At the Sex Blogger Calendar release party I got a free copy of Whore Magazine in the awesome gift bag.
From Whore Magazine:
“Whore! magazine is a quarterly print publication dedicated to celebrating the current and historical qualities of women who have defined a role for themselves outside the status quo. Through written word, art, design, fashion, and music, Whore! magazine creates dialogue about what women are as opposed to what traditional society has dictated they should be. Whore! delves into issues largely untouched by mass media while reclaiming a derogatory word that has long been used to censure those who would desire, express, resist, or simply take a different path. By recognizing those women, both modern and historical, who strive for experience rather than conventional “goodness,” and continue to fight an age-old battle against expectation, Whore! explores important facets of culture, sexuality, ascendancy, shame, history, and the right to be.”
At the calendar party I got to meet Ginger, Irene and Jonathan from the magazine. This is a great magazine. I just filled out my subscription card tonight. Despite the name this is not a replacement to $pread Magazine. But they are sex worker friendly. Highlights from the first issue include articles on Victoria Claflin Woodhull and the history of vibrators.
I recommend Whore Magazine! You can subscribe here.
