November 27th, 2005

Shake out your holiday blues and swing into the LAST ACTUAL SPEAKEASY of 2005!   (Those in the know are already hip to the fact that Smart Gals' December Speakeasy happens by mail only, so get on the list if you don't want to miss this remote party.) The Evangenitals return victorious, matched by a worthy contender, Sex Machines creator Timothy Archibald , when publishing provocateurs Jodi Wille and Adam Parfrey unveil their new venture, Process Media Inc. November's bookmark artist is photographer Jeremy Roush .

Process Media is a book publishing house based in Los Angeles and formed from the collaboration of Adam Parfrey of Feral House and Jodi Wille of Dilettante Press.   www.processmediainc.com.
 
Sex Machines: Photographs and Interviews unveils an astonishing American subculture, and the homespun inventors and users who propel it. Meet a laid-off tech industry exec who transforms a thrift store pasta maker into a high-powered sexual appliance and a new career; an apocalyptic visionary who builds a sex machine prototype for female survivors of a future without men; and an Idaho cowboy who intends to use his device as a form of Christian-based marriage counseling.

Sex Machines celebrates the spirit of American ingenuity and bold approaches to an ever-changing sexual landscape.

Timothy Archibald’s photographs have appeared in New York Times Magazine, Newsweek, GQ, The New Yorker, and Outside Magazine, and in ad campaigns for Apple Computers, Eastman Kodak, and IKEA. Archibald lives in San Francisco with his wife, Cheri, and two sons, Elijah and Wilson. Sex Machines: Photographs and Interviews is his first book.



This month's bookmark by

Jeremy's current photography project is a book concerning the physics, generation, distribution, and consumption of electrons.

 





The Evangenitals

More on The Evangenitals:

The Evangenitals were once a fictitious band - a fib on a phony website born to amuse ourselves and maybe a few friends. On a whim, founders Juli Crockett, Lisa Dee, and Brett Lyda (who all work at the same sex toy company in L.A.) brought the ghost to life and debuted a handful of "hillbilly truck-stop lullabies" for Arlo's open mic at the infamous Mr T's Bowl. The crowd response was fanatical and the path was now clear. Remarkably, in just a few short months The Evangenitals have emerged as bonified headliners, packing houses and making converts, young and old, every inch of the way. The addition of bassist Jeff "gimme some sugar" Jones ratified the divine balance of Evangender- two dudes, two singing chicks, 3 nylon-string guitars, and a whole lotta loving! Juli is an undefeated professional boxer & ordained minister, Lisa Dee a trained opera singer, Jeff Jones a skateboarding ping pong master, and Brett... well, we call him Mr. Fantastic. Ladies and Gents... this is the goodness. www.evangenitals.com
