As I look back on all my sets, I realize how many of them feature me smoking....

I began my addiction to nicotine with that first cigarette at age 13. I was always kickin it with the older kids, skaters, stoners, etc, and one of these kids worked the little cigarette booth outside of the gas station, so it was as easy as passing him the money for a pack of Salems (I really liked the image of the robot lady I saw in magazines). I took a walk the night I got the pack...I tried to smoke one, recalling all the procedure I had heard about, and made sure to actually inhale. Naturally, I got ridiculously ill....I got rid of the pack and didn't buy another.

Until the grunge became goth, and I discovered cloves. They had this sensual appeal, they were all black, and I thought they made a pretty hot prop. Now, as we all know, you are not supposed to actually inhale clove cigarettes, but you inevitably end up taking in some smoke whether you like it or not. Eventually, I was coughing up blood (cloves are far harsher than cigarettes) so I decided that I had better switch to American Spirits. And there I was, smoking smoking smoking, for the next twelve years.

UNTIL NOW!!!!

I have finally decided to release myself from the wack ass bondage of this bullshit drug addiction. And it feels great. As dorky as I feel admitting this, I read the Allen Carr book, and it actually really helped me. I don't often endorse things, but I would recommend it to anyone who wants to quit (And hey, I shoplifted it anyway, the line at the bookstore was too long and I had a movie to catch).

As I look back on all these sets, I see that I really did think smoking was part of my sexuality....I always thought I got great pleasure from smoking, which is why you see it so often. Even if I was on the other side of the lens, I was probably smoking then too. But now, I realize how poisonous this imagery is...

While SG is a vehicle for erotica, it is also an approximation or barometer of contemporary chic...it is an image machine, and we SG's are here to titillate and tease you in all our sexual confidence and undying coolness.

So today, I'm finding myself a bit ashamed. I'm ashamed to have perpetuated the myth of the smoking hot chick. That same myth has been slowly killing me for over a decade, and I'm just now breaking free.

I heard a rumor that Albertine may be coming to New York sometime soon....if she does, I am promising you all a cigarette free set that shows the new heights of fitness and the brighter complexion I look forward to achieving in my new tobacco free life.

FUCK THE NICOTINE. A DRUG ADDICTION. THAT IS ALL IT IS.



I'm fucking OVER IT!!!

Recognize Daria? hee hee

Some pictures from Self Timer recently illuminated an article about Suicidegirls and Dwam in Têtu, a queer e-publication based in France. Check it out:

SEXO LESBO!!!

Here are a couple of outtakes for a series I exhibited during Art Basel in Miami this year. Outtakes with titties!





Happy solstice!

The world must be crazy....I know she wouldn't even want the attention, but since you all actually have access to this shit (my original files got lost in a tragic hard drive accident), I say feast your eyes on this extra-terrestrial BABENESS:



Oh yeah, boycott Christmas. Or at least the consumer mess surrounding it. And stop complaining and appreciate your life.



With love, Charlie

My goodness, do I feel aggressive today. Mostly intellectually.

Thanks to all for the love and for gettin a bitch paid; at this point in my life and my maturity as an artist, I have to produce sincere work; I can't manufacture any visual communication to satiate the lowest common denominator. It's no fun at all.

One of my favorite things about this website is that it has served, over the years, as an amazing forum for truly sexy, fierce women to share their delicious, graceful genius with an often appreciative (and horny) audience.

If we're ever going to defeat the drudgery of all the proliferate, condescending low quality entertainment out there, we have to treat our audiences with respect.

I know that's its worth it from all the awesome and thoughtful comments!
It's always lovely to see that hearts are beating out there, across the globe.

WE DID IT!

Thanks for all the love for our love. Been a minute since I've hit the front page!!

In other news, I've been preparing to show my photography at the Pulse Fair for Art Basel in Miami. Here's a teaser;



Yes, I'm stoked. Real deal. <3

Thank you all for the wonderful response to the new new, if you have not looked, I invite you to LOOK....



I am glad some of you liked the intro, I could not help but be honest, any embellishment or gooey porno fantasy seemed pretty unnecessary, because I am proud that we made something real that naturally oozes sexuality as plain as the smiles on our faces.

Today I am hibernating waiting for inspiration to hit. It has become jeans season in New York, I feel like I look cool but pants kinda cut my chi...think it might be time to peel off this denim and get to work.

In unrelated news, look at how awesome Vivid is here, RAW POWER



...yeah I took that one....lucky me!

THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR



We had also been waiting for it....this set contains the passion of 3 years of expectant longing....

SEPTEMBER 7 7 7th

Something you never got to see....

I shot this on a 6x4x5 contax in around 2004 intending it to be an SG set, but I guess I didn't like the sum of the pictures and never sent it in or edited it.





Kinda cute now...I believe this was right around the time I met ZakSmith and he made this painting of me:



This sex bomb is still up in case you want to jerk off or comment or both:



I miss all my overseas and continental beauties....so many AMAZING women I have met through working on this site....

NEW SET IS UP IN MR today!!! Keep your eyes peeled....I am super proud of this one. Thank you Albertine! FEAST YOUR EYES UPON MY NAKED BODY YOU LUCKY DOG

Japan was amaaaazing....毎日わかんぺきでした！



Rockin one of my many yukata...so nice to be able to wear it like it's normal. Because it IS over there. Maybe not for gaijin so much, but there are ample occasions to sport yukata in summer, and kimono throughout the year. I am moving there. Seriously. My current collection stands at 2 Hitoe, 7 yukata, 8 kimono, 1 furisode, 5 full size obi, 8 hanhaba obi, 2 uchikake, 2 full sets of wedding kanzashi, 3 pairs of geta, and 1 pair of zori. So basically now all I need is excuses to wear them.
I am grateful to NY however....this Friday I get to perform in a peepshow booth at a whore themed costume party (any historical whore acceptable) thrown by the practically all female NY chapter of the Cutthroats bicycle club. I will be up in there in my best Geisha-Ho regalia, such a lovely excuse to style my kimono TOTALLY differently (the ho's of ancient Japan tied their obi in the front and wore the kimono loosely about the body).

Anyway, dream about that, and I hope you enjoy the set....

In addition, some of you may remember Old School SG Toy, I have her to thank for the incredible deal on these Alaia shoes (as in Clueless, when the mugger asks her to get down on the ground, and she says "...but this is an Alaia!!"). They really are a work of art. I love them dearly. They're heavy as FUCK though.
