Every year in the spring, thousands of internet and filmmaking rock stars (and rock-star-rock-stars) gather in Austin, Texas for South by Southwest, the interactive, film, and music conference that originally began as a music festival in the late 80s. Today it’s a big deal, bringing the biggest names in the industry together with everyday people in a mixing of the minds, a delicious burrito full of culture and fun.
And we’re in the thick of it. My gal pal Trish Bendix and I are moderating “Engaging The Queer Community” an in-depth discussion with Bil Browning and Sinclair Sexsmith on how to make your blogs, twitters, podcasts and youtube videos fabulous.
We’re sifting through the issues of blogging from a queer identity or perspective. How do you get people interested and chatting you up without turning them into an angry mob? What about being in the closet as a blogger? How do you keep your site from being banned when you write about all that hot dirty sex you’ve been having?
How is new media changing how we push politicians and society forward towards embracing our rights?
As a way to say thanks to all the fabulous people who live in Texas, we’re throwing a party on Sunday, March 14 at 9pm at Oil Can Harry’s -the- oldest gay bar with the cutest guys and gals.
Come meet me (Fausto Fernós), Marc Felion, Trish Bendix (After Ellen), Sinclair Sexsmith (Sugarbutch Chronicles), Bil Browning (Bilerico Project) and dozens of other fab internet rock stars knocking down the drinks and having a great time.
Bring a camera and your iPhone, these things usually get wild.

Tim Miller’s “Lay of the Land”
March 15, 2010-March 21, 2010
“Tim MIller’s Lay of the Land” is Tim Miller’s saucy, sharp-knifed look at the State of the Queer Union during a time of trial! Careening from his sexy misadventures performing in 45 States, to Marriage Equality street protests, to the electoral assaults on queer people all over the country, to his life as a grade-school flag monitor, to choking on cheap meat caught in his 10 year old gay boy’s throat, LAY OF THE LAND friskily gets at that feeling of gay folks being perpetually on trial, on the ballot, and on the menu! “Tim MIller’s Lay of the Land” is a “lay” in all kinds of ways: a sex-assignation, a queer citizenship map, and of course a narrative ballad with a recurrent refrain! (Miller’s favorite way-down-the-list definition for “lay”!)
Here’s a video “Tim Miller’s Lay of the Land”
Holly Hughes’ “The Dog and Pony Show (Bring Your Own Pony)”
March 18, 2010-March 21, 2010
Autobiography, animal behavior, and bald-faced lies create this poetic meditation on midlife crisis in the key of canine. After years as a self described “professional homosexual,” our heroine gives up preaching to the perverted and pestering the religious right. She takes a real job at a prestigious university, acquires a small pack of dogs, and discovers that as we age, the thin membrane that divides the animal from the human dissolves entirely.

This is a link to This American Life and explains in 1973, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) declared that homosexuality was not a disease simply by changing the 81-word definition of sexual deviance in its own reference manual. It was a change that attracted a lot of attention at the time, but the story of what led up to that change is one that we hear today, from reporter Alix Spiegel. Part one of Alix’s story details the activities of a closeted group of gay psychiatrists within the APA who met in secret and called themselves the GAYPA … and another, even more secret group of gay psychiatrists among the political echelons of the APA. Alix’s own grandfather was among these psychiatrists, and the president-elect of the APA at the time of the change.
i love these .gifs from Showgirls and i think i have them in chronological order, no?

On today’s podcast with Peaches Christ we talked about our all time favorite films featuring women behaving badly. What are some of your favorite films featuring hard women?
We probably missed your favorite film, so please let us know what your favorite film in this genre is.
Buy it on Amazon: Mommie Dearest [1981] (Hollywood Royalty/Special Collector’s Edition)
The face that launched a thousand drag queens. Who can forget Faye Dunaway’s unforgettable portrayal of Joan Crawford? Here is a video clip from 2007 featuring drag queen Lypsinka, John Waters and others talking about the film.
Get it on Amazon: What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
Hag warfare. A great psychological thriller, black comedy, and over-the-top camp classic is this great trashy melodrama. The best part of this movie is that in real life, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford hated each other.
Get it on Amazon: The Craft
Four teenagers deal in witchcraft and it changes their friendship as some go to the dark side
Get it on Amazon: Friday the 13th
SPOILER: If you didn’t know, mommy did it!
Get it on Amazon: Hellraiser
Chinese puzzle boxes are hard to solve and this guy’s wife is a real bitch. How bitchy? She becomes Queen of Hell.
Get it on Amazon: I Spit On Your Grave
Don’t mind the rape so much but don’t mess with a feminist’s manuscript in the early 70s, she’ll cut your dick off!
Get it on Amazon: Lair of the White Worm
Lady Sylvia is some high priestess, and the worm, maahrvelous!
Get it on Amazon: Misery
Kathy Bates plays the ultimate stalker, kidnapper, caretaker, hobbler. Her insane performance won her an Oscar. This scene where she smashes his feet always freaks me out. Warning! Will give you nightmares.
Get it on Amazon: The Bride Wore Black
French film that gets very creative in ways to off evil men.
Get it on Amazon: Fatal Attraction
Remember how serious people took this film when it came out? Watch it again now and tell us what you think.
Get it on Amazon: Black Mama, White Mama
It’s billed as “Chicks in Chains” starring Pam Grier. Need we say more?
Get it on Amazon: Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
Russ Meyer’s classic film with wonderful 60s makeup, hunks, fast cars and fast women.
Get it on Amazon: To Die For
Nicole Kidman kills.
The Girl Most Likely To…
It was made for TV but we love it anyway since the fat girl in high school gets revenge.
Get it on Amazon: Kill Bill – Volumes One & Two
Bill really had it coming.
Get it on Amazon: Monster
The real crime? Christina Richie’s massive forehead.
Get it on Amazon: Aliens
Two females that don’t take any crap battle to death.
Get it on Amazon: Showgirls
Did you really think we’d forget this one? It seems we quote this movie in just about every show we do. This is the film that taught us all to be careful on the stairs darlin’.
Whether it’s suspense, cult, horror, true stories or pure camp everyone loves to watch women behaving badly in films. Women with murder, revenge, or ambition on their mind are an essential element to some of our favorite movies.
Listen as we chat with Peaches Christ about some of our favorite films were dames go bad and which of these films, if any, inspired the villainess of her new movie “All About Evil.”
In a world where women are often seen as nice, these ladies broke all the rules and showed us just how bad they could be.
Whether it’s suspense, cult, horror, true stories or pure camp everyone loves to watch women behaving badly in films.
Murder, revenge, jealousy, they’re all an essential element to some of our favorite movies. So why are we so attracted to them?
Today San Francisco movie expert Peaches Christ joins us to take a look at some of our favorite hard women in film. From Blanche and Baby Jane to Nomi and Cristal Connors we’ve got some hot ladies for you!
Peaches spent last year working on her directorial debut film “All About Evil” which she also wrote about a mousy librarian who discovers her inner serial killer to save the family business- a failing movie house. It stars Thomas Dekker and Natasha Lyonne with Mink Stole and Elivra out of drag, Cassandra Peterson.
Listen as we chat with Peaches Christ about some of our favorite films were dames go bad and which of these films, if any, inspired the villianess of her new movie.
