Did you encounter any bad reactions when you first came out? ... Read More |

Pauline Mariam is HOT
Hot Flash was founded by Pauline Miriam, a political organizer from the 70s who found herself unexpectedly single at age 50. She realized her options for meeting women her own age were extremely limited, so she created Hot Flash Dance Parties. Now in its eighth year, Hot Flash Inferno has grown beyond the wildest dreams of Pauline, with dances throughout the West Coast, from Seattle to San Diego... Read More

Margie Adam & Jewelle Gomez Part 2 It's interesting, the energetic trajectory of an artist. I remember sometime in 1975, writing "Would You Like To Tapdance On The Moon?" on the back of a California map, driving down the freeway at 80 miles an hour. I was on fire! And Jewelle, I don't experience you being any less on fire now - nor do I feel like I am...Read More |
Monica Palacios �2012 All rights reserved Active Bottoms
I stared at myself in the mirror thinking-I look like a muffin. But as soon as I put on the shape enhancing fabric, I was transformed from a muffin into a long and slender cr�pe. My new attitude grew as I continued to try on other metamorphic shorts. I felt so good I started to sing and dance around like Liza Minnelli in Cabaret. "What good is sitting alone in your room" I belted out. "Come hear the music play. Life is a Cabaret old chum"... Read More

Sex, History & Lesbian Outlaws Jeanne Cordova's new book, 'When We Were Outlaws' is hard to put down. When I came out in 1979 I had no awareness of what was happening in the struggle for Gay and Lesbian rights both past and present. Jeanne played a huge role in the Los Angeles Lesbian movement of the 1970s. Her memoir is an inspiring story about a time when Gay men and Lesbians didn't necessarily see themselves as allies. She explains what being a radical feminist was like in the early days. How she struggled with ideals such as the commitment to non-monogamy, commonly thought of as a Patriarchal construct...Read More |

My Murphy Brown Pregnancy
I was the most unlikely woman to bear a child that I've ever heard of. When I grew up in the 60's as a rough-and-tumble tomboy, I used to fantasize that I still had a choice as to whether I would grow up to be male or female. I was sure that if I ended up as a boy, I'd be shipped off to Vietnam. But if I was a girl-I would have to bear a child-an equally horrifying prospect. Neither option was appealing in the least. One day while I practiced flexing my muscles... Read More
