Calling All You Bastards, the Fatherless, the Forgotten. “Do you want to write your father?†My mother asked on the 33rd birthday. I didn’t have an immediate reply and she continued, “I have an address for him in Guyana.†My last memory: I’m three years old. He came for a visit and I remember the […]
NOW OPEN! SCARLET CITY ESPRESSO BAR 3960 Adeline St. in Emeryville. What Feminism Means to Jen: Being a Feminist has definitely changed meaning for me over the years. I started off being a liberal feminist, but I always had radical leanings. During the 90′s, when I was in my 20′s, the movie “I Shot Andy […]
A friend posted a short, yet brilliant, note to her child self today that made me think. We all could benefit from writing to our young selves. It seems the things that bother me most now, or have since childhood, might not have had as much power over me if I just had a chance […]
So, I have this ‘honey do’ list. Don’t you? Even when I don’t have a honey I have a honey do list—maybe I should rename it. Anyway, I was looking for someone to help me with the things I’m bad at or just plain hate to do. I consulted Craigslist and the Lesbian pages to […]
The New Art of Capturing Love by Kathryn Hamm and Thea Dodds is a great new book for lesbians and their gay and straight friends and families. A book that captures love from “until death do you part“ in gorgeous photography and beautiful writing. How refreshing to see conventions fall and be replaced by the new images that […]

A conversation between Kim Chernin and Renate Stendhal, authors of the forthcoming guide book Lesbian Marriage: A Sex Survival Kit KIM: It’s curious, isn’t it, that it took us almost three decades before we wanted to get married? RENATE: It is, although I always had a thing about weddings. As a child, and all through […]

Aside from being perpetually bare-chested at home when it’s sweltering out, my two most recent topfree moments this week were: changing shirts at the booth I was staffing at the SF Marathon Expo (with my back turned), and taking my shirt off on a trail while my friend fixed his flat. People’s reactions? Well, I […]
I have spent the last twelve years impersonating a 70’s country western star named Kitty Rose. Kitty had a loud personality, drawl, wearing cheesy western suits and large cowboy hats. “Kitty” sang (and very well, I might gloat) her own original country western tunes along with classics from Tammy Wynette to Loretta Lynn. Then a […]
Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride!
