Paul Janka Did Not Date Rape Me Last Night

I went on a "date" with self-professed "Casanova" Paul Janka last night. Or well, I went to his apartment. He sniffed my feet. He showed me his bunk bed. It was more like a "play date" actually, only with a dog in heat. It was kind of fun! But not as fun as telling people about it after I narrowly escaped. More »

Neil Strauss Joins Forces With '80s TV Dweebs To Teach More Men How To Build "Keno"

Neil Strauss, the The Game author who introduced the world to Mystery and who we can also probably blame for Paul Janka, will soon be dispensing dating tips on MySpace TV with the aid of Corin "Corky" Nemec of Parker Lewis Can't Lose and David Faustino of Married With Children. But since such two iconic figures as Faustino and Nemec obviously don't need the help of a 5'5" bald writer dude in elevator shoes to get chicks, Neil presents them with obstacles to illustrate the pickup power of his tricks. As he explains in his statement:
After watching David Faustino get actual phone numbers with, for example, his identity concealed, his hands tied, and his mouth duct-taped, no guy should ever have to fear approaching a woman under normal circumstances again.
Oh Jesus, they concealed identities here? More »

Obama On SNL: The Only Thing More Awesome Is Bill Clinton Dressed Up As "Mystery"


Barack Obama was on SNL over the weekend, in a skit about Halloween with the Clintons that was literally written for us Slutty Anxious Females who Vote like us. It's great, though maybe he says the "Live from New York" with a little too much force given the "Born to be mild" rep? (Also, he declined to do a skit about how he's distant cousins with Dick Cheney.) There are requisite but funny references to hot monetary policy fetishist Elizabeth Kucinich, and Al Gore, but my favorite part of this was the fact that all weekend, when CNN was running the clip to add much-needed substance to what seemed to be an all-Pakistan news diet, anchors kept referring to the Clintons' costumes as those of a "bride and groom," when Bill's costume was OMG So Much Awesomer!

Selling Shoes Is A Fine Art Of Seduction

"You've got to romance her a bit, talk to her, and let her give you vibes of what she wants... You gotta know when to back off, when to push it. You have to be sharp." No, that isn't The Pick Up Artist star Mystery giving pointers on how to get a drunk woman into bed, it's Frank Guzzone, longtime Bloomingdale's employee and one of a breed of old-school shoe salesmen lurking among New York City's fancier department stores. We say "lurking" because, well, what else are you gonna call a middle-aged guy who fondles female feet for a living, refers to shoes as "sexual", accepts chocolates from satisfied clients and keeps a notebook with the names, numbers, and pedi-preferences of hundreds if not thousands of women?

My Mid-Morning Conversation With VH1's "Mystery"

Today the esteemed news service Afrojacks posted a number purporting to belong to VH1 Pick-Up Artist Mystery, host of VH1's The Pick-Up Artist. I dialed it, and was greeted by a welcoming voice. Then, a disconnect. Then, a ring! I picked up and commenced conversing with a man caller ID identified as VON MARKOVIC, ER on subjects ranging from lesbian porn to his love of the band Tool to Scott Baio's shortcomings to period sex to Carl Sagan to his appreciation for the art of mutual posterior-licking. And not to indulge in such a thing, but I was charmed! After the jump, the full text of my conversation, or at least, some version of the full text based on what I typed while trying to think of what the fuck someone who actually knew if Eric Von Marcovik was Mystery (Google: yes) would ask the most famous man in the world.
