At our annual A-Camp event this month, many humans gathered in a shared space to undergo a sacred ritual: making collages about their sexual desires/feelings while listening to me read aloud an erotica story about Catherine Zeta-Jones that our Design/Marketing Director wrote when she was 15. To prepare, I spent countless hours ripping pictures out of various used photograph books, desperate for diverse and queer-adjacent imagery and the work, my friends, was worth it. These are the collages that resulted from that life-altering experience, titled by their authors. Y’all are so talented!!!!

Oh my god, these are AMAZING! I seriously would love to have these images in a book,or on my walls. So good.
These are inspiring!!! ?
WOW!!!!!!!!!
I missed the picture taking that happened!
send your collage to sarah [at] autostraddle and we’ll add it!
Bless ALL of your collages, but a special shoutout to the Pony refs. Thanks to Be Steadwell’s cover of that song at A-Camp, it will always be a queer anthem to me. Also, 1 million thanks to Sara(h?) for the choice CZJ erotica ??
These are SPECTACULAR and was truly my favourite workshop from camp.
And also if it is not too much trouble (we REALLY love you), my Pynk Flamingos had the following requests:
– The masterpiece known as Cosmic Breasts should actually be rotated 90 degrees to the right and ideally would be named “Cosmic Tits.”
– Amy C (Welcome to Dyke Cuntry) actually goes by Ames.
u got it, updated <3
You’re a human treasure. <3
I WILL KEEP TRYING
I’m gonna go take a nap
Catherine Zeta-Jones Is just that inspiring

Friendly reminder that Catherine Zeta-Jones makes out with Rooney Mara in the movie Side Effects! Kind of a mediocre movie tho haha
