Where did all the pretty lesbians go? *frowns* Why do Gorgeous and I always WHINGE about what's out there, EVERYTIME we go out? And what is out there, you ask? "Baby dykes". And lots of them. Fark...I feel old. Everyone seems so farking young. When did this happen? Of course, I'm only 22...but still - looking at everyone...where did they all come from? Now, along with the baby dykes, what about those my age and older? They're all in couples. And they're staying home. Why do they stay home? Cause its comfy and domestic and secure. Why don't they go out? Cause they're smart enough to know that they're only going to WHINGE about it later. Why do I WHINGE? Cause I'm stupid enough to go out every weekend...
I'm such an idiot...
But, were there any pretty lesbians in the first place? Its been sooo long, I've forgotten what pretty lesbians look like...*grins*.
As such, I now console myself by reading detective lesbian books! That's right!!! Not only have I discovered the lesbian fiction section in Borders, but I've also discovered them in my local library!!! And in one swoop, I took away with me - 7, yes SEVEN detective books!!! 3 from one author, 4 from another. Plus a Tom Holt book ;) Annnddddd when I looked up lesbian stuff on the library catalogue, its like they've just MASS ordered all these lesbian books which will be on the shelves soon!!! *whispers* What's happened...? Why this sudden awareness of lesbians? *looks flabberghasted* Do they mean to say, that they actually care? *claps my hands with glee* I don't care!!! All I know is that I'm reading hot hot lesbian fiction!!!
Not only do I have lesbian books galore at my fingertips, but I also have started collecting my beloved '52' comic!!! I had to order a backlog of issues 1, 3 and 4. But I currently have 2, 5, 6, 7, 8. I actually had to go to an actual comic geek place to find them too!!! If you don't call that dedication, then you don't know SACRIFICE!!! But the comic guy was telling me how Batwoman doesn't show up til issue 11 - however, you catch your first glimpse of her in issue 7 - as a citizen!!! And heyyyy...this bugged me slightly...SHE'S GOT RED HAIR!!! Hmph...But no matter - she looked very nice *grins*. Aaahhh what a lovely lesbian world I live in!!! I don't like the ex police officer who also plays her ex though...the woman drinks alcohol likes its water...ick. What sort of things do they promote in comics nowadays? I remember the good old fashioned Archie comics...where they only drank soda and the only taboo word I ever saw in my entire childhood, was "Darn". Yes, darn it(!), that's all they used, "Darn". Quaint, isn't it? "Darn". You can put sooo much feeling into it. Go on, curl that lip and say it: "Darn!!!". Doesn't it feel so empowering?!?
Oh oh oh!!! And "Imagine Me and You" should be ready on dvd to purchase now, so I'll probably go and buy that, along with "Saving Face". But I can't find "Saving Face" anywhere...I'll find it somewhere :) *pats myself on the shoulder* dedication will see me through ;)
Claire McNab: an LA based Australian author, whose books are easy to read, can be read within a few hours, and can also provide some excitement. Not only that, she makes use of the Aussie sense of sardonic humour as much as possible - which can be entertaining. However, the only thing I find REALLY annoying about her stories, is she'll have an adequate plot going, but then at the end, she wraps its all up within a few pages and it ANNOYS THE HELL OUT OF ME!!! I'm reading and going along with the story all fine and dandy and then hey presto, the lesbian saves the day and gets the girl and figures it all out within 3 minutes...I mean, "whaaaaaaa?" That's cheating!!! I mean, if she's secretly a greenie and THAT keen on keeping her books to a set maximum amount of pages - then she should publish her freaking books online and DRAW OUT THE ENDING!!! Its like grabbing a cleaver and just going chop! She shouldn't do that!!! No chop!!! She should get a cheese knife, slowly cut, then get the sharp ends and slowly pick up the piece and chew on it thoughtfully. No chop!!!
Katherine V. Forrest: Who hasn't heard of this woman? I'm finishing off McNab's books first, but Forrest...*sighs* I couldn't help myself. I just had to read the only "lesbian love story" not based on detectives, before going on to the next McNab book. "Curious Wine": golly, what a read! When you're reading it, how she moves conversations around, how she goes about her characters...it kind of leaves your head in a spin...an awfully long spin. But when she's describing her love scenes...scenes of lust...*grabs a paper fan* oh dear!!! Sooo intimate...*whimpers* I miss sex!!! And long, drawn out kisses where you're just enveloped in softness and lips and tongue and the only thing you're capable of doing is melting and moaning. Yes. That's what a fabulous kiss is, when you're caught between melting and moaning LOL Its true!!! Whether you're going slow and savouring it, or you're both on fire and can't wait to rip each other's pants off - you're still melting and moaning...*whimpers again*...thank gawddd for lesbian themed books!!!
But yes...with such an influx of lesbian books - that means there must be lesbians reading them or ordering them...hmmm...is it really necessary to find some token favourite spot in the library and just keep an eye on where the lesbian authors are situated? Is it really worth it? To see who picks these books? Technically, such an occasion is too late though, for whoever would have ordered all these detective lesbian novels would not have the need to re-read them again...instead, leaving it for the poor cliterature-starved lesbians, such as myself, some morsel of delight!
Hmmm...for those who'd LOVE to know WHERE the lesbian fiction section is in Borders...maybe I shall tell you...we can go on a lesbian book expedition!!! I usually go on erotica or horoscope expeditions in book stores with my friends...but cliterature...that's an entirely different kind of eye candy ;)
Talking about expeditions, I went to Mint on Pride night...17.06.06. It was downstairs at the Pavilion in West End...I was hanging out with my Vietnamese friend "Cowgirl". I don't know how, but everytime we get stuck together, we both have an absolute ball and we're always bent over double laughing at how much we crack each other up *grins*. And the best part is, only WE understand why its sooo funny!!! That's the best kind I think!!! Leave everyone else bewildered!!! But yes, it was $5 entry and me being me, I kept pulling Cowgirl away from her girlfriend and taking her on lesbian safari expeditions. We'd go to the entrance and then I'd begin my spiele for the night:
~LESBIONIC'S ASIAN SPIELE~
"5 dulla only!!! Lookie lookie, no touchie touchie!!! You want touchie touchie, you pay more!!! You lucky you Aii-sssshhhhhaaaannnn, I get you goo[d] deal!!! These Cau-caaaa-shaaannnns, they a[l]ways try rip me off!!! You wi[t]h me, you get goo[d] deal!!! Aiyeeeeee!!! Don't look in eyes!!! Don't stop walking!!! They club unwary lesbian[s] with poo[l] cue and drag victim under poo[l] table and have wicked way with them!!! You stay with me, you safe! Lookie lookie, no touchie touchie!!!"
Needless to say, Cowgirl was ready to belt me over the head cause I was making her feel too Asian *sniggers*.
