Super Bowl time!

By Grace Fox in Sports

The Super Bowl is a very special event because it manages to combine Jesus, Bud Light and nachos. Millions of people across the country will spend the entire day bombarded with advertising for poor quality beer and foods that would be voted Most Likely to Clog Your Arteries in the high school of foods. It’s crazy. It’s ridiculous. It’s a complete spectacle. And, yeah, I’ll be watching.

Portugal and dividing labor. (Non sequitur but it works.)

By Grace Fox in Dating, Politics / Current Events, Travel

Portugal allows same sex marriage (without gaybies) but it’s still better than the U.S. And who does the dishes in your relationship?

By Grace Fox in Fashion

A public service announcement to the lesbos out there who think that wearing Tevas to work events and holiday parties are acceptable. News flash – it’s not. We’re here to help. So help us help you.

So you think you can be a lesbian?

By Grace Fox in Culture, Featured

Almost every straight woman thinks she could be a lesbian. She imagines cuddling with her favorite girlfriend and kissing her soft lips and talking about feelings and all that. It all sounds so good but, let me tell you, lesbianism is not for the faint of heart. I’ve developed a written obstacle course for those with lesbian aspirations. Who will make the cut?

Lesbian Cocktails

By Grace Fox in Food and drink

After a recent night out at a fancy cocktail bar, I decided to search for lesbian cocktails to see what drinks I was missing. According to Google, not much, which is a lie. Our reputation is at stake, so mix us up something special in the comments! We can do better than what’s out there.

Lesbian Mad Libs

By Grace Fox in Featured, Mindless chatter

Today, I am going to ask you to do something different, something unheard of in this electronic age. I am going to ask you to stop reading right now and go get a piece of paper and a pencil. Or a pen. Or a quill. Or a stone tablet and chisel. Whatever works for you.

Review of Whip It

By Grace Fox in Movies

The bottom line is that “Whip It” is a fun feminist movie and “fun” and “feminist” aren’t paired nearly often enough. The action is driven by strong female characters who are unconventional in appearance and in the ways in which they behave. It’s all about connecting to people who help you find and embrace your true self.

Attack of the lesbian clones?

By Grace Fox in Awkward, Parenting, Straight People

It’s that time of year when the air is crisp and the leaves are beginning to fall gently onto the ground in colorful heaps.  The birds are flying south and the squirrels are returning to school. Did I say squirrels? That was a total slip of the typing fingers – I meant  children…the children are returning to school. With the new school year upon us, those of us lesbians who…

The Labor Day weekend Twitter war over homophobia. Hint: The lesbians won.

By Grace Fox in Blogs, Featured

Last Friday, a homophobic Twitter trend, mostly written by barely literate mouth breathers, reached number 1 on Twitter. Within hours, the lesbians rallied by creating a less homophobic and grammatically challenged counter-trend that shot past the homophobic trend to number 1. Here is a recap of the Great September 4 Twitter Battle over Homophobia. As Margaret Cho said, “As if you would win a war without lesbians.”
