I swear, this camera just makes shit up.
Behold the transmutative power of Holga! This chicken salad sandwich on a toasted cheese bun with bacon, corn and blackeyed pea relish, fruit salad with poppyseed dressing, chips and a dill pickle—a combo known to me since childhood as a “special” at the Mermaid Bar at Neiman-Marcus in […]
In Which The Author Pronounces On A Popular Hobby
Published January 26th, 2006 in Easy Persiflage and Patriarchy-blaming. 113 CommentsImagine my surprise when a recent post in which I waxed autobiographical about my former life as a rock star devolved, in the comments, into a discussion on BDSM.
I kid, I kid! I wasn’t really surprised. All posts on feminist blogs eventually devolve into discussions on BDSM. There’s a Usenet term for this phenomenon. It’s […]

I missed when the whole sex-positive-feminist thing happened, but I think it went down while I was playing punk rock in a loud chick band while dressed in a negligée.
In St. Louis in the 90s, a band of three women with nary an Ovation acoustic guitar (or, as the femme-folk hatas used to call’em, “Ovulations”) […]
Think Globally, Blame Locally
Published January 23rd, 2006 in Easy Persiflage and Patriarchy-blaming. 57 CommentsHere’s what the patriarchy-blaming world looked like over the past 6 hours. Clearly the Twisty dogma machine has put up an extremely poor showing Asia, and has failed entirely in South America, Africa, and, yes, Antarctica. A spinster aunt’s work is never done.
