Baseline task: survive March. Goal: do it with fucking panache. I’m on my way.
Last night I had dinner with the lovely Cherry Bomb, and we agreed that doing what we do (with the naked and the writing) is only really fully worth it if we make connections with other people. Its “easy” to not do that - well, easy for hermity me anyway, but only because taking the first steps to reach out to people is hard. Going it alone is far harder. We also talked a lot about the value of sharing bad sex experiences, which I know is a serious boner biter, but what can I say. Its a part of the picture (and goddammit, I need to podcast my WYSIWYG piece).
After dinner we went to the Sex Workers Art Show where I heard someone behind me comment that the audience was like a who’s who of hip sex worker activists. The show was different than past years - for one thing, there was a hell damn lot of full nudity. Now, I’m no prude, but I was really surprised to see bare nipples, and later in the show full bush, as the whole nudity + alcohol thing is a big no-no in the empire state. No one seemed to mind horribly though, and I was delighted to see that the girls who went sans culottes were sporting nice big fluffy pubes. What kind of sex workers have pubes? Awesome ones.
I didn’t have enough time today to soak up the awesomeness of the full launch of SugarClick, which since I announced it here last week has gotten Fleshbotted and praised by Wired and mentioned on AVN Online. And then there’s that whole 10,000 unique visitors in the first week thing. Not to brag, but SugarClick is awesome.
This evening I headed out to Bella Vendetta’s 25th birthday party, which though I was feeling cranky and reluctant to leave the house, was totally worth going to, as always. There was fire spinning, bondage (with cupcakes), a live radio broadcast, and miscellaneous awesomeness, plus seeing Ms B always brightens my day. Though I’m not really involved with the whole BME scene, I have lots of respect for those folks, and I can say that beyond a shadow of a doubt that people with tattooed faces and various things etched, stretched and implanted into their skin are some of the nicest fucking people I’ve met. Nicer than sex people even. Or maybe I’m just saying that because I don’t have to deal with them all the time.
I didn’t get to blog against sexism today, but I think I did my small part by deleting an application for the open SugarClick writer job because it was addressed “Dear Sirs.” Okay - seriously, this means that the applicant didn’t check out the bio page on SugarClick, which lists three women. Also, its 2006 and “dear sirs” is just not fucking appropriate. Deleted, motherfucker.
I should’ve just gone straight to bed when I got home tonight, but instead, with the blogging. And now, with the sleep, and then the doing of insanity all over again.

You mentioned podcasting, and so I was curious about the specifics of doing it since I know very little about it. Plus, being a computer-geek, I felt the urge to at least research it.
I found the following link which seemed pretty informative, but also assumes that you know as little as I do about podcasting. It might be helpful, and might just be redundant to your current knowledge.

Who, the pubes thing is back, huh? You’re the second person to remark that. Why aren’t my clients into that? I would gladly not get waxed every 3 weeks… I never went through all this body bling before I was a call girl.
