(Videos above taken from Reunion Weekend 2007.)

Last week a Penn alum randomly emailed me and told me he shared my DT site with one of his friends who graduated in 1995. His friend emailed him back with the following ...and I couldn't have asked for a more meaningful quote:

"I got all misty-eyed looking at the Dueling Tampons site. I mean it gave me sense memory of Penn... of the Walk when it was cold, or being in McNeill with Abiel, or being in German class, or taking 20 extra minutes to get to class because of the crowded Walk, or people that sat in my classes that are now really famous or important... just a great site"
-Chris Hartwell, C'95

And then, this past weekend, Joan, another Penn alum, IMed me on facebook with the following:

"Just want to thank you for all you are doing re: DT. You've reenergized my feelings toward Penn and now I have a son who plans on applying to Penn"
-Joan

As I approach year 2 with DT, please continue to let me know about your stories and what new and exciting features you would like me to promote!  Thank you!

"I think it's fair to say that audiences are exhausted right now with the serious work. That doesn't mean that we don't have serious work in the festival, we do, but some people's take on the depressing world out there is to laugh at it be irreverent. So that's what you're going to see this year at Sundance a lot of irreverence."

"Porn is awesome. Many women my age understand porn is just sexual stimulation — not competition.”

Got your attention?

This quote comes from undergrad aspiring journalist and college magazine editor Jessica Gold Haralson (C'08) in this month's Playboy college edition. Jessica was invited to speak at a college roundtable of journalists from colleges with an interest in sexuality.

Jessica is quite the emerging writer with a unique voice. She started a campus smart-sex magazine, works at Penn’s Kelly Writers House, and is currently interning at smart smut publication Nerve.com. She edits the Nerve Video Blog and is a research assistant for Nerve culture blog Scanner. In addition, she serves as an editorial/PR assistant to Philadelphia-based journalist Stephen Fried.

Last year she started Quake Magazine (her erotica publication) and per Jessica, "it is no longer a print publication, but look out for an online version this winter."

Be sure to bookmark that one!

If you’d like to know more, please shoot her a line at jgh@sas.upenn.edu. She would love to hear from you!
