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

There’s no good time to run into an ex, really – if she’s someone you don’t want to see, then you’re never going to be prepared for that unexpected drop in your stomach at the mere sight of her. But as if an impromptu encounter with an ex under normal circumstances just isn’t traumatic enough… … Continue Reading

*Preliminary gush warning* This article is going to be unabashedly fawning over The Scoobies with no shame and lots of frothing. If you are adverse to vampires, gothic horror or bad-taste leather ensembles, look away now.

Goodbye February – ‘the month of Love’, as my close chum so charmingly labelled it a week before Valentine’s Day. I’m very happy to welcome in March, what with the warmer weather it promises, but in honour of the departing month I thought I’d treat you all to my top 10 worst ways of expressing your love for someone else. For those of you who may have attempted any of these feats – shame on you. Hang your heads, look away and know without doubt that we all judge you! … Continue Reading

There’s an art to a one-night stand, a kind of magic to picking up a stranger in a bar (or wherever) and going home with them for a night of… ahem. They’re not necessarily the nicest of situations, and all too often we’re told that casual sex is a bad thing, the practice of harlots and women with loose morals. But let’s face it: if sex is a good thing (and it is) then there’s nothing wrong with a healthy dose with a one-time partner. If you’re going to do it though, do it right – here’s how. … Continue Reading

Oh Britney. What a life you’ve had already. You burst onto our screens and radios at the mere age of 16, and though many tried to resist you for a time, your pull was too strong, too forceful. Who here can claim to have never privately, or even publicly, screamed a little inside at your every comeback? Who hasn’t repeated your ‘it’s Britney, bitch’ like a personal catchphrase? Who doesn’t love I’m a Slave 4 U? Whether we love her out loud or pretend not to, Britney’s a legend, an icon for our times. … Continue Reading
Dating – it’s a weird world out there. The newly or currently single amongst us know this, and those who are spoken for should be glad they don’t know this. But if you’re lost or unsure, or simply have no clue what you’re doing, fear not. There is one source of advice that betters all others – this is, of course, the television. I mean, if the lezzers on TV can pull it off, why can’t you? … Continue Reading

TMC like to think we know our readers quite well.
For example, we know that most of you (apart from those occasional mac-wearing gentlemen who click through to our site hoping to find videos of lesbians wrestling in deserts) are ladies who like ladies. … Continue Reading
The recent spat between A. A. Gill and Clare Balding got me pondering the too-often-ignored social lubricant that is lesbian etiquette. Not the ‘take off your nail-varnish pre-fisting’ variety, but the sort of thing that gets straight people invited to gay parties; the stripes you gotta earn to be a male guest at the Candy Bar or a gay girl’s BFF. … Continue Reading

We’ve all been there. It’s 5am and you’re crouched in a bush in your ex-girlfriend’s garden, binoculars fixed unwavering on her bedroom window. After having spent the last three hours noting down patterns and shifts in the curtains (3.46am: slight crease in left-hand netting. Maybe she’s sleeping with that slut from work), your energy is flagging. “Damn”, you think. “It’s at times like these I really could use a little background music”. … Continue Reading
Say what you want about Lady Gaga – and many, many people have – but there’s something intoxicating about her. I remember the first time I heard of her, when she performed Just Dance at the NewNowNext Awards, way back when in 2008. I was hooked – I played and replayed that performance as loud as my speakers would allow, and I’m pretty sure I drove all my flatmates crazy. Oh Lady Gaga. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. … Continue Reading
So Eurovision is over for the year – it’s time to pack away our score sheets, our voting fingers and our EU cupcakes. But though this year’s contestants are gone, they are certainly not forgotten, though admittedly some of them would be better left as such. As I look back on the wreckage of last evening, I feel like now’s a good time to recount the more memorable moments of Eurovisions past. And so, in lieu of this past week’s Tuesday top Ten, we have a Sunday countdown of some of the Cakette’s favourite Eurovision entries. … Continue Reading

T-shirts have always been the perfect way to make a stylish yet simple statement: from Katharine Hamnett’s ‘Education not Missiles’ to House of Holland’s ‘I’ll Show You Who’s Boss Kate Moss’. However, if you want to be exposed to some tops which should have well and truly stayed in the closet look no further… … Continue Reading
