Link Oasis
A couple of new blog links for you:
I just added Oasis’ blog to my links and wanted to point her out to you. If you’re interested in knowing all of the groundbreakers in internet porn — people who had amateur sex sites before there were role models for such things — read her blog because Oasis is one of a small handful of them.
She’s one of those legendary people in *my* circle of do-it-yourself porn people, and has a hands-on, hardcore approach of swinging, fucking fans, flashing, gang bangs, interracial and party girl antics.
Another new addition to my blogroll:
I don’t know much about her (yet) except that she’s doing sex work in Australia. I was introduced to her recently through tweets linking to this post she made — It’s You I’m Afraid Of — that made me cry because so many parts of it rang so true for me, especially since I’ve been trying for the past few months to reconnect with family and friends and acquaintances from high school and college, some of them cops, many of them religious, loads of them Republicans, and a few others “liberal” (yes, in quotation marks).
“Folks want to be supportive but sometimes they don’t get it and that’s OK. I don’t expect people to know everything—I’m still learning too! But you should know that when you don’t get it, it can really sting or, I’ll be honest, irritate the shit out of me.So it’s you that I sometimes protect myself from. It’s you who I will avoid or go silent with because I just don’t want to deal with how disappointed I feel. It’s you that I write for and to. It’s you that I want on my side. You are the ones who’s judgments, stereotypes, awkward silences and ill-informed questions I watch out for. It’s you I’m afraid of.”















hello! I’ve been reading your blog for at least a year now…and always enjoy it because I also live in the PNW (seattle) so I love your descriptions of the weather and such…and I just wanted to say hey yes, Born Whore is awesome! She is a friend of mine and she is one amazing lady. So I’m glad that she is getting some internet exposure. take care, hp
Rad! Thanks for the note/feedback/ Born Whore confirmation/props. It’s weird how much of a comfort and bonding element talk about the (supposedly boring) weather and local stuff can be. I love those things so it’s good for me to hear someone else does, too!
hey trixie, it's born whore here! hp sent me the link to your page. it's been really rad and validating to hear how many ho's relate to this post in particular. Reading your comments makes me feel not-crazy and hopeful about how much we share as sex workers in a culture that would rather we disappear or shut up. fat chance.
I'm in North America now, btw and it's kinda grim, work-wise. Busts, the craigslist mess, dropping wages. bleh. i'll keep writing about how it all goes and if i make it to seattle we oughta meet!
