Sex workers, class divides, and fun with empowerment & degradation
I’ve been thinking a lot about some of the words that get thrown around when topics around sex work come up. The biggies, of course, are “empowerment” and “degradation.” I am planning on writing a whole other post about the word “empowerment”, so I’m going to gloss over the semantics for now, but the meat [...]
Tour roundup
Jeez, it took me a bit to get around to writing this… but, better late than never. Last Monday, Jamye, Eliyanna and I finally piled into my car around 1 pm, just after finding out that our first stop of the day, The Jersey Boys radio show, had been canceled. Apparently they’ve been having some [...]

The Final Day: Driving, Passional and Philly
How Eliyanna and I spent 7 hours on Friday. Well, I drove the first half, she did the second. She’s sporting a $pread fake tattoo, which is awesome. Upon arrival in Philly we went to the Mutter Museum (their tagline is “disturbingly informative” and it is). Lots of more (and more disturbing) photos are on [...]
Chapel Hill: Internationalist Books
This morning we went to Adam and Eve headquarters and took a tour of the offices and their warehouse.
From Baltimore to Durham
Today I didn’t have a book event, but we drove from Baltimore into DC to do some interviews for $pread, and then to Durham to eat delicious grilled meat and spend time with awesome company. But first! Early in the morning, after our breakfast at Bob Evans, we went to the Urology Museum just outside [...]
Baltimore: Red Emma’s
We got lost a lot today. I won’t go into details, but suffice to say that we saw a whole goddamn lot of Baltimore. I also did a really awesome radio interview for WYPR, the NPR station here in Baltimore, which I’ll post when I get the file. In the meantime: At Red Emma’s – [...]

And we’re off!
This lovely image, made by this dude greeted me from my inbox this morning. I’m going to be on the road in about an hour, roadtripping with Eliyanna and Jamye (well, Jamye just for today). I’m going to try to blog while I’m on the road, but if that doesn’t happen or is less than [...]
This week’s press/events wrap-up
IMG_0874 Originally uploaded by viviane212 Week two of book press insanity is behind me now, which is a bit of a relief, but some of the stuff I did/had written about me this week is definitely worth being proud of. On Monday morning I did a five minute appearance on the Brian Lehrer show on [...]
