Photo by Craig Seymour

How lucky can a boy be? A writer for Guide Magazine called me up while I was driving down to Chicago for an interview. They're doing a short profile on my work as an activist-researcher, which is pretty effing fabulous! But the icing on the case came a short bit after the interview, when the writer called me back to ask if it might be possible to set me up with a photographer in Chicago for a photo shoot while I was in town. Oy vey! Well color me embarrassed! I was a bit overwhelmed. But of course I agreed!

So Saturday morning I met up with Craig Seymour, who's a lovely writer/photographer whose just recently published a book, All I Could Bare, about his experiences as a stripper in DC during the 1990s (see his blog. here). When he arrived, we both realized that shooting outside was not practical -- it was probably negative 10 degrees outside. Gross. So we instead went up to my hotel room and set up a few shots. Above is one of the outtakes, which I think is particularly sexy. And yes, I'm sitting in the bathtub! Anywho, Craig was a real sweetheart and left me a signed copy of his new book! I look forward to reading it next month on the beaches of Acapulco! Thanks, Craig!

The article in Guide will be out next month. I'll post it here when it drops!
