The Dilemna of Whole Body Scanners
People are concerned not only for their privacy but for a variety of other reasons when faced with the possibility of being subject to a full body scan at airport security check points. Privacy and what some deem illegal search and seizure seemed to be the main topics in the news and opinions articles put […]
Every Cookie Has a Mission…
So say the Girl Scouts. (Full disclosure: I was not a Girl Scout; I was a Camp Fire Girl.) They didn’t have Girl Scout troops in my economically forgotten neighborhood in Boston in the 1950s so the GS phenomenon was only familiar to me through television. So I liked the jaunty neck kerchiefs and khaki […]
Granny’s Baghdad
It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve heard their stories, my stateless roots need nourishment. My family has been my country, the stories fortify my identity. Today we are in the kitchen, Mom, Granny and me and my notebook. They are my captives as long as they are washing, chopping, cooking, preparing dinner. “So tell […]
Top 5 Sex Tips for Lez-elder-bians
There is a significant lack of information designed for older lesbians about sex. The sex manuals, videotape series, and Cosmopolitan-type magazine articles for heterosexual women do not contain lesbian-specific tips and may be misleading, and the lesbian-specific sex books and videos are geared to a much younger audience. So what is the older lesbian to […]
Beyond the Binary Gender Model

While most people are content with living the expected lives of the gender they were assigned according to their genitals, there are many who feel their gender is completely opposite of their […]
Marga & the Battle Axe Do the Taco Taste Test
A lot of people I know have never tried eating at a Taco Truck. It makes me wonder, do they question the quality? Do they hate to eat standing up? Is the term ‘Roach Coach’ lurking in the recesses of their mind? Where have they been? Street food is all the rage.  Hellooooo, don’t they […]
Monday Hearts for Madalene
What a great honor to be asked to contribute to Epochalips. And even better to get to write about LOVE . With Valentines day so quickly approaching, it seems like the retail world will not disappoint us with this years monsoon of red heart rain. Of all the holiday commercial blanketing we must endure I […]
When Identity Boxes Collapse
Identifying as a lesbian for most of my life has given me a place to belong. Even when I produced my two children the ‘old fashioned way’, in my eyes, I was just a lesbian having heterosexual sex to create a child. Bisexual was never an option for me, even though I have had relationships […]
I Miss La Rondalla like I’d Miss a Woman
I know it was just a restaurant but I miss La Rondalla like I’d miss a woman. Voluptuous, gritty, innocent and knowing. Plastic flowers in her hair. Dressed up in gossamer Christmas lights along side photographs of men with guns and small game trophies. Diane and I used to go regularly—I was pork and chicken […]
Art Imitates Love in ‘Elena Undone’
An Homage to my Soul Mate – And how it Created The Longest Kiss in Cinema History! Making film is like falling in love. The first burst of excitement and enthusiasm, the sweeping epic bubble you live in while you plan your lives (script), all that great sex in the beginning is like the shoot […]
