Pride? Forget it.
By Grace Fox in Pride
I’m not going to Pride this year and informing my friends of this decision has been like coming out all over again. I sit them down, take a deep breath and say, “There’s something that I have to tell you.” and they fidget nervously like I’m about to tell them that I finally offed my crazy gay neighbor who insists on vacuuming the mulberries out of his lawn at 5a.m.
World Cup: who are you rooting for?
By Grace Fox in Sports
I was a typical American for most of my life, never really knowing or caring much about soccer at all. I had never heard of the World Cup, had never seen a game, had no knowledge of crazy fans with painted faces waving flags and screaming wildly.
Then, I met my girlfriend.
Does your mama do drama?
By Grace Fox in Momma Grace
There is a children’s book called, “Is Your Mama a Llama?” in which a little llama named Lloyd asks his animal friends about their mothers. We know something that Lloyd does not, however. We know that the word that goes best with “mama” is not “llama” – it’s “drama.” So, step aside Lloyd because I need to ask, “Does Your Mama Do Drama?”
BIGFOOT! Or, friends don’t let friends wear ugly shoes.
By Grace Fox in Fashion
We cannot let Vibram creep into the fashion lexicon of our community. It took long enough for us to transcend that whole Birkenstock stereotype and, if lesbians start buying these shoes en masse, we will never live it down. This is the sort of fashion mistake from which people do not recover. So, let us be vigilant. If you see a lesbian wearing these, wrestle the damn things off of her woman-lovin’ feet. Friends don’t let friends wear ugly shoes!
Review of La Cucina (or La Snorina)
By Grace Fox in Movies
So, last weekend, we settled in to watch La Cucina and I thought, “Food, wine, conversation, Leisha Hailey, what could go possibly go wrong?!” Well, it turns out that the answer to that little question is “quite a bit.”
Queer Plates for the Square States
By Grace Fox in Mindless chatter
While Grace Chu and Grace Rooney were conquering the Dinah, I was driving to Denver via the endless stretch of nothingness known as Nebraska which had fewer lesbians and a lot less nudity than Palm Springs.

I liked the L Word Book, and not in a hipster ironic way. I really really liked it.
By Grace Fox in Books
I am going to confess a deep dark secret to you now – I bought the L Word Book by Jennifer Beals. Buying this book makes me feel like the biggest dork ever, like the kind of person who might scribble “Tibette Forever” on her notebook in study hall. I justified it by saying it was for charity and that I needed to keep up with lesbo pop culture but, really, I just wanted to see pretty pictures of pretty people. Do you want to know what’s in the book? Do you want some tidbits? You know you do because lesbians love those L Word actresses.
Spa Days – or “Aren’t cucumber slices meant to be thrown in salads?”
By Grace Fox in Awkward, Culture
Grace Fox is not a girly girl. Watch what happens when she gets thrown into a tribe of them. Hilarity ensues. Or maybe it doesn’t. You decide.
