Last night at our monthly video game challenge, "Retro-active" took down "The Chill" and legions of other Dr. Mario experts, proving his pill popping prowess and taking the reign of 3rd Ward's Video Game King.
This series of sexy snaps was made while working on my ice cream truck! Wedged comfortably between Prada and Victoria's Secret, I found perfect inspiration to send some sexts to a few of my honeys! Needless to say the innuendoes are endless in this biz and I was lucky to have a rainy day to play on my truck and surreptitiously make this series in between serving customers.
This spring, we asked the public to create and share thought-provoking erotic work using only the abilities of their cellular devices in nationwide open call Sex Cells.
June 12th, we’ll reveal the fruits of their labor (and their loins) with a group show of provocative photos, videos and texts.
Expect to laugh, gasp and blush over complimentary drinks and a special performance from Unicornicopia - performing songs from CAMP WANATACHI: A New Musical!
For more information click here.
To everyone who owned up to the double life their cell phone is leading and shared their intimate, erotic, creative and hilarious moments with us. All of our judges reported having a tough timing narrowing it down to just one "most intriguing" submission. But a decision had to be made.
***A special thanks to the Sex Cells Authorities - Dian Hanson, Chase Lisbon and Ashlea Halpern - for lending us their erotic expertise.
Happy Birthday to the best Education Director we know: 
J Perelmuter.

We Are The Arm celebrate the release of their first full-length record with a multifaceted evening of music, dancing, and eclectic entertainment. Plus! Brooklyn rock torchbearers Your 33 Black Angels lend musical support.
Equal parts Miami circa '87, George Benson's slick R&B soul and synth-lines that would make Giorgio Moroder's afro stand up proud, We Are The Arm's sound is a dream cocktail that goes down easy. The aural equivalent of smoothly applied suntan lotion. Reaching out from Hawaii, Upstate New York, Chicago and Philly, We Are The Arm effortlessly provide the soundtrack to all your sweaty summer nightboating fantasies.
The Saturday Night Party includes: deconstructed cocktails, mixtape swap (yes, tapes), and a "create your own ringtone" workshop.
