A colleague is in town right now, Joe Gallant of Black Mirror Productions. He’s hanging out and getting ready to shoot a porn film, and is looking for people who want to be in it. I’ve been taking him around and introducing him to people, having great conversations about porn and art, and somehow simultaneously working under a tremendous deadline on a book. Joe wants me to shoot a film-within-a-film in his feature, a walk-on where I appear with a camera and present myself as a documentarian, then I film a girl-girl scene while I’m being filmed (in a nonsex role). So fun! I think I have two volunteers, very sexy tomboy femme lesbians. I’ll keep the updates coming, but either way I’m excited to see how independent porn is shot, and I’ll get to hang out on the sets during filming and see what it’s all like.
Meanwhile I’m steeling myself for Gay Pride. Tonight I’m going to Carol Queen‘s opening party for the re-release of her bestseller, The Leather Daddy and The Femme, at Good Vibes on Valencia St. — an evening that kicks off a busy week. Thursday at the DNA Lounge is the Naughty Nurses benefit/anniversary party for the St. James Infirmary, a health clinic that exclusively serves sex workers. It’s their fourth year in business, they’ve even delivered a baby, and they are ready to party! It’ll be interesting to see what happens when all those sex workers let their hair down…!
Friday is the She-Rotic reading at the Polk St. store (come by if you’re in town — I’ll be reading from my upcoming video book and just generally hanging around making fun of everything). Saturday is an appearance at A Different Light bookstore on Castro St. at 4pm, and then Sunday is the parade — phew! I’ve got the sexiest Supergirl outfit ready for the march, the Marching Band is practicing new routines tonight, and we’re all psyched! Watch for us on TV — we’ll be marching around 10:45am, and KRON will be filming us.
Books I love: Lapdancer by Juliana Beasley. I love Sticky Fingers by Alison Tyler. I love Sex Games by Linda Sonntag.
