When Pillhead IM’d me a couple of days ago to ask for a comment for her fabulous piece (no pun intended), it got me thinking about that idiot guy and his fascination/obsession with anal sex. To a degree, no matter how much women will dish on vaginal intercourse and cunnilingus, there are very few of women that are willing to go on record about what they like about (and how to have fulfilling) anal sex. Which is why, when I need to get information on the subject, I have to either get my girlfriends really, really drunk or ask a gay friend — which always goes ever so well. Their thoughts, and a poll, are after the jump.

Because, I have to confess, I am an ass-virgin. I haven’t ever had a long-term relationship with someone experienced in the art of anal pleasure (at least, I’m reliably told it can be pleasurable) and the one guy I dated who expressed an particular interest tried the timeworn tactic of telling me that I’d like it “once I got used to it” and then insulted me to try to change my mind. My response to that was that if I could have pleasurable sex or painful/uncomfortable sex until I got “used to it,” I was pretty well going to opt for “pleasurable” every time, thanks. He thought I was selfish, I thought he was an ass-obsessed pig, and things didn’t work out.

Glamour held a book party for columnist and famous widow Mariane Pearl, whose Wall Street Journal-reporter husband was abducted and beheaded by terrorists who taped the whole thing in 2002, last night. No photographers were allowed, so instead of fumbling around frantically writing down the names of people Nikola was shooting I was free to talk amongst the approximately 47 media clusterfuck types present and get drunk. This was nice, because my “soul” has gotten a little weary from constantly mocking Glamour and also, because I wrote a post once about how Mariane Pearl is an unfortunately bad writer I had flattered myself into maybe thinking she had read it. But before I could find my designated media cluster, I noticed three women in flowing garments that did not appear to have been purchased at H&M and/or Saks. I assumed that they were friends of Mariane, who has made it her business since her husband’s gruesome murder to try and publicize women in other countries with even more tragic life stories they have overcome to nevertheless Make A Difference, etc. “Where are you from?” I asked one. “Cambodia,” she replied.

“Really? Did you grow up there?” I asked. “My friend used to live there and he said he had to leave because it was too depressing, even the NGO workers were fucking 12-year-olds.”

Stella McCartney: Lover of animals, of macrobiotic eating, of pineapple print bathing suits… And wrecking other people’s lives? So says Heather Mills, who, as you can’t avoid hearing about, is going through, like, the worst divorce ever with Stella’s dad, former Beatle Paul McCartney. Claims Mills, “Every single week Stella tried to break up our marriage. She was so jealous…. Stella wasn’t interested in her dad’s happiness. I can’t protect her any longer… She’s done some evil, evil things… We found out she scraped my face out a photo when they were in psychiatric session together”. Well, that doesn’t sound very earthy crunchy hippie holistic, now does it?!

As you may have noticed Barneys Girl and I haven’t blogged a lot about fashion trends recently. Mostly, it’s because we haven’t been particularly inspired. Doesn’t it seem like you can wear last FW’s clothes and still seem fashionable this season? There is one trend that we have been loving from last season and it continues this season -the ankle boots.

I’m not a particularly exciting person and I like to know that I can use my expensive shoes (my so-called investment items,) over and over again, so after searching for two seasons, I finally found my perfect pair of boots. I love the shape and the leather is so gorgeous. They’re comfortable too (-Prada). Obviously they would be more practical if they weren’t so high-heeled, but I guess it’s time I learn how to walk in high heels!
The other pair that I am loving this season are these Aldo boots (right). They look suspiciously like the pair of Louboutins (left) I was drooling over last FW. I love the Aldo pair so much that I’ve tried them on in LA and Chicago, but I didn’t get them because I had already bought the first pair by then. They are so easy to put on, plus they cost only 100usd!
While browsing on the Aldo website I noticed this pair of boots. I realise that not everyone has adapted to the recent round-toe shoe trend, so this is for those who still like pointy shoes.
Meet this year’s Louboutins, the Metallika. It looks like leather wrapped artistically around feet!
These Gucci boots are such stylish winter boots. (I feel warm and fuzzy and stylish just by looking at them!) I’m not a big fan of suede (esp since it rains so much in London,) but this brown is such a fantastic shade.
Even though I don’t like that the zippers are in the front of these KG boots, I like the shape of the toe area. You see the way it hooks up? It reminds me of this season’s Stella McCartney pumps that I’ve been staring at over at Net-a-Porter.
And finally, this season’s major trend -patent leather. Shiny, patent leather risks the possiblity of looking tacky, but this pair is just classy. Sigh, isn’t this pair of Miu Miu so gorgeous?These basic boots are perfect for almost all outfits. They can go with jeans, pants and even mini-dresses/ skirts, so they’re a must-buy for this season, (that is if you didn’t buy a pair last season!)Image credits: www.net-a-porter.com, www.aldoshoes.com, www.kurtgeiger.com, www.saksfifthavenue.com

I love products that are multi-purpose. I highly recommend that every household should have Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure Castille Soap. The Hemp Almond smells heavenly and works into the creamiest lather. I use it as a body wash and on my son who has sensitive skin. Dilute it with some water and it makes a great hand wash. You can use the peppermint for household cleaning. Drop 2 tablespoons in a gallon of water. Add two cups of distilled white vinegar and you have the perfect all purpose cleaner. What could possibly be better than a soap that can give you soft, clean skin and clean your tub?

 The ingredients are simple and natural. It’s vegan and now packaged in 100% post- consumer recycled bottles. It lists many more uses than I have tried, it really is amazing. I’m curious to see what this soap can’t do. Plus the completely bizarre text on the bottle is not to be overlooked, it is quite entertaining.

It’s Friday, and time to congratulate yourselves for getting through another week! After all the horrifying Halloween hijinks, we weren’t sure we’d make it. Actually, we knew we’d be fine, cuz we’re strong like that. But as always, none of this would be possible without our generous sponsors. We’d like to thank Bravo, Current TV, Project Runway and Uwishunu.com. And hey, don’t forget to fall back! Interested in sponsoring the timeless power o’ Jezebel? Click here.
