Firefighter in a Bikini

| Apr 12, 2007 | Reply

You’ve probably already seen the link in Allison’s blog, and read the newspaper story about the Cincinnati-area firefighter caught in a bikini in a city park. Or, maybe you saw it on the national news. And you’ve probably seen the other booking photos, graciously provided by a Cincinnati-area radio station. Yeah, this isn’t some random […]

Whenever this topic is brought up, there’s a host of t-girls who trot out the same arguments. Well, today, we tear up those arguments.

Dina’s Digital Diner — YOU’RE HIRED!

| Apr 2, 2007 | Reply

Perhaps the only other people capable of as much shameless self-promotion as Donald Trump are presidential candidates. In order to be the leader of the free world, a candidate must constantly remind the great unwashed of how smart, forward-thinking, and generally awesome they are. Sometime before he became a presidential candidate, Rudolph Giuliani did a […]

We often make mention of the GLBT community, but honestly, the “T”? I think it really ought to be dropped.

We stayed up late the other night to watch the new show, The Riches on FX.  It’s a good program, but I probably wouldn’t have gone out of my way to watch had it not been for Eddie Izzard.

Op-Ed By Angela Gardner Ann Coulter, the White Witch of Narnia, Wicked Bitch of The West, and Republican pin up girl indirectly called presidential candidate John Edwards a faggot. It was done —indirectly—at the end of a speech she made to the American Conservative Union Political Action Conference last Friday (03/02/07). Coulter said she had […]

Time For A New Hobby?

| Feb 27, 2007 | Reply

I’ve been crossdressing for a long time and you have too, in all likelihood. Maybe it’s time to find a new avenue for release—at least while we are in the comforts of home, apartment, or— judging by a lot of the photos I see—in a cheap motel room. I heard a commentator say before the […]

Eye(shadow) on Hollywood!

No outing. I promise. Well, no intentional outing anyway. Maybe accidental. (And to tell you the truth, I can’t even remember who it was I was going to out in the first place anyway.) But I do know that I don’t know why Jeffrey Carlson is not a household name in the TG community. You’re […]

Men in Foam, Lot’s of Foam: Thoughts on Black Comics in Drag

| Feb 10, 2007 | Reply

What’s the deal with black, comic actors dressing up like fat ladies? In the past decade there have been several films that feature their male stars padding up (way up!) and slipping into drag. Yes, Flip Wilson started it all back in the day with his female character but she was slim and sexy. Great […]

Legacies Aren’t What They Used To Be

Today, Saturday, 2/10/2007 is two days after the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Already there is speculation – unconfirmed by the initial autopsy – about the cause of her death at age 39. Also unconfirmed – after five months – is the paternity of her young daughter. Today, none other than Zsa Zsa Gabor’s current […]

Some girls have it…

| Jul 6, 2006 | Reply

Some girls don’t.  I was chatting with a friend of mine this morning, and she was trying to talk me into going out tonight.  I’d love to, but it’s not in the budget. It’s an expensive hobby for me, considering at the very least, I like to wear false nails and they don’t come cheap. […]
