Slutever Hosts “Streets by VICE: Los Angeles”

Hi, it’s Karley! I hosted this new documentary for VICE about the history of Sunset Boulevard. Slightly random…. but interesting! This is part of a new series called “Streets by VICE” which looks at a city through the history of one iconic street. For this doc I got to meet and interview one of the most iconic sex workers ever, Norma Jean Almodovar, who left her job at the LAPD to become a prostitute, and is now a legendary sex worker activist. Oh and I also shadowed a paparazzi lol. Watch it below :) Continue reading “Slutever Hosts “Streets by VICE: Los Angeles””

Be Here Nowish: Ep 1 Free Here :)

As people who read this blog remember, the second season of Be Here Nowish (the web series I play a supporting role in and helped write) came out last month. The show is about two sexually progressive women who move to LA in search of a spiritual awakening. It’s super lol, and sweet, and queer, and if you’re into new age culture (or if you like to laugh at new age culture) then I suggest you watch it :) The first ep is free above. The next 5 eps can be rented for a total of $3.99. Look—I know everyone likes free stuff. But $3.99 is the price of a coffee. (Or at least a coffee in New York.) And the money means that the people who worked really hard on this show can at least break even, so thanks :) Oh and p.s. I’m not in ep 1 but I’m in most of the others lol.

London’s Female Drag Queens

Vice just posted this awesome video, which I wanted to share with you. It’s about female drag queens and gender performance, which is something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately, after recently reading Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble, which was the first book to theorize that gender is a cultural construct, and that we’re all performing our gender all the time. 

Drag has been a gay man’s art for decades, but women can be queens, too :) I highly recommend this 8-minute doc about a group of super cool female queens in London, directed by Adri Murguia

Finding Love and Pizza in RAC’s “Back of the Car”

This music video is so lol, I had to share it with you. It’s the new video for RAC’s single, “Back of the Car” (ft. Nate Henricks). Directed by Alex Karpovsky and Teddy Blanks, starring Saturday Night Live‘s Sasheer Zamata and me, Karley, as extremely desperate, pizza-loving lesbians :)

There’s a Dating App for THAT?!

There’s an app for everything these days, so if you’re a picky dater, you’re in luck. I went on the Huffington Post LIVE yesterday and talked on a panel about the new boom in niche dating apps—from apps specifically for stoners, to apps designed to hide sexts with your side-bitch—and how they’re affecting sex and relationships. The video is about 20 minutes and you can see it above :)
