Special screening of Sexing the Transman XXX on Halloween

Join me on Halloween at CSPC for Buck Angel’s new film, Sexing the Transman XXX.  When I first saw this event in lovely Allena's News from the Director I did a little internet research on Buck and his wife, Elayne Angel  (see other post on Elayne) and was impressed with their candid information and sensitivity on trans issues.  I am looking forward to this event!  Ms T.

October 31, 2011
Main Space
Door Opens at 7:00pm, film starts at 8pm
$5 - $15 sliding scale
This is an FSPC event, CSPC discounts do not apply
 Buck Angel’s new film, Sexing the Transman XXX will have a special screening night at The Center and Foundation for Sex Positive Culture in Seattle on October 31, 2011 from 8-10pm. Buck’s wife, Elayne Angel, will be the host for the evening and will be available for a Q & A after the screening. Buck Angel will be in Copenhagen at the MIX LGBT festival screening a mainstream version of the same documentary.
The film, Sexing the Transman XXX, is an intimate audio-visual tour of FTM sexuality, including interviews and graphic video of a variety of transmen. It was conceived, filmed, and directed by Buck Angel, educator, advocate, and iconic figure in redefining gender, sexual fluidity, and individual expression of identity.
Buck Angel made history rising to prominence as a female-to-male transgender adult film star, and he has used his struggles and successes as a platform to help empower people of all types and encourage self-love and acceptance. This film is one way that he is educating about the unique perspectives of transmen and working toward greater understanding in the realms of gender and human sexuality.

Women Owned Businesses are the focus

I have the pleasure of knowing wonderful women that own their own businesses that I will be featuring over the next few weeks via the GayZette.  I have added a "Women Owned Business" tab and will be adding and linking resources on this new page.  Galleries, home maintenance classes, dog training, dog companion services and lesbians in film are just some of what I will share. We have so many amazing resources in our community and telling you about them is part of the joy of this gig. 

If you know of someone that you would like to see on the pages of Seattle Announcements or if you have a business and would like to share it, please contact me.  Ms T.

The weekend's offerings

Wow!  There is a ton one can do this weekend!  You will find a few individual posts to follow on events that are happening today and for the following week.  I will be hitting HotFlash (Neighbours 6-10pm $10) that is sure to be to my liking as I am a huge fan of DJ Wildfire!  She tends to play a great mix of the disco that I prefer and it keeps me on the dance floor.

I hope to stop into hear Shan Ottey spin a few tunes at the World Dance that is a great community event before the evening is over.  Shan does an amazing job and I love the multi-cultural aspect of this event - it is just plain good ole fashioned fun!  The challenge is that there is just too much to do in one evening.  I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do!  Ms T.
