O, so now Sasha Grey is a "model"?
Or is that a new euphemism for "porn star"?

sometimes -- i see two dashes with a space each--and sometimes there are no spaces -- but 'plain text' (such as this comment) cannot convert two dashes into an em dash the way it can in word. i do not know the html code for an em dash and cannot make that happen.

I've always said that if your blog needs one thing, it's nudity.

Good job.

If you also include words on your blog like "pussy" and "titty fuck," you will get hits.

If American Apparel made porn, it wouldn't be depressing. It would make hipsters everywhere try to actualize it as a goal.

oh i was actually referring to the sasha grey link that zachary german posted--and the title of this blog. i was trying to be clever. mission failure.

it must be cold in the room for her tits to be hard,
they are almost poky but not in a stab-y thorn bush way.
they might be gentle,
they might make me want to buy American apparel pants.
they might make me want to click on the photo.
it took me to the website.
i could buy them if i wanted to from your site.

I hate American Apparel. I am going to go home and microwave my Sasha Grey dvd because she is in that ad. I'm bored of her anyway. She....sucks.
