Sometimes you happen across a story that`s so timely you`d thing your guardian angel placed it there for you to find. But on Halloween of course it`s a big black guardian angel with fangs and pointy claws. Mwahahahaha! I`m quite happy on the eve of all hallows to accept this explanation of how I came across “Repo – The Genetic Opera”.

It was dark when I got home and the campanologists in the Church across the valley were practicing, or were they trying to push back the demon hoards and their Trick Or treating minions milling about in their point hats and funky wigs? Whatever. It put me in just the right mood for writing about Repo. Or is it Repo! I`m sure the exclamation mark is important.

Repo started life as a stage production in 2002 penned by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich. I have to admit my ignorance of their output. Apparently they blend performance art, music and theatre to produce their work, including Repo.

Originally Repo was a ten minute short opera called “The Necro-merchant`s Debt”. Smith and Zdunich produced the show in 2002 at the John Raitt Theatre in Hollywood, then again in 2004 at The SplitID Theatre, both productions were sell-outs. You can see elements of the stage show here. As I understand it the plot is superficially simple … In the not so distant future a pandemic of unprecedented proportions is causing the population`s organs to fail. Which is not a problem if you can afford a transplant. Unfortunately organs are so expensive they have to be leased and if you don`t keep up the payments the leasing company said the Repo Man to extract them … by any means necessary.

Wind forward to January 07 and the pair wheeled out a short film to entice a production company into producing a full length feature. And it worked. The full movie “Repo – The Genetic Opera” is in production and will be released next year in the US on 25 April 2008.

The film`s director is Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II and Saw III), which will give you a feel for the character of the production. Bousman`s style should suit this story down to the ground.

Three names that jump out at you from the cast list for good or ill are Paris Hilton “Pledge This” (2006), “Hottie and Nottie” (2008) and that awful “leaked” sex tape. Anthony Head “MacBeth” (2007), Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Little Britain. Sarah Brightman The Phantom of the Opera, the UK hit single “(I lost my heart to a) Starship Trooper” (If you don`t remember that track you can see it here, then you`ll wish you could forget it all over again Though this version is mixed with the movie “Starhip Troupers”, which actually improves it).

It`s a pity that the original players from the stage version have been replaced by the big names. Blind Mag, originally played by Annie Lee Moffett is now Brightman. Tony Perry`s Repo Man is now Anthony Head. Heather Sweet becomes Amber Sweet and turns from a pretty young actress from Manilla Marie-France Arcilla into, well, Paris Hilton. Maybe it had something to do with raising the finance for the feature film version?

I think the movie is destined to be a classic, maybe for all the wrong reasons, but a classic nonetheless. You have to recognise, just from the trailer the debt the production owes to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Hellraiser and Saw (via Darren Lynn Bousman). The Bondage and BDSM imagery is distinct, if not exactly original.

You can see the official trailer for Repo here. 

Or, if you want something light, fluffy and well worn out, here`s Heff at the Halloween party at the Playboy Mansion. Not that Heff`s worn out, the fact that he still holds these promo parties at this age is so lame now. If I were him I`d just let someone else get on with running the company lock all the bunnies in the mansion with him and spend the rest of his life in one huge love-in.

The classic 1976 poster of Fiona Butler is back. And this time it`s a limited edition.

If you were around in the summer of 1976 you`ll know that the UK got hot, bloody hot. Temperatures rose, reservoirs emptied and there were stand pipes in the streets. Then on a tennis court in Edgbaston in Birmingham Martin Elliot made things just a little hotter.

With some borrowed tennis whites and his then girlfriend Fiona Butler as his model he put a roll of Kodak film in his camera and took the photograph that ended up on two million posters. The image first appeared in a 1977 calendar, but the image really caught the public`s eye when Athena bought the rights to use the image 1978. Elliot was shrewd enough to retain the copyright, while re-licensing to them on an annual basis starting in. So when Athena went into receivership in 1994 the poster disappeared from sale. Elliot chose not to re-licence the image and apart from the usual car boot rip-offs it`s been unavailable ever since.

The image itself has, some would say, a certain innocence about it. OK, so she`s not wearing any knickers, but it`s suggestive rather than explicit, teasing rather than pornographic. Personally I like the image for all sorts of reasons, not least because Fiona has downy rather than perfectly smooth waxed legs. But the primary reason is I suspect that as I was a little young for the poster at the time of its first publication. I therefore wasn`t allowed to buy one and put it on my bedroom wall, whereas some of my older friends were. Damn, all that pubescent longing.

A number of celebs are fans too from Ricky Gervaise to Charlton Heston, who apparently has a framed copy on the wall of his LA tennis court. It`s easy to see why. The image has been described as timeless and iconic, and it is both.

Well now I have the chance to own the image again. The print run, limited to 1850 copies, will retail for £300. Expect to see them on Ebay soon. I just checked and originals are selling for around £90 (GBP). Who knows what signed limited edition prints will sell for.

If you want one of the 1850 you should visit Pyramid Posters.

Better still, if you would like to give away one of the posters as a competition prize you can get one (in exchange for branded editorial space) from Bonnie Turner at Publicasity +44 (0) 1442 261199. Be quick as there are only ten available.

It`s no longer a cloak and dagger affair to buy all but the most explicit adult magazines. You can buy Nuts, Zoo et al from the newsagents without even a second look from most of the other customers. OK, so if you opt for Penthouse or Mayfair you`ll have to be a little more circumspect but for the most part it`s easier to purchase printed “artistic” material of an adult nature than its ever been.

What`s surprising is that SHM (not FHM, I`m sure the similarity in naming was purely unintentional, LOL), would sit alongside Zoo and Nuts and from its outer cover look rather tame (and tasetful) in comparison. Until you open it …

S H Magazine is produced and published by swingingheaven.co.uk. The issue I`m reviewing here is issue 3. For the cover price of £4.99 I expected to find a magazine full of advertisements. Yes there are ads, but they are at a far lower level than I expected and all of them are relevant to the intended readership. It`s a refreshing change to find an adult publication whose rear pages in particular are not peppered with tacky small ads for premium rate phone lines.

So after that pleasant surprise, on to the content. Because the magazine is aimed at those in the swinging lifestyle the majority of the articles are written with those readers in mind. Luckily that doesn`t mean that non-swingers can`t enjoy them as the style is friendly, though occasionally slightly parochial in an endearing sort of way. This isn`t a criticism, it actually gives the magazine more character than I would have imagined (my preconceptions again), and makes it much easier to read.

The articles in issue 3 included reviews of swingers clubs, sex toys and erotic fiction (books). There`s a section on adult DVDs too, both 18 certificate and R18, and because this issue was published just prior to the Adults Only Show and The Xpo at the Barbican it has floor plans and visitors guides for those events too. Very thoughtful.

The articles also cover breast augmentation, BDSM, swinging solo and trans-gender issues, so as you can see this aims to be an inclusive and informative publication.

The last few pages contain a readers forum and “Readers` Pics”. The latter had me worried for a moment, as there are certain UK adult publications who insist on publishing “Readers` Wives” pictures of a rather variable quality. SHM however either exercises prudent quality control on the images or has a very hot looking readership *evil grin*.

So, would I pay £4.99 for SHM? Quite definitely, assuming that subsequent issues are of the same quality as issue 3. It`s an interesting read even for non-swingers and deserves every success

While wandering around the Adults Only Show in Birmingham we actually passed up the chance to interview one of the most famous and best loved porn stars in the UK adult film industry, Cathy Barry.

It`s odd, we were hyped up and ready to extract a story from everyone and anyone who could provide us with a new angle. So why did we miss the opportunity? Well quite honestly because she is such a nice person.

I spotted Cathy on the Pumpkin Productions stand and elbowed Suze with a sideways “I told you she`d be here” from the corner of my mouth. As we`d been wandering around for a bit and were really in the swing of this journo lark I marched up to her and greeted her with a firm handshake and a “Pleased to meet you.”

We`ve been fans of Cathy for a while, not specifically because of her porn movies, but because of her personality. She appeared a while back on the “Men and Motors” satellite channel on her show “Cathy`s World of Big Boobs” (with Teressa May), not the most imaginative title I`ll grant you but the show had a friendly honest feel to it, not your over-polished and therefore fake looking LA style production.

So, we spent a few minutes chatting, I took the image you can see here and suggested she get Phil, her husband, to get her back on the small screen doing another series. Well, we can only hope.

She really is the sort of person you`d want to go out for a drink with, and I think if we`d asked her she would probably have popped out for a quick one too. Drink that is.

And in case you aren’t familiar with Cathy, here’s a few out-takes that illustrate what a fun girl she is.

“Sexuality is as explosive or spicy as Lucrezia Borgia. Hence the title. It is socially juggled, sometimes avoided but definitely viewed and absorbed. Human sexuality ruffled feathers when it debuted in mainstream society at the time of Freud, and it still manages to ruffle a few feathers in the new millennium.” On Lucrezia, Lucrezia Magazine Official Blog, 23 October 2007 (www.lucreziamagazineblog.com)

It`s amazing how jaded one can get in this high speed world of information and expression that the Web provides for us. It`s easy to think you`ve seen it all before and despair at finding something fresh out there. So we hope that we`ve found something new for you in the shape of Lucrezia Magazine.

The site is only just taking shape but having visited it a few times over the past couple of weeks we can tell you it`s evolving fast and looks like it means business. Browse the site for yourself and see what we mean.

So, if you have an erotic story to tell, an opinion to express or a fantasy to explore perhaps you should submit it to Lucrezia Magazine, here.

In case you were wondering the image is from AOS in Birmingham, and yes it was that much fun.

Richard Larsen is a goldsmith and designer of jewellery with twenty years experience. Originally from South Africa, he`s now resident in the UK and in addition to his more conventional designs has been devising and manufacturing a range of fetish jewellery for nine years.

We met at the 2007 Adults Only Show in Birmingham, where his origins in the southern hemisphere were betrayed by a soft twang in his voice. I asked him at one point if he missed South Africa.

“I miss the thunderstorms!” He replied, “I grew up on a 1600 acre sugar plantation, in a house with a steel roof. You could hear the storms starting in the distance and rolling towards you.” His face lit up as he described what I have to agree is one of nature`s greatest sensory gifts to us, a damn good storm.

Richard`s enthusiasm for the spectacle of the African weather is matched by his passion for design, ingenuity and attention to quality that he applies to his creations. His range of designs is extensive, just take a look at his website to see what I mean. And if you don`t see something to your taste or that meets your requirements you can have a custom piece of Richard Larsen Jewellery made to your specifications.

Richard`s passion for quality can be seen when you get up-close to his pieces, they are beautifully finished at his own workshops. “We create the designs, have them cast, then finish every one ourselves, by hand.” he explained.

On his site Richard gives advice on the care of jewellery and explains how he tries to reduce the use of chemicals in the production/finishing process. Being a responsible businessman he also ensures that his stones are ethically sourced.

Here are a few images of the Richard Larsen range, see his site for the rest. I for one have never seen such imaginative penis jewellery executed with such skill.

Richard`s a regular at SWAMP In Bristol and Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar, he`s also at Mainson De Sade later this month and at Erotica Olympia in November. See the events page on Richard Larsen Jewellery site for more details.

You can only by Richard Larsen Jewellery from Richard Larsen, so you`ll have to catch him at one of the listed events or buy via his online store.

No I Didn`t Say Womans Own!  I Said Womanzone The Feminine Pleasure Gel.

 Just to explain to our non UK readers before I get started, Woman`s Own is a weekly magazine featuring the less feisty copy.  One that your mum may enjoy reading and can read in public without embarrassment.  That kind of magazine.  Coffee table literature.  Right, that said on with my feature.  Lol

On our recent visit to the Adults Only Show I visited the ID Lube stand to check out their latest products and found this little gem.  I was looking at the various lubes displayed when this gorgeous petite brunette with come to bed eyes approached me. (Editors note, you really can`t take Suze anywhere )

I explained that Alex and I were looking around for news articles for our latest venture in the adult entertainment world, A-Rouse.  The girl was more than helpful showing us the latest warming lubes and silicone based ones for water play.    When she remembered Womanzone feminine pleasure gel.

We took some away promising to test and review it here.  I do wish she could have come back to be tested by me too!  Alex was keen on the idea of a threesome too.  I`m not sure who is the naughtiest out of us both.  Lol  (Editor`s note, I give up with her…)

Tonight I decided to give it a try.  It was created to be used by the woman who has a lack of sexual desire, for whatever reason.  There could be a lack of libido, or sensation and this gel promises to increase sexual pleasure and heighten libido.  Neither of these conditions affect me but I wanted to test it out for those women out there who need a little help.

I read the packet and then disappeared off to the bedroom and removed my clothing replacing it with a short see through red negligé.  Alex loves red and this one has a plunge bra top so my boobs burst out of it, full and plump.  He loves that too.  Once changed I shouted for Alex to assist me.

He appeared in the bedroom doorway wearing nothing other than his black lycra (clingy, yes very, very clingy) boxer shorts.  Gulp!  It seemed he had been preparing himself too.    A nice firm bulge was already showing in the front of his shorts.

I asked him to apply the gel to the underside of my clit as directed on the box.  It advised to use a pearl sized blob of the gel but I wanted to see how I reacted first, after all I don`t just smear anything on to my little pink nub without trying a little first. 

Alex squoze a small blob on to the top of his index finger.  I was surprised that it came out looking purple, one of my favourite colours.  I lay back on the bed and parted my legs in readiness for him.

He parted my labia and sparingly he applied the gel to the underside of my clit.  And WOW!  The gel started to work immediately.  It felt cool when first applied but then started to tingle.  The sensation grew, one of having a very strong mint toothpaste coat your clit, coupled with a zing which almost felt like a gentle vibe on my swollen pink bud.

I described the sensation to Alex who was now reclining and rubbing his cock through his tight boxers.  The tingling, cool sensation was growing stronger by the minute and I found myself crossing my legs, pushing my pussy lips together and trapping my stimulated clit.  I started to rub my thinghs together as the tingling increased in intensity.

Alex was now standing proud in his shorts and his cock was fighting to be set free from the confines of his underwear.  I was also ready to be fucked.  He parted my crossed legs and eased between them, taking my legs high in to the air.  The cool rush of fresh air further heightened the sensation now taking place between my legs.

Now with my ankles resting on his shoulders he pushed his cock in to me through his open fly.  I squirmed beneath him as he plunged my depths.  He slowly withdrew almost completely and then rammed himself home again.  I reached down and gently took hold of his hips as he built up speed.

My clit was now alive and he was pounding and pounding in to me.  I couldn`t hold back, my first orgasm took me over.  I plunged in to a deep sense of satisfaction and release and then started to come back up again, as I did so I became aware once more of that wonderful cool tingling, it felt like someone was holding a clit vibe on me.

Alex continued to fuck me like a mad man and eventually reached his peak, withdrew his cock from me.  With head tilted towards the ceiling he began to gently stroke his cock, I watched in eager anticipation as he opened and began to spurt thick white cum on to my stomach.

The combination of the gel, visuals and orgasm were very intense and I should imagine if you applied the recommended amount it would be too intense for me but for someone with lowered sensitivity it would probably be very beneficial.  And for the ladies who like very intense sensation and enjoy topical stimulation in their most sensitive areas, I would imagine that slightly more would blow your minds. 

So for just £14.99 you can experience the best of clitoral pleasures at here. Have fun…

I was immediately drawn to the Tingle Tip stand at the Adults Only Show in Birmingham recently. The poster on the back wall gave me a hint of what I was going to find there.  It was a large image of an electric toothbrush head.

Now we have all heard the stories about women who got off using their electric toothbrush for stimulation.  And I must say that I never subscribed to that.  After all, wouldn`t the bristles scour your clitoris or labia.  No, it never quite sounded credible to me.

So I made my way over with Alex to the stand and behind the counter stood the most pleasant and unassuming couple.  You wouldn`t have believed that this couple had designed and created this miracle in womanly pleasures.  And there before me stood Mr and Mrs Tingletip themselves.

They were very charming and helpful and only too keen to let me have a free sample of the Tingletip to take me and review.  I was eager to get back home and give it a try to see if all the hype about this discreet vibrator was true.  I regretted not having taken my electric toothbrush with me at the hotel. 

The Tingletip comes with a very nice suedette pouch in black with purple ribbon drawstring.  A nice touch.  You can purchase your Tingletip here .  It looks exactly like a toothbrush head for the Oral B range except that it doesn`t have any bristles for obvious reasons.  Ouch!

You could quite easily take this with you in your handbag or even in your luggage if you were going on holiday without anyone batting an eye.  I have already got my story ready if I should be discovered with this in my handbag.  I`ll tell them it is a gum massager for my toothbrush.  We all know the dentist advises you should massage your gums regularly to keep them healthy. 

I decided that I would broaden my usage of this little gem and use it to stimulate my nipples.  I`ve lots of toys but none that can be applied to the nipple so directly so I thought I would give it a try.

Alex and I lay back in bed totally naked.  I fitted the head to my toothbrush and turned it on.  To my surprise and delight the power was amazing.  Alex settled in beside me, he loves to watch me masturbate just as much as I do him.

Gently I lowered the vibrating head on to my semi erect nipple and immediately it responded and started to harden and grow.  It felt wonderful, the vibrations were rippling down through my nipple and into my breast.  I really can`t express just how powerful this toy is.

After a few minutes I moved it over to my left nipple and got immediate results, the vibrations were firing my nerve endings and I couldn`t wait to place it between my legs.  When I use my clit vibe it normally takes anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes for me to reach orgasm.  Manually it can take as long as 20 minutes.  So Alex rested up on his left arm and watched in anticipation as I parted my legs in readiness.

I took the water based lube from my bedside drawer.  Always prepared…that`s me!  I squeezed a blob on to my finger and ran it over my eager clitoris.  It was cold and I jumped slightly as I applied it.  I was now ready and the anticipation was overwhelming me.  I get so excited at the prospect of trying new toys. 

As soon as I applied the tip to my clit my body was overcome with pleasure.  My synapses were firing at a rate of knots as the strong waves of vibration rippled through my hard pink nub.  “Jesus!”, I cried out.  Alex suddenly perked up and moved in closer to watch me.

The initial sensation was one of strong vibrations and tingling.  Then came the urge to giggle, it then felt tickly.  I did giggle.  Then OMG!  Before I had any chance to compose myself my orgasm hit like a tidal wave without warning and my upper body raised from the bed as I screamed out with delight.  Yes, I did say scream out…it`s the first time that I have been out of control like that.  I`m not sure what I shouted I think it was “bloody hell!”, that`s the Yorkshire lass coming out of me.  My eyes must have been popping out of my head with surprise because that is exactly how it took me, without warning.

Alex started to laugh next to me, he couldn`t believe just how quickly I had achieved orgasm.

I came fast.  It must have only been a matter of seconds, certainly under a minute and I was a quivering wreck, spent and very, very happy.  This is a personal best for me I have never come so quickly in all my life.  It`s unbelievable that this apparently insignificant little toy could deliver such a wealth of pleasure and I thought I was an expert at this testing business now.    All that enjoyment for just £11.99, you just have to try it for yourselves.

This toy is coming to work with me next week.

Contrary to what you might think I am quite a conventional sort of guy. You wouldn`t think it from our blog, AlexSuze.com, but I can be very reserved. Despite our openness online real life demands a certain amount of discretion when talking about certain aspects of your life (i.e. having adult websites), to avoid embarrassment, awkwardness and detrimental impact it might have on your real life job.

Which is why I found walking around the Adults Only Show last Friday a simultaneously refreshing new, yet quite familiar. It was like wandering around the adult online world, where people are more candid about sex, but actually being able to meet people face-to-face. Or face to other parts of the anatomy.

It`s really whetted our appetite and if we could afford to we’d be off to Erotica at Olympia in London. 43 days to get some cash together and create another plausible excuse to take a couple of days off work. I don’t mean that we skive off, just that the obvious question gets asked “Off on holiday?” – “Yes short break” – “Where too?” – “Here and there …” people will get suspicious.

We’ve still got a lot of material in production for this site, and will begin publishing it shortly, but until then here are a few images we took at the show.

And if you want to link to us the link code is on the sidebar for a graphical link (you don’t have to host the image), or you could just blogroll http://a-rouse.com.

Well Alex and I have just returned from a wonderful day and night in the metropolitan city of Birmingham. And what a lovely cultural place it is too, although we didn`t get to see much of it from inside the NIA. We went down to attend the Adults Only Show, I`ve never been to one before, it was fantastic!

I`ve just unpacked the luggage and made a cuppa, now I`m sitting here eager to tell you what we have been up to. You know Alex and I never sit still for long and if it`s kinky we will try to be there. Up until now just in spirit, but yesterday we were really there.

We didn`t come back empty handed either, I just emptied the contents of one of the carrier bags of goodies we brought back and here are some of contents:

• A product from the ID Lubes stand which they would like me review
• Some sample lubes
• Loads of porn sample CD`s
• A new vibe to try and review
• Magazines galore
• A pair of complementary slippers and bathroom freebies from the hotel (I don`t know why but I always have to bring this stuff home just because it is free. )
• Lots of contacts, and some pics which we will be sharing with you over the coming days
• And last but not least an electric pump for our Cupids Couch (I`ll give you the full story later) so Alex won`t be out of breath every time he pumps it up!

I will fill you in on the details of the show later, I`m still recovering after being on my feet all day yesterday wandering around the stands and making ourselves known to all those wonderful sexy people. And I must say they were all very friendly and helpful.

The venue was large and well laid out but it was a shame that more stands did not decide to show as there was still a lot of available floor space. But despite that, there was plenty to look at and not just on the stands.

When we left at 6.30pm we were exhausted and made our way up to the main street to find somewhere to eat. As we walked out we ripped off our plastic wristbands as they were emblazoned with the name of the show. Not a good idea to broadcast that you are in to SEX! To the general public.

Without recommendation it is difficult to find a good eatery but we fell lucky yesterday. I found the most wonderful Italian café which was owned and run by an Italian family.

The food was delicious and very reasonably priced, so we stuffed ourselves and then went in search of an off-license to purchase a couple of bottles of red to take back to the hotel. We may have splashed out on the accommodation but we aren`t daft enough to pay hotel prices for liquor. That`s the Yorkshire genes in us. Lol

With a couple of bottles of Hardy`s Shiraz Cabernet we headed back to our hotel which was only a few hundred yards away. We got in the lift to floor 18 and a night of high “rise” fucking and debauchery. I know you want the details but they will follow shortly when I have sorted out the mundane including the cat.

Watch this space for more naughtiness from Birmingham, I don`t think they will be forgetting us in a hurry.
