The lesbian classic Better Than Chocolate is now available for streaming from Netflix. It’s a great movie about a woman’s struggle with her orientation, identity, and family. Plus, Christina Cox is hella cute.

There’s a great project up on Kickstarter (a site for folks to get funding for their projects) by photographer Drea Zalaquett, whose goal is to create an art show featuring queer couples and families of all varieties. She’s got some great shots both on her web site and on the project updates page, and I’m really excited to see how the show comes together. It looks like the money will be used mainly for framing and lighting expenses. And if you pledge $5 or more, you get your own free signed print from the artist!

The way to any woman’s heart is through her car engine. Er, stomach. Whatever. Either way, you can woo your lady or save time during your commute by cooking with your car. Yes, with. Not in, or on, or near, but in fact by using the heat that your car produces from driving.
The key is to discover the temperatures of the various metal bits under your car’s hood, which you can do by poking around after a drive. Then, match these up with your usual recipes – the hotter parts of the engine perhaps for red meat, the cooler parts for fish or for slow-cooking recipes. And the final ingredient is aluminum foil. Lots of aluminum foil. Enough foil to wrap the hell out of your food, and then wrap it again, and then wrap it some more for fun, and finally wrap it to make sure it’s firmly wedged against the closed car hood.
Ok, so it’s not terribly practical. But it would certainly be fun to try on a road trip, and imagine showing up to work every morning and taking out some freshly cooked bacon and toast.

I haven’t posted any accessories in a while, but I really like this hand-carved leather wristband. The tan is light enough to go with summer clothes, and it’s got a touch of western flair.

I found a Yelp list of the best (2) stores in Washington DC to find clothing for butch women. I’d love to hear more about good local places to find fun, stylish, well-fitting clothing. Unfortunately, it’s Walmart or the internet for me, so I’m going to have to rely on you for it! So where do you shop for clothes in your neighborhood?
