$pread's dead, baby

I was always impressed with $pread magazine, not only for what it sought to do by sharing information about sex workers to other sex workers, but also that it was a volunteer run non-profit. I even got a feature in it, as photographed by Jenny Demilo of Dulce de Ojo.





From the site:

$pread is a quarterly magazine by and for sex workers and those who support their rights. We are current and former strippers, escorts, pro-dommes, phone sex and fetish workers, and porn stars of all genders. The magazine has a focus on personal experiences and political insights, and contains practical information like news, features, health columns, and resources related to the sex industry. $pread builds community in the sex trade by featuring the honest and diverse perspectives of those who know it best: the women and men, including transgender persons, who work within this sensationalized, highly stereotyped industry.

Unfortunately, it has become impossible for this great magazine to continue. Only one more issue is going to come out. I strongly recommend buying up old issues as I did, as I found them insightful and a pleasure to read. I really admire $pread's message and accomplishments in the all too short time of its publishing run. Especially the one I'm in here.

Other merchandise is also available, I could always use a pretty girl on my chest. Buy me this t-shirt!
