AnnieSex Workers' Art Show National Tour 2008
The 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!
