Perpetual Change — Year End Musical Gift Ideas

| Dec 21, 2009 | Reply

Through the years, I’ve always tried to do something a bit different for the end-of-year December installment of Perpetual Change. It’s sort of gotten to the point, though, where it would be redundant to discuss Walkin’ Round In Women’s Underwear for the umpteenth time. However, in wanting to maintain a semblance of Christmas spirit, I […]

| Dec 14, 2009 | Reply

Christine Beatty’s first idea for her column this month was a lighthearted take on New Year’s resolutions. She had it all planned out but something else came up at the last minute.

Donna and Deb — A Couple in a Million

They walked in the room and looked around. More than a few sets of eyes looked back at them. My first impression was that they were sisters. Or they could have been two girlfriends who liked to dress in similar styles. Both were tall, slim and athletic-looking women. They were probably in their mid forties […]

PERPETUAL CHANGE — Blind Dog Wanders

Trans Active — “The Spirit and the Flesh”

| Nov 16, 2009 | Reply

Just in case you’re wondering about the title, this column is not about Walter L. Williams’ 1992 book on sexual diversity in American Indian culture, although I’m sure it’s a fascinating read. No, this month we’re talking about that one topic my mother said never should be discussed at the Thanksgiving dinner table (or under […]
