God, do we loathe Valentine’s Day. All the expectations of grand gestures, all the flipping through cards and never finding the right one, all the balloons, all the candy, all the stuffed bears, all the thoughts of maybe-she-won’t-mind-if-we-skip-it-this-year, all the things covered in chocolate, all the mother-loving restaurant reservations you forget to make until just […]

Hottest Librarian
Name: Shawna Dailey
Age: 26
Profession: Library Assistant, Deschutes Public Library System
What's the sexiest book you've ever read, and was Fabio on the cover? The Sookie Stackhouse novels are pretty scandalous and full of vampire smut. Also, Chelsea Handler's “My Horizontal Life” is a riot. Sadly, Fabio was nowhere to be seen on the covers, but Elvis makes appearances in the Sookie books!
Hottest section in the library: Probably next to the fireplace. It's stifling over there. Also, you know, all the brawny men hang out by the mantle and read poetry.
Romantic Comedies: Let the Hijinks Ensue!
Every man knows to rent When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, Pretty Woman and The Notebook to romance his lady friend(s). Instead of providing you with the same old song and dance, here's a list of romantic comedies I like that would be good for a romantic movie night this Valentine's Day.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Once upon a time Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet) lived happily in love. When their relationship crumbled, Clementine decided to have Joel erased from her memory by way of some seriously crazy technology. When Joel finds out, he begins to have Clementine erased from his, but in the process they discover what they had to begin with. The Michael Gondry-directed film features stunning visuals to break down each memory, especially once Joel decides he doesn't want to lose Clementine and fights against the erasing process.
The Smut Made Me Do It: What happens when you take the sex out of porn?
Around 1994, I was at the peak of my career as a smut peddler, delivering videos and magazines to East Bay liquor stores for all to consume. At Zero Distribution, we handed out Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler and Jugs (to name a few), but we also handled the XXX-rated stuff. Spending Friday afternoons in the warehouse putting stickers over naughty bits was, believe me, a full-time job.
Some of the funniest and most hideous pictures crossed my eyes in those days, sometimes taking weeks to erase completely. I eventually became head of the video department due to my love of film and the fact that I doubled over with laughter at some of the titles. I always envisioned a bunch of serious dudes in suits at a big conference table debating over the titles. “No! I say we call it 'Smack my Wobblers!'”
Keeping Things Lusty
Whether you've just started dating or you're 12 years, two kids, a bad back and 10 pounds of belly fat into a relationship, keeping your love life from getting boring can be difficult. We went to the unofficial sex experts of Bend – or “sexperts” if you're getting all technical – the staff of the Pretty Pussycat. Here's their advice that will almost certainly help you spice up your love life and make sure you'll get lucky on a regular basis.
Historical Hottie: George Putnam
The folks over at the Des Chutes Historical Society like to keep us in tune with our town's history, so we went ahead and let them vote off-ballot for a category they created all on their own: Historical Bend Hottie.
Here is the message we received.
