Queerstories

Zahra Stardust shares her worst - and most hilarious - stripper fails. Zahra has travelled the world as an award winning striptease artist, pole instructor, porn star and Penthouse Pet. Since realising corporate law was not the best fit for her, she has worked in sexual health and human rights with the United Nations, in policy and leadership positions at ACON, the Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby and Scarlet Alliance, and as a Teaching Fellow in criminology at UNSW. Currently Zahra is finishing her PhD on feminist pornography in Australia and has published in books such as Queer Sex Work, the DIY Porn Handbook and Coming Out Like a Porn Star. She recently painted her kitchen rainbow. Queerstories is an LGBTQI+ storytelling night programmed by Maeve Marsden, with regular events around Australia.

The Queerstories book is published by Hachette Australia, and can be purchased from your favourite independent bookseller
