I have two new loves in my life, photographer Hassan Kinley and Karin + Raoul, an ever growing cultural source with magazine, tv, blog, gallery and store offshoots. I have the honor of being featured in the current issue of the magazine, titled Addiction, which features artful, sumptuous and sexy imagery, shot by the talented Hassan Kinley. It is a genuinely beautiful adventure through sex, art, fashion and culture...which makes you feel like you have been privileged to peek inside some one's erotic imagination.
I came to museum work because I'm more inclined to sit with a pile of books than to be a diva in front of a camera, but Hassan coaxed me through every step and understood that always difficult balance of wanting to appear like a professional, but still be a young woman who works at the Museum of Sex. In trying to balance my desire to be that combination of sex and intellect (and of course have a little fun, it is the Museum of Sex) Hassan knocked it out of the park. It isn't every day your work requires you to take pictures with white tailed deer engaged in group sex or with a book dedicated to the butt, but then again I don't have an everyday kind of job. Here is a link to flip through the whole issue digitally: http://bit.ly/eUUky1 To read the article on me, how I came to the Museum of Sex including a shout out to Curatorofsex.com turn to page 46, but don't miss all of the incredible sex related content throughout the rest of the issue and be sure to visit www.karinandraoul.com/
