The fourth installment of Body Heat: The Femme Porn Tour is set to hit the road March 12th, 2010 with the tour beginning in Boston, Massachusetts and ending in Vancouver, Canada. In the Springs of 2008 and 2009, Body Heat toured nationally, and again with a smaller tour this past Summer which focused its efforts in the New England area.

This fourth line-up will feature Body Heat founder and spoken-word performer Kathleen Delaney (Atlanta, GA.), former On Our Backs editor, radio personality, and acclaimed author Diana Cage (NYC), Sister Spit vet, former slam champion, filmmaker, and writer Meliza Bañales (San Francisco, CA), published author and sex-workshop facilitator Jen Cross (San Francisco, CA), Nationally renowned singer / performer Nicky Click (Durham, NH), The Femme Show founder & performer Gigi Frost (Boston, MA), Mother Wit and Dirty Queer founder Sossity Chiricuzio (Portland, OR.), Erotic writer and versatile performer Alex Cafarelli (San Francisco, CA.), and Queer Drag King performer Al Schlong (Atlanta, GA).

Along with an arsenal of erotic song, dance, camp, poetry, smut, and prose they will also be joined by special guests along their various stops. Celebrated sexologists and authors Carol Queen and Shar Rednour are just two of the special guests that will join the tour in cities across the Nation.

Hailed by the Center for Sex Positive Culture (Seattle, WA.) as “The best Femme porn writers in the country,” this is the tour’s fourth outing, with their first taking place last year in April of 2008 and starting with a sold-out show at the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco, CA and ending in Atlanta, GA. The tour hopes to support and promote queer femmes in their contributions to erotica, the sex industry, the sex-positive movement, and in forming a more complex sexual identity through art and performance.

The tour is still accepting bookings and can be contacted through Myspace at: www.myspace.com/femmeporntour. The site also holds their tour blog and upcoming tour dates. If you are a queer femme who specializes in smutty poetry, burlesque, queer porn, and/or performance and would like to perform with the femmes on one of their stops, you can also contact us at femmeswriteporn@yahoo.com.

Body Heat would like to thank The Lloyd E. Russell Foundation and Carol Queen and The Center for Sex & Culture for their ongoing funding and support
