Rest in peace, Michael...

One of my first memories is when the video for THRILLER first came out. It scared me so much that I told my parents I never wanted to see it again. They laughed and told me they were gonna hold my eyelids open with toothpicks and make me watch it over and over again. I was only 3 or 4 years old. They were such jerks! Thanks a lot, parents (I'll send my therapy bills to you).

The rest of my Michael Jackson memories are happy. My parents were both really into good music and formed my listening tastes early on. They were both fans (obviously). I remember my mother doing aerobics to Jackson 5 music. Then, for some reason, my sister and I got a hold of a MOONWALKER VHS and proceeded to watch it probably every day (at least once). Every time the ROCK WITH YOU segment came on, I'd get all flushed and worked up. "Ohmygodheissohot!!!!!!!" I'd shriek. Sometimes I'd rewind it. I've pasted a screenshot from that video below so you can see what got my 9 year old hormones going. My sister, four and a half years younger, fell instantly in love with MJ - to the point where she'd kiss her poster of him.

My sister reminded me that our little brother used to dance around to BLACK OR WHITE when it came out. Basically, we all loved all of his music at any point in his career. His videos were more than videos and his dancing was, well, uh, extremely awesome!! The best entertainer I've ever seen. Everywhere he performed girls would get hysterical and faint. Now that's charisma!

My boyfriend has a theory that people cannot help but dance or at least move around a little to DON'T STOP TIL YOU GET ENOUGH. His theory was proven when we were in Chicago about four years ago. We were on the trolley headed somewhere when that song came on. Every single person in the trolley started groovin'. It was an amusing sight.

Over these past few days it has been really great to see everyone from all around the world mourn the loss of such an icon. I know he meant a lot to many generations.

I have been listening to his DANGEROUS album yesterday and today and I have to say, it is fucking amazing. I'm sure my neighbors enjoyed my renditions of WHO IS IT and GIVE IN TO ME. All of his music is timeless. OFF THE WALL is still amazing and 300 times better than music today. Everyone knows THRILLER went platinum like 20 times and I always loved BAD. The thing about DANGEROUS I'm noticing is how mature it is - it has a passion about it that I never fully realized before. I will perform it many more times in my apartment in remembrance of such an unforgettable entertainer.

Thanks for all the memories, MJ - we're gonna miss you!!!!!

Oh so leggy!!

Here is one of the photos from the shoot I recently did with Los Angeles based photographer Christina Padilla. I really inherited my mother's legs. I'll post more pics as I sort through them.

I got word that the book Swing! that is currently in e-book form is going to be in print soon!

The boyfriend and I did 14 loads of laundry today. And watched Orgazmo. All in a days work, my friends. All in a days work...

Hot Summer Sexy Time at IN THE FLESH

It's time for you to get excited. Why? Because I will be reading at Hustler next week, Wednesday, June 10th, at IN THE FLESH. The theme this month is Hot Summer Sex and I am pleased to be reading an excerpt from my story The Salsa Bar that's featured in Alison Tyler's book, Playing With Fire. 

As usual, Stan Kent will be DJing and there will be giveaways of Hustler Merchandise and some goodie samples. Remember, there is free parking behind the store at 8920 W. Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069 (310)-860-9009 - See you there!

Thought I'd include this too cute pic of me and my sis on her wedding day. I think it's one of my favorite pics ever taken. 

I'm in "GOOD" and my hair looks damn good

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Proof that I work

Proof that I work - even though the first pic shows me eating a dumpster of an ice cream sundae that made me sick the rest of the night. Or maybe that was the Ducks losing so badly that made me lose my dairy until 4:30 am. Until next season...

Sugar Overdose at the Ducks Game! (and some Fango, too)

It's almost the weekend - and God, I hope so because I made a fatal error yesterday that I would like to forget. That's right, I accidentally wore a red sweater to the Ducks v. Red Wings game last night. I'm such an idiot! Not only that, there was an argument with the cops (will not go into detail) and I seemed to get hassled all night. Let's just say it was a bad night overall for pretty much everything.

Read about it here:
JOLENE'S TAKE ON GAME FOUR OF THE ANAHEIM V DETROIT SERIES


Just because you know you want to read it, here's a recap of this year's Fangoria convention last month! And like the hard worker I am, I asked someone else to write my column for me! Eh, he did a better job anyway. He and the werewolf look very happy together.

Take a look:

Have a fantastic weekend and I'll try not to melt in the heat. It's not summer yet but it certainly smells like it.

I get to be all artsy and stuff!!!

Hey, quit looking at that zipper, you pervert! Who woulda thunk I'd be a part of a juried literary showcase? Well, I AM a northwestern girl at heart so it makes sense that I am one of nine authors showcased this weekend at the SEATTLE EROTIC ART FESTIVAL.

Sure, I never lived out my dream of going to University of Washington and working in a coffee shop, but that doesn't mean my dirty writings can't grace the city. 

My friend Jeremy Edwards also made it into the showcase! He's a stellar writer and I am pleased to be in such good company.

According to the SEAF website, this festival was founded in 2002 by The Foundation for Sex Positive Culture to promote freedom of sexuality, speech, and creativity through the erotic expression of fine art. 

Thanks to Dr. Dick for pointing out this opportunity. 

SWING! Adventures in Swinging - Blog Tour!

Happy Monday, everyone! I am so thrilled to be the April 20th stop of the blog tour for Swing! edited by the talented Jolie du Pre. My answers are quick and dirty (like I like it). The book is being released THIS WEEK on Friday, April 24th and it's an honor to share pages with some of the finest of today's erotica writers. Check the website for more details. 

1. Why do you write erotica and what do you love best about it?

The number one reason I write erotica is, well, I love sex. Of course, I love writing fiction, too, so it just seems logical to combine the two.  The thing I love best about writing in this genre is being able to convey sex in such a positive way when we live in a society that loves it but doesn’t want to admit it because it still sees it as something dirty and taboo.  

2. Tell us about your story in Swing! Adventures in Swinging by Today's Top Erotica Writers and please feel free to give us an excerpt.

My story, “Quick Fix” is about a couple (Luke and Lara) that needs to spice up their relationship so they swing with a couple next door. The whole thing starts when Kevin, the neighbor, knocks on the Lara’s door and asks to borrow some kool-aid.  I seem to like to write about attractive neighbors. Maybe I have a secret desire to have sex with my neighbors.

Here’s an excerpt:

  He led me through the hallway to his bedroom. It was obvious an artist lived here as about 20 canvases hung on the walls. Kevin pointed to one on the wall opposite the door. It was a woman, her back exposed, a hand placed on the pale curve of her back.

            I walked closer. Her hair was the exact dark brown shade of mine.  The rest of the colors were vivid, yet calming.

            “Do you like it?” He asked. I felt him standing right behind me, his breath almost on my neck.

            “It’s beautiful. It really is.” I turned around slowly. With my heels on we were almost eye-to-eye. His hand reached around to touch the small of my back, his eyes, locked on mine. The right side of his mouth turned up in a smile, the dimple a delectable indentation on his face. I held my breath, trying not to smell his aftershave.  I could hear Luke and Missi still laughing in the other room. They sounded so far away.

            I felt like there was a magnet in me, tipping me off my heels into him. His fingers seared a hole in my back. I almost moaned. His lips brushed mine delicately, barely gripping my top lip before he released it. The fingers on my back pushed me forward to lead him out of the bedroom. My breath started to slow when I saw Luke pouring Missi a glass of wine.

3. Name some other books where we can find your work.

Some of my favorite erotic books where you can find my work are Playing with Fire edited by Alison Tyler, A is for Amour edited by Alison Tyler, J is for Jealousy edited by Alison Tyler, Iridescence edited by Jolie du Pre and Ultimate Lesbian Erotica edited by Nicole Foster.  I’m also in a couple of fantastic literary fiction anthologies, Tonto Short Stories and More Tonto Short Stories.  

You can find the complete list on my website at www.jolenehui.com.  You’ll also find links to my work on Inside Hockey and The Flesh Farm.

4. What are you working on now?

I’m trying to get a foot fetish story going but really I’m working on a lot of different things. I always am in the middle of a million short pieces. And I’m relieved that I’ve finally found inspiration to work on a novel – it’s a memoir…sort of. It’s as good of a memoir as I can do.

5. If you could offer one piece of advice to a new author, what would it be?

Whenever I’m asked to give advice to writers I just like to say keep writing. That’s really the most important thing for all writers to remember. Also, ENJOY IT! It should be a fun and worthwhile process. 

Pigeon Poo

It is true that the USPS is after me. Not only did they neglect to track a piece of important certified mail, they aren't too keen on delivering my sister's personalized bridal shower invitations to me. This is why I pay my bills online. Remember when they were lovely enough to hold my mail (without informing me) for two weeks? Yeah, there was that incident. Plus there was that time when items from The Flesh Farm archive were lost and, oh yeah, that time when I thought my postal carrier was reading my porn. 

The only pieces of mail I got today were bad news. Bad news on top of a damn annoying Monday do not cheer me up. Even a pigeon thought it was a "shit on Jolene" day when he dribbled a bit of poo onto my leg as I ate my sandwich outside on my lunch hour.

The only thing I have to look forward to this evening is a bubble bath, a heating pad to relax my neck and shoulder muscles, and the sweet hum of my television. The day just needs to stop. 

On a cheerier note, my blog interview is getting closer. So on the 20th, please come back here as I will be the featured author from Jolie du Pre's SWING! on that day. 

As of now I've been writing for hours, but ate a brownie and did a video chat with my boyfriend to break up the process. Tomorrow night I look forward to a 10K jog and American Idol. 

Thank God for Lionel Richie radio on Pandora and Thank God for ebay jewelry. 

Let's hope tomorrow is lovelier....

I like free tickets - who doesn't?

I'm on INSIDE HOCKEY today (www.insidehockey.com) talking about my trip to the Staples Center to see two evil teams.

Keep reading for more info on upcoming fun times. IN THE FLESH coming up next Wednesday at Hustler and a blog tour stop at THIS BLOG on April 20th for "Swing!"

I'm running a race this weekend. Wish me luck!

En Espanol! Si! Si! Si!

Did I tell you one of my stories was translated into Spanish? Amusing, right? Alison Tyler's The Happy Birthday Book of Erotica is available now in Spanish! I'm so thrilled...but bummed I haven't seen a copy yet. The above pic was the best I could do, size-wise. I couldn't find a larger version, damnit.

Speaking of sexy - if you were planning on going to The Hive Gallery this Friday for the Feminine Oddities show, I won't be there. Just letting you know in case you'd been planning to see this particular burlesque show. Go see a movie instead. I Love You Man, looks fantastic. 

Love you all!

A very lucky stylish baby!

I ordered this cute ANAHEIM DUCKS oneside for a gal I work with in San Francisco. There's going to be a very adorable little Ducks fan in the bay area soon!!!

If I ever have kids, they'll be wearing Ducks logo emblazoned clothing. You better believe it.

PLAYING WITH FIRE looks hot 'n spicy SPECTACULAR

My copies of PLAYING WITH FIRE arrived today and they look amazing. I could stare at the cover all day!!! SO SEXY (see cover in previous post)

I don't think it's available to the public yet so don't get too excited. If you want to pre-order, go for it - it's worth it. These stories are spicy.

Product Description

Why should you play hard to get when you can play with fire? The forbidden has never been so appealing as it is in Alison Tyler's latest collection. In these incendiary stories that explore the taboo side of erotica, couples go about setting their boundaries aflame. Committed to each other without question, they play out their naughtiest fantasies, pushing the limits of sex, lust, and the imagination as far as they can to please each other. Playing it a bit riskier and playing it a bit more daring will send readers and their partners steaming towards the next step in sexual exploration. Featuring new work from ADR Forte, Jolene Hui, Sommer Marsden, Shanna Germain, and others, Playing With Fire delivers enough heat to inspire readers to burn their own erotic bridges.
