  • Patty has a cold. :(

  • Also, Buffy and Angel? Not here yet.

  • Finished my WIAD story.

  • Can we talk about Lady Gaga's new video? Because I could. All day. Not only is it a response to a certain era of Madonna, but it also goes to a lot of strange, strange uncomfortable places, the fascist references in its physical language being close to the top of the list. It's incredibly cool, smart stuff. There needs to be a Gaga Studies Journal, that's all I'm saying.

  • From all of my friendslist to all of yours: [livejournal.com profile] liljacks_corner is a community that has been set up for fan creators to make G-rated stuff for an eight-year-old boy named Jack who has just lost his legs; one of the only things that cheers him up right now is Doctor Who. He's only seen the first two seasons of the New series. What's being requested is a story about a little boy, much like the one it's for, going on an adventure with the Doctor and Rose. Details at the community.

  • Ready to start hollering? Daring to discuss women in science.

  • The Century Athletic Club.

  • New York now has an AllStaints Spitalfields.

  • Does anyone know more about this: is Judy Shepard's book homophobic? Accusations vague, scenario murky. Bwah? Anyone read it?

  • Didn't know this: Stephanie Flores, the Peruvian woman van der Sloot has reportedly confessed to killing, was a lesbian.

    Yes, and she's been chucked off a balcony.

    Contrast it with a scenario where there are multiple men "pedestaling" the central woman.

    (Have you ever noticed the bondage chandelier women in this?) LOL 1953.

    Bondage chandelier women! So! Bizarre!

    Found I couldn't watch it without "Material Girl" trying to play over it in my head. I clearly have Eighties Damage.

    I don't remember which musical it was, but I remember boggling over a dance number from the same era which had cat girls and whips.
