Exorcise: healing through sweating at the VENT festival Sept 25

Exorcise: healing through sweating at the VENT festival Sept 25

Exorcism and Exercise. I have been wrapping the two around my resilient self ever since I escaped the mean evangelicals who raised me* and as I live with the everyday tragedies of being treated “female” in a society that has some very fucked up attitudes towards femininity. My newest piece is a natural development out [...]

Canadian Travels & Family Perversion

Canadian Travels & Family Perversion

Wow, does it *ever* seem right to put Canada and perverts in the same subject line [hi you-know-who-you-are!]. From July 31 to Aug 8 I’m returning to the country that turned me out over a decade ago from a nerdy libertarianesque poetry dyke into at least part of the notorious being I am today. Thanks, [...]

fame and shame and dreams

I had a dream about updating my blog to talk about process, the motions of making and the spaces in between that I like to forget that I need in order to bloom beauty. I dreamt of performances about dissociation and  homorobics. I dreamt of taking a walk with Diamanda Galas. If you want to [...]

June Events & Whatnot

I want to write all about Heels on Wheels, how the perfect combination of personality, talent and magic got in the van and travelled all the way to Minneapolis and back, precipitating excellent dance parties and refuting the notion that Fancy Faces Only Tour Burlesque by taking performance art, stories and ferocity instead. I want [...]

April 3 is the next Hot Pink Mass, at the Lesbian Herstory Archives! And April 15 [...]

Sex Worker Media, Movements and Transformative Justice

Sex Worker Media, Movements and Transformative Justice

I’m just so excited about all the awesome sex worker activism that is happening in the light of International Sex Workers’ Rights Day on March 1!! I’m going to look at & link to a tonne of peer-led media and calls for performance/video/writing, info on exciting legal movement, and close out with some still-forming thoughts [...]

Hot Pink F&$K Yeah!

Hot Pink F&$K Yeah!

Well – that was exciting! The Hot Pink Mass at the QuORUM Forum* was the sixth-ever Full Mass given — though luckily I’ve gotten to give Mini-Masses another dozen times across the continent, sharing Trisha and Femmifestation as I go. I want to thank everyone who attended the New Stories/Old Stories Mass for your excitement & [...]

Notes on Trisha

Salome, Delilah, Lola, Little Debbie, Queen Helene, Jolene, Liz, Medusa, Miss World, Pretty Young Thing, Shawty, Gloria, and Trisha. Trish/a. Multiplicity and essences of all those babes you wanted to be, fuck, or avoid: too many qualities in one personality, many personalities for multiple environs. I call forth Trisha to manifest when I am tough [...]
