Audacia Ray – April with Sinclair

I blogged a little bit last week about the 2010 Sex Blogger Calendar – which in my opinion, is a pretty perfect holiday gift for your favorite perv – its $20 plus shipping, and you get a free download of my comedic short Dacia’s Love Machine. But there is backstory to the photo I posed for with Sinclair Sexsmith. Our photo was taken by the talented Amanda Morgan

Here’s a little of what Sinclair said today about the choice we made:

The theme for this calendar was “SEXUAL FREEDOM,” and while Dacia and I were discussing what to do, we both were inspired to feature something very New York-y, since New York has been a big part of sexual awakening for both of us. I moved here almost five years ago now, and my sex life and sexuality has changed significantly since I did.

We talked about iconic photographs and couples that we could imitate or reproduce, and eventually settled on the famous shot of the sailor kissing the nurse in Times Square. Amanda was totally game for it (though she insisted that we shoot early in the day so we’d have the best light), I hunted down a sailor suit, Dacia queered up her nurse outfit, and voila, there’s the shot.

An homage, of course, to Alfred Eisenstaedt’s famous photo taken on V-J Day in Times Square, 1945.

Our image was shot very early in the morning – we met in Times Square at 7:30 am, I believe I was up around 5:30. Being in Times Square at that time of morning in a waist cincher is kind of a weird thing. But one of the best things about that morning (other than the obvious of wearing fabulous outfit, making out with hot butch) was the fact that it was July 28th – my fifth blogoversary. Shooting an image like this with one of the excellent people I’ve met because of blogging, for the 2010 Sex Blogger Calendar? Yeah, that was a really nice way to celebrate.
