Since the release of American Courtesans we have been watching the media go both ways. So often main stream media chooses to present our industry with a slant. They love to either glorify or demonize. Very few times do they actually accept us as we are. While on this journey of informing the public about who we are and what we really do add to society, we have found some friends and allies which have stepped up and spoken out for us. This is no small feat, and I wanted to make sure that their efforts don't go unnoticed. I know that their peers were not to happy with the decision, as negative press about Sex Workers is the status quo. However, if we want them to continue, it is my belief that we have to support them back. For without that, why would they in the future stick their neck out... So here is the list of those in the media who have taken a big risk...
The amazing Danny Miller at MSN:

The very supportive Steve Gustafson at 411mania:

The very kind Fred Topple from the Suicide Girls:

Just to name a few. And... on August 5th I will be on the Adam Corolla show (if all goes as planned). For those of you who don't know who he is, he is a wonderful comedian who used to do a show called LoveLine, and the Man Show. His podcast is the number on downloaded podcast in the world!!!
I am very excited that we are now being presented with a positive slant. I always believe that in anyone's life they have choices... we can be part of the solution or part of the problem. There is no neutral when it comes to life.... I understand just how dangerous it is for anyone to step out in this day and age here in the US... But, discreetly, posts and support can be made. Thank you so much!
(As a side note: We are now available on many platforms. iTunes is the number one platform that tells the ranking systems if it is something that they want more of. Due to the powers that be, we were blocked out of rolling out in the US on opening weekend... so very political!!! However, if you could go to itunes and watch American Courtesans ... $4.99, and rate/rank it honestly, our voice will be heard louder. There are many platforms to see it on, but iTunes is the standard for the film industry to decide of topics that they like to hear about. I would like to do another film on the same subject, however that is really iTunes dependent. Thanks so much, you guys rock!!!!)
