Gina

Hi there, I'm Gina.

This blog serves many purposes for me -- sharing new writing & works in progress, keeping in touch with old friends, making new friends, and keeping an eye on what's happening on the interwebs. But mostly? It's where I blow off steam from graduate school and talk about which David Bowie song is the queerest. ;)

If you wanna know more about me, check out my website for info about the work that I do in the world.

If you're here because you're a fan of my writing, I recommend checking out How To Have A Body for a peek at my current manuscript in progress.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Enjoy your stay.

1960s Van Raalte Ad

Oh hells yeah!

Also, Boasting Time: I have two vintage nighties like this. One is nearly identical to the turquoise one pictured here, only it’s an orangey-pink. The other is nearly identical to the pink one pictured here, only it’s transparent and has three little decorative ribbons running down the front.

I wish I had more occasion to wear these frocks, ‘cause they really are gorgeous. They’re like Valley of the Dolls meets Mrs. Robinson.

My beloved friend R. — the same R. of the bathhouse stories I posted awhile back — gave them to me. He had a vintage drag pile at his birthday party, and he insisted I take the pink princess nighties. I should probably write about that for my Thesis, now that I think about it…

Doing Your Dirty Work: A call for art at CSC - May 15 deadline
Submit submit submit to this, visual artist friends! Last year’s show was stellar!

sexandculture:
Doing Your Dirty Work: a sampler of contemporary art about sex
Open to Artists in the United States

“Doing Your Dirty Work” is the second annual group exhibition at the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco, California. We invite all artists that are at least 18 years old to submit recent artwork that deals with themes of sexuality, sexual identity and gender identity. Please do not censor yourself. Nothing is too dirty! Nothing is too perverse!

The Center for Sex and Culture Gallery aims to provide space for artwork of significant merit that addresses sexuality and sexual identity, especially outsider or minority sexual identity. Too often mainstream art spaces self-censor or are afraid of sexual content. Too often the standard of artistic merit in sexuality community spaces is disappointingly low. Erotic art exhibitions are too often heavily hetero, cis, or white centric. CSC Gallery makes bridging these divides and providing a solution to these shortcomings its mission.

Jurors: Dorian Katz, CSC Curator and Marlene Hoeber, CSC Director of Collections

Submissions are due at midnight Friday, May 15th, 2013. The show will be from Friday July 5^th through Friday, August 30^th.

To enter your work, send the following to sexandculturegallery@gmail.com:

5 images, jpegs less than 2mb each

List of images with size, media and title (in the body of your email)

Artist CV (attachment)

Statement of up to 300 words about your work. Send one statement only and not one for each of the 5 images (in the body of your email)

On the main page of http://www.sexandculture.org/ click on the green donations button on the right side of our main page to pay $15 entry fee through the option Doing Your Dirty Work. (Note that you have paid entry fee in body of your email.)

· The gallery space also serves other uses so floor space is not available. We do not have equipment to present video work, but will accept wall-mounted video work with provided equipment. Wall-mounted sculpture is also acceptable.

"Awash in Bodies" opens at the Center for Sex & Culture Friday night! :)
My dear friend Jos Truitt is so talented it almost hurts. I am unbelievably proud of her for putting on this show. Come out to the Center for Sex & Culture on Friday night to see her take on The Little Mermaid as a trans fairytale. I’ve had the extreme pleasure of getting up close & personal with this work already (and even seeing some of it in progress! Being friends with a printmaker is COOL, y’all!). It is gorgeous, eerie, brave, intense, sexy, funny, and very, very smart. Not unlike the artist. ;)

I don’t find heteronormativity or consumerism attractive. But I’ll keep the chocolate.
