It’s official: I’ve crossed that line where being naked in front of strangers no longer feels unusual. What a monumental step for my blossoming career!
It’s been busy lately. I recently did a photo shoot with T-Bodies for their upcoming 2012 Manomorphosis calendar (which will be printed soon!), I performed in a women & transfolks’ strip show with the lovely Miss Pussy Liquor, and I had one hell of a packed Victoria Day long weekend.
This was my schedule:
FRIDAY
1) Boring day job
2) Queer Bathhouse Night @ Hastings Steam & Sauna
3) Man Up! @ The Cobalt
SATURDAY
1) Boring day job
2) Prance @ VIVO
SUNDAY
1) Diva’s Den prep
2) Diva’s Den @ The Penthouse
3) Lipstick Jungle @ Shine
4) Hershe @ Red Room (I didn’t make it to this one, but it was happening a few blocks away from Shine)
The bathhouse event, as mentioned last week, was put together by T-Bodies and Miss Pussy Liquor. The event brought in a smaller crowd than what had been anticipated, but excellent people showed up. There was much sauna-sitting, porn-watching, and naked-being.
The biggest event of my weekend was Diva’s Den: a strip show by and for past/present/future women, and an annual fundraiser for the Vancouver Dyke March. I didn’t realize until I’d arrived at The Penthouse that I’d never actually been in a strip club before. Go figure: my first time inside and I’m one of the performers.
Miss Pussy Liquor prepping for our rehearsal time
The set list was fantastic. The event was hosted by sassy “strip-hop” star Crystal Precious, and the list of performers included popular drag kings (Ponyboy, Owen), legendary burlesque dancers (Lola Frost, Villainy Loveless), and a few actual strippers who had come out of retirement just for this event.

This was Miss Pussy Liquor’s sixth time performing at Diva’s Den, and my first. Apparently, she had previously earned herself a reputation for taking things a little above and beyond the average strip show, and this year was no different; for her act, she pulled me up on stage as an audience member, gave me a lapdance, then bent me over and fucked me from behind with a strap-on cock. I couldn’t tell how the audience responded, but our co-performers sure seemed to love it!

The next performance I have planned is coming up soon: I’ll be shooting in San Francisco this month for QueerPorn.tv! I’ll be in the Bay area from June 23rd-27th, so come say hi if you see me hanging around the Pride events!
Courtney Trouble & Maya Mayhem shooting for Good Dyke Porn
Until then, check out Good Dyke Porn for Part 1 of our latest scene, starring Courtney Trouble (co-founder of QueerPorn.tv) and Maya Mayhem! This was the first shoot I directed without Bren Ryder’s supervision, and I’m excited to share it with the Internet!
I have not forgotten about Good Queer Porn updates. I’ve been crazy trying to keep up with things lately, but I am equipped with a backed-up list of things I would like to write about and review. I just need to find time! This month I am both travelling and preparing to move, so I have no plans to stop falling forward anytime soon!
