My legs are so banged-up I have to cake them with make-up when I dance. The bruises life leaves on my body are so obvious. I wonder how the ones on my mind and spirit manifest? I venture to say they're just as obvious, although perhaps not to me.
I'm a purity ring-wearing Christian writer for a feminist magazine also currently exploring the freedom and stigma of taboo professions part-time. So far I've been:
1.) A fine art model in Chicago
2.) A (clothed) bit part porn actress in Los Angeles
3.) A professional dominatrix in Manhattan
4.) A topless dancer in Queens and Manhattan, using the microcosm of the strip club as a venue for adventures in subjective reality.
I also bruise easily and have a mild form of narcolepsy.
