“YOUR TITS ARE just as nice as they were when you were 15.”

If you want to read Jamie Peck's piece that she read at Quickies on Friday night, you can do so at New York Press. It opens with the title of this post...and gets better from there!

Photos from Quickies: Short Erotica, October 2nd

I still owe you photos from September's In The Flesh, but for now, some photos from a spectacular, dare I say perfect, Quickies. All the readers were funny and powerful and got rave reviews from the crowd. The 100 free cupcakes went so quickly I will be getting 200 from now on (meaning October 15th at Sex and Comedy Night)! Thank you so much to all the readers who were so spectacular. Photos by Tess Danesi via Flickr.
