It’s that time of year again! I’ve been lucky enough to be part of the NYC Sexblogger Calendar posse since the first year they started, mainly in the form of publicizing their work through interviews, blog posts, the occasional scandalously flirtatious tweet exchange with Debauched Diva… And, of course, I would also buy a day.

I’m very excited, because it’s going to mean my return to performance art (as opposed to the fun stuff in burlesque, etc). I’m going to be working with Miss Behavin’ and also Naiia to do two works.
