‘Never Give Up!’ – Diana Nyad

‘Never Give Up!’ – Diana Nyad

Diana Nyad, 64, is an inspirational example of human endurance. As an older woman, out lesbian and amazing athlete, she blows my mind! Diana Nyad just made the swim from Cuba to Florida WITHOUT STOPPING!!! As she arrived on the beach yesterday afternoon, Diana was greeted by hundreds of cheering supporters, many of whom waved […]

Working with Jen Foster on ‘SHE’

Working with Jen Foster on ‘SHE’

One of my favorite sequences in Elena Undone is when Elena realizes she’s going to leave her husband.  No words.  Just the brilliant words and music from Jen Foster‘s Broken.  I LOVE that song. It fit so incredibly well in the film that I knew I was going to work with Jen sometime in the […]

Smile, Romp and Stay Curious

Smile, Romp and Stay Curious

I met Val Yandell and Jane Brooks in my hometown of Fairfax, CA. at their corner of The Garage – a Marin County pop-up space that houses a local indie design market. It’s a groovy new artists’ collective where I’ve found a treasure trove of vintage and imaginative handmade items. And since I don’t often […]

Close Encounter of the Whale Kind

Close Encounter of the Whale Kind

It started with an excited cry from Biology Teacher, Jane Orbuch “Kim, there’s a whale”. I had just led 14 San Lorenzo Valley High School students by kayak to the kelp beds edging a surf break known as Indicators in Santa Cruz. We were just about to begin a lesson in Kelp Forest Ecology. Slipping […]

Care To Speculate?

Care To Speculate?

Apparently the clitoris was a scientific mystery until recently…or at least this post I found on FB says so: until-2009-the-human-clitoris-was-an-absolute-mystery. I guess it shouldn’t really be a surprise since much knowledge held by the western medical establishment can be parochial at best and misogynist in general. How we—women and men and those along that spectrum—are […]

Ask a Battleaxe: Should I Shave…Everything?

Ask a Battleaxe: Should I Shave…Everything?

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 […]

Positive Body Image Leads to Better Sex

Positive Body Image Leads to Better Sex

I often ask women to rank the most negative influences on their sexual relationship.  Over half of the time, “negative body image” heads the list.  We’re so trained to stand outside ourselves, judging our bodies–but to enjoy sex we need to enjoy how our bodies feel, not how they look.  So how do you make […]

How Lesbian Pulp Fiction Shaped Me

How Lesbian Pulp Fiction Shaped Me

I read the novel Spring Fire as a 15 year old, and the title came to represent, for me, the whole concept of lesbian love. The words of the title itself could have been from a poem by Sappho or H.D. And they certainly summed up Spring Fire‘s tale. Before I even started reading, the author’s […]

Col. Cammermeyer, ‘Serving in Silence’ No More

Col. Grethe Cammermeyer is a tall woman with an infectious smile and an easygoing manner. I had enjoyed chatting with her and her adorable wife Diane over dinner the previous night, and I was excited to watch her presentation. She was part of a large group of trailblazers and entertainers that filled the ship for […]

Mistresses and Dynasty: Trashy TV Joy

Mistresses and Dynasty: Trashy TV Joy

I have a confession: I’m addicted to the new ABC show Mistresses. It makes my uvula tremble. But the plot lines are ridiculous. I sit there and say, “God this is so stupid–turn it up!” There has already been a lesbian sex shower scene–two women sudsing up a yak–that’s hot! Alyssa Milano leads this series […]
