Now, I know that most of you out there did not miss this: but today,
yes today, is Thursday.
Imagine my surprise and dismay when (halfway through the work day) this was brought to my attention.
Apparently working two 15 and 18 hour days on Monday and Tuesday got my week all confused.
Sadly I have missed the glory and delights of HNT, therefore I may have to get twice as naked as normal next week. Better charge up those camera batteries!

I don't know if any of you saw
this story, about the Saudi Arabian journalist and sex-braggart being sentenced for their part in a talk show about sex that aired on Lebanese TV.
Now I am sure no one really wants to hear my views on the repugnant politics of Saudi Arabia or about my many, many problems with fundamentalism. (Although whichever one of you fuckers sent me an email about adultery and how I am going to hell, you may get to hear about my problems with fundamentalism. You may also get signed up to every fucking obnoxious newsletter I can find on the internet. )
The irony of those countries is always the underbelly, the quiet aspects - for example, the rate of homosexuality among unmarried men in Saudi Arabia is apparently quite high. Probably I should say "homosexual sex" or something, because these men wouldn't identify as gay, but they are...well, doing each other in lieu of women 'cause there are no frisky chicks accessible.
Yes, you make your wife wear a burka on the street, and yes, you will send me an email about how I am a bad, bad girl. But for a country that flogs people for talking about sex, I gotta tell you - a truly disproportionate amount of my blog traffic comes from there. I am talking a striking amount - one of the most frequently occurring countries after the U.S. and the U.K.
Adulterous sex? Bad. Women with exposed skin? Unacceptable. Talking about sex? Flogging offence.
Adulterous sex blog written by semi-naked tart? I check it every day.
If you are one of my Saudi Arabian readers I would love to hear from you...
