The Best Trans Magazine Ever: 5 Reasons Why <i>Original Plumbing</i> is Awesome

by Beefcake

If you type ‘trans man’ into Google Images, one of the first pictures you come across is the cover of the 3rd installment of Original Plumbing Magazine- The Health and Safer Sex Issue. The image is of a built but cuddly, soulful eyed guy standing topless next to a brick wall smiling gently at the camera. (You also get an image of Daniela Sea playing Max from The L Word, but more on that later). Last year,  my curiosity caused me to click through to the source of that image, and it opened up my world. … Continue Reading

Teenage Girl Crush #1 : Sally Phillips

by Fairy Cake

Part nostalgic wank, part obscure Garbage reference (10 points if you get it), this post is about one of the handful of sort-of celebrities who coaxed my homosexuality out of it’s stubborn little shell. Or rather, women that caused me to have a massive anxiety attack whenever they came on the telly, as a result of the ying/yang head-versus-vagina battle that was raging inside my confused 14-year old self.

Cake snaps at Stav B’s Liquor Bar Winter Ball, January 21st

by Lemon Tart

When I lived in Canada winter was incredible. All my wonderland fantasies came true: acres of constantly fluffy snow was the norm in a country that was fully prepared: nay relished the deluge.

Music Video Monday… MIA – Bad Girls/Madonna feat. MIA and Nicki Minaj – Give Me All Your Luvin’

by Devil’s Food Cake

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

Keep talking

REFLECTION TIME.  This is sort of a follow-up to the last article I wrote criticising the way Cynthia Nixon had expressed that her own sexuality was a choice in the NYTimes.  It’s sparked a kind of fascinating debate on here (to be fair, not so much a debate as lots of people saying “You are totally wrong” in a terrifyingly coherent way) and it got me thinking.
