No Kissing at Midnight!
Dear Battleaxe, I am going to a New Years Party where there will be people I certainly don’t want to kiss at midnight—or any other time. Any suggestions? Dear Party Pooper, There are a number of things you can do, but let’s start with these: 1. Don’t go to the party 2. At 11:59 bite […]
The Epochalips Interview: Marga Gomez
You are a comedian, actress and playwright, tell us a little about your background and how you got started. MG: My parents were both respected performers in the Latino community in New York City. My dad was a comedian and producer. My mom was a dancer and actress. I’m a lousy dancer but I was […]
All I Want For Christmas
When I was a kid, there was a popular holiday song called “All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth.†So what does a grown up dyke wish for at Christmas, Kwanzaa or Hannukah? After all these years of accumulating Stuff, I can think of more I’d rather lose than gain. Starting with […]
Debt, Schmedt
One Saturday afternoon when I was maybe five or six, my Dad was reading the paper and I was watching some grim Dickens-ish movie on little our black and white GE console.

Crying for Barbara Grier
She could raise you like a glorious garden. She could plough you under with the sharp tines of her raking words. She could see the promise of what you could yield or trample eager green first growth. Called a force of nature, she was more than that: she was the force itself and we were […]
Barbara Grier Broke the Silence
Barbara Grier (left, shown with partner Donna McBride) passed away November 10 at the age of 79…young from my perspective, but obviously an elder in the world of lesbians and of publishing.
