I went to the Sex Worker’s Art Show. It was great. I saw the cutest japanese burlesque performer. Her name was Erochica Bamboo, Miss Erotic World 2003.
There were many readings of poetry and prose, as well as film. The last film of the evening was a very chilling piece. The woman who shot the film was Ariel Lightningchild.

All the evening we heard mostly from anglo sex workers. All of them were very well spoken and intelligent, but in the end it was when we were shown Ariel’s work. She talks about herself as not being intelligent and that being American Indian is something she has often lied about in sex work. I think the film was a testimony as to her intelligence.

UNFORTUNATELY, being sick out in the cold air last night has left me with almost no voice and I have to sing at the OffBeat event TONIGHT! I am drinking hot jell-o to salvage my voice.
