Buying Natacha Merritt’s book, ‘Digital Diaries’ over the counter conjured up the same feelings of excitement and embarrassment I felt when buying my first issue of Penthouse Magazine as a pimply faced under-aged teen. It’s intense, it’s selfploitation to the max, in your face, porn, art, photography all crammed into a little silver diary. It was the hot topic of discussion in my lounge room for years. I got so sick to death of debating (sometimes until I was blue in the face) about whether her work is porn or art that I took Natacha’s book off my coffee table and stored it on the shelf. Phew. I suggest you own it. One for the archive for sure. It’s a shame her site’s aren’t updated as often as they once were, but you can find Natacha online at Digital Diaries and also Digital Girly.

Porn Star Jenna Jameson recently asked her favorite fashion photographer Naomi Kaltan to shoot her for a spread in Esquire Magazine. Seems like Jenna’s looking for a direction in the fashion industry (hey you can only do hardcore porn for so long right?!) with her own fashion line coming out soon and a sign up with Elite Model agency as well. I reckon she looks damn great in these shots (find them in “portfolio one” on Naomi Kaltan’s web site or click here for a direct link to the photos).

What happens when someone decides to post up an “Artistic Nudes” thread in a porn forum? Amazingly an influx of posts and over 11 pages (and counting) of “art nudes”. Perhaps these kids are sick of the usual over saturated, super macro, fake tits, legs spreads and cum shots found elsewhere on the internet?! Check out the thread over at Phun.org.

Adam Harvey’s a 24-year-old interactive designer based in New York.
“I started with the idea that spam was becoming such an object of hate, and I thought maybe it could be made into something more enjoyable. I played with it for a while and thought that the best way to display it was with porn as the vehicle,” he says. “It’s kind of like the idea of taking shit and turning it to gold.”
The result is Save As, an art exhibition featuring eight images that “probe the intersection of sex and commerce on the internet,” according to his website.
