Well, I guess this was sort of inevitable.

As an aficionado of a certain kind of erotic imagery I can (and have) spent time browsing through the vast space of image sites known as tumblrs until I burn out monitor pixels and make my eyeballs bleed. My persistence has been rewarded with at least one tumblr I most definitely recommend to any thaumatophile, to wit Fifi-Feeling Is First. Intrepid proprietress Fifi has put a <em>ton</em> of relevant imagery up there, so I rate it a definite must look-in if you like the content on this site.
Two appetizers to get the juices flowing: a most unusual take on the tube girl meme.
And quite recently, an appealingly weird sex machine illustration.
(Click through for a lot larger.) And naturally there is much more, neatly arranged under a great variety of tags (“Bride of Octopus” being one of my personal favorites.)
But it’s not just imagery that makes this tumblr so appealing. Fifi has a way of integrating the imagery into a narrative of topoi, a palace of imagination analogous to the palace of memory used by classical rhetoricians . It’s something that ought to be read first hand but, okay, one hint: another popular tag is “miskatonic.”
So Faustus says, check it out.
You are getting sleepy…sleepy…

John Villalino has sent on a sneak peak at Final Repose, the latest chapter of his freeze-themed comic Pretty Vacant. On this page on of his heroines, Gigi, is frozen and about to be auctioned off. And I suspect her eventual buyers will not have very nice plans for her…
You can click through for much larger size. The image is used here with the kind permission of the creators.
Pretty Vacant is a comic book after the classic fashion, printed with ink on paper and everything, but if you surf on over to John’s site it should be easy to find the means of getting touch with him and procuring your very own exciting copy. Don’t miss out!
Remember kids, just say no to…oh, fuck that.

A slightly more risqué mad science-themed promotional poster, also now in use at various corners of the Internet.</p>

The poster has a pretty classic inspiration:
At the time I first discovered this poster I was mourning the fact that the underlying Paul Fairman story the cover was illustrating was unavailable. But it wasn’t long before that great law of the Internet age — that if anyone ever loved it then everyone can get it — kicked in, and an edition was published. Based on the cover, I was so hoping that the woman depicted on the cover might be a Kitty Carroll, but got instead a weird mix of hard-boiled detective story with unpersuasive science fiction. Disappointing…
Professor Waite’s story about Sir Richard Francis Burton engaging in weird hypnosis has at least some basis in fact.
