Want to write some smut with me?

Posted on by Sinclair Sexsmith

This just in! Stop the presses! Last minute announcement of how to stalk me this week …

As if I haven’t had enough events this week and last: I was in Northwest Illinois visiting the fine folks at the Students For Sex Against Sexism in Society club at Knox College doing my Fucking with Gender workshop this past weekend, last night I was at Columbia’s Conversio Virium talking to a whole bunch of kinksters about Gendering Power: How to Spice Up Your Role Play, and on Friday I’ll be at Swarthmore College outside of Philadelphia for the Trans Day of Remembrance.

And now, I’ll be at The Eulenspiegel Society‘s Queer SIG (special interest group) in New York City this Thursday.

Here’s the details:

Thursday, November 19, TES Queer SIG Presents: PIY: Porn It Yourself
Nayland Blake on photography, Blaise on filmed pornography, Sinclair Sexsmith on written smut

Mainstream porn often just doesn’t cut it when you’re kinky and queer, and that’s why there’s been a long history of people making their own. Join the queer SIG for three half-hour workshops on the pleasures and pitfalls of different kinds of porn production and publishing: filmic, written and photographic and pick up tips on how to represent the sex that’s hot for you.

Members $4; Non-Members $8 Joria Studios, 260 W 36th, 3rd Floor Doors open at 7:30 pm. Meeting starts at 8 pm.

It’ll be three different half-hour segments, one on film, one on photography, and one on written smut, with lots of tips about doing it yourself. I’m excited to see both the photography and the film segments, since I do have that nice little Flip video camera that is just begging to be used, and since Kristen is getting a bit more comfortable in front of a camera … in fact, I just ordered a pinup book to play with, and we were just looking at the Pinup Finishing School‘s pin up and hair workshops.

    What time/where on Friday will you be at Swarthmore? I'm at Haverford and I'd love to see if I couldn't make it over to see you.

    The event at Swarthmore is from 7-8:30pm, though I'm not sure where exactly. I'll put a full list of details up when I've got them!

    If you're interested in having pin-up photos done, rather than learning the techniques yourself/selves, you might be able to get a better deal elsewhere. There's a photographer near Philly who has a full wardrobe and does pin-up parties (assemble your own group of 3+) with professional hair and make-up. It's Lunar Light Studios. Price is pretty similar to the Pinup Finishing School, and I bet there are other photographers like her near NYC. You don't learn the DIY skills, though.

    Have fun at Swarthmore. Maybe my brother'll be in the crowd!

    One of my FB friends worked with this website and her pictures look stunning. Plus, a Brooklyn based photog never hurts, no?

    Have fun, the pinup look is quite hot.
