New brand-focused television, print and out-of-home ads encourage consumers to 'hook up fearlessly' with secret lovers during the holidays–including one execution of two men kissing which Virgin says will run nationally.""

"My story is set in the last two years of the 1980s, when I was separating from my wife, trying to figure out who I was supposed to be. The book chronicles my time building a nest with this man.

My boyfriend Jim and I had just broken up and I needed to escape. So I chose to run away and teach in China. I found an agent and, after a week of searching, she found me a job in a school just outside of Hong Kong. "No," I said, "it's too expensive to live there." I wanted to save money. The agent immediately got irritated and dumped me off onto her contact in China, Maggie. They weren't used to finicky students. With a lot of gentle persuasion, I got Maggie to start again. She said choose...
