Hey gorgeous! I was at a talk by Del Lagrace Volcano last night in Glasgow, and there you were -- in full colour and looking fine --on the screen as part of the Femmes of Power presentation. I actually shouted out "Leah!" in a room of 30 people, which was vaguely embarrassing but oh well. Holy do I miss you.

how many times a day are f'n harassed, accosted or just annoyed because of some ignorant *$&%off who wants to tell you how nice your ass looks, how much of a dyke you look like, ask if you're a boy, yell his number to you, follow you, touch you, stare at you, not give you a job less you give up some head, or just not give you a job, pull you over in your car/on your bike for no reason, kick you out of the club etc

FemmeCast: The Queer Fa…Femme Cast

Jan 28, 2009 6:00 PM

"Asking for help takes its own strength and bravery.
"--Genne, Epsiode 7 of FemmeCast

Asking for help is a skill--how do we learn it?

Episode 7: Asking for Help. Running time: 69 minutes.


In this episode host Bevin Branlandingham and FemmeCast contributors discuss their strategies for learning to push past the Steel Magnolias facade and receive help.

www. Femme-Cast. com

We debut our newest contributor, our Femme Shark Correspondent Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha!
"You can be a mess and still be a powerful Femme. We're not going to cut down one another when we're vulnerable.
"

Self-Help Correspondent Genne discusses being the partner of someone with a bad drug addiction and how that taught her the importance of asking for help.


We debut the Femmes of Color Roundtable series, moderated by Fatshion and Beauty Correspondent, Tara Shuai.

"My experience of how my race, my fat and my femmeness intersect is that I think that people don't expect fat East Asians. I feel like a bodily contradiction, simultaneously desexualized and hypersexualized.
"

Bevin interviews Jenny Lowery, aka Pidgeon Von Tramp, Queer Fat Femme Burlesque performer with the Von Foxies of Seattle, writer and founding board member of the Bent Writing Institute.


FemmeCast: The Queer Fat Femme Podcast Guide to Life is a FREE audio newsmagazine for Queer Fat Femmes, Fatshionistas of all sexualities and Queers of all genders. Hosted by Bevin Branlandingham with a cadre of regular contributors, we're discussing dating, fat fashion, social justice, friendships, sex, gender, tranny talk, culture, travel, community and feature new music by Queer artists. A whimsical This American Life meets a radical queer how-to novel with MTV generation timing, FemmeCast will keep listeners laughing, connected and inspired.
