Quantcast

A Poem for You

UPTICK

We were sitting there, and
I made a joke about how
it doesn’t dovetail: time,
one minute running out
faster than the one in front
it catches up to.
That way, I said,
there can be no waste.
Waste is virtually eliminated.

To come back for a few hours to
the present subject, a painting,
looking like it was seen,
half turning around, slightly apprehensive,
but it has to pay attention
to what’s up ahead: a vision.
Therefore poetry dissolves in
brilliant moisture and reads us
to us.
A faint notion. Too many words,
but precious.

- John Ashbery

    In Which It's Not Gay Unless The Boobs Touch

    Lesbian Chics

    by Molly Lambert

    Just because The L Word is over doesn't mean you're at a loss for hot same-sex television pairings. Forget the endless seduction wankfest that is Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf, it's all about the tender loving care made manifest by Blair and Serena.

    OMG CUTEFEST ON THE MET STEPS, AND NO BOYZ!!!

    In the wake of so many bromosocial movies and sitcoms and fan-fiction about threesomes between Obama, Joe Biden, and Rahm Emmanuel, we have no choice but to champion an alternative sisterly kind of love. A deep feminine bond.

    If you're in the dark about "shipping" and what it means for a Big Love fan to "ship" Barb and Margene, you can learn up at Fan Secrets. Unless you'd rather just not know about the dark underbelly of the internet. It's a strange and deviant world.

    Blair: "sorry Chuck. I love you but I've chosen dykeness."

    Kanye And The Real Girl

    In a time when the economy is crumbling and heterosexual relationships are fraught with violence, who can be blamed for taking safe refuge in the (beautiful in totally different ways) bosoms of rich and fashionable fictional socialites.

    Kanye's girl got a (ex) girlfriend

    Pretty sure Amber Rose's ex girl could take Kanye in a fight.

    Perpetual belle of twitter John Mayer has a man-boner for Kanye, likes sex and he's good at it.

    Beyonce and Bey-Z, the ultimate in being a diva

    Keri Hilson and a still mulleted Kanye reenact the androgynous Andrew McCarthy and Ally Sheedy sex scene from St. Elmo's Fire which we wrote about recently.

    Kelly Clarkson's new single "I Do Not Hook Up" is about eschewing casual sex in favor of a longer lasting emotional connection. It was written by Katy Perry, of last year's bisexual crossover hit "I Kissed A Girl."

    Which begs the question, can you be a bisexually curious prude? What does that entail? Lots and lots of scissoring? Third wave feminism is red pandas.

    I'm a ninth wave feminist. What does that mean? You'll find out when you get here. Get on my level, womyn.

    Other Gay Couples We Like:

    Steve Buscemi and Paul Rudd (kute!!!)

    Back in the dull heteronormative world, Emily Gould convinced me to resurrect my short-lived but remarkably successful (thank u Ed Westwick fans!) ladyporn venture Mrs. Skin, now with her contributions. So if you are a straight girl or gay dude or bisexual octopus person come check out our gallery of hot menfolk. Occasionally NSFW.

    I love you Molly! Why do you deny the sweet love we could be making? Wanna come over this weekend and watch/re-enact "pump up the volume"? I'll let you play Nora.
    Toodles!
