Get a Room! is a film series created by Marije Janssen that runs in Amsterdam and Utrecht, pretty much monthly. Later this month, she’ll be hosting an evening of feminist porn classics, including Fatale’s Clips. There are more details about the event at the Get a Room! Facebook page.
If you haven’t seen Clips, it’s a worthwhile blast into the classic past. Truly, the first time anyone had seen what Nan had on offer.
We had the pleasure of meeting Marije earlier this year at the Feminist Porn Conference in Toronto. During “Lesbo Retro: A Dyke Porn Retrospective,” Nan told Shar Rednour that the scene in Clips was indeed a first.
Marije says, “The Get a Room! series is a grassroots initiative, to create discussion, fun and awareness around sexuality, gender identity and sex-positive feminism.”
You can find and follow Marije and Get a Room! at www.twitter.com/vialuce.
Nan says of the Get a Room! event, “I only wish I could attend! I love Amsterdam. In the 1990s all of Fatale’s movies were screened at a GLBT film festival. The Fatale movies were shown at a public bathhouse, using mounted trampolines for screens. It was a screening/sex party. Fantastic! So, I have fond memories of Amsterdam.”
Yours in good love and sex,

Toronto Porn Weekend
Tuesday, April 16th, 2013We’ve been traveling the last couple of weeks, off to Toronto for the first annual Feminist Porn Conference, where Nan and Shar Rednour gave a great presentation on lesbian porn from the 1960s – 2000s, “Lesbo Retro: A Dyke Porn Retrospective.”
But best of all, Nan received the Trailblazer Award at the Feminist Porn Awards on Friday night!
We’ve posted some pictures and will post more.
For our friends who weren’t there or couldn’t make it this year, here are some completely subjective notes, and links to more resources. Don’t miss the piece in the Daily Beast.
The 8th annual Feminist Porn Awards were held on Friday night, April 5, 2013, at the Capitol Events Theatre in Toronto. Good for Her, the sponsors, put on a stellar show. There were performances by Coco La Crème, Lena Love and Axel Blows & Mahogany Storm. Friends from near and far were all in attendance, including Courtney Trouble, whose Lesbian Curves won Hottest Dyke Film.
The FPA Trailblazer Award given to Nan was a complete surprise! Shar Rednour presented it, and you should have seen the smile on Nan’s face!
To see the entire list of award-winners, check out Good for Her. Kudos to Good for Her diva Carlyle Jansen for a spectacular party.
For an excellent overview of the Toronto weekend, don’t miss the Daily Beast article by one of our favorite people, Rachel Kramer Bussel (www.rachelkramerbussel.com), “Organic, Fair Trade Porn: On the Hunt for Ethical Smut.”
For the weekend told in Tweets, check out Storify, a compilation by Tristan Taormino of #FPCon tweets that really does express the excitement of the weekend!
You know where we’ll be next year for the 2nd annual FPCon for sure!
Yours in good love and sex,
