I’ve written before about Nneka, and I guess the appreciation has never worn down. The first time I heard anything by her was at this tiny gig she played in Brighton. I’d had the shittiest week, so I took the train down to see a friend who dragged me along despite my misgivings. “Come”, she said, “you’ll like her”. She was right. … Continue Reading
Okay. So not only was this article offensive in the extreme (to straight women, gay women and people with eyes) but I must be the only person in this club that didn’t get the memo, because I have no idea what the big deal about straight girls is. Can someone please explain? … Continue Reading
Usually it’s me waxing lyrical about whatever, while you guys play audience to my ramblings. But this time, you guys, I’m a little out of my depth. Deep breath now – I’m 25 years old and I’ve never been to a gay bar by myself. … Continue Reading
YOU GUYS, how about them bus ads? In case you hadn’t heard, there are some serious right-wing nutjobs trying to upstage their American counterparts by claiming that they can cure homosexuality with some good, old-fashioned intensive therapy (and buying adspace for this madness on London buses). Forget about all the things we’ve heard before about why this doesn’t work – and why it is, in fact, incredibly harmful – homosexuals are evil, dammit, and there must be a way to cure them! … Continue Reading

My God, and I stand by that. There have definitely been times when the “Queen of Pop” (does anyone else wonder what the hell that means? What qualifies you for that title?) has not been relevant to my life – for example, any time I’m not procrastinating or drunk – but that doesn’t mean I don’t like her. I do. … Continue Reading

MIA is my hero. Say what you will about her politics – many people have, and that really is an interesting conversation – but musically, she’s magic. Bad Girls, which you might have heard in less complete form as part of the Vicki Leekx mixtape, is so uber-awesome I’ve had it on repeat all weekend and most of today. … Continue Reading

It’s been a really long week, and THAT has come after a really long month. So at the moment, I’m just finding my happy in the little things: Ikea deliveries, a good day at the office and, oh, Alexis Krauss making my heart beat faster in the new Sleigh Bells video. … Continue Reading
Alison Bechdel fans and lesbian book club attendees everywhere have some good things coming: the follow-up to Bechdel’s critically-acclaimed Fun Home will be released in May this year – and it’s gotten a pretty huge first print run for a graphic novel.
EVERYONE does gift guides around this time of year – apparently it’s gift-giving season or something? – but what nobody does is actually cater to what we really really want. Because, obviously, as lesbians, all we want is vaginas. Lots of vaginas. In every form possible. OBVIOUSLY. Here’s a list of vag-themed gifts you should definitely buy for everyone you know. … Continue Reading
I am obsessed with these songs, and with this woman’s hair. I can’t help it. Bonus: you get two videos today because I’m indecisive and couldn’t decide between the two. … Continue Reading
Unless you’re a cycle courier, biking enthusiast or gay lover of cakes, you probably won’t have heard of Emily Chappell. FYI, she’s amazing, and this past September, she set off on a four-year-long mission to travel around the world – by bike. Crazy? Maybe, but also incredibly impressive. She took a short break from biking and eating baklava in Istanbul to answer a couple of questions. … Continue Reading
