when a porn star goes to the office

Published on April 14, 2009 in Tip of the Week. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

Porn star Penny Flame has just been announced as one of the cast members of the next season of VH1’s Celebrity Rehab, which will be about sex addiction. She may or may not be an addict, but she is definitely not lazy. On her blog, she details a day in the life at her job as the studio manager for a porn company called MetroBabes. It turns out that stuff that helps you be the best porn star you can be isn’t always helpful at the office. Here are a couple of tips for porn performers who just got day jobs:

  • While super high platform shoes look great on your feet when you’re having sex on camera, you can’t actually walk to work in them without breaking an ankle. Time to invest in some cool-but-practical work kicks.
  • If you have ever done any movies that took places in offices, hope you kept your wardrobe. Whatever’s not tear-away is now your work attire.
  • Office chairs, even the fancy ones, are not that great for you to sit in for long stretches. Penny recommends sitting on a yoga ball, which will help you to have good posture. [Note: a massage therapist friend of mine gave me this exact advice last week.]

buzzword: recession booty

Published on March 17, 2009 in Buzzwords. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

Lost your job? Got your hours cut? Either way, there’s a trend on the rise among the gainfully underemployed: recession booty. In other words, if you’re stuck at home all day, you might as well have some hot body to keep you company. And, if you’re bored and tired of reading the want ads and watching The People’s Court reruns, why not have sex with somebody in order to keep yourself occupied? I mean, hey, it’s a nice way to compensate for having to give up your gym membership.

wendy williams implicated in assistant lawsuit

wendy williamsRadio “shock jock” Wendy Williams is about to take her highly rated show to TV. The show just started a limited run in select markets to test  how well it’ll fare with audiences. But what you may not know about Williams is that she’s currently in the midst of drama related to her former assistant. On March 24 of this year, Williams’ former talent booker/assistant, Nicole Spence, filed a sexual harrassment suit against Williams’ husband, Kevin Hunter [Williams and Hunter are pictured, left]. Among the details of the lawsuit:

Spence, 27, alleges in the complaint that Hunter, 33, harassed her for sex more than a dozen times and created a hostile work environment by repeatedly abusing Williams, 43.

“Mr. Hunter repeatedly sexually propositioned me at work in the most crude and vulgar ways, telling me over and over that he wanted to ‘f*ck’ me,” Spence charges.

Ah, I love the scent of a good sex scandal in the morning. It smells like hypocrisy.

Alabama’s Republican Attorney General Troy King, who has tried to outlaw sex toys and homosexuality, was apparently caught in bed with his gay male assistant. By his wife. Total burn.

Wonkette, of course, has the whole story. Rumors are swirling that King has been kicked out of his house and that he will be resigning from his position by early next week.

fucking your coworkers makes you better employee

Published on February 5, 2008 in Junk Drawer. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

I’ve always thought that maybe if those kids over at Seattle Grace stopped fucking each other long enough, they’d actually get some work done. But for those of you who want your workplace to more closely resemble Grey’s Anatomy, you’re in luck. One in five Italian workers admitted to having an affair with a coworker, and reported that doing so made them happier in general and more eager to go to work. (Let’s face it: who wouldn’t be happier to show up at the office if there was a chance of getting some afternoon delight in a broom closet?) 1/3 of respondents also admitted to sleeping with a superior so they could get ahead in their careers.

when dating in the office is encouraged

Published on October 15, 2007 in Junk Drawer. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

Even though TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy and The Office feature a string of coworkers hooking up with other coworkers, it’s certainly not acceptable in the real workplace. Or is it?

An article in the New York Times insists that age-old rule is reversing. And why would bosses ever be OK with their employees dating each other? Because it keeps employees that much more connected (or tied to) their work. From the article:

SOON after word spread that Sarah Kay and Matt Lacks were conducting an office romance, Ms. Kay found herself in the office of the director of human resources. There was a time when such a meeting would have signaled a death knell for the relationship, and even jeopardized the employees’ careers.

Yet as Ms. Kay, 29, cheerfully recounted, the human resources director told her, “We’re just all really glad that you made a friend.”

Think about it: did you ever make a point of showing up ten minutes early for your college bio lab, even though you hated the class, because there was a really hot guy or girl who sat next to you? Bosses are now hoping that the same trend rubs off at work. If you have a crush on a coworker, you’ll spend more time at work. People who have sex are happier people, so two coworkers getting it on means two people who come in with smiles on their faces every morning.

Not totally convinced? Neither are we, but you can check the article out here.

guest column: why you shouldn’t bang your coworkers

Josie Jobless is a friend of STA who knows her way around a nightmare assistant job. Last time she stopped by, she gave tips on how to exploit your beleaguered state. Here’s her latest missive:

It’s always a bad idea to fuck a co-worker. You eat shit or shit where you eat—both unpleasant. But if you’re dumb enough to head down this road it’s best not to pick a random co-worker for this mission. Don’t be like Josie– examine your candidates first.

Sometimes, it can be a profitable venture. As an assistant, if you bed your boss or some suit on the right level, you’ll always have the upper hand. You can never be fired and if you feel yourself getting bored by the job or the lover, a quick phone call to HR and the slightest mention of the phrase “sexual harassment” should get you out of the job with a pretty neat severance package.

If you choose not to fuck a superior, bumping uglies with someone on your level is the safest bet. As a peon, no one really cares how you get your kicks. If you’re dating just the right assistant, you can pool resources and suddenly both seem much better at your jobs. Also, fucking just the right assistant will garner all the juicy gossip your boss craves. Or you can also screw a competing assistant and get some dirt on them and take them down. The only risk of such inter-assistant office courtship is that since no one really cares, no one’s got your back in this mess and if it gets ugly you destroy your work and personal life in one fell swoop.

While messy, dating a fellow associate doesn’t quite ruffle anyone’s feathers. The worst way to sleep around work is to break the unspoken codes. Business is about ethics and procedures, many detailed, the most essential are tacit. Understanding office politics is key to getting ahead and if you ignore them sexually, everyone suffers. Don’t have sex with a vague superior. Don’t have sex with your own competition. And don’t ever bed someone who when you get found out you’re both getting fired.

After looking at these options, today’s lesson may just be that it’s best to keep it in your (black, skintight) pants at the office.
