Body of work: from porn to mainstream

A woman of many parts … Sasha Grey as Chelsea, a high-priced call girl in The Girlfriend Experience, which is screening in competition at the Sydney Film Festival.

Go, Sasha, Go! Although, it is somewhat Story of O. I am surprised by the surprise that Sasha's story provokes. As Soderbergh says towards the end of his interview. "Sasha has a 5 year plan, that's something most of the GfE's we interviewed had."

She's in control, somewhat. At least she is more successfully exploiting the situation than most. GfE is now the euphemism for call girl, or escort. Sex worker doesn't get a look in! Now that looking and moving like a pole dancer is compulsory in youth culture, I'm waiting for a rise in the status of sex work. Bring it on, baby.
