The new Center for Reproductive Rights video is out and your humble Sin City Siren is in it! Check it out!
Today I have a guest post from Seattle-area journalist/blogger and new-mom Kris Hill. Yesterday I got my hair cut for the first time in nearly year. In fact, the last time I got my hair cut was the week before I went to Las Vegas on vacation last March. I go to a local place…
I just wanted to give a shout-out to some of the AMAZING blogging I’ve seen today for Blog for Choice Day! (You can check mine in the previous post.) If you didn’t see these, check ’em out! Get your Roe v Wade history here. The theme of this year’s Blog for Choice Day is “Trust…
There’s already been some fantastic blogging for choice this week — in honor of the 37th anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision that established abortion rights nationwide. (In particular, I really like this post about the intersection of the Rape Culture and Reproductive Rights. Seriously, read it!) And, of course, I wanted to be…
At work today a trio of us, all women, were working to sort some large stacks of files. And as women often do, we started to chat while we worked. I do not know how the conversation took this turn, but somehow we started talking about bad childhoods and the traumas we survived. Admittedly, it…

Sirens, will you help me move up by voting for me? (I’ve also received a vote in the #politics category — thank you ProgressNow Nevada!) Not following…
Like a cautious groundhog, I’ve ventured outside my bed today. I’ve been at the mercy of a seriously wicked cold (and, of course, pregnancy makes nothing easier). But today I say, “Back foul beast!” And for at least a few moments I’m winning against the mucus-machine backed up by the percussive coughing and wheezing fits.…
I’ve been struck by an evil cold and this is the first time I’ve been out of bed and on a computer in at least 5 days! Send me positive thoughts for recovery. And until next time enjoy this nugget … The Southern Nevada Health District, AFAN, The Center and AIDS Healthcare Foundation are providing…
