Secrets of the Glamour Nerd

About Me

Mostly my info is pretty much all at http://www.PlanetMidori.com I don't use MySpace a whole lot so if you want to reach me it's better to e mail me direclty.
I'm a big dork who leads a charmed life. I get to do what I love surrounded by great friends who love me and adoring if slightly strange cats.
I guess I'm an idealist, very much like my family. I believe that individuals, myself included, can make a positive impact on the world with everything that we do. (Ok, some days are harder to believe in that then not, but I get over it.) I believe that being true to oneself is the first step in that.
What I do for a living and what I'm passionate about are one in the same. Somehow I managed to get lucky and be able to make a living traveling and teaching/speaking about adventurous sex. I get to talk to clubs, universities, art institutes, shops, events. I also write about it too. Mostly non-fiction but fiction as well.
From time to time I do large scale rope art performances. Some times they're at fetish clubs, some times they're at museums. The creative side gets to explore in large-scale eveloping installations and photography. I'm trying to find time to work on my art site. Soon, soon....

I hate TV that's just left on. It really interferes with my creativity. There are a few shows that I'll catch while socializing. "Rome" "Queer As Folk" "Queer Eye" I think there's a similarity to watching TV alone are drinking alone. It's kind of sad.
