visiting.
Hope to see you.
Love,
Annie

NYC’S GOLDEN GIRLS OF PORN: MOSEX HOSTS A REUNION OF THE WORLD’S FIRST PORN STAR SUPPORT GROUPs
Five
adult film stars from the “Golden Age of Porn”: Veronica Hart, Gloria
Leonard, Candida Royalle, Annie Sprinkle and Veronica Vera were the
original "Sex and the City" girls. Turning to one another for the
support they needed to navigate their way through life after blue
movies, these dynamic women created “Club 90” in 1983, forming a bond
that would continue for nearly thirty years. They went on to pursue their
personal goals, and in the process, blazed new trails in the fields of
human sexuality, women’s empowerment, erotic expression, and free
speech. Come get a taste of the good old days when NYC was America’s sex
film capital, movies were shot on 35mm film, and Times Square was
x-rated! And most of all, come share the laughs, the drama & the
intimate stories of this controversial support group. This rare reunion
promises to be candid, informative and electric!
When: Tuesday, June 12th, 2012 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Where: MOSEX's OralFix Bar, 233 5th Ave, New York, NY 10016
Tickets: $25.
2. Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens at Museum of Sex's F*ck Art Gallery, NYC, Wednesday, June 13. 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
ASSUMING THE ECOSEXUAL POSITION A performative visiting artist lecture, slideshow & tell with Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens
What
happens when two city girls embrace the Earth as their lover? They get
real dirty! Then they marry the Earth, Sky, Sea, Rocks, Sun, and more,
in a series of performance art weddings? Stephens
& Sprinkle have developed “SexEcology,” a new field of research
which explores the places where sexology and ecology intersect. Learn 25
ways to make love with the Earth, how to find your e-spot, and why
mysophilia, arboreal frottage and pollen-amory are so deeply satisfying.
These ‘grrrrls gone green’ make experimental theater, visual art,
video, and lead ecosex walking tours & workshops. Once you know more
about the budding ecosex movement, you just might discover you are an
ecosexual too.
Elizabeth
Stephens is an artist, professor at UCSC, and filmmaker. Her new film,
Goodbye Gauley Mountain—An Ecosexual Love Story, makes the environmental
activist movement more sexy, fun and diverse. Annie Sprinkle was a
prostitute and porn star for twenty years. She became a pivotal player
in the sex positive feminist movement, an internationally known
performance artist, and the first porn star to earn a Ph.D. Sprinkle
and Stephens have been living and working together for twelve fertile
years. For more about Beth & Annie’s work, www.sexecology.org
Tickets are at http://museum.museumofsex.

7 of 7 - A Life of Science: Lynn Margulis Opens the Gaian Era
Dear Earthlings:
you've faithfully followed this series to finally arrive at the beginning. The two snapshots of this week are part of the symposium's intro. Who was Lynn Margulis? With whom can we compare her? Many names of great significance came up, including Galileo, Copernicus, Darwin, and Humboldt. But most of all she was free. She thought with her own head and she was fearless. And she was fortunate enough to be in a time and place where the potential of her being could be actualized. And she was wise enough to stay in that space of freedom even when conforming would have been easier. That's why those comparisons are well deserved. Authentic science is not science-for-profit, and it doesn't come easy, yesterday as today. But the mind is a wonderful machine and life a great experiment. And if you've come so far in this mini journey, perhaps you've developed an appreciation for Lynn Margulis and her view of evolution. Remember it's very simple. If the Gaia hypothesis is true, every time you feel like helping someone, every time that impulse to help gets a hold of you, every time you share resources, every time you're frugal, every time you're generous, every time you take care of an ecosystem near you, you're simply acting according to nature and are helping the process of evolution one itty bit step further. Isn't that nice?
James Walker introduces Lynn s friend, professor of "hallucinogenic plants." Did Lynn "know" nature in the "Biblical sense, I mean from experience? That's a good thing for a scientist, no?
Peter Westbroeck of Leiden University in Holland hails Lynn Margulis as a modern day Copernicus.
Dear Earthlings:
Education is the heart of democracy. And that includes education to love. It comes in many forms. Including learning about Lynn Margulis, the role of collaboration in evolution, and Gaia theory.

Come back! And stay tuned for more wonders.

Ecosexy Updates from 3WayKiss: Join Us Online, in Portland, and Big Apple City
 |
| Eco Clit, courtesy of Mocha |
Dear Earthlings,
here at 3WayKiss things are happening so fast that we barely have time to think. But we can't wait to let you know what's jelling up and how you can participate.
The Ecosexual Movement is swerving in the social media and the biosphere is beginning to feel it.
EcoSex Summit. Anyone can participate in this. Just activate your digital system. John Overton and Yours Truly interviewed for the EcoSex Summit, a series of conversations with EcoSex voices produced by Farhana Goga and Alan Styrdom in Cape Town. We explain how to bring ecosex into your personal and planetary life and the benefits of it. What's the PostaHouse project and how does it relate to the ecosexual vision? Find out from the Interview. It is accessible, free of charge, until Thursday, May 24, at 4 PM. Don't forget to sign up for updates and "like" the Facebook page. More previews coming soon. The series of 18 interviews will be for sale when the Summit is complete.
EcoSex Symposium. Portland, OR, June 29-July 1st. This one does require traveling and for those who like that it will be a memorable full-immersion experience in the creation of ecosexuality, what it means, why it needs to exist, what it can do for people, the planet, our amorous lives, our sexual expression, and the relationship with our most compersive lover, third planet Earth or Gaia.
It's now time too sign up, donate, get
perks, and volunteer! You can do this all in one stop: HERE! Check out the exciting keynotes and workshops. What's Yours Truly's title? "Ecosexuality: The New Orgasmic Revolution on Plant Earth." Exciting? There's much more! "Fluid Bonding," "The Pleasure of the Other," are some of Yours Truly's themes. And many others will facilitate and teach. "Saving the Earth is sexy," as organizer Gabriella Cordova explains. Ecosexuality embraces life fully. Sign up for the whole thing or event by event. We will launch a book project and you can submit your contribution! From out of town? Ask for assistance with housing. All details, contacts, guidelines here. The
place to be! Oh, and for those inclined to express ourselves as wordsmiths, there will be a call for contributions to an anthology of miscellaneous writing about the ecosexual experience. Access the Call for Papers here!
Next are reminders for Bi/Lammy events in New York City. Is the big apple ecosexual? Taste the forbidden fruit and tell me! In any event, we are meeting for the "biggest bi culture event of the year in NYC." Bi Lines. On Sunday, June 3rd, at 6:00 PM. Catch all the details, program, presenters, attendees. Get a ticket and mark yourself as attending here!
Or, show up on the corresponding Facebook Event. Only $ 8.00 at the door. The Nuyorican Poets Cafe is waiting for you! At 236 East 3rd Street, NY 10009. Tel (212) 780-9386. Meet Mirta Garcia visiting from Puerto Rico and other friends. And learn all about the latest bi books, including Yours Truly's Bisexuality and Queer Theory.
Next is the big night for Lammy finalists. We're all winners. But who actually gets to take home the distinction? Who do I root for when Justin Bond, Susie Bright are finalists too? Suspense, suspense . . . And all is revealed at the Lammy Awards. Monday, June 4th. Find out all details in the Press Release. Join us for the ceremony. It's a bit expensive. But it's great to become a donor for Lambda and all of LGBTQ Literature. Without our imagination, what would we be? Puppets. Mere tools. It's art that makes us real. Ecosexual art that is. Love, the ecology of life, is the art that makes life beautiful. The Awards are at 6:00 PM at CUNY Graduate Center, Proshansky Auditorium (365 5th Avenue, NY 10016). The Gala at nearby Slate (54 West 21st, NY 10010) follows at 9:30 pm. Come out for the big night in New York City. You deserve it. Life is beautiful!
Get your tickets here and become part of the big ecosexy apple's literary scene.

| Cranac, Adam & Eve |
Yours Truly is gifting herself with a Residency in Brooklyn. St Andrews Plaza. May 27-June 25. In preparation for the big year of research as Fellow at U Conn, 2012-13. For more info about that, see the Press Release. Wish me well with this breakthrough project. I will be sorting out things, looking for housing, car, other needs. Seeing old friends, making new ones. Participating in events, lectures, conferences, debates, parties. Learning. Experiencing.
There are many apples in New York City, one more ecosexy than the other. Cranac knew it. Can you see? Connect with me. We might explore together.

| Tantra Meal |
Let me complete with two tips for online stores of ecosexual products that can make your sex life healthier and more fun. Ecosex and Good Clean Love come well recommended by Tinamarie Bernard, legendary modern love muse.
Remember: life is beautiful. Expand your love and you'll feel it. Love, the ecology of life, is the art of sharing the most compersive lover we have, third planet Gaia. Love yourself in another today, and you'll do your part.
Your attention is appreciated. Thanks for reading. We hope to bring offerings of your choosing. You are loved. Join us in what is accessible to you!
