As you may remember, our editor and her arch-nemesis, AfterDark LA's chief writer Barbie Davenporte, had a little duel (do you really us to tell you who won the duel? Please. Like it was ever in question. Let's not applaud the tenor for clearing his throat). From among the voters, each blog selected a favorite comment. The big reveal comes at the end of this post. But first, get a load of what the prize (valued at around $300) holds:

Boa Pleasure Ties by Lelo, $79.00

With pouches of pearls at one end balancing metal rings at the other, Lelo's silk restraints offer bring design to restraint play. Looping the ties through the rings, a partner can be held by either ankles or wrists in the ways that excite them most. The pearls serve another purpose as well: when draped over a door that is then closed behind, they are large enough to stop the ties from being pulled through, ensuring the most passionate possibilities in bedroom play.

We love nudity and all things erotic and are always looking for sites to ogle. And what better way to do this than within a feed? Granted, most porn sites don't allow that. But the blogging platform Tumblr has a feed built in, which means that without leaving the Tumblr dashboard, you can effectively access all the filth you could ever want. Even if you're at work -- so long as your office hasn't blacklisted Tumblr, that is.

We have compiled a list of sites to get you started.

Please note you need a Tumblr account to "follow" these blogs and receive their feeds in your Tumblr dashboard. Have fun -- you can thank us later.

3:00AM, long past last call, but the Roosevelt is a hotel, which means it's always open. They may not be able to legally serve you a drink, but that's an easy fix if you remember your college days. Or high school days -- hey, we're not judging. Hit 25 Degrees for a float, then sneak off down to the lobby and under the stairs, down the hall to the bathroom.

MyStudio
6623 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028

Now you too can hang out at a photog's chic studio and mingle with the models, sipping your poison of choice. Syndicate Hospitality (who, incidentally, brought you MyHouse) don't disappoint with MyStudio, from the baby grand to the casting couch. You have arrived. Keep in mind the place is slammed by 11PM and you should avoid the madness getting in. Call up Sam Kavka if you're down, see if he can hook you up: 347-342-2153

The L.A. Film Festival may have moved from Westwood to downtown, but that's no reason to skip out on the fun. We've handpicked four flicks that are bound to result in some proper lovin', too. That's how cool we are.

On the rooftop at The Kress
6608 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028
Fridays 10PM to 2AM

With bottle service and full bar at your disposal, this is the most happening rooftop party you can hope for this side of town -- with a 360 degree view of said town to boot. DJ and lounge tunes, moderate noise levels, little hideaway corners and pods for getting the real fun started -- you name it.

It's a rough economy, believe us, we know. It's not easy looking like we do and paying the rent. Don't worry -- we've got your back. Our obsessive crawling of Craigslist's back alleys always turns up something entertaining. Here are our top picks for the week:

​

This weekend is a big deal -- and not because it's Memorial Day weekend. No, it's the opening weekend of Sex and the City 2 and every bar in town seems to be offering themed drinks and specials to lure the ladies, who will undoubtedly be traveling in packs and unfettered. Hollywood douchebag or not, your chances grow exponentially after a movie centered on beating the wife and motherhood doldrums by embracing cocktails and risky flirtations.
