CineKink kicks off, and everything is a blur
October 18, 2006
Wha? Everything is feeling kind of insane these days, some good stuff, some very very bad. But, I soldier on.
I used to be able to at least blog quickly enough that I knew what the hell was going on from week to week, but these days have been so consumed by… stuff… that it’s tough to do even that.
Anyway, last night was the kickoff party for CineKink, at which The Wet Spots wowed the shit out of everyone. I saw them play for the first time at the New York Burlesqu Festival in… 2005? I think? Anyway, their song “Do You Take It?” had me in awe then and they’ve only gotten better, funnier, and more awesome since then. They are truly excellent comedians - they perfectly ride that fine line between offensive and hilarious because they know what they’re talking about. One of their newer songs is about a particular squick of Cass’, toe-licking, which happens to be one of my favorite things. But the way she sings about it is hilarious, and also ery very clear that its her personal squick, not something she judges others on. Plus they are foxy, which always counts big in my book.
Here they are, doing their song “Ain’t No Dildos in Texas” (“marital aids” are also illegal in 5 other states)

In other news, Rachel Kramer Bussel wrote $pread up as the Best Sex Worker Support System in the Village Voice: One-year-old $pread Magazine tackles the pleasures, passions, issues, and controversy over sex work with a twist that’s rarely seen in other media: It’s by and for sex workers. Instead of having to justify their existence, these writers and subjects, both male and female, can explore everything from menstruation porn to activism to the mechanics of their jobs.
