Hi there and welcome to the Bodi Storytelling Podcast. I am sexual folklorist Dixie de La Tour and This is episode 81. I just got back from an epic trip to my hometown in Virginia. I'm going to tell you about that in a minute, but first I want to tell you about something that is urgent that I need your help with. You may have heard a few episodes ago where I talked about Nancy Donoval, the award winning storyteller who has been battling MCS multiple chemical sensitivity for decades. She's been unable to work most of the time. She's existed off the kindness of friends who have guest rooms. And she has been teaching storytelling at a community college very part time. Not enough to support herself. That's been going on for a long time. And then she recently interviewed for a job at the premier school for storytelling in the U.S. east Tennessee state University. It's where the National Storytelling Conference happens. They are one of the best storytelling programs out there. She got the job and now we have to get her as soon as possible to this job. She found a home that can deal with her multiple chemical sensitivities. She's found a place to live. She's got the job and she needs our help to get her there. We have a GoFundMe for her and so far we've raised less than $1,500 but it's going to cost us about $15 per mile and it's just over 1,000 miles to get her entire life to Tennessee for this new job, herself, her belongings, her entire Existence needs to be in Tennessee for the upcoming school year, which means she's moving in the next two weeks to get everything there and to be set up for this new job, she needs to get from St. Paul, Minnesota to Johnson City, Tennessee, and she needs our help. We have a GoFundMe. Please give whatever you can so that we can get Nancy Donoval to this incredible new job. She is in her story right now. Things are happening right now and everything hangs in the balance. We need the generosity of people who can get my storytelling mentor, my hero to this incredible opportunity. It's going to take money up front to get her there. If you've listened to my stories, so many of them were coached by Nancy Donoval. So I'm going to have a link to the GoFundMe in the show notes or you can google Nancy Donoval and her last name is spelled D O N O V A L. And giving whatever you can will help us change the story. Her life is changing from being somebody who was reliant on other people to someone who controls her own destiny. You can change the story. You can do it. Please give generously. And I'm going to tell you a little bit about my visit to Virginia. I grew up in a small town called Montville, Virginia, and my mom celebrated her 80th birthday this week. Back in December, somebody gave her a Wonder Woman doll as a Christmas present and she burst into tears and said Wonder Woman was her childhood hero. So we started planning a Wonder Woman themed 80th Birthday Party and all her kids flew in. I have a bunch of brothers, their wives, their kids all flew into Montville, Virginia to throw a surprise party. Now, you'd think if all your kids were in for your 80th birthday, you would have put that together. And she knew that we were probably gonna get together and maybe eat some form of potatoes because I swear to God, I sat down to one meal and she offered me barbecue chicken with on the table to go with them asides. Potato chips, fried potatoes or potato salad. Three kinds of potatoes. So I was back in potato land this week. We knew that we were gonna do some sort of picnic or potluck. It's 100 degrees. It's pretty much July, you know, her birthday was June 28, but it was pretty much July in Virginia, which means over 100 degrees with 91% humidity. And we rented an enormous space in our hometown and all her little old lady friends and all the people who loved her brought in potlucks. We had so many different kinds of ambrosia salad. We had deviled eggs. We had way less sugar than we usually have at these things because usually there's nothing but sugar on the table. We had an enormous sheet cake with Wonder Woman on the top that said, happy 80th birthday, Edna. And when she walked through the front door, she was surprised by her entire community and her kids and her grandkids waiting for to wish her a happy birthday. People got on the mic and they read poems and people told stories and it was a really beautiful day. One of the best parts of this day was I have a friend Robina. And Robina is a burlesque performer and she often comes to bawdy storytelling dressed as Wonder Woman because she is an incredible wonder woman. And I had said the thing that would make this birthday for my mom is if we could tell her that a world famous Wonder Woman impersonator was flying into Montville, Virginia to help us throw this party. And so when Wonder Woman walked in with her golden lasso and her amazing brunette hair, when she walked in the room, all eyes were on her figure. And people would come up and they'd say, who are you and what are you doing here? I'd say, well, mom's a really big deal. So we flew in this Wonder Woman impersonator from Oakland just to be here today for mom's birthday. When I left, I heard my mom on the phone with one of her friends talking about the party. And the thing she said was, do you know that they flew in a famous Wonder Woman impersonator for my birthday party? Don't tell her. But really, it was my friend Robina who flew all the way to Virginia to make my mom's 80th birthday special. Mom said it was the best birthday party she'd ever had. And I'm exhausted from travel today, but it was totally worth it. OMGYes.com is a website about women's sexual pleasure. When it comes to the actual ways that people with vaginas touch themselves or the way that partners touch women, there are a lot of myths out there. So OMGS decided to do the first ever large scale scientific research, interviewing over 20,000 vagina havers aged 18 to 95 about what actually felt good to them and why. What they found was that of course people with vaginas vary in what they like, but there are also a lot of shared techniques. OMG yes is explicit. But these videos aren't intimidating.
