Violet Blue Goes On The Tyra Banks Show, Lives To Tell
After reading her porn-for-women article in O Magazine, a clearly horny Tyra Banks invited former SFist contributor Violet Blue to be a panelist on the Tyra Banks Show (think the Oprah Winfrey Show, but unwatchable) to chat about porn for women. Although a rich and thoughtful tet-a-tet was not to had during filming, thanks to the titular host, Violet did learn what some have already known but dared not to whisper: Tyra Banks is insane.
Apparently, she's crazier than most of us thought. La Banks demanded such absurdity as Violet covering up her tattoos (which she refused to do), having Violet's answers pre-written for her by her staff (really, Tyra?), and much more.
Watch and listen to Violet's brilliant yet horrifying tale here. Read about it here.

She should turn that whole experience into another article and submit it to O magazine,
it's pretty juicy..
Violet Blue is a municipal treasure.
If Ferlinghetti gets a cul-de-sac, and Herb Caen gets a "Way" ... I say we continue the tradition of honoring local writers who embody our civic virtues. (And doing it while they're still alive.)
I nominate Otis Street for Via Violet. It's a block away from Kink.com and standing on the southwest corner outside of the Power Exchange, one can see the beginnings of the Haight, the Mission, SOMA and the Castro. That's five neighborhoods! Truly the center of SF.
Let's do this thing.
I hear sales of the Tyra Banks RealDoll are zero; they are just sitting in the warehouse....
I wouldn't waste my come on the face of a Tyra Banks realdoll.
I'd have some sympathy for Ms. Blue if she weren't such a crappy writer! That the Chronicle can't find a better sex writer in this town tells me they must be hiring mediocre on purpose!
And you might not be surprised that sfgate.com deletes most of the Readers' Comments that criticize the style (rarely the substance) of her columns but they usually don't get to this purge until the late afternoon.
Readers' comments or YOUR comments?
Hiding the Guest Comments seems like a good idea.
Violet Blue gets a standing O!
You know, you people are really nice to Violet Blue compared to SFGate commenters.
SF eats its own, thats one thing you can say about this sad, jaded town.
So this Violet person does mannequin hair?
Yeah, I think she's not a great writer, and the porn thing is overrated, declasse, and done to death. I miss the days when you had to get it in a brown paper wrapper. Why do any of us know who this person is, anyway?
