Petal Pushing — with Shayla (and Milk)

Oui, Oui, Oui Goes AEE

Shayla LaVeaux[If you’ve been around here for any length of time at all, you know that we almost never provide editorial comments on titles. That said, if you’ve been around here for more than a small amount of time, you know that Steve ranks as our King of the Erudite, so sometimes we feel the need to comment slightly more often than we otherwise might. If you ever get the chance to ask Steve personally he’ll likely say something like “The Key lies in the Chi” – which pretty much sums up a conversation with Steve. In case you couldn’t tell, conventions are many, and to a great extent homogenous. Steve fits neither of those categories, which explains our affection for him. … More to the point for most of you today, you have been warned. Now on to some Petal Pushing with Shayla.]

A Price of Infamy

Bah-Bah Balcony … or

Porn Stars (and Radio Personalities) are People, Too!

by D.Minion

Lucky & ShaylaProducer of the Howard Stern Show, Gary Dell’Abate (also known as Baba Booey), told Howard on the air that he was going to join his town’s Board of Parks and Recreation. The job is a volunteer one, and Gary said that he wanted to give back to his community, especially since his two young sons regularly use the parks for their football and baseball games. [Also, it’s probably a good way to meet hot moms, but maybe I’m just being cynical.]

As a big believer in volunteer work, I was thrilled that Gary was going to use some of his free time to help his town. “To whom much is given, much is expected,” I always say. [And yet no one around here expects much of me. … HEY! … ]

Nooner

A Nooner to Write Home About

Nap Time — Perhaps

by D.Minion

risque imageWe had to be out of the office in two days, so Lucky asked me if I’d like to take Dee to The Nooner. He insisted it was because he could move heavy furniture and boxes more easily than I could, but I suspect it was so he could get rid of stuff without me there. [That may be, but she can’t prove a thing in a court of law.] I’m a bit sentimental, and the thought of throwing away ANYTHING with ANYONE I like on it is too much for me to take. I begged Lucky not to throw away anything with an autograph on it. “Right. Throw away stuff with autographs,” he smiled. “NOOOOOOOOO!” I said. He just smiled. Lucky’s a lot of things, but he’s not stupid! [Come to think of it, people have tried to prove that in a court of law. That didn’t work either.]

The Four

Finally “Fore” on The Four

We promised our good friends over at Adam & Eve that we would sneak in a mention here that if you know where to look, you can actually get your own copy of Michael Ninn’s The Four a full couple of months before it officially becomes available. … Not to be TOO sneaky about it, we decided to go with our usual tongue in cheek subtlety, so … um … LOOK HERE to take advantage of that chance. Honestly, this came as no major sacrifice, just so you know, because we like being nice to Adam & Eve. Who knows when we might need a fig leaf, after all?

If It Feels Good …

by Nobody Special

Renee Perez in The FourWe’ve mentioned quite a few times here that when it comes to product packaging design, our dear friend Michael Ninn could suffer from what we benevolently call “Artistic Paralysis” to some degree. Many times we have been in a position to look at work in progress on cover art, and it may surprise you to learn that almost that same number of times we have been confused by the decisions regarding text. It has become shorthand in conversation here to say simply, “I was more going for the look of it,” — which means basically, “Yeah, you can’t really read it, but gosh doesn’t the design of the text lines look great in support of the (vastly higher on the importance scale) photograph?”
