The Jewel of Storyville

Posted in Uncategorized on June 27th, 2010 by

A teaser from The Jewel of Storyville, one of the hot new stories in D. Alexandria’s This Is How We Do It:

It started with my hips. My legs widened and the soles of my feet pressed into the soft mattress, giving my hips the leverage needed to lift against my hand . . . the burning was spreading now, down my thighs to the tips of my toes and up to my breasts, each nipple feeling as if it could be ignited at any moment. Never in my life had I felt so inflamed and so quickly ready for release, that it took my very breath away.

It was when I heard the groan from across the room, and my eyes flew open, I realized why.

Shhh

A teaser from Shhh, one of the hot new stories in D. Alexandria’s This Is How We Do It:

Despite knowing we had limited time, I still wanted to draw this out as long as possible.

“Sweet Jesus…,” she groaned.

“Shhh.”

“I need you. Now. Please.”

I was tempted to ignore her, but she pushed herself against my hand, forcing my finger to slide further until it hit her opening…

And then we heard the noise.

We froze.

A teaser from When She’s Mad, one of the hot new stories in D. Alexandria’s This Is How We Do It:

“Lee, what kind of fucking game are you pla–,”

I pulled her back in my arms, kissing her even harder as I spun us around so she was against the car…

“Lee, you know you wrong…,” She hissed.

“I want you.” I whispered in her ear.

“Fuck you.” She breathed.

Julia Wallace of Queer Renaissance and Alexis Pauline Gumbs of BrokenBeautiful Press have joined forces to create A Queer Black Mobile HomeComing, a project to collect and amplify the social organizing herstories of black women who have been refusing the limits of heteronormativity and opening the world up by being themselves. Traveling the US in a mobilehome, the duo “will also be documenting this shared journey using video technology, new media, blogs, and scholarly articles and collecting artifacts to supplement existing archives that honor the sacred herstories of our elders.”

Alexis and Julia

  • Hear them discuss the project on Sippin’ On Ink
  • See an example of the types of stories/knowledge they plan to collect and share: So You Know
  • Watch their (ultimately) successful journey to find an RV…
