We had our first SWOP meeting and the turn out was better than I had expected. We had Serpent from SWOP-Chicago come and help guide us and answer our questions and tech about having our own SWOP chapter. Caludine, who runs the Bad Date List in Milwaukee and who works with youth in the sex industry came to share her knowledge. We had a few exotic dancers, a burlesque dancer and escorts who all will be key in keeping SWOP going and who were eager to help when they could. We had another community group to learn about SWOP and become an ally with us. A Broader Vocabulary was there, their a feminist bookstore and wonderful supporters of SWOP.
We have a lot of work to do and a lot to learn. With everyone being involved and our the support we have, I'm confident we will do great things with SWOP-Wisconsin.
When I came home that night, I felt like I just brought home a new baby.

SWOP this week!!!
Our first SWOP meeting is this week, on September 15!!! If there are any sex workers out there that would like to come and check it out, e mail me at becca@beccablossoms.com and I'll give you all the info. I'm super excited about this finally coming together. This could really benefit the sex workers and general community in Milwaukee. I'm really hoping for a great turn out.
I HAVE to recommend a book to ANYONE who will listen to me. It's called "If you have to cry, go outside", it's a very inspirational and real book. The author, Kelly Cutrone is a very real, honest straight forward person. This is hard to find in people and when I do find it in someone, I'm drawn to them. Speaking of people I'm drawn to, I have been reading about the controversy that surrounds Chaz Bono being on Dancing With the Stars. Its appalling that there are ignorant people out there threatening to boycott the show over him being on it. Really???? What year is this??? As far as I'm concerned, he has bigger balls than anyone who boycotts that show. Chaz had the balls to become his true, authentic self in the public eyes. Chaz is an inspiration to me. I don't know him as a person however, I will start watching Dancing With the Stars just to support him for be as courageous and inspirational as he is to me :)
