• Gift Ideas from Scanner

  Got some last minute gifts to buy? This blogger sure does! Scanner has some great gift ideas for you. What’s on the list, you ask? Here’s a sampling: db clay wallets: “Like little pieces of art that can be carried in a back pocket everyday."     Sony HDR-SR45C: “For $219 off, you get the camcorder, a case, a battery, and a remote control tripod. The whole bundle will cost you $1,300.” Fancy!       Stemless wineglasses: “They're cool looking and they remove all the anxiety of where you're supposed to put your hand...at least when it comes to the wine.”       More ideas here.   Posted Dec 20 2007, 12:00 PM by Sarah with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: scanner, holidays, holiday gift guide, gifts

It’s the holiday market at Union Square, NYC.  Antonia Daly, 41 gives some great advice for people in relationships: “When you're in a relationship, you have to give yourself the freedom to realize that there are a lot of other people out there who might be compatible with you. It can be energizing, and make you feel more sensuous.” Load up on all the advice on here.

• From the Archives: A Sex Show that Feels like a Suburban Mall

  The holiday shopping season is upon us. Today is ‘Cyber Monday,’ the online equivalent of ‘Black Friday,’ when online shoppers ignore work and spend money online. But! Many of us will still spend hours at the mall this year, searching for the right gift for sisters and nieces and aunts and uncles. With that in mind today’s archive piece is “Shopping and Fucking,” a dispatch from “The Everything To Do With Sex Show,” which took place in Toronto in 2000. Don’t be fooled, though, even if it feels like a mall, a sex show is probably not the place to shop for your family. “Everything is mall-bright, mall-cheerful, and there is always music in the air. It's terrifically welcoming and utterly neutral all at the same time…The Everything To Do With Sex Show is a tribute to the redemptive power of shopping, and it has made of the Automotive Building a temporary version of the mall, that cathedral of consumption.” Read the whole piece here.   Posted Nov 26 2007, 01:00 PM by Sarah with | with no comments Filed under: archives, holidays, sex show, shopping
