• A father and his daughter bond through tales of homoerotic he-men in their underwear and the Japanese adventures of superhuman hydrocephalics.

• "Lindsay, tell your brother he has a beautiful body."

• The erotic art of Mariano Vargas. I'm particularly enamored with his take on Da Vinci's Lady With Ermine, a painting that held me rapt the very first moment I saw it in the varnish.

• "Always a romantic about herself, Leni Riefenstahl promoted the idea that all men were slavishly in love with her."
