Music Video Monday: kool thing – Light Games

by Lemon Tart It’s horrible Monday. It’s cold. You’ve probably had the same conversation about how cold and horrible this particular Monday is with at least all of your colleagues by now. So to get you feeling better, in a sort of whimsical sexy (actually slightly melancholic) way, here’s a new video offering from kool [...]

Rihanna has a sweet, long-term live-in girlfriend: they have a poodle

by Petit Fours We confess, we like to hear rumours about Rihanna having lesbian affairs, so we weren’t exactly trying to disprove it when our friend who works on a magazine told she’s doing more than admin with her female personal assistant, Melissa Forde.

Music Video Monday : Speech Debelle

by Fairy Cake While we were watching Rihanna faux-frigging herself in her latest promo, Speech Debelle quietly crept in and stole ALL THE TALENT.

Music Video Monday… Iggy Azalea – Pu$$y/My World

by Devil’s Food Cake 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.

TMC Interviews… That Emily Chappell, on cycling around the world and being amazing

by Devil’s Food Cake

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

Reclaim the Night and trans-women.

by Fairy Cake

RTN, the legendary yearly march against violence against women is happening tonight.  You should probably be there.  However, in the last few years a few close queer friends of mine have been put off attending Reclaim the Night because there was a bit of a transphobic air about the whole thing.

Is Gay for Pay OK?

by Hot Cross Bun

Cast a cynical squint over the Oscar winners of the past decade and you can’t help but see a pattern emerge. It appears the small print on every gold statue reads ‘Suffer For Your Art’. Sure, extreme physical transformation will get the academy to notice you but if you’re prepared to go gay (as well as looking unrecognisable from your last blockbuster) it really does pay. … Continue Reading

TMC Podcast Three : No bitches, no guns.

by Fairy Cake

Most mainstream rap is a little too misogynistic/materialistic/racist/violent for our liking.  Here is some beautiful, danceable, mostly-alternative hip hop you can bump, distinctly lacking in bling and bitches.

Music Video Monday… Sonic Youth – Bull in the Heather

by Devil’s Food Cake

Have I expressed my deep and undying love for Kathleen Hanna before? If I haven’t, well, consider this a declaration. Because she is amazing and awesome and downright adorable. All of which came rushing back to me when this song popped up on my iPod the other day. … Continue Reading

Hate crime in the UK: what’s being done?

by Mint Cake

Queer bashing – it’s not necessarily something you’d expect from one of the most rainbow friendly nations on the continent. But worryingly, anti-gay crime is currently splattered across British headlines all too frequently. Even just the last few months have seen a number of stories of homophobic violence emerge in mainstream media. … Continue Reading

Travel Logs: Excellent bookshops in Singapore

by Devil’s Food Cake

There’s a lot to do in Singapore – the city is probably the most built-up in South-East Asia, and visitors are pretty much spoilt for choice with the list of things to do. But if you’re looking for a quiet afternoon/day/couple of hours, you can’t go wrong with coffee and a trip to a great bookshop. And Singapore – hurrah! – has at least two that are so very worth a visit. … Continue Reading

Music Video Monday… Moloko – Familiar Feeling

by Devil’s Food Cake

In between work stuff, book stuff and figuring out whether or not I’d like to risk getting arrested going to a Malaysian Pride event (answer: I do not), I’ve really been missing the gay in my life. Fortunately, a girl can always turn to her friends or TV for a bit of a mood lift, and for everything else, there’s Youtube. … Continue Reading
