Spring! I love spring. The sunshine, the grass, the only slightly freezing water at Hampstead Heath’s lady pond… there are a lot of reasons to love warm weather, but my favourite by far has to do with cleavage. Yours, yes – I can’t say that I don’t love the sight of a lady taking her puppies out for a walk. But mainly – and more selfishly – my own. … Continue Reading

Packed full of landscape snapshots of hats, jackets and shoes, the site’s founder Tommy Ton has perfected the art of people – and obsessive fashion – watching. … Continue Reading

I really like this song, but that’s not strictly the reason why I’ve chosen this video for today. There are only two members of The Big Pink; Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell. However, it’s not them I’m interested in. My attention centres around the drummer they employ who goes by the name of Akiko “exceedingly good Keex” Matsuura, a little Japanese punk rock girl. I wanted to introduce you to her, if you didn’t know about her before, because she is just COOL! … Continue Reading
Power dykes, break-up chat, gay politics, thrilling tunes, inebriation liberation and sexual encounters with Lady Gaga – you’d be forgiven if you thought I was at some random, amazing party, but you’d not be far off. In reality, I was getting my hair did at the fabulous Shambo Chateau, where the music is marvellous, the company quite spectacular and 2 pm is never too early for a drink. … Continue Reading
Oh leather. Normally, the idea of wearing an animal’s skin makes me cringe and die a little. But there’s just something about good leather. Black, brown, tan, white – whatever. There’s just something about the stuff that makes me swoon a little inside. And no wonder. Is there really anything sexier than a girl in a good leather jacket?
So by now, everyone must have heard about Nick Griffin on Question Time. For those of you who have not heard about this debacle, I could try to explain, but my brain and fingers find him rather revolting, and also are sick of writing/thinking about him. Hence, I tried to write a short explanation, but it all came out rather like this: … Continue Reading

Just a quick one… Was doing research today and came across the following amazing shoots in i-D (Fall 2009) and Arena Homme + (Winter/Spring 09/10). They’re kinda awesome and kinda speak for themselves… Here are the best bits…
So many stereotypes, so little time. But myths must be dispelled, or the rules at least proven, so week by week we’ll be going through a list of Things Lesbians Like. Business in the front, party in the back – let’s start with mullets.

It’s autumn apparently, or at least I decided it probably was when the sun waved goodbye for good at noon today. There’s only one thing for it: a beer hat (see illustration below). On tube journeys in the morning I can now equip myself with an unending flow of hot chocolate. I don’t care what fellow passengers think. … Continue Reading

‘WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL’, ‘WOMEN ARE SEXY’, ‘WOMEN ARE CLEVER AND INTELLIGENT’… These are some of the mantras which mark the birth of the very new, female only, creative fashion magazine. For women, written by women, this is ‘I Love You’ magazine. Like no other. Read the inspiring interview with editor in chief Christiane Bördner, and her views on female creativity in a male dominated magazine world. … Continue Reading

So I decided to investigate what had happened to Brody Dalle, of ‘The Distillers’ fame and one of the idols of my misspent youth. It could have been that distinctive, gravelly tone of her voice, girl-on-guitar and the punk rock-chick attitude but I think it was the lip ring that sold me. I guess I had a soft spot for the dark eyed, brooding, arrogant-on-the-outside kind of girl. Maybe I still do. … Continue Reading

I guess it’s pretty common knowledge that this week they released the names of the Baby P criminals. But then yesterday I see this article (from the Sun and arguably I should know what to expect) with the headline ‘Baby P mum is a lesbian’. My first thought was, ‘so what’? Reading on, I realised that these writers really had no point to their ‘exclusive’ fact that was the headline of their story. … Continue Reading

How great is that!? They’ve been around since 2000 and they’ve been giving us the low down on the cream of the crop of gay women in showbiz. … Continue Reading
