DESCRIPTION:In this powerful storytelling performance, award-winning performer Kimberly 
 Dark shares stories from her new book, Fat, Pretty, and Soon to Be Old (AK 
 Press, 2019), in order to remind us: “You don’t owe anyone pretty,” 
 and “We are creating the world, even as it creates us.”\nIn this moving 
 and hilarious show, Kimberly Dark invites her audience to live in the 
 experience of the body, not the appearance of the body. Drawing from her 
 own experience as a fat, queer, white-privileged, recently disabled, 
 inevitably aging, gender-conforming “girl with a pretty face,” Kimberly 
 Dark deftly blends storytelling and social analysis to reveal the presence 
 of everyday appearance privilege (and stigma). Join her to explore how the 
 architecture of this social world constrains us and how we might help one 
 another break free.\nTuesday, December 10/, 7pm at Counterpulse, 80 Turk 
 St, San Francisco, CA 94102\n$15 suggested donation, with no one turned 
 away due to lack of funds. \n---\n"Sexy and often fearless and real ... 
 Kimberly Dark is hilarious and heart breaking." —Terese Mailhot, NYT 
 bestselling author of Heartberries\n“Nothing is more brilliant and juicy 
 to me than a woman stepping fully into her self—mind, body, and spirit, 
 full throttle, without apology ... Kimberly Dark has been illuminating the 
 path for a long time.” —Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Chronology of 
 Water and The Book of Joan\n"Dark explores the real of her own stories to 
 question the currency of beauty and appearance. What have we actually been 
 sold? What have we bought into about our bodies? Has the exchange ever 
 really been worth the price?" —Sonya Renee Taylor, author of The Body is 
 Not An Apology: The Power of Radical Self Love\n---\nKimberly Dark is a 
 writer, sociologist and raconteur, working to reveal the hidden 
 architecture of everyday life one clever essay, poem, and story at a time. 
 The author of three books, ten plays and numerous essays, she’s been 
 touring internationally for more than twenty years. More at
