Lipstick's New Novel!

Hi lovely readers, Lipstick here. I wanted to make sure you all knew that my debut novel, JUKEBOX, will be available at bookstores on Monday (Nov 15th). I’ve been working on this little tome for many many years (I took the scenic route) and am thrilled that it’s finally come to fruition.  Do you like juicy girl-on-girl love scenes?  Are you in love with love?  Do you enjoy music?  If so, you’ll dig JUKEBOX. JUKEBOX is a heartbreaking love story about Harper and Grace, two privileged young women who fell in love against the odds. Soulmates from their first meeting at age 11, Harper and Grace know better than to fall in love. Yet they do. And are too much in love to care. But formidable forces control their lives: shame, fear and especially money....

Dipstick and the Butches

Dipstick and the Butches

I have a confession to make. Although I identify as butch, and even write a column with a strong emphasis on that identity, I don’t have many butch-identified friends. Well, that’s not entirely true, some of my closest friends from my music festivals are butch-identified, but they don’t happen to be in my day-to-day life. So, last year when I heard about the Butch Voices conference in Oakland, a part of me really wanted to go. But another part of me was nervous. What would it be like to be around that many butches? Sometimes I can get intimidated around all that butchness. Am I butch enough? What if they start assuming I know about car and home repair? Is my hair short enough, my boots black enough, my strap-on big enough?I couldn’t attend last year’s...

Ooooooh Ga Ga!

Ooooooh Ga Ga!

When I’m wearing my Lipstick hat (from the advice column Lipstick & Dipstick), I’m often dolling out spankings to hapless dykes who fall for heterosexual women. It just happened, they say. She doesn’t feel the same. I feel so connected to her. Tsk, tsk, I shake my finger. And now, here I am, head over heels for a straight chick. I know. I’m a hypocrite, but let me explain. The object of my misguided affection: Stefani Germanotta. Also known as Lady Gaga. Like the predicament our readers find themselves in, this woman doesn’t know my name, or even that I exist. But she does know how to make me dance, scream at the top of my lungs and turn me on (spiritually and intellectually, of course). My flame for her is new; it was sparked a few weeks ago when my...

Nun of Our Business

Nun of Our Business

 Sometimes after our column appears in the magazine, we hear back from the ladies we helped and they tell us if they took our advice or not, if it helped and how things are going. In this case, we heard from a sister of the cloth, who we met after speaking on a college campus. This amazing sister came and told us that she was coming out as a lesbian and was thinking of leaving her order because of it. Here is the original May 2010 column and the nun’s email to us later:  Dear Lipstick and Dipstick: I’m a 25-year-old woman who has dated women in the past. After dabbling in lesbianism, I decided to dedicate my life for God. Despite my best efforts, I still yearn for a woman’s touch and look at woman sexually. I think women are sexy, but I know they cannot get...
