Beat this! (poetry slam on a theme)


During the last half of my radio show, I usually challenge guests and/or callers to some kind of improv game. For example, a few weeks ago I had my colleagues Scarlet and Lovelylaura spin out a joint sex scenario using three random words. I can’t remember all three words, but one was “Crisco”. You can imagine where that went.

This week Scarlet was back on and she wrested control of that segment out of my hands, by giving me the assignment: slam poetry about phone sex. I’ve only ever heard poetry slam stuff, never done it, but I took a breath and launched in. Today I went back and listened, and whoa. I don’t know where that came from, but here it is, a literary launch to your weekend.

if you were to walk in right now
if you were to hear me say the words
cock cunt fuck me oh yes
you’d see my eyes closed and you’d think
yeah she’s into it, she’s got it going on
she’s feeling it hard, she’s feeling it deep
my eyes closed
she’s got it going on
fuck yeah fuck me oh daddy
what you don’t see
what you don’t know
behind my closed eyes and the fluttering eyelids
and the light that flashes through
I’m seeing a video of what’s going on
I see a video of what’s going down
I see a video of me going down on him
I see a video of everything I say
goes straight to my mouth to my brain
and right out my eyes
shooting out on the screen that’s happening behind my eyelids
behind my brain
it’s all happening in my head
there’s room for fifty people up there
there’s room for a cast of thousands in my head
and it’s all being projected on that screen
behind my eyelids in my head
you don’t see that do you
you walk in you’re going to hear it you’re going to hear it
oh yeah fuck me suck me eat me
I’ve got my eyes closed and you think I’m leaning into it
you think I’m enjoying this stuff
you think I’m rocking on my chair because yes I love it so
no no no
that makes the video projector work better
it makes it work faster
gives it real time feel time
right there on the back of my eyelids
I got my eyes closed so I can see what I’m doing
I got my eyes closed so I can see exactly what needs to be done.

(I’m testing my audio editing skills to see if I can pull the excerpt of the show with this bit in it. Let’s see, shall we?)(UPDATE: done and done! Click the link below and snap along for that real beat experience…)

Cam does some slam



Catching up with Cameryn (good luck!)


Sorry for the light posting this last week or two. I was prepping for my Whore-a-thon fundraiser last Wednesday–we raised over $400, thanks to some dedicated listeners and my pledgemaster’s commitment to the cause, as witnessed by his promise to remove items of clothing for pledges received. Now that’s what I call incentivizing! We have pulled in $1760 in grants, donations, sponsorships, and pledges, which is more than a third of the way there to our $5000 goal by October 15. The campaign continues, so please make your donation today!

I spent the rest of the week calling around various sex and fetish-related internet stores to see about business sponsorships for the 2010 Phone Whore Tour. And let me tell you, that’s a lot of calling! I knew the internet was for porn, but holy spank store, Batman, my spreadsheet is filling up fast. (Hey, my fellow PSOs! I have a special sponsorship deal for you, if you want to get in on some Phone Whore action. Drop me a line and let’s talk.)

OH! In addition to being a cheap fundraiser option, the Whore-a-thon was meant to launch my eponymous radio show in prime fashion, and it did. I’ll be starting up the regular run of Cameryn Moore Phone Whore this coming Wednesday, September 16, with the live show at 4:30 pm EST and a repeat of the show running at 11:30 pm EST. My special guest from the Whore-a-thon, Scarlet, will be co-hosting the first regular show with me this week, and we’re excitedly planning a future in guest appearances and audio collaborations. Call-in is available for the live show only, but you’ll be able to chat with me, Scarlet, and other friends during both runs. Get details at my BlogTalkRadio page!

Do not worry, friends and fans. I will be back in blog-tastic order this coming week, when I stumble around for meaning at the intersection of race, desire, and fear… in short (or long, ba-dump-bump), the issue of the Big Black Cock.



Dialing for Dollars and Pimping for My Play


Just got word over the weekend that the Phone Whore 2010 tour received its first grant, a $500 seed grant from the New England Leather Alliance. Holy spit-shined boots, Batman, we’re getting legit!

This also means that Phone Whore (”a one-act play with frequent interruptions”) only has $4000 to go to cover entry fees for eight Fringe Festivals in the Canadian Fringe Circuit lottery, and believe me, people, I will be pimping for dollars on a regular basis. I’m even hosting a three-hour online radio event on September 9, with some friends and fans running a PBS-style phone bank in the next room.

In the meantime, if you feel the urge to donate now, go to my donate page and do it. And here’s the wonderful new fine print for my fiscal sponsor. Thank you, NELA and ISWFACE!

The Phone Whore 2010 tour, produced by Little Black Book Productions and co-presented by NELA, is a fiscally sponsored project of ISWFACE, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization. Contributions in support of Litttle Black Book Productions’ work are greatly appreciated and may be made to ISWFACE, earmarked for “ISWFACE artist approved project named LBB Productions”. All contributions are fully deductible to the extent allowed by law.

*****************

“But Cameryn, why don’t you just sell those audio stories you keep going on about, and fund the project that way? This makes you sound like a charity.”

First of all, Phone Whore—the play—is a charity. That is, it’s a fiscally sponsored project of a 501(c)(3) organization. One of the perks of operating as a non-profit is getting to be even more shameless about asking for money.

Second, I just moved here to camerynmoore.com (still putting paint on the window trim, kinda thing), and here I have an actual for-profit storefront for my audio raunch. Sex does sell, obviously, and it’s going to be paying my rent, people.

But art (even with sex in it) needs extra support. The Phone Whore 2010 tour is a separate endeavor, and it’s art, and it needs your help to launch. And that’s what this donation drive is about.
