About Me
I am a fierce, fat, queer femme living in the charming city of Minneapolis, MN, though my roots remain firmly planted back East in the Garden State where I was born and raised. I'm a fourth year Ph.D. student in gender studies focusing on feminist and queer theories and their intersections with new media and fat studies. When I'm not working on my dissertation research on the neo-burlesque movement, I keep busy as the editor of the forthcoming first fat, queer anthology, Spilling Over. I'm passionate about opportunities that promise to merge my academic dreams with my activist heart. In my spare time, I enjoy causing queer upheaval with my femme sisters and allies in the Twin Cities chapter of the Femme Mafia, teaching butches how to slow dance, and attending cake decorating workshops with Midwestern soccer moms. I'm an avid fan of Fig Newtons, yard sales, big hair, wooing, and fan mail. I blog at my own personal blog Femme FATale and at The Femme's Guide to Absolutely Everything.

Another toy from Emotional Bliss, the Womolia, like the Isis, is made of really good quality materials. There’s weight to it, substance, and a suggestion that perhaps orgasms will be possible with such a vibrator. Womolia is [...]
fail: jerry lewis.
i’ve been writing a post for the past 3 days, on and off, trying to articulate what i’m feeling these days about the overall reception/treatment of femmes in some parts of the queer community and trussing it to some experiences of my own lately that have left me feeling pretty raw and dissatisfied. i’m hoping [...]
Babeland Review: Orchid G
I was snowed in at a hotel on the southern coast of Maine when I said I’d review the Orchid G. Maybe the problem was that I responded to the Babeland “Products to Review” email on my iPhone that I had a different impression of what this particular toy would be. On my phone’s small [...]
Babeland Review: Emotional Bliss’ Isis
This is the first product I’m reviewing for Babeland and I feared, a true perfectionist, that I wouldn’t know what to write or what to say as I cast my sex-toy- review virginity out the window. Luckily, there’s a lot to say about the Isis, even if it may well be the smallest vibrator you’ve [...]
