Lazy Summer

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012

Up a lazy river…that’s where we wish we were this hot August. But we’re settling for some air conditioning and baseball games and watching the Olympics.

Oh, those cute little hotties with their gymnastics feats. It’s great! We loved London’s welcome to the world in the opening ceremonies too.

How about those female weight-lifters? Yikes! This is what comes on the telly late at night. The oddball sports, we call them. Canoe slalom, dressage. We’ll probably watch some of that, the mincing horses—utterly enjoyable.

Tell us what you’re up to this summer!

Yours in good love and sex,

Nan & Christi

Spotlight On: Shar Rednour

Saturday, July 14th, 2012

It’s been really, really hot throughout most of the U.S. over the last month or so. Sticky, yucky hot, not sexy hot. The weather is finally breaking, and for that we’re grateful.

For sexy hot, we’ve been gathering our favorite images and playing on Pinterest. Which got us thinking that we should create a sort of corollary for a blog posting we did a little while back, “Butches We Love.”

Why not take a look at some femmes we love?

So here goes, introducing “Spotlight On.”

Shar Rednour by Smeeta Mahanti

Spotlight On:

Shar Rednour, Femme We Love

Shar Rednour is probably best known for her role as the director and head diva of S.I.R. Video, taking the helm and starring in some of the hottest, sexiest porn we’ve seen, including Hard Love and How to Fuck in High Heels.

She is also the author of the fabulous The Femme’s Guide to the Universe, now available as an e-book.

Femmes Guide to the UniverseHere’s a snip:

“As a child, I perfected the art of making my mom and aunts tell me stories. I now turned my craft onto Susie, Honey Lee, Nan and Debi….

“I wanted to know if Susie [Bright] had always been femme and, if so, had she been ostracized like I had. Did Debi [Sundahl] really teach all the Mitchell Brothers strippers to fist in latex gloves?

Had Honey Lee [Cottrell], a motorcycle-riding, crew-cut sporting bulldagger, ever guessed she’d be pushing a baby carriage through Noe Valley? Nan [Kinney] insisted that all 70s lesbians were not in overalls on communes but some were snorting coke on the dance floors just like the gay boys.

Oh my lovely lessons!”

Hard Love and How to Fuck in High Heels remains one of Fatale’s bestsellers. Ditto Sugar High Glitter City. Both of these were named “Best Lesbian Porn” by LesbianLife.About.com.

Talk to Me Baby with Shar on TopOn the nonfiction side of things, Talk to Me Baby is a how-to about talking dirty, and it’s really the best there is for exploring seductive bedroom talk.

Healing Sex: The Complete Guide to Sexual Wholeness, which Shar directed and  stars Staci Haines, takes a deep, healing look at trauma, abuse and betrayal.

Perhaps she is best-known for her direction of Bend Over Boyfriend and Bend Over Boyfriend 2. These groundbreaking, critically acclaimed videos changed—and charged—the conversation between men and women.

In the Spring

Friday, March 30th, 2012

Christi and Nan's apricot tree March 2012Easily a month earlier than usual, trees and flowers are blooming.

“In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.”

So wrote Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the great Victorian poet, in “Locksley Hall.”

Here are our favorite frolics to celebrate springtime, good for lovers, good for romance, good for hookups!

• Corny as it sounds, our favorite way to welcome spring is to take a walk. Hold hands. Sip an iced coffee along the way. Say hello to the neighbors…or not…

• Have lunch at the beach. Pretend it’s your first date.

• Talk to Me BabyNo beach in sight? Find a low-lit Italian place and talk dirty to each other. It’s even more fun during the day.

• Borrow a friend’s dungeon. Okay, everybody doesn’t have a friend with a dungeon. But making love in somebody else’s “crash pad” is terribly sexy. Bring your own toys.

• Single and randy? Pick up a girl. Hit your favorite bar or coffee shop, make contact and take her home. Indulge yourself in a one-night stand.

• Go dancing. All that heat and sweat and oozing energy feeds the libido like nothing else.

• Special Delivery Do yourself. To celebrate springtime, you have all the power in your hot little hand.

Don’t’ forget to post your sexy moments on Facebook. Fatale Media’s Facebook wall welcomes your posts too. Be coy. We love a tease!

Happy spring!

Yours in good love and sex,

Christi and Nan

Butches We Love

Friday, March 16th, 2012

The past week suddenly found us in a convergence of butches that was utterly fun and, for Christi, utterly glorious.

An e-mail came through saying, “Butch Sightings (@butchsightings) is now following you on Twitter.” Logging in to Twitter @FataleMedia, we returned the follow and proceeded to butchsightings.com. Whoa! Nice blog.

Started as an “social interactive art project” and written by a “fat queer sort-of Jewish white femme from the West Coast,” Butch Sightings was inspired by “butches & studs (females and/or women who appear masculine, queer, old school, dyke, bulldagger, aggressive [AG] and other terms to be added.”

The photos are great, and we hope one day this photographin’ femme comes to take a picture of Nan!

Nan Kinney and Kim Airs on the Big VibeHere’s a picture from last Saturday of Nan on the Big Vibe—with Big Vibe owner Kim Airs of Grand Opening playing the instigator. After this we headed to the beach, Paradise Cove in Malibu…heaven in springtime.

When We Were Outlaws by Jeanne CordovaSaturday evening found us at the beautiful home of Jeanne Cordova and Lynn H. Ballen in Los Angeles. It had been many years since Christi had seen them, and the first time Nan had met them. Jeanne is the author of the critically acclaimed When We Were Outlaws (Spinsters Ink, 2011), which we quite enjoyed. Here are some reviews of the book at Jeanne’s blog, This Lesbian Life.

It was a lovely weekend in Los Angeles. Next time we’ll plan a visit to Oakland to visit another exquisite butch, our friend Jackie Strano.

Yours in good love and sex,

Hard Love Starring Jackie StranoP.S. Jackie Strano is the star, with director and femme extraordinaire Shar Rednour, of  the sexy lesbian DVD Hard Love and How to Fuck in High Heels.

For the second month in a row, Hard Love and How to Fuck in High Heels–it’s a double DVD–has been Fatale’s #1 bestseller.

Sexy February

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

Was February ever this romantic and sexy? It feels like a thaw, some sort of easing of tension. Everything is relaxed suddenly. How did that happen?

We had a lovely Valentine’s Day – here’s our Valentine’s Day blog posting, short and sweet about how we celebrated.

Then we watched two new DVDs just in from France. Oooh-la-la. Nice. They’ll be available soon, and we’ll let you know as soon as they are. (Can’t wait? Here’s a French lesbian DVD to make you wet wet wet!)

We’re glad it’s a long weekend here in the U.S., to celebrate Presidents’ Day. We get to sleep in, relax some more, enjoy each other. Watch some more sexy movies!

Yours in good love and sex,

Nan & Christi

Q&A: Ask Fanny – How to Have an Orgasm

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

Deborah Sundahl Female Ejaculation ExpertG-spot expert Deborah Sundahl, a.k.a. Fanny Fatale, answers your questions about female ejaculation and the g-spot.

Dear Fanny,

I am 20 years old and have a girlfriend, but I can’t orgasm. She has been really good at helping me try, but I still can’t. I don’t like doing it myself either; it just doesn’t feel good.  I wish I could have an orgasm, but I don’t know what to do and feel I should reach out for some help now.

Renee

Dallas, TX

Dear Renee,

I suggest that you make a concerted effort to have your orgasm by yourself first, and give your partner a rest. It is hard on the relationship and a lot of work for the partner, without the reward or pleasure. Better to keep your relationship free of a hard burden that is mostly your affair anyway.

What to do? You can start with these three things:

1. Read this wonderful book on how to have an orgasm. Becoming Orgasmic by Julia Heiman and Joseph LoPiccolo–here’s the Powell’s Books link–takes you step by step through the elements of female orgasm and guides you to fitting sexuality into other areas of your life.

Betty Dodson and Carlin Ross2. Check out this new video, Betty Dodson’s Body Sex Workshop.

Betty Dodson is called the Mother of Masturbation because since the 1960s, she has been teaching women how to have an orgasm. Back then, very few woman had orgasms, and it was a feminist mission to change that sad fact. Now 83 years old, she is still going strong! Aided by her younger business partner, Carlin Ross, they just finished another video of Betty’s famous workshop teaching women to ejaculate. Enjoy and learn!

3. Lastly, ask yourself what is it about touching your body that bothers you? Breath and relax into the touch. Notice what keeps you from relaxing into the touch. Be very aware of what crosses your mind, or what images comes up. This is your issue. Take this and work with it, either through simple awareness that this is the problem, or perhaps the help of a therapist.  But first, read the book and watch the video!

Pleasure will be yours! Give yourself time and permission, that’s all.

Fanny

Female Ejaculation the WorkshopP.S. Check out Female Ejaculation the Workshop by Deborah Sundahl.

Watch three gorgeous women learn to stimulate the G-spot and achieve beautiful orgasms in a workshop setting.

 

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We began celebrating this weekend–staying in and making dinner, watching two Oscar-nominated movies. Romantic! Yesterday afternoon we went off to a beautiful Japanese spa nearby for a soothing, sexy hot tub, a private sauna and cold plunge.

Today, surprises! We’ll see what transpires for this Valentine’s Day.

P.S. The bestselling Valentine’s Day gift was Hard Love and How to Fuck in High Heels, a super-sexy vid to get you in the mood right away! Treat yourself!

5 Surefire Valentine’s Day Gifts

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Valentine’s Day gifts tend to have a predictable rhythm that nonetheless is tried and true, oftentimes expected and not at all dreary in that you can be creative, there’s some variation on the themes.

Chocolates? Yes! Flowers? Definitely!

In our experience, it’s what goes with the chocolates and flowers that can take Valentine’s Day from being just another gift-giving holiday to something special and memorable.

With that in mind, we offer five surefire Valentine’s Day gift ideas:

Where the Heart Is Special Delivery1.  Where the Heart Is. The most romantic of all Fatale’s gift sets, this 3-DVD set also has the worthwhile amateur Afterschool Special mixed in. Carolyn Caizzi’s lovely real-life couples come alive in the other videos included in this set. Free Priority Mail shipping in the U.S.

2. Butch/Femme Rules. This 3-DVD set is a mash-up of romance (Special Delivery by Carolyn Caizzi), classic Nina Hartley with the remarkable Miss Sharon Mitchell (Suburban Dykes) and pure lust (Hard Love and How to Fuck in High Heels by Shar Rednour). Free Priority Mail shipping in the U.S.

Talk to Me Baby3. Talk to Me Baby. For an under $30 gift, Shar Rednour’s Talk to Me Baby is perfect for gay or straight, queer or trans, male or female. Everybody should know how to talk dirty, and this is the definitive tape. First class shipping in the U.S. costs only $2.95.

Nostalgia4. Nostalgia. We were talking with an old friend and longtime Fatale Media customer the other day. He told us that his favorite  Courtney Trouble video was Nostalgia. We went back and watched it again and were once again simply delighted! This is an excellent video, a queer porn parody starring all manner of lesbians. Under $30, with domestic shipping starting at $2.95.

5. Sugar High Glitter City. If your sweetie has a sweet tooth, this is definitely the Valentine’s Day gift that will satisfy her yearnings. Nominated for Best Soundtrack, Best All-Girl Feature and Best All-Girl Sex Scene by AVN, this is one of our favorites by far. Another excellent under $30 gift with a reasonable ($2.95) domestic shipping fee.

See all Fatale’s DVDs for even more ideas.

Yours in good love and sex,
