I’m getting ready to head out to Baltimore’s Red Emma bookstore for the Baltimore leg of the touring I’m doing with my anthology Kicked Out but before I hit the road I wanted to get up a post about Femmepop this great musician who I just recently discovered. Her songs are super fun and very [...]
No doubt about it, Tristan Taorino’s new anthology “sometimes she lets me: Best Butch/Femme Erotica” is hot! My review copy came in the mail last Saturday afternoon right as my partner and I were preparing to head to the airport for a much needed vacation—-needless to say this made for some very fun airport reading!

I was really excited when I was asked if I was interested in reviewing Kink Academy because I’ve been hearing such great things about it from just about every leather person I know! That said, I was also a little skeptical of how much I personally would enjoy the site. I’m incredibly blessed that I [...]

I expected this would be the same [...]

For retail it was just about the best job that a bearded lady, genderqueer femme, with foot long hot pink and black pigtail hair extensions, piercings, and tattoos could hope for. It was also a [...]
