An Evening with Club 90: Golden Girls of Porn at the Museum of Sex on Tuesday, June 12th.

On June 12th, the Museum of Sex will have the special opportunity to host five female adult film stars from the "Golden Age of Porn": Veronica Hart, Gloria Leonard, Candida Royalle, Veronica Vera and Annie Sprinkle were the original "Sex and the City" girls. Turning to one another for the support they needed to navigate their way through life in blue movies, these dynamic women created "Club 90" in 1983, forming a bond that would continue for thirty years. They went on to pursue their personal goals, and in the process, blazed new trails in the fields of human sexuality, women's empowerment, erotic expression, and free speech. Come get a taste of the good old days when NYC was America's sex film capital, movies were shot on 35mm film, and Times Square was x-rated! Most of all, come share the laughs, the drama and the intimate stories of this controversial support group. This rare reunion promises to be candid, informative and electric!

BIOS

Candida Royalle?, president of Femme Productions?, is best known for having pioneered the concept of adult movies from a woman's perspective for couples to share. A former actress during the "golden age" of adult movies, it is her work as director/producer of 18 internationally acclaimed erotic movies of which she is most proud. Continuing to innovate in the field of sexuality, she partnered with Dutch Industrial designers, Groet Design to create the revolutionary line of Natural Contours? sexual wellness products. In 2004 Simon & Schuster published her first book, How to Tell a Naked Man What To Do: Sex Advice From a Woman Who Knows, followed by the paperback in February '06. Candida Royalle? has become a sought-after speaker, having lectured at such venues as the Smithsonian Institute, the American Psychiatric Association's national conference, and the World Congress on Sexology, as well as several sexuality conferences and universities including Princeton, Columbia, Wellesley College and New York University. She is a member of the American Association of Tips: Find Street Fashion Online(may be you can find what you want on the oasap.com) Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists, (AASECT) and a founding Board member of Feminists for Free Expression (FFE).

Veronica Vera is author of two books: Miss Vera's Crossdress for Success (Villard, 2002) and Miss Vera's Finishing School for Boys Who Want to Be Girls (Doubleday,1997), both are based on Miss Vera's Finishing School, the internationally known, world's first crossdressing academy which she founded in 1992. She is a respected visionary in the transgender community. Prior to that, in the early 80's, after leaving her job as a Wall Street stock trader, Veronica wrote hundreds of articles on the subject of human sexuality. In many of them, she was an active participant exploring her own sexual issues. She testified for freedom of expression before Arlen Spector and a committee of the Senate Judiciary. Her testimony was later incorporated into the Meese Report. Veronica starred in a number of adult movies, collaborated as a model with Robert Mapplethorpe and other artists. In 1989, she helped re-organize P.O.N.Y. (Prostitutes of New York). Veronica is a founding member and on the Executive board of Feminist for Free Expression. See, http://www.missvera.com.

Annie Sprinkle Ph.D. was a NYC prostitute and porn star for twenty years, then morphed into a performance artist and sexologist. She has passionately explored sexuality for forty years, sharing her experiences through making her own unique brand of feminist sex films, writing books and articles, visual art making, theater performances, and teaching. Annie has consistently championed sex worker rights and health care and was one of the pivotal players of the Sex Positive Movement of the 1980′s. She got her BFA at School of Visual Arts in NYC. Annie Sprinkle is the first porn star to earn a Ph.D., which is in Human Sexuality. She's a popular lecturer whose work is studied in many colleges and Universities. For the past 11 years she has been collaborating on art projects with her partner, artist and professor, Elizabeth Stephens. They are movers and shakers in the new "ecosex movement," committed to environmental activism. They started Occupy Bernal (San Francisco) where they live.

Veronica Hart aka Jane Hamilton, a UNLV graduate with a BA in theatrical arts, has performed on stage in many roles and became a star in adult cinema's golden age in such classics as "Amanda by Night", "Roommates", and "Wanda Whips Wall Street". She has won Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in the Eroticas and Critics Adult Film Awards and is included in several Adult Hall of Fames. Veronica has performed in over thirty R-rated movies and numerous television appearances playing Viveca St. John in "Six Feet Under", the custody judge in "Boogie Nights" and Veronica Del Rio in "One-Eyed Monster". As Jane Hamilton producer and as Veronica Hart director, she has made over twenty features for VCA and also produced Michael Ninn's features.
She produced and directed three r-rated features for Mainline Releasing Group, produced the horror film "Parasomnia" with William Malone directing, and is now working with author/director John Skipp to produce "Rose" a bizarro zombie musical. A former board member of the Free Speech Coalition, Veronica is the mother of two fabulous young men, works at the Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas and is in a wonderful relationship with her high school sweetheart, Stan Clawson.

Gloria Leonard. In a career which both began and ended behind the scenes, front and center is where Gloria Leonard spent most of her professional life. Whether as an actress or director of such adult classics as "Misty Beethoven," "Fortune Smiles," "Taboo: American Style," or as a much sought-after guest on countless talk shows (Oprah, Geraldo, Maury, Larry King, Howard Stern et al), Gloria is an enigmatic presence whose patrician earthiness vies with a disarming intellect for your attention. Ms. Leonard has also been the host of her own television shows – "The Leonard Report: For Adults Only" and later, "Gloria Leonard's Hot Shopper Hour," a humorously hedonist paean to TV home shopping which featured sexy merchandise, interesting guests, film reviews and comic relief. Vogue magazine's review recommended that the Fox Network snap her up. Gloria's fourteen-year stint as Publisher of High Society magazine often thrust her into the eye of intense media hurricanes. She pioneered both the publishing of "celebrity skin" (Margot Kidder, Ann-Margret and Barbra Streisand all attempted to sue) and the then controversial concept of phone sex, a case which went all the way to the Supreme Court, ultimately ruling in her favor. With Gloria at the helm, High Society became one of the best selling newsstand magazines in America. Ms. Leonard is an ardent feminist and First Amendment advocate who has debated extensively on the issues of pornography, censorship and their impact on the women's movement at dozens of colleges and universities. She has served as President of the Adult Film Association, Administrative Director of the Adult Video Association and is two-term President Emeritus of the Free Speech Coalition. Gloria Leonard was born in New York City and single-handedly raised a successful, charming daughter, who in turn, has a daughter of her own. Yes, Gloria is a Grandmother.

Brides-to-be Prepare to Snag Dream Gown at a Bargain Price at Filene's Basement's Running of the Brides Sale

Hundreds of brides-to-be are expected at the legendary Running of the Brides? sale on June 3rd, all looking to snag the wedding gown of their dreams at a bargain price. At 8:00am the brides and their helpers will burst through the doors of Filene's Basement in Union Square to wade through over two thousand gowns. So deep are the discounts, many customers will literally pounce on dresses priced from $249-$699 that might otherwise cost as much as $9000. This year, the first one hundred brides-to-be in line will have a chance to win a $249 gift card to purchase their gown.

Filene's Basement is partnering with Slim-Fast? to help brides get the perfect fit in the perfect dress for the big day. "We know looking for the perfect dress at a great price is a primary concern for many brides," said Joel Feigenbaum, president and COO of Filene's Basement and its parent SYMS Clothing. "But we also know brides want to look their best on their big day and Slim-Fast? can help. Filene's Basement and Slim-Fast? are a good match women's coats – we both want to help brides look picture perfect on their wedding day."

The racks are stripped bare in less than 90 seconds as the brides and their teammates grab the first dresses they reach. Then it's time for the women to strip down to leotards, sports bras or even underwear to try on gowns right there on the sales floor.

But what happens if a petite bride snagged a size 14 dress in pink chiffon when she really wanted a size 4 in white satin? That's when the real fun begins, as the women barter to find the right dress. Some even display their own "trading" signs bearing the style and size they're looking for. It's a ritual that turns Filene's Basement into an old-fashioned bazaar. If the dress doesn't quite fit or it needs a little pressing, the staff from Meurice Garment Care will be on-hand to work their magic, and the bride can still come out way ahead.

For brides who don't like crowds there are plenty of great deals to be found later in the day when things calm down. Whether you get there at 8:00am for the 'rush to the racks' or plan to arrive later, bring a camera—veterans of this sale agree, it's an experience worth preserving.

The Running of the Brides? sale takes place Friday, June 3, 2011 from 8:00am to 10:00pm at Filene's Basement, 4 Union Square South (14th St. between University & Broadway), New York, NY 10003.

Eva Alexander’s Tips on Dressing for Success by Creating a Stylish Capsule Maternity Wardrobe

Eva Alexander Maternity is well known for its gorgeous maternity wear designed for women who love beautiful clothes. Worn extensively by executives, professionals and media personalities, Eva Alexander knows how to create high-quality well tailored maternity clothing for the career oriented mum-to-be.
Having received rave reviews from its' clientele, Eva Alexander shares with us a few tips on how a woman can create a sexy sophisticated capsule maternity wardrobe so that you can always look and feel fabulous throughout your pregnancy.
Maternity Wardrobe Essentials

Fashion is heading in the direction of "fewer better clothes". Similarly, dressing for maternity can be done on a budget when you focus on purchasing a few good quality simple but classic pieces that you can mix and match to vary your look. You can achieve your capsule maternity wardrobe by thinking about what pieces you will wear most and invest in those first focusing on basic colours such as black, ivory, navy, grey, brown and nude colours that can easily be matched with other colours in your wardrobe.

The basic maternity essentials that you will need are:

•     a classic white or ivory maternity shirt
•     a good pair of black maternity trousers
•     one or two tailored maternity skirts
•     one or two colourful maternity tops
•     the quintessential little black maternity dress

With this selection of separates you can mix and match your pieces to create a versatile wardrobe.

If you're planning on having more than one child, remember, quality is important. All too often women on their second child pull out their maternity clothes from the first looking a bit shabby and worse for the wear. It's better to invest once in a good maternity wardrobe rather than twice in a lesser quality one. Eva Alexander suggests investing in pieces that are durable, high-quality and easy to care for check out Eva Alexander's Essentials collection or pieces that have been specifically designed to adapt to your changing body shape and can be worn even after pregnancy like the Merino Knit Maternity Dress

Maternity Work Wear

As a general guideline, w women's coats hen it comes to dressing for the office, career oriented mum's to be, should stick to their normal office wear making a few modifications for their maternity. In certain professions such as lawyers, bankers and accountants, a more formal appearance is required and a maternity suit in colour that says 'take me seriously' such as black, navy, dark brown or gray is a must have.

The Little Black Dress – Always elegant, classic and smart, a black dress made for maternity is perfect for the office, a smart dinner, evening with friends or elegant events out during your pregnancy. A good maternity dress is ideal for showing off your figure while also feeling comfortable. Look for maternity dresses that are either tailored or invest in a good maternity wrap dress .

Maternity Shirts – When deciding on maternity tops, longer tops work especially well, gracefully hiding your growing tummy without drawing attention to it. In particular look for cotton shirts in a stylish but sophisticated style, wrap shirts and elegant tunics. Silk tunics are ideal because they offer a pop of colour with a touch of luxury.

Maternity Suiting- If you're used to wearing suits to work, there is no need to stop when you're pregnant because a good suit creates the perception of a competent professional. It's also important to have a power outfit for those special meetings, client engagements and presentations. It is now possible to find beautifully made maternity suits that are tailored and made from appropriate suiting fabrics.

Maternity Trousers - Wide-leg maternity trousers look best on taller woman while smart tailored trousers are best for women who are shorter. The ideal maternity pant should have an adjustable waistline that is completely hidden so no one can ever see any embarrassing stretch panels while you're giving a presentation in a board meeting.

Maternity Skirts – Your maternity skirts should match your suit jacket and be hemmed at mid-knee or below. Maternity pencil skirts always look smart when paired with a blazer or jacket creating an attractive and professional silhouette.

Maternity Blazer or Jacket - Never underestimate the power of a suit jacket. The jacket is the most versatile piece of maternity business wear that you can have in your wardrobe. With the right jacket you can dress up or down to suit the needs of your personal preference and the degree of casual or professional attire you need to wear to the office.

Gay Millionaire Ends Silence About Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger's Outdated Views

Matt Siegal, a successful gay entrepreneur who starred in an episode of Patti Stanger's hit TV show The Millionaire Matchmaker that has aired dozens of times as of this month, today spoke out for the first time about his exposure to comments about gays that Stanger made during the weeklong taping of his episode. Siegal's decision to talk about his experience follows Stanger's recent public apology for comments she made about gays and Jews.

"There were a number of comments and crude sexual gestures that shocked me. She said that gay men only care about sex and aren't interested in monogamy," said Siegal. "I decided not to speak out before because I knew that Patti would eventually out herself, so to speak," said Siegal. "It was inevitable that she'd make similar comments again before cameras over which she didn't have editorial control."

The episode in which Matt Siegal appeared was called "Cookies and Ice, and Everything Nice," a reference to the fact that he is the CEO of Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet (http://www.CookieDiet.com), an international nutritionals brand, and that his date threw a glass of ice water in his face during one of the scenes. The basic premise of the episode was that Patti determined that Matt's clothing and accessories were too flamboyant and that his only hope of attracting men was to change his appearance with the help of Patti and a straight image consultant she recruited. Patti took Matt to a New York clothing store where she and her consultant picked out an outfit for him to wear at a social gathering of prospective dates that Patti had selected. The two experts insisted that his wearing the outfit they'd selected was essential if Matt was to attract "the kind of men you're interested in."

"The outfit they picked out for me was a plain t-shirt under a black leather biker jacket, blue denim jeans, and big black boots. I looked like the picture you'd expect to accompany the definition of the word 'gay' in an illustrated dictionary from the 1970's," said Siegal. "It was very Tom of Finland."
Matt arrived for the next day's taping at a chic New York nightclub wearing an outfit quite unlike the one that Patti had selected: a button-down Gucci shirt with a bright, multicolored pattern of geometric shapes, slim cut gray Prada slacks, and black leather ankle boots.

"When the cameras started rolling and I walked into the scene, Patti went berserk," said Siegal. "She said that I looked like 'Liberace on steroids' and demanded to know why I wasn't wearing the outfit she'd picked out. I told her that it was because it just wasn't me."

According to Siegal, he was offended by the Liberace comment and called it "homophobic" in the presence of the crew and other guests. His comment did not make it into the final edit although a similar comment in a later scene, during which he called Stanger "homophobic" and "ageist," was included.

"She called me a pedophile because I said that I was attracted to men in their mid-twenties and thirties. I wonder if she would have called a straight man a pedophile for being interested in women in that range," Siegal quipped.

According to Siegal, when he saw the episode for the fi women's coats rst time when it debuted on December 28, 2010, he was disappointed with the message it sent.

"Gay people spent decades fighting for the right to be themselves, to openly express their individuality without being told by straight society what types of relationships, clothing, entertainment, and other matters of personal choice were normal," said Siegal. "It seems to be a step backward having a heterosexual spinster telling a gay man that he won't find love unless he stops being himself and starts being who she says he should be."
