Bio

Gay Lady and moderator/facilitator of A2 Connection: Lesbian Social Network and LezReadA2 in Ann Arbor, MI.

Very social, but also a lone wolf. Guess I play well with others. And yes, I look like my "photo."

Mother of a 16-year-old progressive liberal-type son.

Currently trying to get into a size 12 -- my own, I mean. One size to go!

This is the first year I've had to use moisturizer and sunscreen. Wah. But I don't look my age. (Except for my defiantly grey fauxhawk.)

I like to shop at the Gap, J Crew and Banana Republic. This is mostly because then I don't have to think about what to wear.

Current nail polish color: OPI Black Satin alternating with Lincoln Park After Dark.

I have 4 tattoos and two off-ear piercings. Guess where?!

I am also finding that I am becoming the Fruitcake Lady, which I didn't expect to happen for at least 35 years in the future.

 

 

Favorite Books
Too numerous to list. I'm currently re-reading Angels & Insects by A. S. Byatt with Pages for You by Sylvia Brownrigg next on my list (this month's book club book). Since I have been involved in bookselling, publishing and journalism for most of my life I can't begin to list all my favorites. But I can quote the entire first paragraph of Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. It was my mantra as an awkward teen.
Favorite Lesbian/Bi TV or Movie Characters
I save my favors for real Lesbians. If Jack from Will & Grace was a Lesbian, that would be me.
Favorite Musicians / Bands
OMG. I have 300g of bands I could list here. Most recent obsessions: Modest Mouse, old Motown artists, completing my collections from The Beatles, Blondie, The Who. I also like jazz and blues from the 20s and 30s. I was an original punk in the 70s, and while my tastes in music have softened, I'm still pretty much an anarchist. Who cares?: Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, and trad Lesbian bands and musicians. So over them all. Hates: Betty, gangsta rap, most mainstream crap.
Favorite TV Shows
The Sopranos, The L Word, ANTM, AI, Law & Order (all permutations), Project Runway, Drive, Work Out, Shear Genius, Big Love
Favorite Movies
To cry: Glory, How to Make an American Quilt To laugh: Napoleon Dynamite Can't channel past: any John Hughes movies from the 80s. Would love to write the sequel to: St. Elmo's Fire -- call it St. Elmo's Ashes and show them all 20 years later. Sense & Sensibility, Titanic, Gone With the Wind, All About Eve, The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Cape Fear (DeNiro), Lolita (Irons), Jackass, Jackass 2
