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: […]
Dear Battleaxe, I’m dating someone who I haven’t had sex with yet. But I think we are about to—any day now. The problem is, she wants me to shave my pussy because she is hair-phobic. Should I do it? Or maybe just trim the front? Dear ‘Business in front— party in back’, Sounds like a […]
Dear Battle-axe, As I age, I can’t seem to find a comfortable bra. Nothing seems to fit right. What do you recommend? Dear ‘Nothing Seems to Fit Right’, I have a feeling you are talking about “back fat”. Back fat can sometimes become as big as your boobs! Have you tried wearing two bras, front […]
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 […]
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 […]

Once when I had been brought up short by lurid graffiti freshly scratched on a new bathhouse on Cape Hatteras, an old, sand-blasted woman came up behind me, looked for a minute, shook her head and sighed, “How kin people be so mean?†As Congress cut food stamps and debated extending unemployment insurance, I found […]
Dear Battle-axe, How can you tell if someone has been on a Booty Call? Dear Curious About a Booty Call, I just saw this Sunday morning, and I am going to say this is true. When you see someone with a coat, no clothes underneath and a hula hoop. Dear Battle-axe, How far should I […]
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 […]
Am just back from a road trip. During the long drive I listened to way too much talk radio. Diane Rehm still trying to get a caller with a horrible signing-up for healthcare story. No one called. BBC covering the Ukraine uprising over joining the European Union or having Putin cut off their gas supplies […]
Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride!
