When Ledcat and Sue Met Waxie Moon: A Review

Waxie Moon

This weekend, Ledcat and I watched Waxie Moon in Fallen Jewel. We had not previously heard of Waxie Moon, who is a self-styled ‘international gender-blending queer lady boylesque performance-art stripping sensation.’ Waxie had previously been featured in a documentary about the mostly queer neo-burlesque community in Seattle. This second movie is more plot driven, exploring […]

GIVEAWAY: New Kelly Clarkson Album ‘Piece By Piece’

I’ve always liked Kelly Clarkson – I like her power ballad songs, her true-story lyrics and I like that she doesn’t capitulate to Hollywood standards of body image. I thought her recent television special was sweet. I don’t really like this album cover, but I like the music. Clarkson is the singer we should support. […]

Enter For a Chance To Win an Annie Prize Pack

Annie Movie Poster

I loved the 1982 film version of Annie – I was 11 years old and watched it dozens of times when it hit cable. It was so romantic to a preteen in the way that singing orphans in a Depression Era setting can only be. I was enchanted by the old-timeyness of it, the songs, […]
