Dear Queer Diary: Virginia Woolf Is My Homegirl

Virginia Woolf is my homegirl. Even though this particular turn of phrase would surely scandalize her aristocratic sensibilities, I stand by my statement. Virginia Woolf is, without a doubt, my number-one journaling role model.
“I know this Virginia Woolf character,” some of you are probably thinking. “She has a weird nose and was played by Nicole Kidman in that depressing movie back in the early 2000s.” Correct. But it would also be correct to say that Virginia Woolf was a bangin’ feminist writer, a poppin’ queer lady, and a fan-freakin’-tastic diarist.

Anonymous Sex Toy Review: The Outlaw

AUTOSTRADDLE ANONYMOUS SEX TOY REVIEW #38:
It’s our 38th Autostraddle Anonymous Sex Toy Review! Over the last few years, sex toy companies and stores have propositioned us, wondering if we’d like to review their toys in exchange for, you know, their toys. We’ve decided to start saying yes to the dress.
This week, I tried out Vixen Creation’s Outlawdildo. I paid actual money for it, so follow your…

Five Queer Cultural Touchstones I Totally Missed

I joined the queer army fairly recently, so I spent most of my life missing out on all sorts of critical cultural touch stones. I’ve been catching up recently — I just read Tipping the Velvet and cheered and watched Brokeback Mountainand wept — while there are other things I feel pretty ok about missing, even if it means I’m out of the loop for all eternity. There is so little media with pronounced and meaningful queer themes, but I still feel like there are endless films, books and TV shows I am totally clueless about. Here are a few:

I’m faster than the speed of the light when it comes to getting those gum drops out of their packaging. I remove your bra so quickly, I put the “yonic” in tachyonic particle. It doesn’t bother me in the least that tachyonic particles are hypothetical, or that most physicists don’t think they exist because they’re not consistent with the known law of physics. I’ll tell you what, most physicists have not yet experienced the thrill of me taking off their bras. I feel sorry for them. Their big bangers need to breathe.

And so is Brian’s when she casts Jenny and Cory as stand-in actors in her new, sexy installment, Open Call.

6 Tips For First-Time Lingerie Shoppers

Given that my blog is called The Lingerie Lesbian it should be no surprise to anyone that I think that lingerie is the loveliest, shiniest thing in the whole world and I like nothing more than acquiring much too much of it. However, the truth is that it can be more than a bit intimidating to shop for, especially if you are just starting out. To get you started, here are 6 things that I always try to think about when I’m lingerie shopping.

Team Pick: Share Expenses With Splitwise, Create Peace With Live-in Girlfriend

Since moving in with my girlfriend in August, I’ve learned a few surprising things:
I’m a dog person.
Our mothers apparently had very different ideas on which food items need to be refrigerated (and, consequently, so do we).
Our money management styles go together like oil and water, tribbles and Klingons, rhinestone-tipped manicures and vaginas. What I’m saying is, they’re totally incompatible……

You’ve heard of nanoseconds, right? How about DeAnne-o-seconds, because that’s how fast I’m freeing your flappers. You don’t call them flappers? Okay. It’s a good thing your kazonga cage is out of the way, then. We’ll have plenty of time to sensitively discuss how you’d like me to refer to your sweet, sweet sweater melons. Chimichangas? Quinoa cupcakes? Small batch bourbon bonbons? It’s up to you, baby.

I ALREADY KNOW THE FIERY FIRES OF LESBIAN HELL WANT TO ENVELOPE ME FOR THIS STANCE but fuck avocados. They are so unnecessary to your life. Guacamole is disgusting and RUINS 7 layer dip. It’s so bland and unworthy of attention that when it is on stuff, I’ll usually be like, “FINE. WHATEVER. LIVE YOUR LIFE AVOCADO.” because going through the trouble of scraping it off stuff bums me out more than its disappointing presence. The hatred that wells up in people when you say you don’t like avocados should only be reserved for when people say they don’t like bread, french fries, or cheese. Avocados are not on the level of bread, french fries, or cheese AND YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT, BROTHER. (I’m Hulk Hogan.)
