It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The article highlights some female-written pulp that has been reissued recently with more to come, apparently.

This is been burbling among the queer study cognoscenti for a while and now has gotten a broader feminist slant.

I know a number of older dykes who still get a happy smile when you mention Beebo Brinker.

The editor of this was on NPR a few weeks ago and they also had several actresses read a few choice passages. Pretty steamy stuff.

Really? Latest steamy stuff I heard was metaphor stuff read by Susan Stanberg on Festival of Lights stuff.

Yeah, on All Things Considered they read an actual (but lacking in detail) lesbian love scene from one of the novels written about 60 or 70 years ago.

move out and draw fire

I got a catalog in the mail today that is leading me forth into temptation. It's called Bas Bleu, and in my habit of dog-earing the pages that have books I want, I find I've dog-eared every page. But! It's got Weird and Wonderful Words!

And other nifty stuff, like the Pride and Prejudice board game. Guess it's never too early to start my Christmas wishlist.

Always Anti-fascist!

All of you who wanna write movies or Tv must read "The First Time I Got Paid For It." Good stuff, with comments from almost everyone who's anyone, except our own JW, regrettably. Funny, smart, honest, but still inspiring.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh, I had to move and leave no forwarding address so I'd stop getting Bas Bleu. It was more than mortal flesh--or credit card--could bear.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

This catalog is seriously dangerous. Luckily, I inexplicably stopped receiving it.

t gasp Now I may have to see if I can get a copy of that catalog again.

If you win do you get Colin Firth?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

You'll get Colin Firth when you pry him from my - well. Ahem. Anyway.

MINE!
