Desiree Alliance Conference, Here Comes Lusty!

I’m so excited, because I’m going to Vegas! Desiree Alliance is holding its annual conference July 25-30, 2010, with the theme “Working Sex: Power, Practice, and Politics.” I’ve always guiltily loved Vegas, and now I can’t think of a better reason to go there than to spend time with a few hundred other sex workers.

My workshop proposal for the business development track was recently accepted. Here is the description, please email me with any comments or ideas you might have to make it even better:
