9 Songs


The first time I saw Margo Stilley my best friend was making fun of her. I told her to stop and had a crush on Margo for the rest of the day. That was in the fourth grade. We never had a class together, all through middle school and high school. Her brother played soccer with my brother. We had a lot of the same friends. But I don't think we ever actually had a conversation. I don't even remember if she actually graduated with me or if she moved to another school.

Flash forward about six years. I'm reading the Village Voice and there are, like, three different pieces on this one movie, 9 Songs. It's an extremely sexually explicit indie film. Not porn. It was at Sundance. And I recognize the female lead. It's the same Margo Stilley that I went to grade school with. Getting fucked and tied up and masturbating on film.

And here I thought I was going to be the first person from Swansboro, NC, to become famous for being naked on camera. I'm so jealous!
