Rachel Kramer Bussel has a sexy new anthology called Fast Girls
I named this book after a song called “Fast Girls” by an indie pop/rock band called Sarge*. That song is a feisty, punk-rock ode to a hot girl who is captivating in all kinds of ways.
I’m sure you know a girl like that. Or a woman. Or a lady. Or a butch. Or a femme. Or…you get the idea. She’s the kind of babe who takes no prisoners, who owns her life and her sexuality and not only doesn’t apologize for them, makes sure you notice her and what she’s all about.
You can hear Mia read one of the stories, Five-Minute Porn Star by Jacqueline Applebee, on one of my favorite podcasts: I Want Your Sex.

Everyone is invited on Saturday, July 31st for a four hour long Hands-On, Rope Bondage Intensive at Play House in Baltimore with Lolita Wolf. This Rope Intensive is Hands-On and limited to 12 people and will begin promptly at 1pm with a lunch break.
Rope Bondage Four Hour Intensive
There is nothing more classic than rope. It’s affordable, it doesn’t raise eyebrows when the TSA looks through your bags and it fits every body type. We will start with the absolute basics and go on from there. You will learn the ties that are the building blocks that will give you versatility for the bedroom or the dungeon. Rope offers endless possibilities. Prepare for a hands-on opportunity to tie and to be tied. Come with a partner or we will try to match singles up. Each person should bring two lengths of 30 foot rope.
Our four hour gathering will include a break for pizza and soda, which is included in the workshop price.
Saturday’s Rope Intensive Details:
$50 per person, includes lunch & beverages, class size is strictly limited so RSVP early, start time is 1pm
Parking is available in an attached parking garage for $5 per car – please arrive before 1pm if you want to park inside.
