An amazing woman, Claudin O'Leary, posted this link on one of my google groups.  It really touched me and goes against a lot of sterotypes out there.  I like to say "Sex worker are people too" however, I think my new saying is going to be "Sex workers are whole people".

As sex workers, we are up against some pretty tough sterotypes, misconceptions, and downright false statements and abuse.  As a sex worker myself, I hold my head high and live my life the best way I can.  I know I'm a good person as with most sex workers. 

Here's another video I found...all these woman are showing amazing courage :)

I've had a very fufilling experience this week...I was at the Human Trafficking Task Force Meeting with another SWOP-Milwaukee member.  This meeting was very informative.  I've never been a part of something so great and full of suc a diverse group of people working on the same goal.  We discussed the laws, the ones that are in place, ones we would like to see in place and laws that shouldn't be in place.  I've never been a part of something like this before.  Being involved in this is a learning experience and an opportunity to make things better for us all.  Im excited to see the results of all our had work :)

Did everyone get out to Pridefest this weekend?  I went to Pridefest in Milwaukee for the first time and I brought my daughter.  It was awesome, mind opening, educational, inspiring and simply fun.  I'm so happy I brought my daughter.  She will be next month.  Sometimes you wonder if what your teaching your kids is actually getting through their heads.  I believe that teaching my daughter acceptance, respect and love got through her pretty little head.  She was very mature, took time to stop and learn about different organizations, events and happenings in the gay community.  There was a booth for 24 year olds and under that offered games, prizes and education.  My daughter looked a little shy but paid attention.  She also donated some of her own money to the organizations that seemed to resonate with her. 

I was inspired by the people who embrace who they are and who they want to be.  Seeing anyone, in any community, that has the courage to be who they truly are in spite of any negativing that comes their way is inspiring.  I have a deep respect and love for anyone like this.  I saw a sign that said "Born This Way" and that stuck in my head.  I wonder how any of us who weren't born gay could possibly judge them or tell them they weren't born that way.  When a child is born with a birth mark, certain hair color or a talent for art or mechanics we don't try to tell them they weren't born that way so why do so many do it to anyone who was born gay?

Attending Pridefest only made me want to be more supportive of the gay community.  I will always do what I can do to support them, their rights, their children, their existence.

I saw on the news today that a Texas father found a man on his far trying to molest his 4 year old daughter and he beat him to death. As of the time of me writing this there were no charges filed and he wasn't arrested.  I say God bless him!!!  This man is a hero.  What parent wouldn't take down anyone who tried to molest their child? I know he didn't purposely kiss the bad guy however, the fact that he did probably saved other children.  I think the molester got off too easy.  He should have been beaten to near death then put in prison for life and all the prisoners told what he did.  This man gave that child a life sentence.

A friend of mine told me that civil rights groups are saying the molester's civil rights were violated and the father should be arrested and prosecuted.  REALLY?!?!?!?  The molester violates the rights of an innocent child and give her trauma that she will have to learn to deal with for the rest of her life and some cold hearted group that apparently has no regard to what was done to the child is going to stand up for the bad guy???  This is appalling.  How can they call themselves a civil rights group when they ignore the rights of the victim?

I'm not a supporter of killing people for no reason however, there are exceptions to every rule and when it comes to sexually assaulting a child, I have no problem with the bad guys being killed.  I have children in the world and if I caught anyone sexually assaulting the, I wouldn't hesitate to beat them either.

Way to go dad!!!  You will always be a hero to me.

I've been visiting Cleveland, OH since Monday and I must say, I absolutely love this city.  The people are wonderful, the food is great and I had a great time.  This was a dual purpose trip.  Of course, I was visiting and meeting fans and the second purpose was to get rid of my fear of road trips.  Since I totaled my van back in November 2011, I have been avoiding road trips.  About a month and a half ago or so I took the trip to Cleveland with a friend.  He did most of the driving and even though I was anxious, it wasn' bad.  This time I tried to drive myself and I'm proud I did well.  I did feel some anxiety however, it wasn't bad.  After I arrived, I felt like I kick the ass of something that has been controlling me and holding me back.  One of my biggest motivators is some trips I have planned with my kids and family and I didn't want to cancel them or miss out because I was too anxious to drive a long distance.  I'm driving home today and I'm ready for the trip!!!

Wow, things have been busy the past couple of weeks and they are going to stay that way all summer.  All good stuff!!   My 2 first scenes in a year came out with Naughty America. Go to www.becablossoms.com and follow the link.   I really felt rusty while shooting these but Yesenia and her crew really know how to make me look good :)  She is by far my favorite director and has been there since my first scene ever.  I'm so blessed to know such awesome people.

I'm going to be in Cleveland, OH June 11 - 13.  I'm meeting with my awesome webmaster to get things rolling on my website so I can give my fans more.  I'm also offering private time with any fans that would like to meet me also.  Contact me at becca@beccablossoms.com if you would like to hang out.  I've only been there one other time to go to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame with my friend and international Karate Champ Adam Brozer.  Cleveland looked cool but we didn't get to do much more :(

Pridefest is this weekend at the Sumnerfest Grounds in Milwaukee and I'm going to go check it out.  I've never been however, I'm really looking forward to it.  I love the community and will do anything I can to support them.  Everyone I talk to that has been in the past says it's a great time.  I would love to see my fans there!!!

I HAVE to give kudos to JC Penny and I must say I'm a new regular customer.  They put out and ad that featured two real life gay men and their children.  Good for them!!!  There is nothing wrong with the heterosexual family however, that's no the only kind of family in our country.  JC Penny did an excellent job showing a wonderful part of our community that doesn't get enough positive exposure from corporate America.  I was able to show this ad to my children and open a conversation in a positive, undiscriminating way.  Way to go JC Penny!!!

Here in Wisconsin we had a historic recall election for governor.  Scott Walker won...again.  I didn't vote for him however, I urge all Wisconsin residents to support him and allow him to do his job.  What's done is done he was the guy that won.  We can hope and pray for the best.

Lately I had a few e mails questioning me if my Tweets were true, am I really just a normal Midwestern mom.  I find this odd because I'm just me.  I am a normal Midwestern mom. I have 2 kids that have made me very proud by finishing their school years with excellent grades.  I do my own yard work, shopping, cooking, etc.  I live in a typical 3 bedroom ranch with a vegetable garden and pool in the back yard.  I drive my kids to school, take them on family vacations, clean my own house and all the other stuff anyone else does.  I don't do drugs, I very seldom drink, I love to run and I hate to scrub my bathtub.  I'm about as 'normal' as anyone can get.   I know, its not very glamorous but it's me.  I have a hard time being anything but who I am...I gotta keep it real :)

If anyone is in Burlington, WI stop at the tobacco shop on Pine Street, across the street form the police station and ask for Ron.  He refused to bring me ice cream one night when I was having a craving.  He's a great guy and he is part owner of the store.  Tell him Becca Blossoms needs ice cream!!!

Now it's time to go to my Slutwalk meeting.

Kisses,
Becca
