Podcast - Rev. Legs Malone

In this episode, we highlight the franchised entertainment that is Naked Girls Reading. New York City NGR chapter head Nasty Canasta tells us a bit about herself and then reads from Lolita along with excerpts from other books read by Gal Friday and Creamy Stevens. I can't promise that they were naked or clothed during the recording but I'll let your mind run wild. To attend the next NYC NGR show, please visit http://nakedgirlsreadingnyc.blogspot.com to check out the theme of the month and who will be reading in the buff. Enjoy!

One of my oldest and dearest friends joins the LWL podcast for some talk about sex, relationships, interpersonal dynamics and how she has spent the last 10 years of her life studying all of them. Dating coach, former matchmaker assistant, and social researcher par excellence, I think you'll enjoy my lovely boo as much as I do!
