Media bits!
August 11, 2006
Its time for some fun media stuff… because I’m all over the goddamn place, little media whore that I am.
First up, a wee mention of my movie in Rachel Kramer Bussel’s Village Voice column this week. Reading that first line made me laugh and remember, yeah I did say that - and many other ridiculous things - during the shoot. And yes, Rachel has a cameo in the movie that involves cupcakes. But no, I did not insert any jokes about ham sandwiches. What kind of person do you think I am?
Also, really exciting press is in the Fall issue of Bitch. 
The magazine’s publisher, Debbie Rasmussen, interviewed the four $pread editors about our magazine and our work, and it became a six-page piece. Its most excellent coolness to get interviewed in a magazine I’ve been reading since I was a teenager.
And one I keep forgetting to mention that was done a while ago but you won’t get to see til next year. While we were in Las Vegas last month, Eliyanna and I got interviewed for a Sundance channel mini-documentary series on prostitution, with a special focus on Nevada. We offered our points of view on decriminalization and destigmatization of sex workers in a studio where the AC had to be turned off so as not to adversely affect the sound. It was 120 degrees that day, but we look cooler than cucumbers on the monitor.
I also spent some time this afternoon looking through $pread’s Flickr account, where there are lots of photos of our parties over the past year and a half, plus candids from our two retreats and our time in Vegas, all of course taken by the lovely Erin Siegal. There’s some really good stuff in there, but I love this photo of (l-r) Astrid, me, Eliyanna and Rachel in a casino in Vegas last month. Yes, Astrid and Eliyanna are wearing goofy sunglasses inside. It made the casino more bearable, plus they look awesome-o.

Congratulations Dacia. It’s great to see you getting recognition, especially in such a fab publication as Bitch. I’ve been a reader, and an admirer, of your blog for over a year now. It’s fantastic to hear about all the awesome projects you’re involved with, and to know that your voice is getting heard off as well as online. Good luck with everything.
