Who Wants to Buy Me a Present?
Because I want one of these. You should get one too. My favorites: The Show Is Upstairs, Excerise Your Rights, and Marriage Is So Gay. I love Periel (for anyone in the NY area, Voices for Choice at NYU will be hosting a fashion show in the spring featuring her new line). She makes amazing, [...]

This is interesting: A group of angry ex-models is bashing the SuicideGirls alt-porn empire, saying its embrace of the tattoo and nipple-ring set hides a world of exploitation and male domination.

Looks like someone’s got a little crush on the Feministe ladies. And, apparently, we (or at least I) are/am tools of the religious right (who knew?), intent on making gays and lesbians hate themselves by way of discovering Jesus. You learn something new every day. I would just keep arguing this out on RA’s site, [...]

A Texas grand jury on Wednesday indicted Rep. Tom DeLay and two political associates on charges of conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme, forcing the House majority leader to temporarily relinquish his post. A defiant DeLay insisted he was innocent and called the prosecutor a “partisan fanatic.” DeLay responds to the accusations and steps down [...]
