Funding Successful
This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 18, 2010.
Pledge $5 or more
Front Row Supporters: you will have online access to photos and video posted by our official/sexy documentation team including Scarlot Harlot, PJ Starr, and Serpent Libertine immediately after the event and you will receive exclusive access to a final edited compendium video and photo stream about 30 days after the event.
Pledge $25 or more
Backstage Pass: in addition to having access to all video/photos available to Front Row Supporters you will be able to access our blog as we make our preparations, including photos of strategic glitter application, scantily clad banner makers (its hot in Vegas for goodness sake) and corset tightening. Its not only glitter though! Read about how sex worker advocates strategize for rights and get the inside scoop… good for academics, human rights folk, students and fellow sex worker supporters.
Pledge $69 or more
The Soixante-Neuf: in addition to receiving everything offered to Front Row Supporters and Backstage groupies, we will mail a set of stockings (possibly fishnets) worn during the event or a pair of handcrafted and embossed sex worker art panties that may have been worn during the street performance. Availability of the “art panties” is limited so sign up now to ensure your set if this is your preferred selection! Email desireekickstarter@yahoo.com if you would like to indicate more about your preference.
Pledge $100 or more
The Art Lovers Special: it’s your choice. In addition to receiving everything offered to Front Row Supporters and Backstage groupies, we will mail you a CD by award winning sex worker artist Mariko Passion or a DVD of In Our Own Image (a documentary about the making of $pread magazine) or 10 handcrafted sex worker activist buttons.
Pledge $200 or more
Call Me On Your Line: In addition to receiving everything offered to Front Row Supporters and Backstage groupies, you are eligible for a private telephone conversation with one of our team of performance artists for whatever discussion of rights strikes your fancy.
Pledge $500 or more
Wide Wallet Club: In addition to receiving everything offered to Front Row Supporters and Backstage groupies, in participating cities (New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Tucson, locations in Michigan and Arkansas and more) you are eligible to meet a sex worker performance artist or advocate in a public space (coffee shop, bar or restaurant) to hear a personal recounting of the events in Las Vegas. Inquire about availability if you are outside of one our participating locations by emailing desireekickstarter@yahoo.com … we may be able to work something out!

Greetings from Akumal, Mexico where I am on the writer retreat with Michelle Tea and RADAR that Kirk Read was at last year. I love getting this updates from the conference, as I regret I can't be two places at once. Kirk is right on, connecting with nature is the future of prostitution! Without the Earth, Sky and Sea there will be no whores. Ecosexually yours. xxx
This is an awesome project! I happen to be a part of it last time and it was a thought-provoking experience for me and our audience. It is important to bring awareness of sex worker's rights out of the dark (so to speak) and into public spaces. If you're considering funding this, know that its absolutely worthwhile!
I suggest you put something on the Kickstarter pages explaining where or how supporters can access the blog you have opened for them.
Also, I sent a message several days ago but no reply. Do you have an in box you arn't checking?
