One Nation, Under Dildo

I pledge allegiance to PFLAG, and the United Gapes of America. And to the pubic hair for which it stands, One Nation Under Dildo, with sex and frivolity for all.


If only our national anthem sounded something like that...


What do you get when you give a sex worker a dildo, a glue gun, sequins, paint, and a thread and needle? Art, of course! $pread magazine, the now two year old magazine by and for sex workers, is unveiling more than forty decorated (and mutilated) dildos as part of its second annual art exhibition Sex Worker Visions.


Sex workers in Cleveland, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal and New York got together in their respective cities with craft supplies and dildos to make phallic creations that look like muppets, WMDs, and disco balls ... sometimes all at once. The larger show features a whole host of Fleshbot crush objects as well: Annie Sprinkle, Molly Crabapple, Zak Smith, and Vena Virago are all showing pieces about working in the sex industry.



Dildos - not just for vaginas and ass play anymore - there is so much more to them than just that. What would you do if you made an art project out of a dildo? I think I'd do a sword fight...nothing better than a good fight with a few dildos. En Garde!
