About Me

How you might know me:

We're friends and I love you.

You saw me tour with sex workers' art show in 2004, 2006, 2007, or select venues in 2008:www.sexworkersartshow.com

Or you saw me in some dirty movie, hopefully a queer one like, "Girl on Girl: a documentary" http://misscookie.com/counterculture/fresh_girl.htm or on the Vancouver-based queer website: www.gooddykeporn.com

Or you've read "With a Rough Tongue: Femmes Write Porn" http://arsenalpulp.com/select_book.php?book=203

Or you read some poetry in some literary quarterly (if you read those kind of things)

Or you've been to my annual trans fundraiser, For the Boys/ For the Girls and generously donated your support and dollars

Or you've seen me at Sistahood's Cabaret: www.sistahoodcelebration.com

Or you've danced at the ODD BALL: www.theoddballcouver.blogspot.com, or some other queer event.

Or we need to meet. XO

My Interests

I already know what I’m interest in -- but here’s a list of what I’d like to get interested in if anyone has suggestions for me to pursue: speculative fiction, scary movies, pop surrealism, escapology, self-taught audio mixing, homo hop, the publishing industry, and mystic Catholicism. Illuminate me please.

I'd like to meet:

I crave exchanges with the following: omosessuale italiani, queer pornographers (who pay), poets and fiction writers who take risks - if you write about baking bread while looking out the frost-bit kitchen window onto some parie winter landscape, well, I guess I'd like to meet you too, femmes who play with dolls, people who work for small publishers/presses and want to swap stories of the labour-of-love book biz, working class/poor folks who have gone on to be academics, underdogs

Say Yes (part two) . . . finally

We had nothing to say to each other, is what I kept reminding myself whenever I got sentimental about Nino. Which wasn..t often. The guy was no dreamboat. He was one of many, I..m guessing dozens, slu...

Sub Rosa - from Chapter One - part two. * Graphic (not erotic) content*

It was 2 PM a decent hour, I thought, for a barfly to wake. I came at him without a shirt. I couldnt make myself remove any more clothes than that. He squinted at me as I located his penis under the ...
