Notes on Chicago and Activism

July 24th, 2008 at 5:00 am

The longer I go without blogging here, the more I feel like I need to re-enter with some grand statement. But that’s bullshit really. It’s just blogging, and its my own damn site, so I need to chill out. I’m trying to reorganize, re-align my priorities and all that junk. No reason I can’t do […]


Naked City Contest: Write a Verse to a Wet Spots Song!

July 8th, 2008 at 12:12 pm

The Wet Spots are a fantastic duo from Canada. From their website:
Picture a husband and wife team from the golden age of comedy. Now picture them singing sweetly about threesomes and taking it in the ass.
Internationally acclaimed cabaret duo The Wet Spots (Cass King and John Woods) write the most elegant songs about sex that […]

Amsterdam and the Pinched festival were ridiculously fun and amazing. i have some more thoughtful posts in the works about the people and the ideas I spent time with during my time in Amsterdam, but for now, let’s kick things off with some photos - and one video. I have more video on the way: […]


Adventures in Amsterdam!

June 18th, 2008 at 9:57 am

In twelve hours, I’ll be on a plane to Amsterdam and a total sex nerd extravaganza! I have a big pile of work to do before I go (eep), but I’m SO looking forward to getting out of New York for a while.
I’m going to Amsterdam for the Pinched festival, where I’m giving a […]


Never Would I Ever: Class and Elitism in the Sex Industry

June 16th, 2008 at 12:24 am

A few weeks ago, I was in the company of a fetish model who kept vociferously stating that she does not do nudity. She wasn’t responding to anyone asking her to spread her legs, she was just stating it for the record in a way that made it clear that she has a lot of […]


Frustration, Overload, and a Little Panic

June 10th, 2008 at 1:44 pm

This is a re-post of a ranty, frustrated post I put up on my Tumblr yesterday afternoon. I feel about 15% less insane than I did yesterday, but I still need fixing. Though I initially posted on Tumblr and tweeted my frustration so this wasn’t all front and center on my “official,” “professional” website - […]

Fourth Feminist Carnival of Sexual Freedom and Autonomy

June 2nd, 2008 at 3:10 am

Welcome to the fourth edition of the Feminist Carnival of Sexual Freedom and Autonomy! I’ve gathered a bunch of posts that I find interesting and thought-provoking - initially I tried to organize them according to different themes (sex and the law, sex work, porn, etc) but there was just too much cross-over. So you’ll just […]

Audacia on CNN (old clip from March)

May 16th, 2008 at 1:18 am

I finally got my hands on the clip of me on CNN Prime News from March 13th. In case you don’t recall, I got a call to do a segment on CNN Prime News. This was the day after “Eliot Spitzer’s call girl” - quotes because, what, he owns her? - got outed. The interview […]
