The arrogance of vloggers

There are only two things that I can't stand in this world: the first one is salted codfish, the second is arrogance. As for the codfish is concerned, I don't know the exact reason behind my repulsion, but I am quite positive that my hate towards arrogance comes from my being too arrogant. Experience has …

Once upon a time there was a gay cartoon

Children often imagine their future according to what they see on cartoons, interpreting their world through the screen of television, giving their own take to what happens around them according to facts –to them very real- that have happened –for real, of course- in this or that cartoon. This is why they are never going …

Lesbians behind bars

When I first heard the concept behind Orange is the new black, I have to say, I was not intrigued. That is because the idea of women in prison going at it for the audience’s viewing pleasure seemed just too much like a porn movie than anything else. After a couple of days after its …

Pretty routine, you might say, there are billions of videos like this on the …

Why I’m so obsessed with Cece Frey

Unlike most people, whose taste is consistent and specific, mine is all over the place. If I had to put in a basket everything I like, I'd get a crazy huddle of things where my many Passions wouldn't get on at all, would laugh at each other behind their backs or hit one another vigorously. …

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
