If you’re named Shine Louise Houston, you can’t go into insurance. Houston was always destined for sexy things and as the mind behind Pink and White Productions, or “porn for pussies” as Houston describes it; she’s living the dream. This queer woman of color saw a dearth of appropriate porn for gay women—she worked at San Francisco’s legendary Good Vibrations store—so she created what she always desired. Houston doesn’t take herself too seriously or box herself in to certain roles or categories: “Pink & White is dedicated to producing sexy and exciting images that reflect today’s blurred gender lines and fluid sexualities,” according to the site, which has Houston describing her inner self as a 14-year-old boy. Houston’s first film for Pink and White Productions, 2005’s The Crash Pad, remains her most infamous. Garnering accolades and cult status, the film contains, “real sex, real orgasms, real sweat, real bodily fluids,” and “real laughter.”
Sossity Chiricuzio loves sex just as much as the four previous ladies, but she’s expressing it in a much different way than making films. Chiricuzio hosts “Dirty Queer,” an X-rated open mic at Portland, Ore.’s In Other Words Club. Held every second Friday of the month, at the subversive hours of 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., the event is not only about erotic poetry (though it has that), but also jugglers, dancers, and “gender performers.” Chiricuzio had long written hardcore poetry and short stories, so an adult open mic night seemed a perfect progression for the tatted gal. Ciricuzio is currently working on her first book and has already released a CD titled appropriately, “Hand to Mouth.”
