If you like this sort of thing, you'll love this book.

The concept is fairly simple. Ellen Forney selects a personal ad each week from the Lustlab section of Seattle's alt-weekly newspaper, The Stranger. Glomming onto the strange fetishes, delights, perversions, desires and kinks of her selection, she reworks it into an illustration and dubs it the "Lustlab Ad of the Week." This book, Lust, is a collection of those illustrations.

Her art is certainly fun, and it captures the spirit of the selected ads quite well. So, if you want a visual to go with "Spandex & Lycra-loving M eager to try pantyhose encasement," or if you prefer "Fire fetishist sub F seeks M, F or C doms to play with flames, floggers, handcuffs & group sex," or if you're curious about "Long, long legs... high, high heels... nasty, nasty thoughts," or if you'd like something as simple as a "libidinous aerialist" -- this book has your thing. Perhaps you're curious about the "two Girl Scouts looking for some tasty new cookies" or the guy who believes "Sex should begin as poetry ... and end as a war. Or maybe you just really have a yearning for the man who's into "Extremely short or long toes, webbed toes, missing toes or toenails, bunions, corns, really tiny feet, dry, rough, calloused feet...."

Like, really, dude. Ick.

If you want more -- and if you made it this far, heck, why not? -- the volume also includes several interviews Ellen conducted with Lustlab veterans.

I have to say, this nicely presented book from Fantagraphics just isn't to my taste. But then, as it so clearly illustrates, people's tastes can be very, very, and I do mean very unique. So don't take my word for it -- you might find something in here that's just for you.
