Jay-Z supports gays… and no, we ain’t frontin’

There are many reasons to like superstar rap-mogul and doting daddy-of-one, Jay-Z.  99 even.  Here are just some. … Continue Reading

Friday Fancy: Tomboy

by Florentine

There ain’t no Friday like a gender-bending Friday.  Or something.  And, when that GBF is brought to you by thought-provoking director Céline Sciamma and a little girl so cute I want to spread her on my Jacobs and do the cream-cracker challenge… it  doesn’t get much better, than this one. … Continue Reading

Sing You Home: the lezzy book you can read with your mum (sort of)

By Florentine

Sadly the halcyon, Jane Austen days of hanging out with your mum doing cross-stitch and knocking one out on the piano are gone.  Now, in cheery post-twentieth century Britain, I’m more likely to see Boris Johnson get a short back and sides than I am to spend quality, mutual-hobby time with my own mother… which is probably a good thing. … Continue Reading

Lindsay no longer a-Lohan..?

by Florentine

Nothing about today has been that great.  Getting less than 5 hours sleep on a school night?  Not great.  Remembering that D-Cam is Prime Minister all over again?  Less than ideal.  Casually perusing the interweb, only to discover that a walking (just about) talking narcotics vessel is better at getting a girlfriend than you?  Pretty rubbish. … Continue Reading

There are some things we at Cake HQ are real fond of, like gay stuff for instance.  And birthdays; where our love of frosted sponge collides head-on with general merriment and/or shiny gift wrap.  So then, imagine our joy when we got invited along to the mother of all gay birthdays during this years’ LLGFF … Continue Reading

Eating chicken turns you gay (and other really dumb stuff)

by Florentine

Nestled somewhere in between the wall-to-wall media circus of stranded air passengers and David Cameron’s face this week, you may have found yourself down-wind not of a volcanic ash cloud but, rather, of a bizarre claim made by the president (no less) of Bolivia; a man with more hair on his head than a toupee-wearing gorilla. … Continue Reading

Tuesday Top Ten… Bitchfights

by Florentine

There are a few things we at TMC won’t condone.  But, putting Jodie Marsh’s tabloid-hungry foray into lesbianism aside for a moment, today I’m talking about violence.  Now the old addage (and basic law of human decency) goes that violence is never the answer and sure, for the most part that’s pretty accurate.  But what about that one little genre of fisticuffs that, correctly or not, just seems so very very right?  That simmering, pseudo-sensual beast affectionately (or not) known as the bitch fight. … Continue Reading

TMC reviews… Highly Strung (aka Je te mangerais)

by Florentine

Here’s a question.  What do you get if you cross a curious young girl, a concert piano and an ever-so-slightly psychopathic flatmate?  One big fat lesbian mess, that’s what.  Highly Strung is the debut feature of extremely promising French writer-director Sophie Laloy, which tells the story of 20 year old Marie (Judith Davis – RÉFRACTAIRE) and her move to … Continue Reading

The Most Cake// Art Party: Saturday 6th March

Dear readers, cake-lovers and p(art)y crashers,

After the stunning success of The Most Cake Launch Party last November thanks to you lovely lot, we thought we’d jump right back in the saddle of the funtime horse and sweat profusely over another offering.  But, not content with a mere (and only slightly figurative) piss up in a brewery, we’d like to request permission to engage your brains and other senses – mainly the ones that like sparkly things – too. … Continue Reading

Wedding bells for ‘Glee’ star Jane Lynch

by Florentine

There are many viable and legitimate reasons to love Jane Lynch.  For me, most of them now revolve around eight or so perfectly delivered lines of scathing dialogue every Monday night from nine on E4.  For others, perhaps a willingness to speak candidly about her personal life despite Hollywood pressure to keep schtum (and straight) does the trick.  And for some latecomers to Lynch-ville, maybe it’s just because she verbally kicked Obama’s gay-marriage-ban-allowing ass a few weeks ago … Continue Reading

‘First peek’ teaser for Lip Service

Yes yes, we all know it’s coming.  And thanks to various leaks official and otherwise across the world wide web, we also know who’s in it, loosely what it’s about and what writer Harriet Braun had for tea last night.  That last bit’s a lie. … Continue Reading

Friday Fancy… Ellie Goulding

by Florentine

She’s the winner of this year’s Brit Awards Critics’ Choice prize for the act most likely to break through in 2010, she’s toured the UK supporting Little Boots as well as featuring on the prolific ‘Later… With Jools Holland’ show and… she just so happens to have the best bush I’ve seen in yonks (probably since the last time I used the word ‘yonks’ in fact, which was a considerable number of years ago).  Her name is Ellie Goulding, and if you haven’t heard of her by now, then you can bet your first-born child (adoptive or otherwise) that by the time twenty-ten is through, she’ll be all over your respective sound systems like a melted shell-suit. … Continue Reading

Girls on film: ITV kick-starts a gay 2010

by Florentine

Those of you who spent Thursday night knee-deep in bar queues wearing questionable fancy dress and too inebriated to see who you were swapping saliva with at the stroke of midnight, may have missed ITV’s latest toe-dip into the land of lesbianism.  For this New Year’s Eve saw Joanna Briscoe’s erotic thriller Sleep with Me adapted for the channel by formidable screenwriting talent Andrew Davies, in nothing less than their prime time slot.  Yups.  Described as an “erotic thriller” in which “Adrian Lester (Hustle) and Jodhi May (Tipping the Velvet) … Continue Reading
