Join us for a provocative evening with porn star and proclaimed “girl-pervert” Oriana Small, AKA Ashley Blue, for a profound view of the intricacies of her last decade in and out of the adult film industry, love, and drugs, and her voyage toward what it means to live ecstatically — as depicted in her new book, GIRLVERT: A PORNO MEMOIR. Oriana will be reading from her book, accompanied by a slide show featuring stills from her movies.
With guest introducer and moderator CAROL QUEEN,
founder of the Center for Sex and Culture.
