ABSTRACT – RACHEL KRAMER BUSSEL – aka Lusty Lady - http://www.rachelkramerbussel.com/Web site for a leading New York based
erotica writer. As the Editor of Playboy’s variations, and numerous collections of erotic work, many writers will be indebted to her support in their careers. The website promotes her public readings and writer’s tours, and gives the details of an interview with the author by Susie Bright, editor of the Best American Erotica year books (the text of the interview itself is on Susie Bright’s own web pages). RKB’s own output is quite substantial. She writes, edits, and runs a regular magazine column. She plugs other writers who share anthology space with her such as those in the Naughty Spanking Stories From A-Z collection. With a degree in Political science and women’s studies, she is an undoubtedly highly intelligent woman. From the various photographs and cartoons of her, she is also a very attractive young lady. She seems too young to have such a lengthy resume of high quality work as she presents for us. It is a heady enigmatic rare combination that helps to secure her a great deal of media attention, which she uses very efficiently. Her web pages list many appraisals of her work. Writing as Lusty Lady, she has a Sex And The City style column in The Village Voice, with catching provocative article titles like ‘Long Live Blowjob Nation’ and ‘Meet The Boobisexuals’, which you can read on the website itself. There is a definite tongue n cheek air of mischief about RKB too. She plays on her love of cupcakes as a fetish, and gives links to cupcake web pages too. She clearly enjoys her work a great deal, and who could blame her? RKB is very keen to communicate with her fans, and she has an occasional newsletter, which she sends out to anyone leaving their e-mail addresses with her through the web site, and her business address, and e-mail contact details are also readily available. She is undoubtedly one of the most important names in Erotica today.
