In 1999, I went to meet Nina Hartley at an autograph signing. I
got there an hour early and brought an envelope with slides of my
paintings and a letter about artporn, figuring she'd be interested in my
stuff because she starred in the art movie Bubbles Galore. I was
surprised to find out that she was doing the autograph signing naked.
Anyway, Nina Hartley seems like a cool chick. She considers
herself a proactive feminist and sex-educator, and I'm sure she had no
interest in my work; I got a very patronizing: "Oh art! I love
art."
