Things have been slow for IPFC this week. I’d love to devote more time to maintaining this site, but it’s still a side project for me (and it doesn’t pay the bills). It’s a fun side project, but I’m fresh out of school with student loans and a failing economy looming overhead…

In the hopes of putting more time and energy into IPFC, I’m adding yet another side project to the repertoire. I’d like to put together a fun, collaborative zine with contributions from past and current sex workers (not limited to those paying for college). I’m looking to collect short paragraphs, phrases, and “Mad Libs” style sentences with an emphasis on sex positivity and sex work awareness.

I’ll post a few prompts below, and feel free to leave a comment or send an email to ipaidforcollege [at] gmail [dot] com with your contribution!

I am a sex worker because…
I love it when a client…
My friends think…
I’m out to…
I quit my “day job” because…
I kept my “day job” because…
I feel the sexiest when…
To me, a feminist is…
When I’m not working, I’m…
If I could say one thing to make you understand…
I wish someone had told me…

If you post your name/alias, occupation, location, or web address with your contribution, I will include these in the zine. Feel free to include as much or as little additional information as you’d like. When the zine is completed, I’ll send a zillion copies to contributors for distribution!

Best wishes,

B.
