Feminist Pornographer

Published July 31st by Betty Dodson

After my first successful exhibition of heterosexual lovers in 1968, I found myself on a popularity skyrocket. Having a show of erotic art was like displaying a big advertisement that I'd be fun in bed. Many interesting Prince Charmings were available to me as I waltzed into the glittering world of the rich and famous. Artists have always been able to break out of the rigid class structure that we all pretend doesn't exist in America. I'd already dated a big name politician, a movie star, a well known author and lots of wealthy jet setters who lived here and abroad. My girlfriends were telling me now was the perfect time to score a rich husband. But with all the social invitations pouring in, I had the luxury of being a sexually liberated woman who could say "yes" to men who intrigued me and "no thank you" to one's that didn't. I was going to be a famous artist and make my own million. Although the money never happened, I had a million dollar sexlife.

Seattle's Grand Celebration of Art and Eroticism

David Steinberg has given us a great view of Seattle's Erotic Art Festival, one of the most progressive cities I've visited. The DVD of me lecturing with slides of my art was filmed in Seattle where the food is fabulous and the people are very aware, they think "green" and keep a clean city. Yeah. I could do some some real nice sex art in the near future as soon as our website gets settled (to the right is a piece from my art collection to debut on the site later in June). I told Carlin this week in Phoenix that I could see me sitting at my drawing board in my nineties creating some visually hot shit!!! Oops, there I go with my potty mouth again. Creating some hot images:

It's a sad truth, and something hard for me as an erotically patriotic San Franciscan to admit, but the most significant and exciting fine art erotic event in the U.S., year after year, takes place not in San Francisco but in Seattle, home of the Seattle Erotic Art Festival (SEAF). SEAF just had its seventh annual erotic fine art exhibit and celebration, April 30-May 3, proudly proclaimed to the public at the 30,000-square-foot Seattle Center Exhibition Hall, once home to the World's Fair.
