Viewing the ‘Media’ Category

I’m what you might call a voracious consumer of sex media, and though I share my thoughts on some of the stuff I’ve been gobbling up in my video reviews on Live Girl Review, I do most of my linking, bookmarking, and staking out of internet awesomeness away from my official blogs. Which might be […]

Since the end of last week I’ve been trying to take a step back from the media craziness. The Spitzer scandal and responding to the media around it was essentially all I did last week. As you might recall, I don’t work for any one organization, which meant that I could act fast on media […]

In between taking phone calls and doing CNN and all that stuff yesterday, I also had a bigger thing I was planning for: the inaugural fund raising event for Sex Work Awareness, a new non-profit started by some of the $pread staffers (myself included).
The event was hosted at Arena Studios in SoHo, and was well-attended […]

Though it’s pretty much unrelenting in the stream of requests and things I’ve been doing, this media stuff is actually getting better, partly because I’m getting better at it, partly because I’m getting more respect. This evening I was on CNN Headline News - seriously! - talking about the outed escort. It was… good. The […]

This morning I got a weird call from WBAI, a really terrific radio station in downtown Manhattan. They said they’d gotten a tip in a sketchy sounding message from a man this morning, saying that sex workers were preparing to release a list of 100 politicians in the United States who have hired sex workers.

That is a question I was asked in the process of being vetted for Live with Dan Abrams, a show on MSNBC that airs tonight - a show I won’t be appearing on.
You’ve probably heard about the Eliot Spitzer trafficking/hiring of a prostitute debacle by now, and it’s not going end with his resignation - […]

I think it definitely says something about the state of feminism and my personal relationship to feminism that the speaking engagement I’m getting most stressed about this spring is my workshop at the Women, Action and the Media conference in Boston at the end of this month. I’m doing a 90 minute workshop called “Sex […]

I seem to get the itch to redesign my site about every year and a half, for better or worse.
This week I’m introducing version 3.0 - yay! My main goal with this version was to make better and more thorough use of WordPress, to make things bigger and more readable, and to make it easier […]
