Good News: The "Joy Award" is born (30 Jun 2009)

I spent the first part of this year creating my compilation "Her Porn" which is a celebration of the female pioneers of porn from a female perspective. To look back and take stock also made me look ahead and think about the future of this genre and new generations of female erotic filmmakers. I truly believe that we will become more and more. This is not a flimsy fashion that will soon subside. Read more..


Wedding Love

A wedding to remember (16 Jun 2009)

I have just returned from two days filled with sunshine, smiles and inspiration. The weekend kicked off with the BLEU body paint workshop and it felt great to get naked and 'paint' on huge sheets of paper using our bodies. We all had memories of being carefree children and being naked and creative all the time. Somewhere along the lines when we "grow up" we start to feel ashamed of both - our naked bodies and our creativity out of fear of not being good enough. No fear here as nine adults and a baby imprinted their bodies onto the walls of the Rotunda at Grove House - a fantastic Bohemian performance space and home of our lovely hostess Polly. The workshop was lead by Professor Luke Dixon and supported by Annie Sprinkle herself whose famous 'tit prints' take body art to another dimension... After we left our permanent prints on the walls we had to get the remaining paint off our bodies. We had just as much fun hosing each other down with ice cold water glistening in the afternoon sun as when we were doing the body prints. Read more..


Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stevens

It's a nice day for a blue wedding! (10 Jun 2009)

I love weddings - especially if they are of the unconventional, magical kind. And this one sure is: On Sunday, the 14th of June, the wonderful ex-porn performer, director-cum-art activist and tantric teacher Annie Sprinkle will marry her big love - artist and professor Elizabeth Stephens on the "Blue wedding". This is their fifth wedding to date. They are completely in love and marry each year based on a different chakra colour and spiritual theme. Annie says: "Love is the new sex!" and enjoys delving deeper and deeper into this intimate, committed romance. This year the theme of the wedding is the throat chakra, standing for communication, symbolised by the colour blue. Read more..
