Audacia on CNN (old clip from March)
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 […]
Both sides of the camera: story subject, story maker
As you might be able to tell from the radio silence here on Waking Vixen for the past bunch of weeks, I’ve been busy pursuing other stuff. That other stuff is primarily in the form of writing posts and shooting video for Naked City, though there’s other stuff in the works too (teaching my first […]
Naked City: a Village Voice blog about sex
I am newly gainfully employed, and it’s pretty much my dream job: I’m editing a brand spanking new sexuality blog for Village Voice Media. It’s called Naked City, and it went live this morning.

Sex workers and the sex industry are frequent topics in the media, whether as the center of a sex scandal, the subject of an expose, or as the source of discussion around sexuality and morality. This session, […]
Private bodies, public stories
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 […]
There is no list of 100 politicians, I promise
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.
