I see myself being like Staceyann when I finish growing up, or at least by the time I reach the point she has. I discovered (in the Columbus sense on youtube) this online lesbian talk show called “She Said What?” tonight; it was like the indie lesbian version of The View (although it was produced by logoonline.com). I think the main factor that kept me watching (all of the 7-9 minute shows I could find) was Staceyann Chin being one of the four hosts. Though the show can be a bit air-headed and surface-laden with chats about The L Word and the latest gay celeb gossip, it features quality celebrity lesbian guests and Staceyann keeps the whole ordeal grounded with her sharp, truth-spitting tongue. Courageous tongue.
I need to write poetry.
and sleep eludes me again.
I was also watching this documentary about genderqueer Black women called The Aggressives. It really made me want to hurry up and move to New York, today. Director Daniel Peddle followed five Aggressive-identified, young, black lesbians around New York for five years and produced an astonishingly honest and candid look into an aspect of American culture that is rarely explored publicly. I fell in love with the characters, especially the olive skinned Latina Kisha Batista. She was the most feminine of all the AGs, and she was the only one of the five who was making any significant amount of money. At the time of the taping, she was breaking into the modeling industry. I didn’t too much dig the fronts she rocked in the documentary, but Kisha has grown up a bit these days.

Such a cutie.
That is all.
