journeyproject Journey Project @ Washington Square Park

Time: 12:00-8:00 PM
Location: Washington Square Park

This month, if you see seven shipping containers in Washington Square Park, that’s the Journey project, sponsored by the Helen Bamber Foundation:

The aim of Journey is to bring the reality of the sex trafficking industry to the forefront of social consciousness and empower people to take action. Shackles bind perpetrators to victims, and victims to the punters who exploit them. The links extend to every level of society even to the organisations that care for the victims. They extend down the halls of government who pledge to act and pass laws to stamp out trafficking. The links form an invisible chain that binds us all together. It is the chain of modern day slavery.

It takes the audience on her journey of transformation from a childhood full of hopes and dreams into the harrowing reality of sex slavery, void …of freedom and self.

Each stage of this brutal journey has been interpreted and created by a different artist, titled Hope, Journey, Uniform, Bedroom, Customer, Stigma and Resurrection.

There will facilitators after you tour the installation…you might even meet Bamber Foundation trustee and actress Emma Thompson.

 Elise by Lelo

When it comes to luxury “lust objectified” sex toys, Lelo is divine.  I have been a fan of Lelo ever since I played with lovely Lily and her chic little sister Nea.  Then I found Gigi and I had fantasies of being stranded on a desert island with her.  In Luna I found the perfect work-out partner for doing kegels with, helping to keep my PC muscles strong.  Her aunts Liv and Iris were saucy and sweet, yet I still craved something more.  Something more substantial in length and girth, something more elegant and stylish.  Then I found Elise.

Ah, Elise!  She is a lover, like no other.  Elise is the Diva of the Femme line of Lelo’s pleasure objects and retails just under $185 US.  She is both a clitoral vibrator and a G-spot stimulator in one with an overall length of 8 ¼” by a 4 ½” circumference.  This significant length and girth make her the largest pleasure object of the Lelo Femme line.  She is much more satisfying than Gigi and Liv, yet with a rounded shape I find more pleasurable than Iris’ textured-petal body.

Her body is sensually formed with smooth feminine curves and a rounded G-spot head.  Available in matte black and plum colors, she is made of ABS plastic, with a lush skin of body-friendly medical-grade silicone.  Her subtle curves and velvety flesh tempt your sense of touch and beg to caress every inch of your body.

Elise has two vibration motors: one in the rounded head and the other down the shaft.  These vibrations work in tandem to shoot vibrations up and down the shaft, depending on which of the five cycling patterns you choose, mimicking penetrative sex.  Some of these patterns make the vibe feel like it is undulating inside of you, while others feel like a thrusting motion. Still others feel like a soft thumping sensation that works perfect for the G-spot.  These vibrations are incredibly sophisticated and all the modes feel absolutely delicious.  In addition to that, the Elise has several speeds and is quite powerful on the highest setting, much more powerful in fact that most internal vibrators due to this dual vibration design.  Despite all this, Elise is whisper-quiet and very discrete.  She will never divulge your sexy secrets and may be the only a lover who will never let you down.

Like Lelo’s other insertable vibrators, Elise features a LED control pad at the base with [+] [-] options to turn her on and rev her up, as well as [^] [v] controls that allow you to cycle through her throbbing undulations.  Elise is a rechargeable vibe, comes with a plug-in charger and takes about two hours before she is ready to pleasure you.  Finally, Elise comes in a black lovely storage gift box embossed with the Lelo brand and includes a black satin storage bag, 1 year warranty and instruction booklet.

Elise is the Divine Diva of the Lelo line and my favorite Lelo toy to date next to Gigi.  If Lelo ever decided to combine Gigi’s head with Elise’s body, it would be a match made in pleasure heaven.

headshot The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You reading (S. Bear Bergman)

Where: Collect Pond, 45 Berry Street, corner of N 11th St, Brooklyn  (Google Maps: http://bit.ly/derivtheat)
Cost: Pay what you can, suggested donation $15 includes snacks
Presented by Derivative Theater Company
RSVP: Seating is limited! Please, RSVP to booking AT sbearbergman DOT com with your name and and the number of people.

Multiple award-winning writer, performer, gender-jammer and instigator S Bear Bergman returns to The Big Apple after a two year hiatus with hir new book, The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You. Alternately unsettling and affirming, devastating and delicious, The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You is a new collection of essays on gender and identity that’s irrevocably honest and endlessly illuminating. With humour and grace, Bergman spins stories from women’s spaces to the old boys’ network, from gay male bathhouses to lesbian potlucks, from being a child to preparing to have one; and throughout shows just what kind of things you learn when you’re visibly queer to the naked eye. As usual, expect digressions, jokes, off-label stories, time for questions and reckless flirting.

11/04/2009
6:00 PMto10:00 PM

Location: Happy Ending, 302 Broome St. NYC

Admission: FREE

Wow! We had over 130 people at last month’s Pleasure Salon. A big welcome to the 30+ new attendees.

Some of us can’t get enough of dressing up and assuming a new persona, so if you love Halloween (or just playing with your identity) we have extended the celebration into November.

We hope to see you, in or out of costume, on Wednesday, November 4th at Happy Ending Lounge. We’re there the first Wednesday of every month. This event is free.

The Pleasure Salon has been created to build community, allowing sex-positive activists to cross-pollinate. Our gatherings bring together members of the BDSM, swinger, alternative gender, LGBT, sex-activist, sex educator, nudist, sex-magic, polyamory, Pagan, radical faerie, tantra, dark odyssey, sex-blogger, porn, pervert and sex-worker communities, and others whose passion is sex. (Let us know if we missed any one of you!) Through building networks in the sex-positive community, The Pleasure Salon hopes to help create a sex-positive world. It is a place for the open exchange of ideas and sensual expression.

Join us in building New York’s pleasure positive community, and bring your like-minded friends to this social gathering. The Pleasure Salon embraces respect, acceptance, and non-judgmental support in this public space.

We hope to see you there,
Patricia Johnson, Selina Fire & Mark Michael
