Woman on Woman on Content

Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear Book **Disclaimer: I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm not a book blogger. That particular job requires a lot more work and dedication to a specific media than I'm willing to do. So please, please, please, please direct review requests to the actual book bloggers, which is not me.** I'm a reader and I'll do what I call reviewing on the things I've read if they match the blog's stated purpose of guiding women who love women to content that matches that description, and Karen Memory fits! Full disclosure, I am into steampunk, and I am part of a prestigious steampunk writing lineage, so I do have some clout in the genre based on who I was trained by, but also a built in bias for the genre . While you're all in awe, or confused and wondering who taught me to write, I'm going to proceed to lavish a fair amount of praise on this book. The story follows Karen Memery (not a typo--the charact...

Below Her Mouth (2016)  Movie I'm not going to full on review or rate this movie since I didn't finish it. I guess that would make the rating:   As for why I didn't finish it...I don't like Ethan Zuko characters. If that name doesn't mean anything to you, that's okay, it shouldn't... yet .

They typically don't care about anything, but are super into telling everyone they don't care, they wear a lot of black (often the same clothes/underwear waaaaay too often), they'll have a ride that would be considered super cool by a 16-year-old boy trying to get his license, random tattoos of varying importance, a mop of hair th...

Imagine Me & You (#TBT) 2005   I'm going to admit my fangirl joy over this movie. I'll admit it's fluff, stars two gay-for-pay actresses, it's directed by a man, but I don't care, because it's classic romantic comedy in the Billy Wilder mold and that's something fun and enjoyable. Women are the primary consumers of romantic comedies so shouldn't there be great romantic comedies for women who like women? Or even mediocre ones? Does every movie have to push some envelope somewhere? To answer in order: hell yes!/ if we can't get the great ones / Michael Bay wouldn't have a job otherwise If you haven't seen the movie and don't want anything spoiled. Stop now, watch the trailer if you're not sold, and then go enjoy the film. Let's talk cast... The Ladies: Piper Perabo (Rachel) + Lena Headey (Luce)--this is really where all the magic happens. There's some other stuff with the parents and the friends and random ...
