Tantra<\/em>. I muse that new age ponces like Sting should definitely have more Kali in their lives.<\/p>\nResult: A resounding victory of Odin to the tune of \u00a317 nicker, althoug the winning bidder also snaffled the satanic stuff. Make of that what you will.<\/p>\n
Week 5: Do fetishists pay with rubber cheques?<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ebay fatigue was beginning to set in, so only 4 items rather than the usual ten. Skin Two<\/em> used to be a great magazine, filled with slightly arty photos of curvy pale gals in tight shiny black outfits. Oh, and some great articles on all sorts of slightly edgy stuff – interviews with Clive Barker, pieces on Angela Carter, that sort of thing. (Obviously <\/em>the main reason I bought ’em was because of the articles – you know that, right? \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\nAt some point in the early 90s Skin Two mutated into a rubberist version of Vogue <\/em>and I gradually lost interest (“what you gonna do when the novelty has gone?”). Two issues remained an onto ebay they went, with a slight pang of reluctance – my first!<\/p>\nAlso a copy of The Obsession<\/em>, a novel by Terence Sellers, who is more famous for writing The Correct Sadist<\/em> – a well observed “how to” guide which was non-salacious and very insightful on a number of levels. Terence is quite an interesting character – a New York based transsexual dominatrix with connections to Genesis P-Orridge.<\/p>\nResult: One of the mags had my biggest number of views at 81. You never know if that is because people just want to have a peek or if they are seeing if it is something they have already (and want to sell!) though. One issue sold for a tenner whilst Terence went for the bargain basement price of \u00a31.20, something I felt quite bad about on her behalf (like she gives a flying one).<\/p>\n
Also this week: some signs of change in my better half. Whilst watching an episode of ‘Six Feet Under’ on DVD I noticed that it featured reknowned sex author Susie Bright. I wandered off to get my copy of RE\/SEARCH – Angry Women<\/em> to make sure it was the same one. It was! MBH asked, slightly anxiously – “you’re not going to sell <\/em>that, are you?”. I wasn’t, but it was definitely a turning point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The continuing saga of a compulsive hoarder.
