"Live Nude Girls Unite!"
Thursday Jul 9, 8PM @ Red Emma's
Red Emma’s Summer Screening Series continues on Thursday, July 9th, 2009, at 8pm. We’ll be sitting down, eating some popcorn, and watching the documentary, “Live Nude Girls Unite!” “Live Nude Girls Unite!” is a brave documentary about union organizing. However, it’s a unique spin on your usual labor film (in a completely rad way!)- for, this film is a first-hand account of the dancers at The Lusty Lady who formed the only union of strippers in the entire United States. Julie Query, an activist and one of the dancers, films the disenfranchising of the dancers, their struggle to bring equality into the workplace, and their eventual success! It is an extremely clever, playful,provocative, wise, and inspiring film that examines worker rights, sex worker rights, and makes powerful arguments for equality- be it, for worker equality, gender equality, or racial equality--in honest and unpretentious ways. We’re also thrilled to announce that the great folks over at Sugar (http://www.sugartheshop.com/) are our co-sponsors for this particular screening. We hope you’ll not only come out to watch the film but also to come hear about the great work that our friends over at Sugar, the self-described, “.. lesbian owned, women and trans operated, for profit, mission driven sex store,” are up to these days. Then hopefully we can engage in a bit of discussion on Sugar and their work, “Live Nude Girls Unite!”, and anything that fits your fancy. Come out for the second night of our summer screening series! You won’t be disappointed!

Julie Query is a LGBTQ and media activist, a comedian, the daughter of a famous feminist activist, and also a dancer at The Lusty Lady. In her directorial debut (along with a remarkable Vicky Funari) she films the disenfranchising of the dancers, their struggle to bring equality into the workplace, and their eventual success!
