This is still the Sex Workers' Art Show page, but we are temporarily using it as a platform to promote our NEW BOOK, Working Sex!!!!!!!!! Well, kind of new- the book actually came out at the beginning of the year, but I have been so busy that I haven't been able to do much to get the word out about it. There are many excellent people involved and we are very excited about it, so please check it out!
Working Sex is a new anthology of writing by people who have worked in the sex trade. The essays, narratives, plays, and stories showcase a wide variety of perspectives on and experiences with sex work by people in all areas of the industry, making it the most diverse anthology on sex work in the US.
Angry and academic, sexy and sordid, hot and hilarious, Working Sex offers unique takes on class, race, gender, and labor from the people who live and work in the crucible of our collective desire and revulsion! Yeah! Contributors include Bruce LaBruce, Michelle Tea, Eileen Myles, Vaginal Davis, Veronica Monet, Chris Kraus, Aiden Shaw, Stephen Elliott, Gloria Lockett, nomy Lamm, and many more. Edited by Annie Oakley , director of the Sex Workers' Art Show.
You can buy it here , or better yet go down to your local bookstore and request that they carry it!

If you want to know about the SWAS, the show is an evening of visual and performance art created by people who work in the sex industry to dispel the myth that they are anything short of artists, innovators, and geniuses!
Hitting the road every year for the last 6 years, the controversial Sex Workers' Art Show brings audiences a mesmerizing cabaret-style event featuring music, burlesque, spoken word, drag, and multimedia performance art. The performances offer a wide range of perspectives on sex work, from celebration of prostitution and sex-positivity to views from the darker sides of the industry.
The show includes people from all areas of the sex industry: strippers, prostitutes, dommes, film stars, phone sex operators, internet models, etc. It smashes traditional stereotypes and moves beyond "positive" and "negative" into a fuller articulation of the complicated ways sex workers experience their jobs and their lives.
