Actress Gina Torres is Anna Espinosa

Hands down the baddest bitch in television is the Afro-Latina, former KGB secret ops agent, Anna Espinosa.  Born in Cuba and trained as a spy in the former Soviet Union, Espinosa can do it all: kick ass, shoot weapons, speak English, Spanish & Russian--all while looking stunning.

Few of you have seen Anna Espinosa (played by the amazing Gina Torres), because she has remained hidden on the once cult hit ABC series, Alias, featuring Jennifer Garner as CIA agent Sydney Bristow.  But if you ever saw Anna Espinosa kick Agent Bristow's ass, you wouldn't forget her anytime soon.

Ice Cream Man

Chicago escort Samuel House

A long time ago, when I was about ten or eleven years old, I used to spent the night over one of my classmates all the time.  He and I were the same age.  And he had a house full of younger brothers. 

I loved going over his house because his family had cable television--which in the 80s--was a big deal for black working class families to have.  I saw a lot of movies over their house for the first time, Weird Science (I was in love with Kelly LeBrock), Sixteen Candles (Molly Ringwald was cute), and The Breakfast Club. 

But one of the highlights to visiting their home was...

Last year, just as it was getting cold in Chicago, I was on the Internet cruising for sex, when I got a message from a guy with no picture.  He was about my age, claimed to be muscular, and said that he wanted to get together and chill for a good clean encounter. 

It was 3:30 in the morning.  He wanted company.  Fortunately, he didn't live too far from me.  I asked him to send me a picture.  He obliged my request.

The If Scenario

The summer of 1993 was a transformative season for me.  I was a young student home on break from college.  I had just met a very attractive 27 year old Mexican with a goatee that wouldn't quit. And, I was a virgin.  Well, at least with respect to men. 

The Hole or The Bottom? (part two)

When I last left you, I was standing in front of an apartment building on Chicago's southside in the cold at 9 o'clock in the morning. I had rode "my car" a pretty nice distance to the home of a brother for some morning sex.

While he gave me his address and telephone number, he didn't give me his apartment number/code. I understood the apprehension, and therefore told him that I would call when I arrived in front of his building. There was just one problem. I couldn't call him. My cell phone had been cut off that morning, and even after I paid the bill (standing outside in the cold), it would take another two hours before I could make a call. And neither of the two gas stations that were near his house had pay phones.

I thought to myself, Why me?

It's that time of year, when the blogosphere scrambles to decide who's the greatest.  I am pleased to say that Sex and the Second City has been nominated for TWO Best of Blogs Awards--Best Sex Blog and Best Podcast.  Since this blog is still new, I really do consider it an honor just to be nominated.  There are some great blogs out there--other categories include Best LGBT Blog (which I wasn't nominated for), and Best Weight-Loss Blog

Please click the picture above or the following link and vote for me (you have to scroll down).  Make sure you vote in both categories (if you so choose).  As always, I appreciate it.

The Hole or The Bottom? (part one)

It should come as no surprise that I love short stories.  The Lady or The Tiger is not just an expression for an unsolvable conundrum, but it is also one of the best American short stories of all time.  Written by Frank Stockton, The Lady or The Tiger is set in "semi-barbaric" times and tells the tale of a king who administers an unusual form of justice for criminals in his land. 

The king placed all offenders in a public arena and the only way out were through two doors.  Behind door number one was a viscious man-eating tiger.  If he picked this door he was deemed guilty of the crime and his punishment was that the tiger would destroy him.  Behind door number two was a a ruling of innocence--and a beautiful woman that the criminal was forced to marry on the spot--as his reward.

The king has a daughter who falls in love with a commoner.  Their love is discovered and the king has the commoner arrested and placed into the arena to face justice.  The commoner looks to the princess for assistance--since she knows what lies behind which door.  She is faced with a conundrum--see the man she loves ripped to pieces or see him alive but in the arms of another woman for the rest of his life.  She motions to the right door, and the commoner picks it...

It's been a while since I've written about SAMMY SOSA.  If you remember, the dark and sexy SAMMY SOSA and I shared a bit of fintimacy.  And on our first encounter we exchanged that four letter word to one another.
