Book Launch Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Monastiraki, 5478 St-Laurent
Monastiraki is pleased to host the book launch of "My Secret Cockupation: The Private Journals of a Prostitute," this Tuesday.
From the perverted pen of Vancouverite Robin (Cinema Sewer) Bougie comes this latest instalment in his series of anecdotal sexposés, “My Secret Cockupation”! Following his other great minis, like “The John Project” (“interviews with dudes who pay for sex”) & “The Incest Project” interviewing actual people in unapologetic incestuous sexual relationships, this new zine’s filled with Bougie interviews w/a young prostitute he knows working in his area, Miss Jessica Vile, about how she got into the biz & her humorous adventures in whoring.
Each of these mags is predominantly text-driven, reprinting conversations & email correspondences, sometimes anonymously to respect certain parties’ privacies, but never embellished or censored, & laced with Bougie’s excellent realistic smutty portrait drawings of the characters in question, more often than not in lurid, candid poses.
It all sounds sordid but there’s an innocence & gleeful curiosity to Bougie’s technique of drawing out such true-to-life stories that makes you LOL rather than ralph or boo-hoo.
Bougie closes his tract with post-porn-modernist Annie Sprinkle’s 40 reasons “Why Whores Are My Heroes” manifesto (used w/her permission). The best measly 4 bucks you can spend, “CHEAP & EASY (to read)” as the cover boasts! - Rick Trembles
