Amber Dawn
Tough Language & Tender Wisdoms: A Memoir Writing Workshop for Sex Workers
(current and former sex workers only)
This workshop invites participants to write under-told stories from their personal experience and to develop strategies to creating safe and celebratory spaces for these stories to be heard. Whether participants are interested in formally writing their memoirs or writing is a part of self-discovery, this workshop will offer foundational memoir writing exercises in sex-worker-only space.
Amber Dawn will use source material from her new book "How Poetry Saved My Life: A Hustlers Memoir" and select other text to lead participants through a series of freewriting exercises, small group work, and discussion. Participants should come prepared to share and listen, and bring pen and paper.
Alice in Bondage Land
From the time she was old enough to watch Adam West’s Batman on television and tie up dolls, Alice knew that she was kinky.
In college, she lived in a private dungeon and began moonlighting as a prodom while working as a wedding photographer by day. She also started working for local websites like https://www.SeriousBondage.com and https://www.Kink.com in their start-up days. It wasn’t long before this natural born exhibitionist began shooting videos of her own. That grew into a full time calling to document lifestyle bdsm in a sexy and compelling way... plus a lot of collaboration with local dominatrixes!
Before she had a video camera, she was taking kinky 35mm photos and developing them herself. Before that, she used Polaroids. Before the Polaroids, she drew kinky pictures that got her in trouble at school… and before she could draw, she would write BDSM fiction and post it to alt.bdsm.stories. Alice just can’t keep her kinkiness hidden! Now, her exhibitionism has grown into over 250 videos and over 50,000 photos! She teaches classes all over the world to both kinky and vanilla audiences.
Alice is notorious for public bondage “stunts” all over the country and creating flash mobs and whimsical "happenings." She is well known locally for wearing latex to the opera, cuffing sissies to the Golden Gate Bridge and opening heart chakras with a jewel-encrusted toilet plunger at the Saint Stupid's Day Parade.
Alice no longer takes private clients, but enjoys auditioning new collaborators if they can sign a model release. Disguises optional on camera!
