done in time to take the subway home. I’m torn between feeling satisfied by the efficiency and feeling lame because we’ll be in bed before one am. I’m also drunk. Breakfast was a long time ago, women have a lower alcohol tolerance than men (they’ve done scientific studies), and I’ve been keeping up with Matt...

How Could A Strip Club Possibly Go Wrong?
So far my big Japan Sex Adventure has been a highly entertaining failure. There have been antics, hijinks, and misadventures, but no successful encounters with anything really sex-y. Perhaps I should have done research before hand, but the blind exploration is usually half the fun. We make our way to the main street and look for a bar, figuring a drink or two might help somehow. I spot the couple...

The Big Fat 0
I can’t remember when or how I first heard about Tokyo Love Hotels. It could have been the title of a film I never sat still long enough to watch. I could be remembering an imaginary sexy doppelganger of Mr. Ramone’s Chelsea Horror Hotel. Likely though, this knowledge came from the internet. Before the term social networking entered the public lexicon, the internet seemed to be made...

Super Kowai Kawaii Maid Cafe…. Of Doom
Kowai means scary. Kawaii means cute. The phonetic similarity evokes the way a lion cub can be adorable even though it is capable of ripping your face off… or how visual indicators of cuteness can be heightened out of all proportion and end up slightly terrifying.
There are Japanese girls dressed as maids in the streets of Akihabara. While I’m sure some of them are dressed as maids for the...

They Call It The Pink Trade Here
Akihabara is full of electronics and anime. It’s the Tokyo that American fans of manga imagine, home to the world’s first dedicated robot store and covered in signs depicting cartoon girls with giant eyes and inhuman waist to hip ratios. Epileptic fit-inducing displays of flashing lights lure customers into shops full of electronics and raw materials for customization or building...

Dear Internet:
Earlier this month I was given the opportunity to guest edit Fleshbot.com. They’re a great website run by an amazing woman, and have given me a ton of support and press throughout my career. When I was asked to host the Fleshbot Awards and write for the site during the week leading up to the event, I immediately said yes. The show went fantastically, the writing went over well and one series...

Mission Accomplished.
It’s kind of like a picture of my breast, except it’s technically SFW.
The Tokyo mass transit system really isn’t so complicated as long as one remembers to look at the *name* of the line as opposed to just the *color* of it.
I have at least another four hours of rhinestone application ahead of me, and my brain is already foggy from the glue fumes. I really must look into...
Road To... Johannesburg.
The hotel was a pseudo-Tuscan themed gated compound with barbed wire and electric fencing on top of the walls. Upon arrival, we were cautioned not to walk across the street at night. The next morning a tour guide picked us up and immediately warned us not to leave the hotel on foot. Later he encouraged us to walk into a cage with a golden retriever sized lion cub and invited us to rub him on the...

I went to South Africa...
… and shook hands with a cheetah. This is what my wrist looked like afterwards:

Donny Vomit is a wary panda.

August, 2008 - Philadelphia, USA
I was laying on the carpet, kneecaps facing upwards and my torso rolled onto one side. An ashtray the size of my head was blocking my view of Jess and the whirls of smoke drifting up from it were fine to look at anyways. Years of interacting and seeing her expressions had given me plenty of familiarity with what her face looked like in most situations.

Road To... Matsue
The Delta terminal at JFK is always full of birds. I used to find this odd, and now I see it as oddly fitting. Of course a place for airplanes is full of birds.
The plane to Seattle was uneventful. There was a short layover which gave me a chance to reflect on how awesome the Sci-Fi museum under the Space Needle is. A Japanese doctor showed me his radiation burns and taught me how to pronounce...
Chicago, 2011
Exxxotica’s first convention in Chicago is this upcoming weekend (July 8th-10th). I like Exxxotica and I like Chicago, so this should be a nifty-fun time.
As usual, I’ll be signing and selling things: 8x10s, Polaroids (ok fine, so it’s actually Fuji Instant… semantics!), DVDs, Fleshlights and a few odds and ends like that Richardson Magazine that Steven Klein photographed...

I Had Bre Pettis's Head In My Purse
Remember Andy Warhol and his fifteen minutes of fame for everyone? His derivative works involving Campbell’s Soup and Marilyn Monroe? The internet has changed the definition of fifteen minutes and modern technology infinitely decreased the barrier of entry for creation and communication of derivative works. What particularly fascinates me is the way that the internet is temporally unhinged....

“If there’s one thing that we see rarely — if at all — in porn, it’s laughter....”
– Hugo Schwyzer (Some laughter with the lovemaking, please: on porn, performance, and deadly seriousness)
Sex with lots of laughing is the best sex. Period.
(via herdirtylittleheart)
Sex is seriously silly :) That’s a big part of why it’s fun.

Feel.
We’re in the car. I’m tired of wearing clothing, I feel constricted. I pop the clasp on the back of my bra open and remove it. You encourage me to take my panties off as well if it’ll make me feel better. You’re filthy. So incredibly filthy in the best ways imaginable. My pussy contracts involuntarily and starts to get wet. I slide the matching net briefs down my legs and...

May in Miami
The last time I was in Miami for Exxxotica I was with Jesse Jane and Riley Steele. They wanted to go to the beach. I am highly sensitive to the sun.
Without an easy place to acquire good sunscreen at a reasonable price but still wanting to participate, I went along with the group to the beach but dressed a little bit… differently.
They were all Southern California style beach bunny with their...

"Take care of your vagina and it will take care of...
My left ovary was in pain.
If you’re just tuning in and haven’t browsed the archives, you should know that I really love my lady-parts. I listen to them, I take care of them, I try to give them everything they could possibly want or need. “Take care of your vagina and it will take care of you” is an oft repeated phrase of mine.
(Although it does inaccurately use the...

"If you feel like shooting..."
This question (in various forms) gets asked so often that it’s more efficient to address it this way than to continue responding individually. If you want to take pictures of me, or put me in a video, or cast me in a film or whatever other project you’ve dreamed up and want to involve me in, please email Guyleen. Guyleen (at) digitalplayground (dot) com Guyleen is awesome. She kicks...

Blake Butler 'There Is No Year'
‘There Is No Year’ was painful in the same way Gaspar Noe’s Enter the Void or Sean Baker’s Take Out were painful. I think the stretches of monotony were a storytelling device, a way of fleshing out the environment by show as opposed to tell. Even though email and social networking and cell phones were frequently mentioned in the story, I kept feeling like they were in the...

Way too much information about my ladyparts...
…and a fairly unedited rant on some closely related subjects.
Yesterday I went in for my first laser hair removal treatment on my ladyparts. Since laser hair removal is fairly permanent and I’ve had a couple of bad waxing experiences where the aesthetician took too much hair or shaped what they left too much for my tastes, I was very specific about what of my pubes I wanted to keep. I...

Speaking of Sparkles
Cellphone camera pics do not do them justice.

Now.
Thank you

I haven't been sewing much lately...
… because I’ve been gluing. Gluing rhinestones to underpants, to be precise.
Oh, and trying to avoid cigarettes and obsessively doing chin-ups and leg lifts because while I’ve never been the type to weigh myself I’m kind of worried that quitting smoking will make me fat. Crazy, I know. I’m guessing I’ve been using cigarettes as a chemical worry suppressant...
pouete asked: Hi Stoya,
I've got a shot, and i must admit politically incorrect, question : what is the difference between a girl who sells her body (escort for example) and a porn actress? (cameras excepted)
It is not an attack but a real question.
Thx,
Peter
