w4w is 4w, not couples!

Remember slowlovin? I replied to her ad about a week ago? Well, we had a few more exchanges then a small period of radio silence. Imagine my surprise when I received this from her today...

Things have changed a bit for me. I am now part of a new couple actively seeking a submissive bi-sexual female to unite in a poly household. We are not looking for casual sex partners, we are serious about finding someone to build a long-term relationship with...

Stranger than fiction.

Hmmm ... I was honestly looking to sell some furniture when I stumbled into the women seeking women section of craigslist. Funny how the mind and fingers wander sometimes. Anyway, I saw this ad:

Hey women for women,

I am looking to meet a cool woman to hang out with. Acknowledge the spark but take it chill at the beginning then. Slowly build into a relationship. I like to take things long and languid ;-*

I'm not into threesomes or whatever but good luck to those who are. Just don't message me, please.

Thanks!
slowlovin

And responded ...

I saw your ad on craigslist and you sound like my cup of tea. I am a 36 year old lesbian from Montreal ...

you know the rest :)

Ye olde network

Hey!

Yesterday, I went to the Pomme Pomme Fair at La Sala Rosa (I should seriously think about buying something closer to that venue - I have been there many many times over the last couple of weeks.) The performance space was transformed into a market consisting of a lovely little collection of cool crafts, hot zines, more than a few pins and tastey food including vegan truffles. Not queer per se, but fun and open and a great place to have found out about the following party in the Hen (St. Henri).

It's Raining Dykes Party, fête de lancement,
Date: Friday July 18 2008
Time: 8 pm to 3 am
Location: Ste. Emilie SkillShare (3942 Ste. Emilie)
Metro Place St. Henri

Knock Me Down, please!

A hot man in a sexy white and black dress, black leather high heeled boots MC ing hot women in fishnets racing around in order to knock each other and any beeramids in there way down while tattooed fans in neon cheered and hissed vociferously? Could it be anything but a Montreal Roller Derby hosted by Plastik Patrik?

If you were attempting to finish off your novel at the cagibi last night, I don't need to tell you that the Montreal Skidz on the Block beat Hamilton's Hammer City. That is unless you were wondering why so many neon clad people were congregated outside just after ten. Well, they were outside until someone stole a bottle of booze, took over the music and kicked off a shooter/ table top dancing party in the little cafe you had been looking for a muse in.

in the shallows

So ... what do you do when the online someone you have been exchanging increasingly intimate emails then chats with finally sends you their photo and the photo is not great. In fact, the photo is so not flattering it illicits a, "That is their best photo?" response. Is it appropriate to already be planning someone's makeover before the first face to face physical date? Probably not. However, I do feel that it would be completely shallow of me to all of a sudden break off contact and current date plans.

Maybe I can hang onto the hope that she sends a bad photo of herself to weed out the shallow people from her online potentials? Either way, I'm going in. Cover me!

Wowzers!

I returned to the Sala Rosa last night, love that venue!, for the July Meow Mix featuring Animal Crackers Eccentric Dancers from New York City!.

The show was beyond anything I had seen before. Tits and ass barely covers it, if you don't mind my cunning punning. The absolute highlight was Miss Saturn's Hula hooping. A close second was her Private Dancer cover during which the bikini clad Miss Saturn stated "I don't shave" while lying down with legs akimbo center stage to prove said point.

The only thing that wasn't as superb as other Meow Mixes was the post show DJing. Sometimes it sounded like an iPod on Shuffle. Without the "fade into next song" setting activated.

Next Meow Mix
Date: Sunday August 3rd 2008
Location: La Sala Rosa (4848 St-Laurent, Montreal, QC)
Doors at 9:30, show at 10:30, DJ at 11:30

Fun and Games

Last night the Montreal based Lickety Split Smut Zine launched it's sixth issue, The Risk Issue, at La Sala Rosa on St. Laurent Blvd. The party was a blast! The Dead Doll Dancers were there to stir things up with their Kama Sutra game and Penelope Percacet's hot solo, there were games e.g. Twister, strip poker, spin the bottle ... and delightful live music. Oh, and the photo booth where you could enjoy the company of a friend and get photographed while doing so.

So, um, the spin the bottle table was hot. At the begining of the night, even after the delicious Dead Doll Dancer Cammy Mudflaps and the dapper Ian Poe Kerr were seen to exchange a tongue or two, the table was easy to approach. However, by midnight the large group of wouldst be kissers anxiously waiting for the bottle to give them a turn slowly took over the left side of the room. Resistance really is futile, I guess, as Lickety Splitters enjoying the show from vantage points near the table were slowly absorbed into the kissing circle without a struggle. The Photo Booth was getting some direct traffic from the Spin the Bottle Table, as well. Very hot and lovely to see everyone getting along so salaciously.

Next Lickety Split zine theme ... unknown. Next Launch party ... sometime this fall. Keep an eye on their blog.

Will definitely be at the spin the bottle table next time, too.
