Just in time for Mother's Day, let's explore the sensual side of green. If the mating habits of insects like the earthworm, bee and dragon fly can be sensual, that is. Who better than hot mama, Isabella Rossellini, to dress up in bug costumes and explore the "strange and scandalous ways that insects copulate"? Lest you think she is just the pretty face in this short film series, you would do well to know that Green Porno (yes, that is the name!) was also conceived, written and co-directed by Rossellini. The series was recently featured at the Sundance, Berlin and Tribeca Film
Festivals where audiences were left shocked and, quite like myself, in stitches.
Now you will get to enjoy it too - and without the prying eyes of other audience members as you watch the series on your iPhone, iPod, Zune, cell phone, or home computer.

ask mr. greenWho Is Your Daddy and What Is He To Do?
Dear Mr. Green,
I'm an eco-minded family man, looking for an eco-friendly way to spend Mother's Day with my wife and kids. I know all about the "stuff" I can buy her that leaves less of a carbon footprint on the earth, like recycled gold jewelry and fresh, locally grown flowers, but after all the recycled wrapping paper has been torn, what can we do as a family to celebrate the mother of us all - Mother Earth?
Signed,
Mama's Boy
