Sexy Exit

I’m feeling exhausted and hot this Thursday evening. I just want to call it an early night and get some rest before the long weekend coming up. I will be at my art show all day Saturday and Sunday. Tomorrow I will finish up with last minute details.

I don’t have much else to say so on to my list of books.

Top Ten List of Books

#4) Exit to Eden by Anne Rice. After studying English at UC Berkeley, I came one class short of receiving my bachelor’s degree. After 5 years of struggling to papers, I thought I wouldn’t read much for some time. Surprise! After reading so much literature, I picked up Anne Rice’s vampire chronicles. I was hooked. Soon after, I came across Exit to Eden. To my surprise, it changed how I viewed myself as a sexual being. I was about to turn 23 years of age and had I just moved to New York City. I felt sexually awakened in the city. Everything down to my clothes had a sexual aspect to it. I felt alive and amazing.

It was weird watching the movie version of Exit to Eden, as it was turned into a comedy staring Rosie O’Donnell. The book was in no way comedic.

In it Rice writes, “In love there is understanding, there is respect for the innermost secrets. There is compassion for the very root of desire itself.” Though I had highlighted these words, it wasn’t until many years later that I finally came to understand the meaning of these words. The ability to express true desire without being judged is most liberating.


The piece here is titled “Dita.” It is inspired from a photo of Dita Von Tess. She exudes true sexuality. If there were ever a ‘real’ erotic version of Exit to Eden, Dita would be my first choice to play the main character.

I think this is all for now. My brain is fading away.

Good night and Sexy Dreams to all.
