C-Spot sponsored a lingerie party last weekend, and what better time for a quickie: “He spanked me, he bit me, he spit on me.” Things unsaid go a long way. Identity and intersex. In defense of (hey!) porn. Use condoms. To cuddle or not to cuddle.

Bwog’s Chief MoMA Correspondent Claire Sabel reports from a lecture on Michael Craig-Martin that reveals the artsy side of the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation: Michael Craig-Martin‘s work is immediately recognizable.

Halal carts and empanadas come and go, but a good Beef Pa-Nang stays with you.

Bwog is all about public service. You didn’t wake up for Michelle Moody-Adams required CC coursewide lecture; we did! When your professor asks you what MiMoo spoke about, you will have answer!
