Sex, art, workers, singing asses.

Last night was the sex worker's art show. No, seriously - UCSD's price center was where the annual "Sex Worker's Art Show" was held. If only UCSD people knew about it... it'd cause a bigger outrage than when SRTV had its student made porn movie.

It was a really good show. It was graphic, but skirted around being too pornographic (for the most part ;) ). Some of it I didn't understand (therefore it's art, right?). nearly a dozen performers did some 10 minute act - some exciting, some not.

Not necessarily the best act, but the one that is forever etched into long term memory: girl does a strip act to Judas Priest's song "Breaking the Law". In the final moments, she's butt neked, turns so she's mooning the audience - and then she starts parting her ass cheeks in tune with the lyrics "Breaking the law, breaking the law!". It was kinda like Debbie Does Dallas meets Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Not even my old roommate James Peters could have crossed the line to that point...

The artists basically attempted to cross established societal lines regarding human sexuality by pretty much vaulting themselves past it till they couldn't see the line anymore. And then they redrew the line and used that as a sling shot to get themselves past it some more. It was all very uncomfortably entertaining.
