JLo Bites My Apple
JLo kissed me in my dreams. This surprised me because I don’t fantasize about Jennifer Lopez—ever. Eva Mendes—absolutely. Tinker Bell—I mean, who doesn’t. A stack of pancakes—always. But JLo—not so much. This dream was trippy because I was my current self in my childhood home at 2061 Cinderella Lane–go ahead make the joke—”Do you have […]
Oscar Highlights from the Queer Señorita
Patricia Arquette winning for Best Supporting Actress and her equality for women, speech and watching Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lopez who were sitting side by side responding enthusiastically to her. Common and John Legend’s powerful performance of their song Glory and then their potent acceptance speech “we live in the most incarcerated country in the […]
Queer Señorita: Flustered In-Flight
My last experience on a plane was reminiscent of the 80’s and what I mean by that is three words—People Express Airlines. Way back in the day when you could actually smoke a cigarette on a plane and add to the already toxic inflight recycled bad breath air—you could also travel from LA to New […]
Monica Palacios: Queer International Hip Chick
Epochalips’ Queer Señorita Monica Palacios talks about her beginnings as a Latina lesbian comic in the Mission District of San Francisco. Monica became famous for her one-liners: “Remember the TV show Lassie with June Lockhart? — I had her. Very sincere woman. She kept her apron on the whole time…Try my new queer Mexican food: […]
From Deep Throat to Homemade Sex Tapes
Remember when making a call on a public phone was fun and adventurous? When playing 45’s on your sister’s portable record player was crazy cool? Remember when porn films were just as patriotic as apple pie? My first attempt to see the all American titillating classic “Deep Throat”, was my senior year in high school […]
Will You Be My Date?
It’s that time of the year again. Making dolls out of old pantyhose? No-it’s Prom. Woo-hoo! I had no intention in going to my Junior Prom 1976. Although all my gal friends were excited about this high school tradition, I thought it was dumb and too girly. But my serious party friends Lolita, Laurie and […]
‘CLOCK’ Premiers March 7 in Phoenix!
Finally my play Clock, featuring seven strong Latina characters, will have its world premiere March 7-16, 2014 in Phoenix. Way back in 1996 I was selected as a playwriting fellow from the Latino Theater Initiative at the Mark Taper Forum of Los Angeles. It was a huge honor to be acknowledged by this prestigious LA […]
2013 Highlights – Including Twerking!
2013 is over and done with–good lord it was challenging but there were also some highlights. I shook the hand of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor–jealous? I attended an event where actress Eva Longoria interviewed Sotomayor about her new book My Beloved World. At the end of this amazing meeting of two powerful Latinas, Sonia […]
Lesbian Shape Shifter
I’m not going to lie to you—I just bought a pair of workout shorts that promoted “tummy controlâ€. Cuz if I can wear shorts that have a “power mesh insert†that will help me discover the figure I never knew I had—I’m buying them. I’m buying seven. And besides, if you can shove your power […]
Mistresses and Dynasty: Trashy TV Joy
I have a confession: I’m addicted to the new ABC show Mistresses. It makes my uvula tremble. But the plot lines are ridiculous. I sit there and say, “God this is so stupid–turn it up!” There has already been a lesbian sex shower scene–two women sudsing up a yak–that’s hot! Alyssa Milano leads this series […]
