Tonight I was invited to Sera Beak’s release party for her awesome new (and first!) book, The Red Book. She’s my friend Mark‘s partner, and it was terrific to see them both — and it was a packed, very successful launch event. What’s even better is that her book looks to be a really great one: I run, flop about and generally want to claw my eyes out when I see sex and spirituality combined (allergic to hippies), but this book is rockin’ it — with chapter titles like “Sacred Lipstick and Cosmic Lattes” and subheads like “Who’s Your Daddy (or Mommy)?” and full-on endorsements of vibrator use as a girl’s cosmic duty, Sera’s got a hit on her hands. Yay! I photoblogged the opening at Propeller in Hayes Valley after the jump.

This was right at the moment Sera saw me stalking her with my camera:

I had my camera on a weird setting, but I like how this pic of Mark and I came out:

Everything was red:
