A Fantastic Nightmare

Recently, I thought about where I was in my own career – sex work and writing – and I realized that I’m 24 years old and while I have been very fortunate to do well as a sex worker, it’s not the direction I truly intended for myself. » Read the rest of this entry «

This really cool article features opinions from various performers in the adult industry. A major issue that comes up with anyone who is a sex worker is identity and privacy. How can one balance a personal life and private life? Or can the two live harmoniously as one all-encompassing identity, one that’s three dimensional and open to all reception, both positive and negative. » Read the rest of this entry «

Recently, I’ve been asked what I believe women want or need. And I thought… oh silly rabbit. You’re looking for answers in all the wrong places.

Firstly, it’s a sad assumption that all of our gender is looking for one thing. I dare not impede upon another woman’s wants because I know hers are most likely different than my own. And I wouldn’t want a man who think he has a clue; it only means he assumed way too much and deserves a right proper kick to the balls and/or shin  (if you want to be nice about it).

Here I’ll explain my own wants, which change as most things tend to do over time.

Hello friends!

So I wanted to take a break from writing essays about feminism and sex and slut theories to talk about what’s going on my side of the computer… with a focus on my e-book in particular.

I do have an e-book available for purchase, and it’s only a dollar! Not bad, eh? Well, currently I’ve finished an expanded version, adding about 20 new short stories (:-0) I know! I’m through the second draft of about 20 or so of them and I just have about 10 more to revise! I don’t know if that seems like more than I make it out to be or what, but I’m not writing anymore and I’ve moved on to a whole new process… one that’s a step closer to getting that sucker published!

And yes it will be published. But I do want to keep a multimedia version available online for purchase. It will include some new photographs I’ve taken, one of which I’ve included up below! Hope you enjoy

I also hope you enjoy this excerpt from one of the completed drafts. This chapter took the original idea from my sporfucking Post nd expanded to a few thousand words. It’s nothing like the original post! Rewriting these pieces are cathartic because I begin to remember details that I can now talk about and imagine… hmmm…  I really like the result, but I won’t give you too much of it now! I need to keep my stories slightly elusive! Here’s a taste of it for now. » Read the rest of this entry «

Working hard in my little hole, sometimes my only outside leak is the lovely, lovely internet and its infinite library of insane and offensive footage. As I tried finding footage of Stephen Clancy Hill’s fatal plunge, I stumbled upon Jezebel’s article about the documentary, Exxxit: Life After Porn. Just shown this past weekend in L.A., the film briefly follows the lives of former porn stars. » Read the rest of this entry «
