From Screw Bronze (The Lesbians Go to the Sex Shop)

Filed under: Personal, Sex & Sexuality, Shopping — diane @ 8:01 pm

The lesbians go to the sex shop: vibrators ahoy!

Looking for a bonding and cheerful event for us this weekend Linda called ahead and found that a local adult toy and sex aid shop was wheelchair accessible on “one floor.” So off we go! Turns out, “one floor” actually meant the 20 feet around the entrance before the stairs into the sunken shop. Well, so much for subtle browsing. The girl there (let’s call her Ana) was pretty cool so within about 15 minutes we had enough sex toys opened up on the counter to drive the two guys shopping there to the complete other end of the building. We were looking for something functional, a toy that could handle solo and partner work and made by a decent company. The problem was the boxes most vibrators were in made it very hard to take the toy seriously. We looked at about five different butterfly vibes only it was hard to focus on the vibrators because the boxes and names were SO trashy.While I liked the high intensity vibration of the clit stimulator butterfly antenna, did I really want to buy a product called “The Hustler” (pictured) or worse, look like one of the big breasted, I-am-totally-a-porn-star women who was spread (literally) across every other butterfly vibe front cover. Was any pleasure worth the bizarre and perhaps male-fantasy induced look on her face (and long dewy lashes)? I asked Ana there if these particular boxes included a booklet for starting your internet porn business. I don’t know about you, but I don’t shave every single body hair, put on full face and body make-up then get my hair blow dried to country music size just to use my vibrator. She totally agreed on the, um, depiction of women chosen to sell the product (hey company, aren’t you selling this to WOMEN? Where are the natural women using said product?) and talked about some chin strap dildo they had gotten in with a ludicrous name like “Master Penetrator” and how it had to use a styrofoam head for the picture because they couldn’t some big hair/big make-up blondie to manage to make this…um…product look sexy.Read more: http://elizabethmcclung.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

From Queen Bee-atch’s Realm (Anticipation)

Filed under: Personal — genia @ 7:06 pm

Anticipation

I feel you start from my toes to my heel
Feel you from my heel to my ankle
from ankle to shin
from my shin to my knee
from knee to my popliteal
from popliteal to my thigh
from my thigh to my hip
from hip to sacral
from sacral to waist
from my waist to my back
from back to scapular
from scapular to shoulder
from shoulder to arm
from arm to elbow
from elbow to my palm
from palm to my wrist
from wrist to my forearm
from arm to my shoulder
from shoulder to clavicle
from clavicle to neck
from neck to my ear…
“I love you”
“I love you too”
from ear to forehead
from forehead to the bridge of my nose
from tip of my nose to my waiting lips
tracing, tasting, searching, hungering for more
and as I lavish from your kisses I knew
That this is our night,
and our night has just begun

From Daily Dose of Queer (Civil Unions and Couples Credit)

Filed under: Lesbian & Gay Rights, Politics, Republicans — diane @ 7:57 pm

Civil unions, which have been adopted mainly for same-sex couples, are still in their infancy in the United States. There is plenty of controversy surrounding this concept, particularly from the conservative point of view, and only four U.S. states currently recognize them (VT, NH, NJ, CN). Political issues aside, however, there are a few implications of a civil union that many people simply don’t consider.When two people get married, the federal (and consequently the state) government recognizes their credit profiles as joined. The two individuals might have radically different credit scores, but they share the same debt, and one partner’s mistakes might negatively affect the couple for loans and lines of credit. With civil unions, however, credit issues become muddled because the federal government does not recognize the union as legal.

In 1996, the federal government passed the Defense of Marriage Act, which states that even though individual states can adopt Civil Union laws, other states are not obligated to recognize them and they are not legally entitled to the same rights as married couples. For example, if you enter into a civil union in Vermont, which began allowing them in 2000, you might find that your situation changes if you move to Texas or Arkansas.
