Sirens, I hope you will support me — better yet, support women in our community and across the country — by joining my team or giving a donation to my team for the National Abortion Funds’ Blogger Bowl-a-Thon! The dual goals of the National Abortion Access Bowl-a-thon are to raise awareness of economic barriers to…
It has been a long-time goal of mine to have more regular guest writers representing the diversity of feminism and our society. So I am really excited to introduce Siren readers to the newest guest writer, Jane Heenan. Jane is a counselor, an adjunct instructor at the College of Southern Nevada and may be known…
Even though I can’t enter The Vagina Monologues photo contest, I still thought it would be fun to take some photos of what makes me happy and hopeful for a sexual-violence-free world. (PS: There’s one day left to enter the contest! See below for details and rules!)
Have you taken your photo for The Sin City Siren Vagina Monologues photo contest, yet? The winner will receive two free tickets to one of the local productions this Friday or Saturday.

Fret not, dear readers, Siren HQ has been relocated and is going strong. 🙂 With all the commotion and moving…

I am cautiously making my way back to the living after suffering through a bought of stomach flu that started on Sunday. It’s taken me a week to work my way up to chicken soup! Honestly, I haven’t been that heinously sick since I was a child! But I will spare you the gory details…
As I mentioned in the last post, I’ve been very busy with a water-damage-related homeowner problem.
