Sexy New Photography Book by Meg Allen
“I brought you a sexy surprise for Bastille Day,†said Aids-activist and writer Anne-Christine d’Adesky, as she poured champagne for our audience at the Castro bookstore The Green Arcade. We were sharing the bill that night, presenting our new memoirs, her Pox Lover and my Kiss Me Again, Paris. “Here’s my pal, Meg Allen.†We […]
Lesbian Lit: Excerpt from ‘Kiss Me Again Paris’
Party at the Palais Royal It was finally late enough to get on my Vespa and drive over to the Palais Royal. Emma’s parents lived on the fifth floor in Rue de Beaujolais. Emma herself had her own “atelier†in the 14th arrondissement, although she had nothing to do with art. Opening the massive, polished […]
Lesbian Book Trailer: Kiss Me Again Paris
Just like everyone, I love movie trailers, those that entice and don’t give away the whole story at a glance. That book trailers can do something similar, is a fairly new idea, but more authors are playing with the new medium. We live in the audiovisual age! My Paris memoir has 130 vintage photographs, which […]

Lesbian Love: Me Talk Pretty Silly One Day
Forgive me for paraphrasing David Sedaris, but we have a point in common. Isn’t everybody tired of advice, lesbian relationship advice and more advice, and isn’t it time to laugh a bit? Advice from counselors is a funny thing: I sometimes think it’s silly to give advice: how to be happy, how to be rich, […]
Lesbian Compatibility: Can You Have It All?
Is She the Right One? See Compatibility 101 Part 1 HERE What is Lesbian Compatibility? See Compatibility 101 Part 2 HERE Monogamy, money, living space and pets: if you’re compatible, can you have it all? I decided to ask Kim (we were on a short trip to Kauai). How about us? Did she think Match.com […]
What is Lesbian Compatibility? Part 2
Is She the Right One? See Compatibility 101 Part 1 HERE So, thirty years ago, at the beginning of our relationship the incompatibility between Kim and me would have been detected very fast by Match.com, giving us warnings about each other. I gave a few examples in my last blog: Kim has a hot temperament […]
Is She the Right One? Lesbian Compatibility 101
Kim and I met at a Paris café, a long time ago. We met there because both of us had picked this particular café as our writing spot. As you probably know, there are zillions of cafés in Paris, one at every street corner. So picking this one, between St. Michel and St. Germain, this […]
Lesbian Valentine’s Day Do’s and Don’t’s
I was talking to my niece and nephew in Germany about holidays and gifts. The holiday “tyranny,†we like to call it. We have all stopped giving gifts to each other. “But the girls,†my nephew remarked, “they want gifts because it’s romantic.†Christmas is barely over and there’s the next gift-holiday approaching. Valentine’s has […]
How to Have a Happier Lesbian Holiday!
Well, how did the holidays work out for you and your lesbian lover/partner/spouse? How happy was the time spent with the in-laws or with your own family? If you’ve read my recent blog about holiday grudges you know what I mean. I discussed a few essentials, but we haven’t yet focused on the interesting question: […]
