My Brain is a Many Gendered Thing

My Brain is a Many Gendered Thing

Harry Benjamin Syndrome is just that, a syndrome. It is a medical condition that ultimately explains what many people have long since called a psychological phenomenon; transsexualism. I first read about this condition on a blog. Eternally seeking to explain my gender oddities away, I naturally read and researched the topic of HBS. I learned […]

Vivacious Vegetarianista

I became a vegetarian for a dame. I know—the things we do for love. But when I met this lovely lady 22 years ago, my meat consumption was minimal. I was a waitress at a steakhouse and serving grilled flesh all the time made me shiver and my nipples spin. And then one day, the […]

Picture This!

Picture This!

Last week the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden at the hands of Navy Seals rocked US citizens and most of the world. I’m not one for cheering at the death of anyone, even a sexist, despotic killer. I think celebrating any death diminishes life in general. But that’s just me. For years […]

Is Kate Clinton a Battle Axe?

Is Kate Clinton a Battle Axe?

Ahhh…Kate Clinton! Political-clever-unapologetic-irreverent-crazy-Kate. I met Kate Clinton at the Dinah and asked her to ponder what the term “Battle Axe” meant to her. I wanted to prep her for the interview with Epochalips the following week. http://youtu.be/mT_Aiu9qWOk Well, the truth is, she wasn’t super thrilled with it, and she tried to explain why. She has […]

Desert Heart

Desert Heart

The desert is still in me: the shadowed cabin, the sandy ground etched with silhouettes of Joshua trees and blossoming oleanders. I feel as if I am at the end of a road, at a place where no one has been for a long time. The wind blows and the afternoon is beaten down by […]

Nicole Conn’s Sexy New Film

Nicole Conn’s Sexy New Film

Wow! I’ve had such a “life-altering” experience on the set of A Perfect Ending. It’s like every incredible cast and crew member had been hand-picked by fate to converge at this moment in time; where 40 some odd people heard “Action” – and magic ensued for the next 3 weeks solid.  These exceptional artists put […]

The Best Looking Woman

The Best Looking Woman

I’m thinking about good looks.  I mean what is good looking? What looks good to whom?  How do we know when we look good?  Who do we look good to? Maybe this is on my mind because Elizabeth Taylor died and she was considered one of the best looking women in movies.  Even I thought […]

No, No to Mr. Gyno

No, No to Mr. Gyno

I was in the pens, pencils and popcorn aisle at Staples, trying to figure out if I should commit to the extra fine point or the fine point.  I was doodling on the practice note pad and I was feeling political so I wrote: Stop the war—show me your panties. I was writing other profound […]

Hairballs, Hot Flashes & A Girlfriend in a Bubble

In my 61 years I have learned many things and have some good old-fashioned common sense. Send your questions to Eleanor@lesbiangcemag.com. Dear Battle Axe, I have been going to the Hot Flash dance parties  for the mature, seasoned woman—I’m 65. More than once,  young, beautiful women in their 30’s have flirted with me. They say […]

Harlem Vibrates with Possibility

Harlem Vibrates with Possibility

“I used to live in the world, then we moved to Harlem.”  So goes the opening lines of one of the poems in Ntozake Shange’s groundbreaking choreopoem, “For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf.”  I saw that theatre piece more than anything else before or since.  It signaled the possibility that […]
