Showing results for "The Dress" in Sex Instruction

Monica Lewinsky is back in the news. She's written a story for Vanity Fair in which she talks about her affair with President Clinton. Susie was glad to read that Lewinsky is candid about the affair being consensual. What is troubling to remember, though, is that back when this happened, Lewinsky was portrayed as a slut. Susie says there is so much more to this whole story, and she reads from an article she wrote for Ms. magazine that looks into Monica's background.

Next, some charter schools in Chicago would rather make menstruating young women wrap a sweatshirt around their waist than let them use the bathroom.   

[Contains explicit content] In this 2004 show, Susie's guest is Veronica Vera, founder and dean of Miss Vera's Finishing School for Boys Who Want to be Girls and the author of Miss Vera's Cross-Dress for Success. Susie's first glimpse into Miss Vera's copious collection of lacy underthings was a true introduction to Miss V's dedication to all things womanly. At her cross-dressing academy, men (and some women) sign up for classes to learn the fine arts of being a woman.

Today Susie speaks with legendary author Walter Mosley. His new book Debbie Doesn't Do It Anymore is about a woman who's had it with the porn industry. Mosley may be best known for his best-selling mystery series featuring Easy Rawlins. Susie asks Walter about how he researched this book and how he knows about porn. They also talk about exploitation, black identity, sex work, writing for Hollywood, "sexistential" novels, and how to stay young as you get old.
