Belle Knox Being Smart Is Actually Pretty Normal, and Oh, by the Way, GET OVER the Porn vs. Feminism Issue Already!
I’m so happy to see that Belle Knox is going way public about her choice of career, and defending herself eloquently in print and on television.

Two Things You Should Check Out (that I did)
1) I reviewed the newest effort from C. Batts Fly studios, April Flores World, today on WHACK! Magazine. I have to admit up-front that I’m a massive April Flores fan, so my review might be a bit on the “I’ll worship whatever she does” side. But, hey, I’m a reviewer. I’m allowed. A snippet: “The…
