The Erotic Mind of Jesse Belle-Jones – Podcast #224 – 08/09/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Do ya’ll remember several weeks ago when I interviewed John Woods & Cass King; they were in town to produce their stage production called SHINE: A Burlesque Musical? I mean, how could you forget that, right?

Well, at about that same time I began to follow the tweets of one the cast members of that show. I became so jazzed by her and all the brilliant stuff she was doing that I decided to hit her up to be my guest for the Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series. But midway through our conversation I realize that we are discussing erotic art as much as anything else. And that’s when it comes to me; my guest, the exceptional burlesque talent, Jesse Belle-Jones, fits equally well into my The Erotic Mind series too.

So not only is Jesse’s appearance here today another wonderful twofer; she is also the first guest in this series that creates her erotic art using the medium of her very own body! Hot DAMN!

Jesse and I discuss:

Behind the scenes at SHINE: A Burlesque Musical;
Sinner/Saint Burlesque —
Local burlesque critics;
Body politics;
What is “good” burlesque;
Naked Girls Reading —
Her appearance at The Seattle Erotic Art Festival;
Will there be a Naked Boys Reading;
BurlyCon —
The purpose of the convention and who’s invited;
Workshops and panel discussions;
Crossing cultural boundaries;
How she got her start in burlesque;
Her stage name;
Her favorite aspects of burlesque.

See Jesse at work and play.

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

I have fantastic show in store for you today; it happens to be another twofer. My guest is so talented and his interests so diverse that he rightly falls into both The Erotic Mind and the Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series. I love when that happens. I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming a legend, David Lawrence.

I happen to know a number of very talented riggers, some of them have appeared on this show. And I know even more outstanding photographers; and a lot of them have appeared on this show too. But David is both. He has mastered photography and Shibari, the Art of Japanese Rope Bondage. And that, my friends, takes a huge amount of dedication!

David and I discuss:

His 30 years of professional photography work.
The appearance of erotic themes in his art.
Getting his start with Shibari.
Rigging all his own shoots.
The similarities and differences between the two art forms.
It’s all about passion.
What comes first — the bondage scene or the photographic concept.
His newest endeavor — Men BOUND.
Culturally induced responses to an image of a bound woman and a bound man.

SEX WISDOM with Mistress Matisse – Podcast #215 – 06/30/10

Hey sex fans,

Today is the last day of my special Pride month spectacular. I promised you at the beginning of the month we’d have a kick-ass line up of guests and I kept that promise. We started off with a visit to the lair of the Queen of Kink Couture, Tonya Winter. Then we chatted with the exquisitely edgy photographer, Boots Bryant. Then the brilliant songsters, John & Cass, aka The Wet Spots, thrilled us with their sexy music. And now I have the pleasure of welcoming… the one and only, Mistress Matisse. I mean, holy cow; where else can you find such diverse and entertaining programming?

It’s true, my favorite sex columnist, blogger and podcaster, the internationally acclaimed Pro-Dom, Mistress Matisse, is in the house.

This is the series where we chat with researchers, educators, clinicians, pundits and philosophers who are making news and reshaping how we look at our sexual selves.

Matisse has someone special with her today, who she will introduce in a moment. But first one word of caution; you may hear some whining and whimpering in the background of today’s program. Those sound effects are provided by my dog, Ginger. I tell you this because I don’t want you to get the wrong idea and think that was me! Although god knows, the incredibly sexy and oh so entertaining Mistress Matisse makes even me, a big fat homo, weak in the knees.

Matisse and I discuss:

The Pacific Northwest as a hotbed of perversion.
Her frank and no-hold-bared style of sex talk.
Becoming Mistress Matisse.
Class structures and sex work.
The Politics of Blowjobs.
If it’s not one thing, It’s your mother.
Bridging Pleasure and Danger.
Cisgender, transgender and the dangers of binary thinking.

Matisse invites you to enter her world and visit her on one or all of her websites HERE or HERE !
