I’m a Monkey’s Uncle
The Rise of the Planet of the Apes movie is Curious George on steroids and a shot of Jack Daniels. Since I was a little dykeling, I always wanted a chimpanzee as a pet so he could do my Saturday chores and then we could hang out in our tree house looking at Playboy. Carrying […]
Vivacious Vegetarianista
I became a vegetarian for a dame. I know—the things we do for love. But when I met this lovely lady 22 years ago, my meat consumption was minimal. I was a waitress at a steakhouse and serving grilled flesh all the time made me shiver and my nipples spin. And then one day, the […]
No, No to Mr. Gyno
I was in the pens, pencils and popcorn aisle at Staples, trying to figure out if I should commit to the extra fine point or the fine point. I was doodling on the practice note pad and I was feeling political so I wrote: Stop the war—show me your panties. I was writing other profound […]
Lesbian Orgasms: A Dog’s Best Friend
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! ‘Lesbian Orgasms’ first appeared in Epochalips in July of 2010. I want to open a business called, Pap and Pup: pap smears for lesbians and their dogs, because that’s how inseparable we are. There are no boundaries with lesbians and their precious furry friends. And that’s why during our love-making sessions, […]
Black Swan Makes Me Hungry
The psychological thriller Black Swan is all the buzz with the “lesbian sex scene” between its stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. Well yeah, everybody wants to see pretty young women getting it on with each other—even Republicans. I must hand it to Ms. Portman for delivering a solid performance as a bony young woman […]
Feliz Navidad Feminista Style
Christmas reminds me of my Tia Nonita. She was a hardcore Catholic: she had an 8 foot shrine of la Virgen de Guadalupe—in her make up bag. That’s fierce. So to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus, every year was a huge highlight for this 80-something year old woman—next to, bingo on Friday nights. I […]
Coming Out Story – Leaving Chico
The following is a performance piece in progress. Fall 1978, I’m 19 years old, a sophomore at Chico State University in Northern California. I’m an Art Major and I’m also enrolled in a Fiction Writing Course. I write in the first person as a man and talk about chicks I like to have sex with—foreshadowing. […]
Handsome Lady With a Hat
Back in Spring of this year, I purchased a man’s black hat, something your grandfather would wear: a cotton/polyester blend with the narrow brim upturned in the back. Actually come to think of it, my sombrero resembles the hat Pinocchio wears in the Disney movie—minus the little feather. Yeah those Oktoberfest hats—you know the ones. […]
The Kids Are All Wrong
“The importance of family,” seems to resonate with critics about the film The Kids Are All Right, a story about a lesbian couple with two children who seek out their sperm donor. The importance of family? Really? Is that why Jules, (Julianne Moore) one of the lesbian moms, starts having crazy sex with the family’s […]
My Right To Say I Do
I’m gettin’ married in the mornin’ • Ding dong the bells are gonna chime • Lesbians can get married • Tom can marry Jerry • Please, get me to the church on time! I sing this song in my performance piece Amor y Revolución (Love and Revolution) with my powerful pant suited lesbian bride on […]
