Boundless Love
Grandfather at the Fair An Unlikely Bridge Between the Old World and the New Mother is swaddled in furs, napping. She leans to one side, snoring lightly, and her diamond earrings sparkle like headlights. Mellowed with wine, I prop up my feet, light up a cigarette and daydream about the voluptuous charms of my latest […]
Thumbs down on “Tolerance”
I do a lot of advocating on the bullying issue. As a survivor of both bullying and several bad suicidal attempts, I am well versed on the topic. Lately we hear so much about teaching tolerance to our children. I hate that word tolerance. To me it implies that kids should just accept that someone […]
Franny Doolittle, Hawk Whisperer
So this juvenile red tailed hawk flew into my friend’s house, straight through the garden door and into the living room. The hawk was perching up in the rafters and swooped down repeatedly crashing into the picture window, stunning herself and then trying again. Ouch! Poor baby. I was alone at the time, just me […]
When Rachel Sang the Blues
The first time I saw Rachel she was singing the blues, she was outgrowling Eartha Kitt, she was crooning full mouthed blue dirt and funk, a caterwaul strain like a siren. The first time I saw Rachel she sang a case hardened lullaby, she was threading the silvery eye of a needle. She was shooting […]
Candace Walsh and ‘Licking the Spoon’
Want to play show and tell? I do. But I’m going to tell first and show second. My new book, Licking the Spoon: A Memoir of Food, Family, and Identity, is being released by Seal Press this week. The story follows me from my wacky childhood to the current day, with the major beats in […]
Got Boos?!
Halloween has been and always will be my favorite holiday. Am I alone in this? Sure hope not. As a lesbian I note how many people love to somehow turn Halloween into some weird thing about how and why LGBT individuals enjoy it so. How about it’s just fun as hell?! Wait, could it be…why […]
My Left Breast – I think I’ll Keep It
October is breast cancer awareness month. I do not need a month to make me aware of breast cancer. I do not need a Susan Komen walk or an Avon walk to remind me of breast cancer. I do not need a pink ribbon either. I need only look at my left breast- the scar […]
ART TO GO!
One of the best things about being a painter is being able to invite friends in the Bay Area to join me in my studio every year for Open Studios. I have the amazing good luck to be an artist in the most beautiful city in the world that is home to thousands of us […]
Lisa Cordileone and ‘Easy Abby’ the Web Series
After considering moving to New York and maybe a fleeting thought to LA after college, I moved instead to Chicago and had every intention of working in the theatre scene. I spent my first 3 years here auditioning for every theatre or show I wanted to be a part of and training with Second City. […]
LIPS – Chicks with Licks
Hello Epochalips fans! Lovely to meet you! My name is Flo Vinger and I’m a filmmaker/performer and created a new series called LIPS. I wanted to do a gay women’s show that is fun, sexy and hilarious. I added the singing and dance numbers because it adds a lot of comedy and fun to the […]
