25 Years of the work of Photographer Steve Diet Goedde

What brings The Filthy Book Reader back to the blogosphere?
A Three Volume set ,comprising the body of work by Steve Diet Goedde, celebrating 25 years of beauty and art in fetish photography!
Wrap your head around 25- TWENTY FIVE- years of this artist's work and it's impact on the adult, fetish and fetish fashion world. Work starting in Chicago, shot of film, to digital and iphone images of late created in his homebase, Los Angeles...




As I started creating corsets 13 years ago under an exquisite moniker (long story... I'll tell ya sometime), I had the pleasure of meeting many of the best fetish photographers and loaning my corsets to them. I have been extremely fortunate and have always loved knowing I was a small part of fetish photography history. I met Steve formally through raconteur and guy-about-town Clint Catalyst and "So Hip It Hurts" latex creator, Molly McGee.... I worked with Molly in another industry at the time (creature effects.. long story. One day.) Clint liked my work and believed in me.

If your work is good, you get to keep working with good people... I'm so proud that my corsets were beautiful enough to be included in the imagery created by some of the best west coast fetish photographers. I hope to speak more of greats like Christine Kessler and Carlos Batts, among others, in future blogs... but back to Steve!
Donate! Get in with the crowdfunding and help create his seminal volume of 25 years of his work. Imagine the best photo you saw of Midori, or Kumi Monster, probably wearing latex, and I bet it was a Steve DG photo.

Here's images from his photoshoot with America's Next Top Model, Lisa D'Amato, wearing my corsets. Orchestrated by Clint and Molly, Make-up by Catherine Crump, All around great guy, O'Shea.





Steve's Instagram, cuz he's really prolific.

Digging away, the moments that make up a dull day...

You know who's cute?
Young David Gilmour AND Old David Gilmour. Cute.

He looks like he could be strolling through Silverlake and Los Feliz right now... cuz EVERY STRAIGHT GUY IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKS LIKE JOHN TAYLOR CIRCA 1974. Seriously. It's getting old.
But young David Gilmour is cute. Just want to put that out there while I'm enjoying my sunny Cali Saturday afternoon.


I'm here on a Saturday, working on a giant corset order, watching "Which One's Pink?" on VH1, wondering if I could actually find the time to start blogging again.
I feel like I need a Tumblr for this because I love photos. But then, I always have something sexual, political, topical or rock 'n ' rollah to write about. And I also want to write things for viewers of "Is This Normal?", our internet talkshow produced by The Center for Positive Sexuality, http://positivesexuality.org/
I don't want to write notes on Facebook, because my page is more for family and work people, but I sure do wish Blogger posted a thumbnail image when you post a link, like Facebook. I really, really like that.
So we'll see if I can get to this and get back to some kind of writing... it used to be fun, even if it was pretty lightweight and of no substance... substance to me!


I found a bookstore.
Let me repeat: I found a bookstore. That's important in this day and age when the book store is an endangered species. It's Alias Books in Atwater... I was strolling, going to Starbucks, procrastinating on getting back to work. I was floored and almost thought I was going to start crying. It's a used book store, heavy on art, sex and politics. Heaven, right?
www.aliasbookseast.com   I walked right up to a Shere Hite book and that was it....
Women as Revolutionary Agents of Change: The Hite Reports and Beyond... let me see if I actually get some reading done and be able to blog about it. I'm only posting the Amazon listing in case you're interested, but by all means, get thee to a real bookstore. Since it was used, I bought the last one at Alias Books East.  I almost bought a book called "Female Masculinity" right next to it, but I gotta save sumthin' fer later. I will be back.

I can say that there is never a dull day in my life. There are lonely days, stressed days, uneasy days, but never bored and dull. I can think of something good and constructive to do every minute of every day and the only thing keeping me from most of this is work, work, work, to pay bills, bills, bills... it's still my goal to gain my freedom from the indentured servitude to debt. I'm thinking my goal should be to have a life like a 17 year old boy in 1967 with a copy of Kerouac's "On The Road".... why not? I'm not buying a house and I will not- I repeat- not be getting a cat or any other pet.

We've created a Facebook page for "Is This Normal?" in order to promo more and get viewers.
I'm having a hard time finding the correct URL to paste here, but it's possible that a search of "  IsthisNormal PositiveSex " may get you to it.

In closing, I'd like to point out that in view of Rush Limbaugh's recent comments about wanting all women who get free birth control to submit videos of themselves having sex (because "they are getting paid to have sex"), Rush likes to watch. Rush is a freak. That doesn't come out of your mouth so easily unless you are... regardless of how inflammatory you think you are. That sort of thing is on your mind and part of your lifestyle.
I can think of a few choice things I'd like to do to Rush that involve him being tied up, restrained, and the letters C, B and T and we film it... but the problem is, he would probably love it and that's not fun.
