Sex Workers' Art Show

This was clever, funny, entertaining, and intellectually stimulating. Probably not things you'd expect from all the media attention about it (check out this frustrating and uninformed article!). In reality, this was not a sex show, and in no way glorified the sex industry. The purpose of the show was to humanize sex workers, to emphasize that what they do is just that, work. And to bring to our attention the American public's tendency to dehumanize whatever it consumes, or in a sense to pretend it comes just like that naturally. I would describe the show as more like a comedy tour, which happened to have a little stripping and dancing (don't worry! nearly no 'real' nudity, pasties included!). One thing that was interesting is that they did not allow a merchandise table. What? Also, one professor actually thinks watching it will cause us to rape everybody! Hooray! I especially liked Erin Markey's performance. That woman has pole dancing strength! And amazing songwriting skills.
