The windows in my den and kitchen face the east, and they are as bright as headlights as the day begins. It is a lovely place to sip coffee. For as long as I can remember, my parents loaded us in the car at 9:30 every Sunday morning and headed to Sunday school. We went to Commonwealth Methodist Church, which was a new church in a new development east of down- town Charlotte. Independence Boulevard was brand new, and my family lived nearby in an adorable little house that was built in the 1940s. The roads on the way to church had giant trees and manicured lawns, but noth- ing was ever too rich or fancy. The streets on the east side make me feel at home. I love to walk in my neighborhood or almost anywhere close by. It is rare to meet local Charlotteans who have lived here all their lives, but I just happen to be one of them. The radical changes that are taking place all around will turn your head as you ride by and wonder what used to be there. Not too long ago, Charlotte was considered to be “vanilla” – all Southern charm with no substance or edge. That is no longer the case, and the spicy flavors of many cultures can be savored in the upcoming “Taste of the World” event on October 3rd sponsored by the board of CharlotteEAST. We hope you will come out to support our local businesses and restaurateurs. This issue of Charlotte Living is near and dear to my heart, and we are thrilled to be part of Charlotte Fashion Week 2018. The official guide for this exciting event is printed in these pages. You will love the extraordinary styling and fall fashion by the best of the best in our fair city. This is the perfect time of year to explore the Charlotte Museum of History or window shop along Central Avenue. You will be inspired and entertained, but be sure to stop and experience the deli- cious cuisine in the neighborhood. We hope you enjoy our look at the east side and the many heartwarming stories in this issue. Come join us for dinner and take a walk to fill your heart and soul!

Yet from a contemporary standpoint, the historical narratives prompted in the licensing of her name and image flatten her past into a palatable emblem of 1950s pin-up culture. In this article, I interrogate the ways Page’s image has been mobilized since the 1950s. I propose a cultural biography of Bettie Page attuned to her queer communitarian circulation in order to counter the nostalgic sanitation of her image since the 1990s. In November of 2017, several media industry and gay press news outlets announced that Violet Chachki, drag performer and 2015 RuPaul’s Drag Race season seven champion, would front an advertising campaign for a Bettie Page-inspired lingerie line by London-based brand Playful Promises.

  • Rope Bondage 101
    Rope Bondage 101 Overview Bondage and restraint is a common fantasy for many people. Some prefer the struggle and potential for escape, others enjoy feeling of capturing and holding another person in captivity. Rope bondage can be used as a utilitarian restraint used for further play, or as an end unto itself with complex patterns and forms, designed to beautifully captivate a willing participant. This workshop covers safety concerns surrounding rope bondage, rope materials & selection, basic knots, and simple restraint ties. What follows from this base is a comparison between Western and Eastern rope styles along with an example of a Japanese tie. The workshop winds down with some tips and tricks for improving your bondage skills and an overview of resources available in print and on the internet. This guide is written as instruction to the person applying the bondage, the term partner is used to indicate the person on whom the bondage is being applied. Bio I’m a fun‐loving rope geek and sex educator who has found a home in the Midwest United States kink community. When I’m not traveling to events, I contribute to the Iowa State University CUFFS group, and serve on the board of Minneapolis TNG group Min‐KY. Although I’m a relatively new member of the scene, I’ve presented at numerous events across the country, including Kinky Kollege, Shibaricon, Denver Bound, and Beyond Leather. As a presenter, I aim to provide a comfortable down‐to‐earth learning environment for all genders, orientations, and experience levels.

While the campaign was largely applauded, there was a degree of negative criticism in the form of cis chauvinist comments that usually misgendered Chachki, who self-identifies as genderqueer, and asserted that lingerie should be exclusively worn by cis women.

The Women’s Art Institute 20th Anniversary Exhibition Artists’ Biographies and Statements The Catherine G. Murphy Gallery St. Catherine University St. Paul, Minnesota September 7 - October 19, 2019 Curators: Elizabeth Erickson Patricia Olson A.K. Garski What is Forbidden? The Women’s Art Institute 20th Anniversary Exhibition 5 Creating the Women’s Art Institute Each year, we carefully study the applications and, we disperse the scholarship funds. Then, we find new articles and images to add into the curriculum and, through our conversation, we come into a place where we are reminded of our specific purpose—to change the world for women, and therefore for men, and ultimately to stop wars. Early in my career as an artist and educator, I recognized the social agreements that built the patriar- chy, as did my colleague Patricia Olson. We first met when we, along with several dozen other women, founded the Women’s Art Registry of Minnesota, a women’s collective art gallery in downtown Minne- apolis in 1976. These were the years when more and more women worked to articulate their under- standing of this perception for themselves, and we felt their company through their books and speeches. After that, action was the only choice. And so, we began the first Women’s Art Institute at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1999. Since then we have been teachers, mentors, facilitators, and cheerleaders for over 300 women artists during the past 20 years.

  • BUNNY YEAGER How I Photograph Myself
    BUNNY YEAGER How I Photograph Myself July 25 – August 29, 2015 Gavlak Los Angeles proudly presents a solo show of photographs by artist-model Bunny Yeager, including hand-painted photographs of Bunny with Bettie Page, numerous self-portraits, and images that reveal behind the scene secrets to how she created her work. Born Eleanor Linnea Yeager in Pittsburgh, PA in 1929, Bunny passed away in 2014 in Miami, Florida. The ironic innocence of Bunny Yeager’s pin-up format compositions is palpable in the current pop- historical climate in which pornography is an explosive international industry, with a panoramic range between entertaining and damaging. In such a climate today, Yeager’s work, and even her pseudonym “Bunny,” operate like time capsules from a softer, less harsh, more voluptuous day. Both she and her subjects embrace the performance of a sticky-sweet, hyper-gendered sexuality along with a highly studied, poolside elegance where everyone plays along with full disclosure. What sets Yeager apart is her intentional authorship as a woman photographer in a man’s world of looking at women. The multiplicity of identities she assumed for her herself and her “girls” is itself a lifelong conceptual act, as is the conscious presence of the camera as a second subject or muse. The apparatus is often revealed in her glamour shots, as if to reinforce her authorship as photographer. Yeager was a model, beauty pageant queen, promoter, author, designer, scriptwriter, wife, mother of two, and a sought-after photographer and artist.
