The 2010 NYC Sex Blogger Calendar is unique in bringing together several of NYC’s writers, filmmakers and sex educators with twelve outstanding photographers and incorporating the participation of the larger sex-positive community to our efforts to support Sex Work Awareness. Last year’s calendar made the Speak Up! media training for sex workers possible and with our community’s continued support, who knows what we can accomplish this year!

In addition to sponsorship opportunities, which you can learn about by emailing nycsexbloggerscal [at] gmail.com, you can purchase a day on the calendar and put an 80 character message on it. Wish someone a happy birthday or blogoversary, or just advertise for your blog or other project. Each day is $10, or for $30 you can get a day and pre-order the calendar, which will be available in November 2009. Click on the graphics below to buy days, and be sure to tell us the date you want in the “special shipping instructions” box.

This is the second of two videos I shot at the sex blogger calendar shoot at the end of September. It’s shorter, a bit sweeter, and shows a lot more of our outfits.

The big calendar bash is this Friday, November 14th from 6.30-9.30 pm at The White Rabbit, 145 East Houston. There will be raffles of amazing stuff, plus gift bags for the first 100 people who come to the event. There are sex bloggers coming into NYC from all over the country to hang out at the party, get their calendar ($20 each) and support Sex Work Awareness. Pretty excellent.

I’ve been pretty immersed in my work at the International Women’s Health Coalition, plus teaching my human sexuality class at Rutgers University, so I haven’t really been coming up for air at all – I do have stories to tell, but not a lot of time or energy to tell them.

I do have a smidgen of my writing to share with you though to tide you over – I wrote up Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno for Premiere. It’s a pornographer’s perspective on the movie, which overall I thought was damned hilarious.

Anyway, if you’re in NYC, come on out to the calendar party on Friday. It should be a good time indeed.

Though I think I look plenty lovely in front of the camera (in my humble opinion), these days I’m much more eager to be behind the camera – video camera especially. During the shoot that we did for the calendar on September 28th, I shot a bunch of video, and I’ve managed to whittle it down into two different segments. One is the below behind the scenes video, which is just shy of eight minutes long. It’s totally rough and doesn’t have much of a flow to it, but it’ll give you a peek at us putting together our outfits, getting our hair and makeup done, and making our way to the shoot itself. I’ve got another video that will be a bit more revealing that will go up about a week and a half before the launch party.

Oh, launch party? Yes, of course there’s a party. Friday November 14th from 6.30 to 9.30 pm there will be a party for the calendar at White Rabbit, at 145 East Houston. There will even be some sex bloggers present from out of town. Calendars will be for sale for $20 a pop and there will be raffles and giveaways too.

Enjoy the video!
