Sex Workers and Media Representation
Sex workers and the sex industry are frequent topics in the media, whether as the center of a sex scandal, the subject of an expose, or as the source of discussion around sexuality and morality. This session, led by a former sex worker and editor of $pread magazine, is a combination of media analysis and brainstorming on ways to affect change in the ways sex workers are represented in the media. Anyone interested in sex workers rights, challenging mainstream media, and DIY new media is encouraged to attend.
News For March 23rd, 2008 :: a look back at bellavendetta.com
My friend Lux Nightmare, who happens to write for the online sex culture site, www.flshbot.com recently posted an article saying goodbye to BellaVendetta.com, and along with it she posted a gallery of photos documenting some of our more "extreme" content over the years. It's a good chance for non-members to see what they'd been missing all these years!

News For March 19th, 2008 :: PLEASE READ!!! good news and bad news
PLEASE READ!!
So, as some of you may have read, we recently lost our billing due to our “Extreme Content”
I’ve spent the last few weeks really wondering what the best solution was, and what I wanted to do.
I’ve been working on BellaVendetta.com for nearly 6 years, and it is an enormous part of me. All of the people that make it up, the models, the photographers, the writers, makeup artists, graphic designers, webmasters, fans and members have ALL made art, photos and expressed themselves in wonderful, kinky ways, and it feels great to have been able to make that happen for everyone.
The long and short of it is, I cannot show the blood play, nekro fetish and other “Extreme Content.” Unfortunately, for many people, this is the reason they join the site, this is the reason people contribute to it, because you can see things and do things on this site that you can’t see find anywhere else. If I remove all that content and keep the site gong as another fetish or glam site, that would just kill me inside. There’s already plenty of those sites all over the internet.
So, it’s with a heavy heart that I announce I’ll be taking down BellaVendetta.com from the internet. I know, I know, it’s a sad sad day. BUT the plus side is that I’ve grown so much in the last few years that I’m really ready to move on and try new things.
SOOOO, I’ll be launching a BRAND NEW site in the next couple months. You’ll be able to see loots more of me, and even a handful of the Revenge Krew models and photographers too!
More details soon, as soon as this is all sorted out.
In the meantime, please keep checking this news section and our myspace page:

News For March 9th, 2008 :: ATTENSHUN EVERYONE!
It kills me to have to write this, bt I've put it off long enough, and have to tell all my members, models, fans and photographers some very important news about the site. Mastercard recently made their terms of agreement extremely stringent on what they will and won't accept in terms of adult content. Visa and Mastercard run all the billing companes internationally so we all pretty much have to abide by their rules.
For the last 4 hyears I've been dealing with Hughes Billing, and they've been great. But Mastercard is not letting them do the billing for extreme SM sites and any site with blood,horror or "violence towards women" as content.
Unfortunately for all of us, my site falls under all of those categories.
You may have noticed that if you tried to buy a membership in the last few days you weren't able to.
That's because my billing got pulled.
If you currently have a membership you'll be able to log in until it expires, bt you will not be able to renew.
I've been scrambling around for the last week trying to find a good solution to ths problem, but one has yet to present itself.
I honestly don't know what I'm going to do yet. I was given the option of removing all the objectionable content, but, that's about half the site, and I think I'd rather see the site die all together than have it's artistic integrity compromised.
I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do yet.
I might take it down alltogether, I might make it a free site, I might change my name and leave the country, I might just explode.
This site and the people involved in it are a HUGE part of my life.
The Revenge Krew is more like my family than my actual family.
But, I also feel I've sacrificed so much of my life to make this site possible for everyone, it might just be time to move on and do something just for me.
You'll notice that some of our affiliated sites also have no billing right now, like brutalmaster.com and eroticred.com.
So, I'm sorry to say that until this is figured out, we can't sell any memberships.
I'm sorry everyone. Hopefully this is all resolved one way or another very soon.
