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: 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.

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.

She has a lot of sexual violence and sexulaized violence in several of her vids -- sometimes she's the victim, sometimes she's the perp. Often the same 'character' is both.

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.
