...I'm pickin' favorites and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Allison Robertson, the guitar player for The Donnas, is my favorite Donna, super SUPER hot, and ya know, my guitar hero. Second to Jonny Lang of course cause it's just not human the things he can do with an axe. The night I met Fairuza Balk and watched as people gawked at Morrissey, I also met Allison. It was a Donnas show, so that made sense.

One thing I noticed as I approached her is that she's somehow even hotter when you're 2 inches away from her face. But don't worry. Against my normal instincts, I didn't just stare at her while 2 inches away from her and wait for one of us to blink. I actually engaged in decent conversation. Well, it was mostly me telling her how much of a rock goddess she is and how she doesn't get the credit she deserves, while thinking "I want to have your babies" in my inner monologue. But whatevs. She couldn't have been nicer. Or prettier. Or more guitar goddessier. *sigh*

Don't believe me? Here's a wicked solo from a show I saw last week:


And here's

How on EARTH did I miss this one?


(Ray Lavender & Fabolous "My Girl Got a Girlfriend")

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but I do know that my favorite part is: "Bust in da do' and see my girl wit'a chick."

Haha...well there ya go. I could see how that could be shocking, Ray.

All of the lyrics are amazing, really. Some could argue that it's a work of art. I won't. But some could.

Oh and two snaps for mentioning my new favorite sitcom, "Girlfriends" in the first few bars.

Whoopi Goldberg doesn't like the word "stupid." In fact, she thinks it's worse than saying "f*&^" and "s#!T" and even some horrible racial slurs. She thinks the use of the word "stupid" is an abomination. While I love me some Whoopi, her moral compass must not have picked up on this STUPID-a$$ site called "Is My Baby Gay?" Cause there is no other word to describe it.

It's simple really. You print out a sheet of paper. You have your baby lick the paper (uh, what?) and then you send in the sheet to their highly trained monkeys or fembots or whoever, who then tell you if your baby's gay. Oh and yeah, you also pay them 20 bucks for their trouble.

What in the holy hell??

I swear one day I have to find out how much Myspace makes on the Google ads they run on our homepages (where I first heard about the site). Since I'm listed as "lesbian", I get all sorts of ads about The L Word, lesbian personals, Johnny Depp (smart advertisers) and crayons. I guess that last one's supposed to be some reference to rainbows? Who knows? I like the one that keeps popping up that says:

"Are you Leisha Hailey?
It's Scary Accurate To See What Celebrity You Are. Find Out Now!"

I don't need to click anything. I know for a fact that I'm not Leisha Hailey ,and it's scary to see how much I'm NOT her.

Oh and let me say this too: DO NOT BE STUPID and pay the gay baby website any money. I know it should go without saying, but these here internets are home to some funny people who do funny things. Ya know what I'm sayin? If you wanna lick something, here's a list of things that are better than paper:

- orange slices
- peppermint
- sugar cane
- Jack Daniels out of a stripper's belly button
- raindrops
- strawberries

The list goes on and on folks. If you wanna know if your baby is gay, send him/her to me and I'll tell you right away. I just have the gift. That goes for teenagers and adults too. So if you're wondering about that friend of yours, arrange for us to "accidentally bump into each other" and I'll send you a detailed report of my findings.

...And I won't even charge you $19.95.

Oh my friends, you will never know the pressures I feel to give you all what you want on a daily basis. If you were just one lady, and were needin' some lovin', there'd be no problem. I'd put on my Maxwell cassette, pour you a glass of the finest wine $4.99 can buy at Albertsons, and *turn the lights down low.* You would leave a new woman. You'd speak in tongues. And later, I'd speak of tongues. To all my friends. As I showed them a slide show of our lovemaking. It would be great times.

But the satisfaction I want to provide for all of you isn't just of the flesh. (But mostly, it's of the flesh.) No, I also want to be a conduit of information. A beacon of hope. A leader of a new generation of...*sigh* Naw, I just wanna be able to show you more black lesbians in my posts. That's all. Cause we're hot and we're queer and we're here. Get used to it. And then get naked to it.

It's difficult enough finding anything *the gay* to post day after day, but finding clips of lesbians who are black and aren't being exploited...well, that's almost as rare as finding George Dubya on the "Spank & Tackle" float at the Miami PRIDE parade.

Of course there are plenty of beautiful, amazing black women who are lady-lovers. But for some reason, they've decided to hide their video cameras and eschew the lifeline that is Youtube.

Anyone who has asked me the question, or has been waiting patiently like I have to finally have *our* voice heard, fear not! There is hope. And that hope's name is tiona.m.

She's been filming interviews with black lesbians for the past few years, and is currently editing what will be a feature documentary slated to come out later this year that includes over 50 interviews. "black./womyn.:conversations..." is my new favorite movie that I haven't seen yet. Here are some excerpts from the film...


On being an out black lesbian...


On religion...

I'm not shallow.

Except when it comes to hot chicks. And this chick is hot:


Her name is Lucie. She's hot, she's British and she fronts a rock band called "The Fay Wrays." Of course once I was made aware of these important details, I immediately set to the task of creating colorful, yet refined wedding invitations for us. As I was adding the finishing touches to the anatomically correct stick figure drawings of us, ya know, *doing it* and stuff, my hand slipped, causing my mouse to scroll down just a wee bit further on Lucie's myspace page. Turns out the hot British rocker chick is in a beautiful, loving relationship...with someone who isn't me! Whatever. *sigh*

:-)

So the bad news is, you won't be receiving our awesome wedding invitations after all. The good news is, you can still rock out with your crock pot out to the band's killer songs by going to www.myspace.com/thefaywrays. I could definitely see their music on some Season 5 episodes of the L Word. Perhaps with Shane involved in more vehicular debauchery?

And to the lovely lady who has given Lucie a reason to proudly wear her purple string on the left wrist, I salute you. You guys, have a spot of tea and toast to me. And then send me pictures of you, ya know, *doing it*...and stuff.

Well, I do. And so do these girls...


(Axe Girl, Bexray Bass, & Sarah Fury (not pictured) image from: lovegirls.co.uk)

Don't call the band AXE GIRL a "gay band." They're just 3 chicks from the UK who happen to be made up of lesbians, and who happen to have a song called "I Like Girls," which is about being super, incredibly, ridiculously gay. But don't call them a "gay band." Seriously. They're a band. Who happen to be super gay. Thats ALL! :-)

I first heard this song a few weeks ago on some gay chick's myspace page. It was officially released as their first single on iTunes this week. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that if this is your first time hearing the song, it will now become your theme song in life. It's simple really: they like girls, and they want you to know it...
(Axe Girl - "I Like Girls." Thanks to this chick for sending in her rave review of their recent Manchester Pride gig.)

I don't know much about the band, but I've been able to figure out a few things. The girls got a lot of recognition when their lead singer Axe was featured on a UK music competition reality show called Musicool last Spring. Axe and Becky used to be a couple and recently broke up, but are still really good friends. And they all like girls. A lot. To find out more, go to their wicked interview on my favorite UK lezzy site, Lovegirls.

Go hear their other not-as-gay-but-still-pretty-gay songs on their myspace page, myspace.com/axegirlmusic.

We could be on to something here. I mean, what if instead of just being a girl, Gwen Stefani busted onto the scene 12 years ago with a song about wanting to be WITH a girl. It'd be a whole new world today... *Wayne and Garth flashback waves and sounds*

I'm a Celine Dion fan.

Yep, I said it. And nope, it wasn't a typo. There is no other French Canadian I'd rather pound my chest and release a dove to than Celine. Her voice: magnifique. Her songs: tres bon. Her oozebund: really, really old compared to her. But 'oo cares?? 'Oo are we to judge their love, when she goes out of her way to embrace ours?

On Wednesday, the 29th, it will be the 2nd anniversary of Hurricane Katrina making landfall on Louisiana/Mississippi. When it happened, like most people I spent hours and hours in front of the television watching every piece of footage I could find and feeling pretty helpless. And I'll never forget this appearance Celine made on

As you know, I like a chick I can climb. I like all shapes and sizes, but I get really excited by the girls that are so tall, I have to buy special rugged outdoorsy type boots just to hold a conversation with them.

My fellow QueerSighter Richard posted about his favorite U.S. Opener earlier this week, and so I just had to share mine: 2006 U.S. Open winner, Maria Sharapova. She has a little bit of everything that makes my heart go pitter patter. She's 6 foot, really hot, incredibly successful and is an amazing athlete. And definitely not in that order.

I will be glued to my television starting Monday (August 27th) watching her defeat all of the mere 5'11"ers and 5'10"ers tennis players out there. Catch all the action on the USA channel and the bigger matches later in the tournament on CBS. Whenever you hear Maria grunt, think of me.

This is Maria winning last year's Open against current #1 seeded Justine Henin. Notice the focus, drive and athleticism...all while wearing a dinner dress and earrings. Gotta love that:

Every time Maria's on television in the next 2 weeks, I'm going to sing this song aloud and rejoice:

Won't you join me?

Don't we all?

Hee...
( Loudon Wainwright's "I Wish I Was a Lesbian")

He had me when he wanted to correct the chick's grammar. Love it.

There's only one thing I like more than a lesbian: a group of lesbians. Wait, scratch that. A group of British lesbians! Like, duuuh.

Don't these ladies look like they're having a great time?


I recognize one of my readers, "Bullet" in that clip. You think they'd let me join their crew? If I'm going to join forces with them, I feel like I should stand out (you know, more than by being black, not wearing make-up, being the size of two of them put together, and being super American). What if I wear those old school roller skates all the time like Tutti used to do on Facts of Life? I could be the one that alway's blows huge bubbles with my gum and wears giant headphones all the time. I'd be like that cat on Heathcliff. We could go around and 'terrify the neighborhoods'. It'd be glorious!

I think the girls are in their late teens and early 20s. I'll find out for sure once I get high-fived in to the group, and I'll be sure to show you an updated version of the hijinks. See more on their youtube page.

This made me smile...


What I've been able to piece together with my razor-sharp detective skills is that these two ladies are 19 years old and live in either Connecticut or Minnesota. Or Africa. Wherever Winsted is:-) I've also pieced together that I adore them.

Here's a clip Cecelia (the chick with the shorter hair) created for Ines for the couple's 8th month anniversary earlier this month...

I LOVE lesbians in LOVE! :-)

You can see more and send your well wishes to them on their youtube profile.

People ask me why I don't showcase more women who are on the *butch* side of our lovely lesbian scale. The truth is, its hard to find any lesbian content 365 days a year, let alone targeted things that I'd love to show more of, like things of the butch nature, lesbians of color, etc.

But butchies and the women who love them, today is your lucky day! Enjoy this cool new music video I found...


("Butch/Femme" by Team Gina)

Um, were those nunchuck dildos?? Those were sweet! You learn something new every day.

I love what the "About Me" section on their myspace page has to say: "TEAM GINA has synchronized dance routines that will blow your mind. TEAM GINA has phat beats and hype rhymes for days. TEAM GINA has matching outfits that will make you cry. With barely a few shows under their sequined belts..."

Catch the ladies of Team Gina on tour right now! (See their myspace page for dates)

I'm a very happy camper right now because today I woke up to find that my good buddy (who fits in the *she's not gay but is totally supportive of our community* category) Terra Naomi's new music video is circulating all around the net.

Check out her brand new video for her next single, "Not Sorry," which will be released in September:


Terra's in London now, experiencing something out of a fairytale. We've known each other for almost 5 years, and I haven't seen her since January, so seeing her in videos is like the ultimate postcard for me. And I hope this post is the same for her:-)

Here's a mini-docu that will bring you up to speed if you are just discovering Terra:


One year ago Terra was barely keepin' her head above water in the tiny fish/gigantic pond scenario that is the L.A. music scene. Although she

Watch the whole thing...


Story of my life...

You can see more on her youtube profile.

Oh and which outfit did you like the best? I liked the second one she changed into the most. That reminds me! I've always wanted to be the kind of girl who could pull off wearing ties. I just don't have a style. Anyone wanna volunteer to be my stylist?

I've been talking about kissing a lot lately, haven't I?

It's a good topic, I think. It's certainly one I never get tired of discussing, thinking about, viewing, or doing.

I came across this video compilation of several lesbian kisses in film. Anyone who's ever searched Youtube knows that there are hundreds and hundreds of these types of clips (which is NOT a bad thing!). But this one caught my attention because it uses a jazz song instead of the normal pop/love song used in most, which makes it quite hypnotizing. If you find yourself sort of frozen in time about halfway through it, let me know. Maybe I'm just in an extra romantic mood lately.

(song: Stacey Kent's "They Say It's Wonderful")

Watching these scripted kisses back to back like that makes me think of what it must be like to be an actress doing these sorts of scenes. All of those clips are so convincing. They look so natural. I need for an actress to lay it out for me, either through comment here, or by coming to my apartment and showing me hands on.

Ahem.

I wonder, how much practice do you do with the other actress? Do you stay
