After getting acquainted with Maitresse Madeline, a somewhat unfamiliar face around Kink.com, Profiles in Kink decided to interview a model who has been working with Kink.com for over five and a half years: Madison Young. Having appeared on Kink.com as a bottom, a top, a wrestler, a 24/7 submissive to boyfriend James Mogul, and a driven gallery owner and artist, Madison Young has clearly shown us many sides of herself. But we wanted to probe a little deeper into the mind of this kinky feminist and learn a bit more about what makes her tick, what makes her talk, and what makes her cum.

The 2009 GayVN Award nominations were just announced and it's an interesting lot, to say the least (19 different guys nominated for best actor ... really?). While it's great that for the first time ever, they're recognizing online contributions, there are some glaring omissions (Sean Cody and Randy Blue not nominated for best site? Leo Gamiani (SIC) nominated for Best Web Performer but not Reese Rideout or Corbin Fisher's Dawson?)

In a related note, NakedSword is presenting this year's awards and they're going to be hosted by Janice Dickinson, Margaret Cho, and Alec Mapa. They're returning to the Castro Theater, so it should be fun regardless.

Take a gander at the bloated robust list over at The Sword and share your thoughts.
