Ellen/Annie
I was born Ellen Steinberg
but I didn't like "Ellen", so I decided
to recreate myself as Annie Sprinkle |
 |
Ellen is excruciatingly shy. |
Annie is an exhibitionist. |
 |
 |
Ellen is fat and
ugly, and nobody seems to want her. |
Annie is voluptuous
and sexy, and lots of people want her. |
 |
 |
Ellen desperately
needs more attention. |
Annie Sprinkle gets
it. |
 |
 |
Ellen wears orthopedic
shoes and flannel nightgowns. |
Annie wears six-inch
spiked heels and sexy lingerie. |
 |
 |
Ellen is afraid
of men and sex. |
Annie is fearless. |
 |
 |
Ellen is a nobody. |
Annie Sprinkle gets
asked for autographs. |
 |
 |
Ellen is boring. |
Annie is exciting. |
 |
 |
Ellen wants to get
married and have children. |
Annie wants fame,
fortune, and a career. |
 |
After all these years, as hard as
it is for me to believe, I've realized that Ellen
Steinberg really must be Annie Sprinkle. And the
truth is, Annie Sprinkle still is very much Ellen
Steinberg. |
| Annie/Anya At
a certain point, with the AIDS crisis and growing
older, I felt like a new personae had emerged.
I call her Anya. |
