Hello and bless us everyone in this, the week of Sara Ramirez’s fully realized ascent to true bi butch babe stardom! I have honestly spent half my week talking about Sara Ramirez to anyone who would listen, and I’m not likely to stop anytime soon, BECAUSE LIKE HAVE YOU SEEN IT? Have you seen it? Hot damn.

Pull yourself together Queer Girl, you’ve got a job to do!

Ok:

This week, Carmen invited us to an absolutely spooktacular movie night with the Sanderson sisters.

Busting out of your button-down? Doreen’s got tips for that!

And then there were your comments!


On BREAKING: Natalie Barney and Liane de Pougy Break Up Because Amour Is a Lie:

The Brightest Burn Award to Blue cousin:

Darling, thank you. Much better than what they used to write in the gossip columns at Bar Harbor. Suzie’s book is excellent but one or two small points. She didn’t say “please don’t.” She said I wasn’t worth enough to buy her out of “that business of the bed.” Which was a shocker, believe me. Always money with Liane, which you can read about in my secret 1926 novel that Chelsea Ray just translated, “Women Lovers.” Although it’s not quite what I meant by the French title, but no matter. Not to monopolize the spotlight, I must add for your Modern readers that Liane was the Angelina Jolie of 1895. Maybe we should forgive her everything. As for little Paule, do you know she is MOBBED at her poetry readings? She hires a male stand-in. Well I’m dashing because you see Lucie Delaure-Mardrus was not exaggerating when she wrote in “The Angels and the Perverse” (NOT The perverts—poor translation there!) that I keep 21 appointments a day. Once again thank you dear Riese for keeping the flaming tongue burning bright! Your Nat Nat.

On Pop Culture Fix: Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie Is Marvel’s First Bisexual Character and More Gay Superhero News:

The Hair Today, Hair Tomorrow Award to Another Rachel:

I’m sorry, but IS THAT HAIRCUT GOING TO BE ON TV? That haircut. Haircut. The way her hair is cut. On tv. It’s a lot guys, is all I’m saying.

The HMS Butch Babe Award to Chandra:

Queer girl: Her hair is like the prow of a beautiful ship. / Chandra: The HMS Butch Babe. Brings new meaning to the Love Boat - climb aboard.

And the Time Traveler’s Root Award to CognacSmalls:

I came out as bisexual like 15 years ago and yet, somehow, this picture is my root.
