Naked Ambition -
Women Who Are Changing Pornography
by Carly Milne

Read Carly Milne’s book before you make any generalizations about women and porn...

Favorite quotes include:

“The difference between you and me is that I don’t care if you think you are better than I am. As you judge all of us in the adult industry from your cubicle or your sofa glued to the TV watching bad shows, ask yourself this: Are you loved? Are you free? Who do you answer to? What do you stand for? Anything at all?” – Tera Patrick on becoming and being a porn star

“What happens when the so-called powerless object willingly and enthusiastically participates in the creation of his or her own image?” – Tristan Taormino on feminist pornography

“I liked seeing women in sexual situation who enjoyed what they were doing, and wished I could find more of it. I came to terms with my own preference for being submissive in bed (although not anywhere else). I learned that being the sub meant being in control – and that being sexual meant so much more than I had heretofore experience.” – Regina Lynn on sex and technology

Su-en Wong @ Danese Gallery
535 West 24th Street, NYC
February 17-March 18, 2006

In her bold and erotically charged paintings, Su-en Wong seduces you to think about nationality, race, gender, adolescence, costume, and sexuality. Instead of using other women’s bodies to examine these ideas, she paints herself as the subjects of every piece. Check out the tail end of her exhibit, or view her website to see her as a nudie boxer, a boyish girl-scout, a gaggle of coy schoolgirls, or a team of field hockey players (“The Beavers”).
