Reverse Cowgirl
I can't think of anything to
type here but you should know this story has to do with the Reverse
Cowgirl aka Susannah Breslin who is tall

 I've
always been really obnoxiously bad at writing reviews, so the thinking
here is I need to scrap the whole "website review" idea
and sort of just blab on about whatever website I feel like blabbing
on about.
Since I've been referenced on Susannah Breslin's Reverse
Cowgirl blog three times in the past week, it seems
as though maybe I should talk about that one this time.
Susannah Breslin is a pornographic priestess/writer/photographer/blogger
living out in LA. I don't know what a pornographic priestess is,
and I can't ask John Lennon because he's dead and stuff. But it
kind of fits. You know, sort of.
She has written for Salon, Details, Nerve, LA Weekly,
Exquisite Corpse, Harper's Bazaar, and of course Identity
Theory. You might have caught her on Bill Maher's Politically
Incorrect, Fox News, CNN, or, most likely, The E! True Hollywood
Story for Larry Flynt. She also does reporting for Playboy's Sexcetera.
So like, Susannah has this blog, the Reverse Cowgirl
(you gathered that), where she writes about porn and occasionally
other things, like sex. If you typed "bukkake" into a
search engine and didn't end up at Identity Theory, you probably
got her blog instead.
The Reverse Cowgirl is the most popular blog on Salon,
receiving about 3000 hits a day (at least that's how many it got
yesterday)--and nearly 400,000 since July 2002. It is a pretty sweet
mixture of Susannah's very stylish writing and photography and a
healthy dose of smut. For a blog about porn, there is actually very
little nudity.
Being the pioneering sort, Susannah comes up with
random cool ways to keep the blogosphere revolution in the news.
She is doing for blogs what Dennis Miller did for Monday Night Football.
Wait, no.
 She
is heading an event taking place in Los Angeles on February 15th
called "Live from the Blogosphere!" It is going down in
Chinatown, so if you're out in LA, you should stop by and maybe
there will be free porn. I mean, food.
"Live from the Blogosphere" is a panel on
blogging. The six panelists are Susannah, Doc Searls, and four people
I had not heard of but who are probably kind of interesting. You
can click in the picture and get more info. It's going to be pretty
good I think.
The last I heard, Susannah is developing a TV pilot
for MTV Networks based on her blog. I happen to think this is a
good idea, so I wrote a letter
to Comedy Central demanding that they take on the project. I
kind of think a better idea would be to do a show kind of like the
Real World, where the people who live in the house all have fairly
popular and different auteur-type websites. Put Susannah, that Maddox
guy, me, and like, I don't know, a few other people under one roof
and see what happens when cyber people start getting real. We can
invite Birnbaum, and he can do interviews in the house. Hey, you
know, I think that's a really good idea. Go me! It could be produced
by Kato Kaelin. He needs
a job.
Occasionally Susannah finds it in her heart to mention
me and/or Identity Theory on her blog. I'm here to tell you, nothing
quite equals the satisfaction of having your name on the same page
as a baby
Jesus buttplug.
Anyway, that's all I have to say about TRC for now.
Actually, I should also point out that the graphics and design on
her site are pretty tight. They are the work of one Chris
Bishop.
In closing, here is some of the stuff Susannah did
on Identity Theory:
