When Lesbian Cats Attack!

Posted in February 27th, 2008
Published in Videos, Oddities

So I was sitting alone, doing my work as usual, when my mind began to drift. After a while I ended up thinking, what is it with cats and lesbians? (don’t know how I got there, either *shrugs*) It’s almost a stereotype now: if you’re a lesbian, you must have a cat, or at least […]

Posted in February 24th, 2008
Published in Anime, Films, TV

I confess. Even in my late 20’s I’m still into watching cartoons. I don’t think I’ll ever outgrow it, being addicted since childhood to classics like Astroboy, Transformers and Voltes V, as well as more recent diversions like Ghost Fighter, Hunter X Hunter, and a host of others.

To be sure, the book Lesbian Nuns: Breaking the Silence is not meant to titillate the senses. It is a collection of real people’s stories, a serious exploration of a subject everybody knew, but was never talked about: there are many lesbians in the convents. I grew up wanting to be a nun, and so […]

Published in Europe, Films

The results are out for the Berlinale film festival! Everybody’s talking about the big winner of the Golden Bear award (the equivalent of Oscars Best Picture), Brazil’s Tropa de Elite (Elite Squad).

Buffy Season 8 Comics Review
If somebody told me that Buffy could possibly be bisexual and that she’s gonna be romantically involved with another slayer, I would have said, “Nice fanfic. Did you write that yourself?” And yet here we are with the latest issue of the Season 8 comics, and we’re faced with exactly that. […]

But I’m a simple girl content with my simple world. A kiss and a hug from my girlfriend is more than enough. Of course, I still have my fantasies, and no, it’s […]
