Shoegirl - the blog: why I won't be supporting the Russian games boycott
http://www.shoegirl.org/2013/08/why-i-wont-be-supporting-russian-games.html
Shoegirl - the blog. Thursday, August 15, 2013. Why I won't be supporting the Russian games boycott. Folks, I'm as unhappy as anybody about what's going on in Russia, but not comfortable with a boycott of the games. I never had any plans to go anywhere near them so this doesn't impact Me either way. So please bear this in mind when supporting such campaigns. If somebody decides to work in, visit, perform or compete in Russia, this is matter for them too decide, not you or I.

Yet we routinely buy into a whole subculture of fashion, media and society simply on the grounds of this. We don't. What is wrong with us that we get angry about persistent displays of impossibly emaciated physiques but still want to consume their wares? Why do we simply not walk straight to the next store and buy there? To suggest this is oppressive would be to oversimplify the g...

Shoegirl - the blog. Sunday, August 05, 2012. 10 Films I love. In no particular order. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the desert. Dr Zhivago (David Lean's version). The Producers (1968 version). The list is interesting. I definitely have a penchant for the following:. Films from about 1965 to about 1985. Films set in Italy. Musicals and films about music. I definitely seem to shy away from the dominant US-based film set. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Maopost.com: Chinese Propaganda Posters.

Shoegirl - the blog. Monday, June 24, 2013. Dublin Pride spits at its own history in Fairview Park "Family Picnic". Fairview Park in those days had turned into a spot for gay guys to find each other for sex. Lets not beat about the bush. I'm neither going to condemn or justify it. But the fact remains that in a year where we try to rebember his untimely death by murder, its hardly appropriate to throw a family party on the same spot. Wednesday, June 19, 2013.

Shoegirl - the blog. Friday, June 29, 2012. Why Plan B is just wrong. I notice "Claiming Our Future" is now moving on to "plan B." Plan B, in case you haven't already heard it, is basically a rehash of plan A. I.e. hands off our fat cat public sector and semi-state/grant-aided salaries. Nothing to see here, move along now.

Shoegirl - the blog: The Absolut Hijack of Pride & the rise of the new queer conservatism

Shoegirl - the blog. Wednesday, June 19, 2013. The Absolut Hijack of Pride and the rise of the new queer conservatism. Recently, I was invited to put a few lines together about a kneejerk reaction from a veteran activist on the scene in reaction to a horribly sanitised video by a drinks company regarding pride. I put together a short piece, but though about it after watching the white, eurocentric. So what exactly is going on? Ni, but unfortunately it hasn't made it outside Luxembourg. Tree Hugging Extro...
