Join us for a book reading and signing of 'Tits Up': 'What Sex Workers', 'Milk Bankers', 'Plastic Surgeons', 'Bra Designers', and 'Witches Tell Us about Breasts' with author Sarah Thornton. After years of biopsies, best-selling author Sarah Thornton made the difficult decision to have a double mastectomy. But, after her reconstructive surgery, she was perplexed: What had she lost? And gained? An experienced sleuth, she resolved to venture behind the scenes to uncover the social and cultural significance of breasts. About 'Tits Up' Riotous and galvanizing, Tits Up excavates the diverse truths of mammary glands from the strip club to the operating room, from the nation’s oldest human milk bank to the fit rooms of bra designers. Thornton draws insights from plastic surgeons, lactation consultants, body-positive witches, lingerie models, and “free the nipple” activists to explore the status of breasts as emblems of femininity. She examines how women’s chests have become a billion-dollar business, as well as a stage for debates about race, class, gender, and desire. Everywhere she turns, Thornton encounters chauvinist myths about this elemental body part that quietly justify deficits in women’s bodily autonomy and endorse shortfalls in their political status. Blending sociology, reportage, and personal narrative with refreshing optimism and wit, Thornton has one overriding ambition―to liberate breasts from centuries of patriarchal prejudice. About Sarah Thornton Sarah Thornton is a sociologist who writes about art, design, and people.

The Nativity Choir, an ensemble of San Diego’s finest vocalists will be joined by San Diego Baroque, a collaborative ensemble made up of some of the area's finest early music specialists with Dr. Alison Luedecke, Music Director. Admission is free. There will be a freewill offering with all proceeds going to support the Nativity Music Program. Our Christmas Concert illuminates Mary’s journey from the Annunciation through Jesus' birth. When drawing inspiration for this concert, Dr. Luedecke recalls “I look at the statue of Mary every time I play the organ at Nativity. One day I wondered- wouldn’t it be great to have Christmas program from Mary’s perspective?” It is intended to be a beautiful and reverent sacred music journey. A featured choral piece is a double choir setting of the Magnificat by Charles Theodore Pachelbel. The son of the renowned Johann Pachelbel, he changed his name from Carl Theodorus after moving to America. The premiere of this amazing piece took place in New York City during the time of Bach. Other choral music includes excerpts from Händel's Messiah, Ave Maria settings by Josquin Desprez and Franz Biebl, O magnum mysterium by Morton Lauridsen, Angelus ad Virginem, and John Rutter’s "Nativity Carol”. There will also be excerpts from Arcangelo Corelli: “Christmas” Concerto in g minor ‘Fatto per la Notte di Natale’ Op. 6, no. 8. Visit: https://nativitycatholic.weconnect.com/
