TRUTH SERUM PRODUCTIONS

"making the world smaller" since 1994-ish


SCROLL DOWN FOR EVENTS!

Hey folks,

Goals for recover: well, recover. But also, post all photos from the past that are way overdue. PHOTOS OF JAN 15TH TRANIWRECK ARE NOW UP! Empty email inbox. Update CineMental page. Prepare for solo show at MEME in May. Get some other big life things thought out and in movement.

I still haven't reached my goal for my recovery fund and I still have many weeks ahead before I'm back to work and 100%, so if you'd like to donate, please do. Just hit the image to the right and you'll be brought to the fund's account.

Here are some events that are coming up. They've been in the works for a long time and I'm not doing any street promo for them, so please help me get the word. Oh, and...TUSH got a kick in the ass from Zuzu! so you won't see it on the queer Tuesday schedule anymore.

OH! HAI! TRANIWRECK GOLD AT OBERON ON FRIDAY APRIL 30TH! MARK YOUR CALENDAR!

(this show always sells out and seating is first come first served, with standing in the back and floor sitting in the front. we won't be doing advanced tickets. please show up on time and with patience. we'll save some seating for people with disabilities. the space does have a couple of stairs at the entry.)

This tour is the fourth installment of Body Heat, and it is set to hit the road March 12th, 2010 with the tour beginning in Boston, Massachusetts and ending in Vancouver, Canada.

This fourth line-up will feature Body Heat founder and spoken-word performer Kathleen Delaney (Atlanta, GA.), former On Our Backs editor, radio personality, and acclaimed author Diana Cage (NYC), Sister Spit vet, former slam champion, filmmaker, and writer Meliza Banales (San Francisco, CA), published author and sex-workshop facilitator Jen Cross (San Francisco, CA), Nationally renowned singer / performer Nicky Click (Durham, NH), The Femme Show founder & performer Gigi Frost (Boston, MA), martial artist, versatile performer, and Psycick Slutz co-founder Alex Cafarelli (Oakland. CA) and the Queen of Queer burlesque herself, Vagina Jenkins (Atlanta, GA).

The tour hopes to support and promote queer femmes in their contributions to erotica, the sex industry, the sex-positive movement, and in forming a more complex sexual identity through art and performance.


Sunday March 14, 2010 2.30-5.30pm
Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Burlesque Life Drawing Session
featuring: Kirby Bits and JaneDoe Cabaret from Bitches of Destiny
Great Scott
1222 Commonwealth Ave Allston (at corner of Harvard)
$8 2.30-5.30pm 18+ (bring your ID, this is a bar)

Our models this month have graced our stage in the past as part of Big Moves. This time around they're representing their new performance troupe Bitches of Destiny. They're curvey, they're gorgeous, they hold great poses! It's Kirby and JaneDoe!

Dr. Sketchy is the life drawing session you dreamed of in your deviously creative art school head. Hot models with crazy costumes, sometimes genderbending antics, poses that keep your interest for hours, nice folks around you, drinks, and it's cheap. The models talk and keep you entertained, there's good music, you could win prizes for good and bad art! You don't have to be a good artist, or someone who draws everyday. Dr. Sketchy is a great place to start back up with your practice, or to try to pick up a new creative outlet.

We start with short poses to get you warmed up and then move on to longer and longer poses, but that's about where the traditional life drawing session stops...

THIS SCREENING IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH OR JUDGMENTAL. The film shows and discusses graphic bondage, BDSM, and sex. If you are of delicate disposition we kindly ask you to consider enjoying some of Boston's other amazing cultural offerings this evening.

Graphic Sexual Horror (official site)
Written, Directed, Edited, and Produced by Anna Lorentzon and Barbara Bell (2009)

Insex.com, the brainchild of ex-Carnegie Mellon professor and artist, Brent Scott, began broadcasting torture imagery in 1997, long before the recent upsurge in mainstream depictions of so-called "torture-porn." In 2005, as the Bush administration increased its own market share in real torture, the government used the Patriot Act to block Insex.com's ability to process credit cards, thus forcing Insex to close its doors. Graphic Sexual Horror chronicles the rise and fall of this subculture phenomenon, wowing crowds at Slamdance, Hot Docs, and FantasiaFest Montreal in 2009. The documentary becomes an inquiry into consent and government intervention, asking hard questions about the role of money and personal responsibility.

"Graphic Sexual Horror is sexy and seductive. The images are raw, dirty and poetic." New York Press feature by Linnea Covington

See that guy with Heywood? That's my pal Norris. He is 90 years old and he comes out to most of Truth Serum's events. When you're thinking of excuses about why it's better to stay in...remember Norris. 90 Years Old and still loving the night life!
