Party Tonight!

…at least, if you’re anywhere in or around the Seattle area. Ellen Forney sent us this invite and even though Julie and I can’t make it, I thought I’d at least pass it along. If you missed Comixtravaganza, here’s your chance to see the adult version. Here you go:

LUST: Kinky Online Personal Ads from Seattle’s The Stranger
By Ellen Forney

Multimedia reading and performance!

Ellen Forney’s follow-up to her wildly popular I Love Led Zeppelin is a collection of cartoons celebrating the sometimes stunningly crude, sometimes surprisingly sweet online world of kinky personal classifieds. Forney has for several years been illustrating the Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger’s “Lustlab” classified ads by interpreting the most interesting, outrageous, or idiosyncratic ad in that week’s paper. To cap it off, the collection includes frank, revealing interviews with some of the advertisers conducted by Forney, plus an introduction by the notorious sex advice columnist and novelist (and Stranger editor), Dan Savage.

Plus! Dazzling dancer Fuschia FoXXX! (Voted one of the Stranger’s “Sexiest Citizens”!) Scantily-clad sirens, including Holly Chernobyl! (Also voted one of the Stranger’s “Sexiest Citizens”!) Chocolate kisses! More!!
