The Dominatrix Question
I’m a big fan of the “Real Housewives” franchise, fashion icon Jenna Lyons, and superchick Julia Fox, so when Bravo mastermind Andy Cohen posted a call on Twitter asking for questions that would be posed to Jenna and / or Julia on an upcoming episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” I shared a question I had for Julia about the time she spent working as a dominatrix. Find out what I asked and what Julia said here.

I Read It for the Articles
I bought this Playboy the other day at a vintage store in Atwater Village on the east side of Los Angeles. I had been planning on mentioning this very issue (October 1979) in the novel I’m working on, which I refer to as “The Porn Novel,” and so when I saw it there, on the table, I thought it was a sign. What kind of sign? Who knows. Sometimes you just need to go with them. Anyway, I paid $15 for it, which is a little steep, because I probably could’ve got it online for a little less, or maybe not, who cares. Anyway, I tweeted about it after I bought it, saying that touching this used copy had gotten me pregnant, which was a joke, of course.

Home Is Where the History Isn't
“As a child, I was spied on (think: me, in an observation room with a researcher standing on the other side of a one-way mirror); as an adult, I became a spy (think: me, notebook in hand, observing a scene from the view from nowhere).” Read my latest Reverse Cowgirl newsletter here and don’t forget to subscribe.
