M. Gigi Durham, author of The Lolita Effect: The Media Sexualization of Young Girls and What We Can Do About It, talks to Katharine Miezkowski of Salon.com about the "many ways that young girls' sexuality is shaped and exploited by a marketplace where younger is better and the line between child porn and art gets ever blurrier." In a wide-ranging interview (podcast is available on Salon), Professor Durham comments on the marketing of grown-up sexuality to little girls, the Miley Cyrus fiasco, and ways parents can open up the conversation with their daughters about images of girlhood sexuality.

Oh My G-d. Maybe I was having a blind date the other night that went well. Just saying, supposing. Maybe. Maybe we came back to my cute little flat after a drink or two. Maybe I put on a little Edith Piaf, and maybe I opened another bottle of wine. Maybe he was a tall latin boy with an MBA, who spoke fluent Italian. Maybe he tried to kiss me. And maybe I decided this was a good time to pull

It fit my budget then. I forgot all about it until this weekend. I paired it with a black cashmere sweater and polka dot bow tie...I think this is the best costume for the day. I have to

After reading the super hilarious and brutally honest AL's stimulating, and rather recent thread on the term "guybrarian", I started thinking of other

Who knows. But I can tell you what this librarian does. Fret. Yes my gentle readers, I fret - and I find myself doing it more and more of late. Not work related, I can tell you this is not a work related blog at all. If my job could love me back, I'd marry it. That is, if the gays could marry, which we can't. This librarian has finally figured out where everything in his apartment goes.
