Abby's Bio
Abby Ehmann is a self-described "smutmeister" and in her
capacity as a writer she has covered almost every conceivable sexual
topic: obscure fetishes and carnal obsessions, nightclubs and erotic
events, sex toys, adult DVDs, not to mention tales of her personal
sexploits. She is currrently working as an Event Planner and also
serves as a Regional Contact for Burning
Man. Not really living in any one place these days, she mostly
shuttles between New York City and San Francisco and the Black Rock
Desert.
WRITING
Abby's most recent freelance work can be found at
ErosZine.com, which "published" its last issue on February 19,
2008. But her inimitable writing style has appeared both online and in
print. She has
been published in Penthouse Forum, Penthouse Variations, Screw,
Hustler, SexyNYC, Live Girls, Leg Sex, Panty Play, Big Butt, Leg World,
Playboy's rouze.com, The Museum of Sex's theposition.com, Dirty and New
Rave. She has reviewed porn videos for Adam Film World and Fox magazine
as well as her current reviews for ErosZine. Her short stories have
appeared in the literary periodical Verbal Abuse and Coming Up: The
World's Best Erotic Writing. Ms. Ehmann has also contributed non-adult
content to The New York Press, Soho Journal, The Resident and Paper's
online zine papermag.com.
EDITRIX
In addition to her writing experience Abby served as a staff
of one for Extreme Fetish magazine, acting as editor, art director, ad
exec, columnist and production manager. Prior to that she dreamt up and
distributed Porn Free, her theme-based fanzine that was, yes, free. And
she was, once upon a time, the editor known as Big Red of Outlaw Biker
magazine. She got her start in erotica as an Associate Editor for
Penthouse Forum, working for legendary domina and editor V.K. McCarty.
EVENTS
Abby also continues to be one of Manhattan's preeminent party
impresarios. Over the years she has produced a number of exciting
soirees. Her current and most popular recurring event is Mondo Porno, a
bi-annual rock 'n' roll meets smut extravaganza. The party has expanded
beyond the five boroughs to San Francisco, Boston and Las Vegas. She
has curated BDSM play parties and on-site sex events. For four years
she served as "Kink Control" of the weekly cyber-fetish soiree Click +
Drag at Mother in Manhattan's
Meat
Packing District followed by being the grand dame of Gomorrah, a weekly
fetish theme party that enjoyed a three-year run. Concurrent with
Gomorrah, Abby enjoyed a respite from the usual raunch by producing
Kitsch Inn, a weekly evening of rock 'n' roll debauchery. She has
served as MC and/or Hostess for assorted Manhattan events, including BadAss Burlesque, The Black
& Blue
Ball,
The Goddess Ball and The Miss Fetish New York Pageant. In her more
cultural capacity, she curated a lecture series at Manhattan's Museum of Sex, booked talent
for Rupert Murdoch's Christmas Party, Princeton University's Class
of 1985 20 Year Reunion.
MEDIA
Abby has been interviewed for sex-related television segments
around the world, appearing on MetroTV's Naked New York with Bob
Berkowitz, HBO's Real Sex, Zine TV, The Malignant Muse and NY Now, as
well as Real Personal, Change of Heart and Court TV's Snap Judgment.
She has been a guest on The Radio Chick Show, Ron & Fez Show, The
Alan Colmes Show, The Opie and Anthony Show, Taboo Talk and Bob
Berkowitz's online radio show Sex Bytes. She has appeared in episodes
of Canada's SexTV, German TV's Liebe Sunde and the British series
Paradise Island. Evidently there are even more outlets broadcasting her
words, since people often tell her they heard her interviewed online on
Nerve.com and other similar sites. I'm sure you can probably find her
on YouTube, like almost every other American. She's been an extra in a
few friends' porn videos and you can see her in the Behind the Scenes
footage of Jamye Waxman's Personal Touch sex education DVD series from
Adam & Eve. Oh, and she shows up dressed as Santa's Helper in
Bravo's 100 Best Things About the Holidays.
