IN BRIEF
: Adventures in Advertising” aims to address
concerns of how images we view in advertis­
ing can skew our understanding of body im­
age, as well as why advertisers choose to use
digital manipulation to sell their products.
A panel of interdisciplinary scholars and
members of the advertising industry will be
on hand to explore these issues. The panel is
being presented as a part of the Mad World
virtual symposium—a project that focuses on
generating discussion about how advertising
informs our identities and ideas about gender
through a variety of community events.
The discussion will be held in the White
Stag Event Room of the University of Ore­
gon’s Turnbull Center (70 NW Couch St.)
on Wednesday, October 20 at 6:30 p.m. The
event is free and open to the public.
Turn the calendar ahead a month and
mark Thursday, November 4 for two more
anticipated local events. The kickoff for the
2010 Siren Nation Women’s Music and Arts
Festival, “Sometimes a Great Notion,” will
feature a group of talented women artists
from the Pacific Northwest at Albina Press
(5012 SE Hawthorne Blvd.) on November 4
from 7 to 10 p.m.
The art show will include new works by
Anna Magruder, Emily Katz, Beth Ann
Short and many more. The event is free and
open to all ages. The Siren Nation Fest will
continue with live music showcases Novem­
ber 5-6 at the Someday Lounge, featuring
Anomie Belle and Annie Bethancourt on re­
spective bills. The festival culminates on No­
vember 7 with the Siren Nation Art and
Craft Sale at McMenamins Kennedy
School.
November 4 also marks the 17th anniver­
sary of In Other Words Women’s Books and
Resources. Under the theme “Taking Root,
Taking Flight,” the celebration will go down
6-9 p.m. at the North Star Ballroom (635 N.
Killingsworth) and include hors d’ouevres,
live music by Bear Feet and appearances by
zinester Nicole Georges, poetess Alysia An­
gel and writer Carrot Quinn.
Admission runs on a sliding scale of $7-
$20, and tickets can be purchased in advance
through Brown Paper Tickets.

Equity Foundation Gets
Bent for Halloween
The spirit of Halloween comes to life this
October 30 at the Equity Foundation’s “Bent”
costume gala. Dubbed a “Hallow’s Eve Ball,”
this star-studded event promises to be a good
time for a good cause.
The party, which takes place at the Left
Bank Annex, begins with a patron dinner at
7 p.m., followed by the ball at 8:36 p.m. (note
the “off-kilter” time). The night’s highlights
include emceeing by the illustrious Poison
Waters, DJs Aquaman and Beyonda facing
off in an all-night duel, a performance from
the Brazilian samba ensemble Lions of
Batucada and an exclusive “Bent” cocktail
from Rogue Vodka.
The evening’s costume contest will be
judged by local luminaries Byron Beck and
Inessa from KINK FM’s morning show. Cat­
egories include Best Individual, Best Group
and, of course, Most BENT. Overseeing the
whole affair is filmmaker Gus Van Sant, who
serves as Bent’s honorary event chair.
Proceeds from Bent benefit the Equity
Foundation, which for more than 20 years
has worked to end prejudice against sexual
and gender minorities in Oregon. Equity
does this by raising money and then giving
grants and scholarships to those who share
its aims.
Equity’s hopes are high for Bent.
“The event’s goal is to raise $50,000 toward
Equity
Foundation’s community-based
grants and scholarships for LGBT students
in Oregon,” said Equity Executive Director
Peter Cunningham. “Buying tickets is a great
way to help this cause and have a really fun
evening.”
Bent’s planners expect 800 people to de­
scend on the Left Bank Annex for the event.
A sleek, new industrial event space, the An­
nex is located at 101 N. Weidler St. Those
interested in making Bent their Halloween
haunt can purchase tickets at benthalloween.
org. Tickets for the dinner are $ 126.66, while
tickets for the party are $36.66.
