And I Am a Former Sex Worker
I don’t know how I missed this when it first came out (in April), but I was checking out the website for the 2010 New York Sex Bloggers calendar (featuring such bloggers as Audacia Ray, Urban Gypsy, and Rachel Kramer Bussel, all of whom are also featured in the inaugural 2009 calendar hanging on my entry way wall) and clicked over to Sex Work Awareness, which sales of the calendar benefits. It was there I found this spectacular video, which of course I want to share here:
Beautiful. Huge kudos and thanks to the Sex Work Awareness Speak Up media training workshop for this magnificent public service announcement.Love,

This video says so much with such economy and elegance. The viewer can really “think between the lines” about our assumptions about sex and sex work. Just so happens I’m brewing a story on the topic–excellent inspiration here :-). Thanks so much, Emerald.
