JON PRESSICK Who’d have thought that two of the hottest celebrities could be porn stars? Once (and still more often than not) the butt of jokes, the dirty movie duo of James Deen and Stoya are media darlings.

SAM SHARPE The holiday season is passed and I'm moving onward and forward into 2013. But before I fully explore my onward and forward-ness allow me to reflect on a few lessons learned over the course of the holly-daze.

It is better to give than to receive

I spent a lot of money during the holidays. I know I'm not the only one. Brothers. Sisters. Mom....

MS. BLUE In the lead up to World Aids Day (which happened on Saturday, December 1st – but you all knew that, right?), every time I tuned in to my fave radio station, CBC Radio 1, I was inundated with new stories on the state of the HIV/AIDS epidemic here in Canada and around the globe. As a result I heard various perspectives on the issue from grassroots activists, health experts representing national organizations...

ELIZABETH ROSE In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite. - Paul Dirac I’m a big fan of science, and find myself flicking through various Pop Science journals and avidly glued to occasional documentaries exploring the universe through the latest scientific theories.

MS. BLUE This edition of Secrets From The Goody Drawer is going to be a little bit newsy (apologies to our resident sex news hound Jon!), as there are so many things that have happened over the last few weeks that I've wanted to talk about but haven't had a chance to.

MS. BLUE Alright y’all. Today I’m not going to fight it. As I have been bestowed the honour(?) of writing what will be our Valentine’s Day post this year, I’m going to refrain from penning a “I’m so anti the conspicuous consumption this supposed holiday promotes” post.  Instead, I’m going to run through as short list of some rather sexy items that I L-OV-E: ones the Valentine’s Day gifting and receiving set just might be interested in…
