“The most incredible, shame-busting, heart-opening performance ever.” -Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D, erotic educator
“Watching Charla perform is like witnessing an expert markswoman at a skeet shoot—flushing out, taking aim, and shooting down ‘clay pigeons’ of sexual shame--POOF! Gone into thin air!” -Dinah Urell, Astoria’s Kala Cabaret Theater
“I’ve been a sex-positive activist for over ten years. I’ve read the books, joined the clubs, done my own shows; Naked is the end of the rainbow for me. Well done, Sister. You are an inspiration to all." -Audience member, Portland Fertile Ground Festival
