It's time again for the Sex Workers Art Show Tour! The first show I saw was one of the best, ever and I'm hoping this year rocks just as much. There are some favorites of mine on the bill including Dirty Martini, Lorelei Lee, World Famous *BOB*, and Erin Markey (this girl is sooo hilarious). Looks like it will be a good night - check it out!Sex Workers' Art Show National Tour 2008The Sex Workers' Art Show Tour is coming to your town! The show is a mindblowing evening of visual and performance art created by people who work in the sex industry, dispelling the myth that they are anything short of artists, innovators and geniuses!The wildly successful cabaret-style show is hitting the road again, bringing audiences a blend of spoken word, music, drag, burlesque, and multimedia performance art. Intelligent and hot, disturbing and hilarious, the performances offer a wide range of perspectives on sex work, from celebration of prostitutes' rights and sex positivity, to views of the darker sides of the industry.This year's incredible lineup of performers includes international burlesque sensation and recipient of the "Best Body in Burlesque" award, Miss Dirty Martini; infamous feminist author of I Love Dick Chris Kraus; award-winning author of the coming-out memoir How I Learned to Snap, Kirk Read; porn star and writer Lorelei Lee; performance artist and comic queen of cleavage The World Famous *BOB*; performer and musical theatre mutineer Erin Markey; internationally infamous drag-subverter Krylon Superstar; dominatrix and destroyer of Asian feminine mythology Keva I. Lee; and tour founder and director Annie Oakley.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. The Sex Workers' Art Show entertains, arouses, and amazes while simultaneously offering scathing and insightful commentary on notions of class, race, gender, labor and sexuality!Also featured at the show will be a new anthology of sex worker writings, Working Sex: Sex Workers Write About a Changing Industry (Seal Press), edited by Annie Oakley. Working Sex features work by several of the show's performers, as well as Eileen Myles, Bruce LaBruce, Nomy Lamm, Michelle Tea, and many more!For more info visit http://sexworkersartshow.com/Tour Schedule: check the site for updates!
