...Martin: There IS an aspiration to femininity. Tantric sex is fantasic, but it?s also feminizing when it?s done according to plan: looking into each other?s eyes, etc. It?s like equalizing. And I don?t think that?s what men or women want...
...Troll toys - you know, those goofy-looking little creatures with scrunched up noses, fiery flourescent hair and jewels in their bellies. Trolls used to have a corner on every kid's shelf; there were troll couples, troll cities, football trolls, ballerina trolls, Christmas trolls, trolls on wheels, etc. And though Trolls haven't been a trend-o-rama since the 70s, they suddenly disappeared entirely from children's toy chests about four years ago.

I wonder, does the library inform...

Who wants five-star service when you can get prodded, insulted and booted out? DJ Slapdash tells me that one of the Chinese restaurants to go to in London's Chinatown is Wong Kei, perhaps the rudest restaurant you'll ever see. Here's what to expect when you walk through the glass...
