Anna Van Riel

Anna was a great Sex Party volunteer and an inspiring spruiker for us at Brisbane Sexpo. She also turned out to be an accomplished musician, singer, photographer and all around spunk!

She’s just released her first CD of 11 songs entitled, Solar Panel - many of them self-penned. And hasn’t the girl got some talent! Sounding something like a cross between Maria Muldour and Missy Higgins she moves through folk, Caribbean, soul and rock with ease.

We asked Anna if she would perform for us at Sydney Sexpo in September. “If I'm not touring in NZ, skiing in Japan or squatting over a bucket in India, I'll be there”, she said.

When we asked her for her views on love and life she responded with a little ditty:

Sex Sells; You know it's true
So I decided to brew up a big sex stew

I threw in my panties and also a bra
To anyone else, this might seem quite bizarre

The stars on the ocean, a warm moonlight night
And I cleverly whipped in some rich Barry White

A Spanish guitar made of shiny red wood
This brew was beginning to taste pretty good

Marilyn Monroe in a lusty sex scene
Which made proper sense to throw in James Dean

A lace neglige and a four-poster bed
It's cliche but I put a red rose at the head

I threw everything in and I stirred it all night
I knew it was ready, the odor was ripe

So I sniffed it and sipped it, and what did it do?
It just burnt my tongue, that pot of sex stew

Check out her talents with a ukelele in this cute home recording but for the big sound and a great band behind her, email her and purchase a copy of the studio recorded CD. Its brilliant.
