Carol's spoken word trip backstage at the Lusty Lady (back before it was a co-op, in the early '90s) has delighted crowds in Washington DC, Seattle, Boston, Madison, Toronto, and elsewhere... and next summer, she's thinking about taking it all the way to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! But this weekend she trots it out to benefit CSC and the Jon Sims Center, which has so kindly hosted several displaced CSC events this fall. Come hear her stories from the Private Pleasures Booth and find out what a dildo, a ruler, and Bible have in common!

Saturday and Sunday, 12/16 and 17, 9:30--5 -- Sex It Up “Flirtshop” Weekend Intensive with LASARA FIREFOX!

How to get all the Love, Connection, Sex and Affection you Desire! Internationally known “Flirt Guru” LaSara FireFox is bringing fresh, fun flirting skills to the masses with her soon-to-debut, weekend-long Sex It Up Seminar. The seminar offers a revolutionary - yet entirely accessible - approach to getting all the love, connection, sex and affection you desire. Those who attend the Sex It Up Seminar are in for a vibrant, refreshing, stimulating crash-course in human interaction. From the basics of “boundary play,” to perusal and application of the science of attraction, to unlocking the mysteries of sub-verbal communication, FireFox offers students the building blocks to mastery of flirting skills.

If you’ve had your ear to the ground in San Francisco’s sex-positive scene, you’ve probably heard about FireFox. Local legend Dr. Annie Sprinkle says “The woman is powerful and hot hot hot!” Susie Bright, the original “Sexpert”, says “LaSara FireFox is a dazzling inspiration and firestarter to everyone who encounters her.” Porn legend Nina Hartley says FireFox is a “wonderful, unique, smart, funny, sexy-as-hell woman.”

You may have flirted with the “Flirt Guru” yourself at a San Francisco Sex Information event, a Last Gasp party, on a foray to a local dive bar, or at one of the many sex-positive soirees around town. If so, you’ve experienced the power of FireFox’s flirting technique first-hand!

If you frequent Good Vibrations, the center of the sex-positive retail universe, you may have heard about - or even attended - one of FireFox’s incredibly popular flirting workshops. You may have seen her in action on “Life and Style” (Sony Pictures Television), “Penn and Teller: Bullshit!” (HBO), or “Sexcetera” (Playboy Television).

Now, after years of having students of FireFox’s direct, engaging and highly effective flirting techniques ask for more, FireFox is delivering – and delivering BIG - with a full weekend of “hot, playful goodness!” at her Sex It Up Seminar – at NO COST to participants! FireFox’s newly launching company, The Ecstatic Presence Project, is offering full scholarships to this fantastic, weekend-long flirt fest! Additional Seminars are being offered in Santa Rosa on Jan. 13 & 14 as well as Santa Cruz on Feb 10 & 11.

About LaSara FireFox
LaSara FireFox is a writer, ritualist, sex-positive activist and educator, and designer/facilitator of a variety of interactive, exploration-based workshops and rituals. Her first book, Sexy Witch, was published in 2005 (Llewellyn Worldwide). LaSara believes that the most revolutionary, and perhaps evolutionary, act we can engage in is to become healthy, strong and empowered. She lives with her two daughters in the wilds of northern California.
