Lust by Ellen Forney

Lust by Ellen Forney

Forney has for several years been illustrating the Seattle alt-weeklyThe Stranger's Lustlab classified ads by interpreting the most interesting, outrageous, or idiosyncratic ad in that week's paper, that is awarded the appellation Lustlab Ad of the Week. Lustlab is the category encompassing the kinkiest personal ads in the paper, and every week the page attracts Seattle's finest lovers, kinksters, perverts, and the perv-curious, and each week, Forney chooses one ad, edits the text, and creates a comic combining that text and imagery. She uses her brushwork in many different styles--bold and graphic, fine and detailed, cartoony, or elegant, depending on the tone of the ad. She uses a variety of resource materials for inspiration, from early erotic photography to Tom of Finland to Wacky Packages-style send-ups of consumer products to original designs. Exhibitionists, voyeurs, threesomes, moresomes, tops, bottoms, switches, rope-lovers, spankers, spankees, bi-curious men, bi-curious women, lesbians with prison fantasies, masturbation clubs--Forney illustrates them all in her bemused, affectionate, witty, and elegant style In addition to the text and illustrations, the author embarked upon the rare journalistic feat of interviewing six enthusiastic Lustlab subscribers, who provide background, context, and hilarity (intentional and unintentional) by discussing their participation in the Lustlab network and their lusty experiences with the lovers for whom they advertised. Thrill to their outr sexual quests Live vicariously through their sexual adventuring To cap it off, the collection includes an introduction by the notorious sex advice columnist and novelist (andStranger editor), Dan Savage. You'll meet (and love) - The female-to-male transsexual boot-loving Germanophil - The trashy fat redneck man seeking same, preferably with months-old B.O - The erotic hypnotist's offer to give women mind-blowing joy-buttons - The smartass bisexual nerdy-girl rope-love - The obedient transvestite who wants to clean women's toilet - The man organizing a private strip poker game for gay me - The butch dyke seeking a femme for erotic medieval reenactment - Three women friends seeking a male service bottom - The woman who wants to watch a very fat woman on the toile - The male-to-female blonde transsexual who wants airhead lesson - The man who wants to be humped in public by someone in an animal costum - The woman who wants to try pegging for the first time Exhibitionists, voyeurs, threesomes, moresomes, tops, bottoms, switches, rope-lovers, spankers, spankees, bi-curious men, bi-curious women, lesbians with prison fantasies, jack-off clubs--Forney illustrates them all in her bemused, affectionate, witty, and elegant style
