[VIDEO] Ellen Narrates ’50 Shades of Grey’
I love Ellen and this is great. A couple of days ago, I decided to start reading this book, just to see what all the hype was about. Although it’s not literary genius, it’s pretty damn good. In author E.L. James’ erotic book, the relationship between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey is highlighted.
Lee Grace Dougherty: Wounded And In Chains
Locked up: The brand new mugshots after, from left, Ryan Edward Dougherty, 21, Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, and Lee Grace Dougherty, 29 were caught by police
Dailymail - Shackled and in wheelchairs, the infamous Dougherty siblings were led by authorities to a waiting police vehicle hours after they were finally captured in a high-speed police chase and shoot-out on a Colorado highway.
Bank-robbing stripper Lee Grace Dougherty was shot in the leg during the dramatic final shoot-out while her two brothers Dylan and Ryan were injured in the 20-mile, 100mph crash.
The injured trio was then taken to Spanish Peak’s Medical Center to be treated before being transferred in the hospital outfits to prison.
Subdued: Lee Grace Dougherty, 29, is wheeled by a Pueblo County Sheriff's Office from hospital to a police vehicle
During the earlier chase, Lee-Grace, 29, got out of the gang’s high-powered Subaru Impreza and started shooting at police with a handgun. Officers returned fire, hitting her in the leg.
Her brothers Ryan, 21, and Dylan, 26, fled in a different directions and were arrested a short time later. One brother was apprehended with the help of construction workers who tackled and subdued him.
All three were arrested after the pursuit and gunfight south of the town of Pueblo.
Police recovered two AK-47 assault rifles and a MAC-11 pistol at the crash site. At least one of the AK-47s were used in the rolling gun battle with police.
Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said about the gang’s capture: ‘I’m proud to say we won. We continuously said that if these three fugitives wanted a battle with law enforcement, we would win that battle. And that’s what happened today.’
A Dominatrix’s True Tales: Exciting New Read!
This book sounds very intriguing and I can’t wait to download it to my kindle! In fact, I feel a little disappointed that I wasn’t aware it was released previously. Here is an article on NPR that discusses the book in greater detail and has the interview with the author:
[This interview was originally broadcast on March 8, 2010. Whip Smart is now available in paperback.]
Melissa Febos’ memoir, Whip Smart, details the four years she spent working as a dominatrix. Febos enacted fantasy sequences, spanked grown men and verbally humiliated them for $75 an hour in a dungeon located somewhere in midtown Manhattan.
Febos, who writes that she got started in sex work to pay for a drug habit, tells Terry Gross that working in a dungeon felt like “being in a womb.”
“Pretty much all of the dungeons were outfitted with some sort of coat rack-related thing that had all sorts of floggers, riding crops,” she says. “We had giant coils of rope in our utility closet — like thousands of feet that we would just cut off when you needed it. There were gas masks and cages and a big hanging Inquisition-style cage in the red room. And there were mirrors along all of the walls, and they were really vast — and with all of the walls and the ceilings painted, it had a very specific effect.”
That effect, says Febos, was creating a fantasy world for her clients — and for herself.
“In the beginning, it did feel pretty powerful to act out those roles, but after a little while it wasn’t my fantasy in most cases,” she says. “In a lot of ways, [enacting the scenarios] felt more humiliating to me than it did to them.”
Febos currently teaches writing at Utica College. She received an MFA from Sarah Lawrence College.
