SEX / TV What The Hell Am I Doing In LA?

In case you are wondering why I've been in LA all month (I know my boyfriend has), I'm working on what's called "a non-airing presentation pilot for HBO." Or... "Savage Love," the (potential) TV show. According to a draft of press release that's sitting on my desk here at HBO—in my own office! with a lock on the door! I could be naked in here!—"Savage Love," the (potential) teevee show, "will focus on current events and cultural trends with sex as the filter." I'm hoping to bring a new kind of conversation to TV about sex—an honest conversation, one that's informed without being (too) wonky, funny without being (too) cruel, sexy without being (too) cheesy. Basically, my sex-advice column—but on the teevee!

If any of you guys are in LA next Thursday or want to come to LA next Thursday to be a part of the live studio audience at the taping of the "Savage Love" pilot—I'll save you a seat, Loveschild!—you can get tickets by clicking here.

I know, right?

Didn't MTV already do this with Undressed? Haha. Okay. I'm kidding. You got me.

Or with loveline? Hopefully there are more facets besides Dan answering questions. Has potential to be a good idea. Good luck!
