Portland, Oregon is home for a bigger than life character named, Storm Large. She’s a towering blond beauty, and a performer with a passionate, worldwide following. She’s sassy, fun, and unashamed about revealing ‘the real storm’. Her music reflects her values, which boil down to tolerance, kindness, and compassion.
Storm Large is not just a talented, charismatic stage presence. She is also a gifted writer. On the opening page of her deeply personal, very engaging autobiography, Crazy Enough, Storm admits that she knew she was a slut when she was five years old.
Storm doesn’t view the word slut in the ugly, pejorative way that society has labeled it. In her parlance, a slut is a female, who pushes the envelope; a risk taker, who lives life fully, warts and all. Storm makes no apology for being a rebel, with an outlier personality. She has lived her life brazenly, stepping onto uncharted territory all along her life journey.
We love Storm, because we see her as one of us. She is a woman, who wears her good-natured, slutiness on her sleeve. She embraces being a sexy lady. She relishes her playful, naughty fun. She smiles a lot, and laughs a lot, and enjoys being a unique, out-sized personality.
On the opening page of Crazy Enough, Storm tells us, “People think I’m nuts… They think I’m a boot-stomping, man-chomping rock and roll sex thug with heavy leather straps on my well-notched bedposts and a line around the block of challengers vying for a ride between my crushing thighs…”
Storm calls it her manufactured mythology. To us, she is having a good time, living life fully, and unapologetically.
These days, Storm is the brassy chanteuse for the globally celebrated, Portland based pop orchestra, Pink Martini. At the moment, Storm, her big pipes, and her Pink Martini buds are in Europe, selling out concert venues across the continent.
There is one piece of Storm Large music that particularly resonates with our nation of sluts. It’s a song titled, My Vagina is Eight Miles Wide. It’s a friendly but firmly delivered demand for an equal and respected place for women in modern society.
Here is a bit of the lyrical magic of, My Vagina is Eight Miles Wide…
now I am not loose and I’m not a whore
this is a metaphor for
my super vigantastically mystical feminine goddess core
and I hate it when women make that noise
that we don’t need daddies, men or boys
even the hard-core dykes like
cock-shaped sex toys
Hell, yeah. That is the brand of feminism we Citizen Sluts embrace. We love men, but we expect them to accept us as equals without compromise, and to appreciate the things that make us different, and to see our interests, our desires, and our worldview, as worthy of respect.
Storm Large is a slut hero. She is an icon for all we stand for. Her ‘Vagina’ anthem is an exciting affirmation of who we are.
