Why I’m a Birthday Brat And Why You Should be One Too

I’m a big birthday person, always have been. It runs in my family. I think some people must look at us and think we are a little crazy (which we are). Growing up my mother always put on fantastic parties for me and my brother. And on the morning of our birthdays, she would decorate the living room with posters and balloons and have lots of presents for us to open. Not in a spoilt way, but she would find any little thing that she could wrap up so we would get the excitement of unwrapping gifts. She would make a big deal of our special day and celebrate it as much as she could. And even though we are no longer kids, she continues this tradition every year. As soon as I got to the age where I could use a credit card, I did the same for her,…

Cannasexuality

Add your comment...

Gone are the days where the word “weed was about teenagers cutting pieces of hoses and making dirty bongs out of drink bottles. I once had to inform my own mother why her hose out the front of the house kept getting shorter and how the boys down the street might be to blame. We now have a world of sophisticated and useful cannabis with ingesting, smoking or vaping it in some countries feeling as socially acceptable as a glass of wine. Only recently in West Hollywood, I walked past what I thought was a beauty salon only to realise it was a weed shop, buzzing with people and elegant in looks. In the US, nine states and Washington DC have legalised marijuana for recreational use, not even a doctor’s prescription needed with medical marijuana legal in another 29. It was only a matter of time before the idea of…

Being a successful male porn star is more complicated than you might think

Add your comment...

One of the perks of my job is being able to have access to some interesting people and I’m not sure why, but throughout the years I have gravitated to those in porn. Mainly because I have become fascinated as to how the in industry works. We hear a lot about female porn stars and most, when you say the words, ‘male porn star’ conjure up images of Ron Jeremy from the 80’s. So who really are these men and what are their lives all about? Male porn stars are considered genetically gifted; men with genitals that are required to stay hard for hours on end. But succeeding in porn isn’t nearly so simple as having all the right bits in all the right places. Ericka Ikon owner of The Rub PR, who looks after many adult stars explains that for a male star, the road to success is not…

My Keynote on Decriminalising Abortion

Add your comment...

Recently, I got asked to speak at an event in support to decriminalising abortion in the state of Queensland. For those of you who might not be aware, abortion in Queensland remains in the criminal code. The only time is it legal to be performed is to prevent serious danger to a woman’s physical or mental health. So, in a nut shell, what happens is that women who are wanting to terminate an unwanted pregnancy up until a certain point must sign a document saying that if they were to continue with the pregnancy, they would be at mental or physical risk. Whilst it’s great we have a loop hole, this makes an already terrible situation even worse. I was also shocked to discover that Queensland doesn’t have safe zones outside of these clinics with women having to be escorted through protestors. I struggled with what to say in this…
