The results from a gaynz.com contest asking you to name your favourite Madonna song have some interesting results.  They’re counted back here . . . with a bit of music trivia and some videos for the top five, to boot (and a gratuitous girl on girl kiss pic).
10th equal. Frozen (1998) and Erotica (1992)

What a harrowing loss.  
Mahinarangi Tocker has passed away at North Shore Hospital this afternoon after having a massive asthma attack last week.  We are told she died peacefully.
The first time I saw her perform live was at the first-ever Big Gay Out I went to, when I was a sorta-straight girl seriously questioning my sexuality.  I can recall her standing […]

My big sister is getting married on Saturday, so this week saw the hen’s night.  I’m slightly scarred about hen’s nights since one quite a while ago where we had to put the name of the person we most desired into a hat and nobody quite understood how a woman’s name got in there.  Then the heavily pregnant bride gave a strange man […]

I have been pondering what fun could be had if we could create a Safe Sex Poster Girls competition.  Just think about it - publicity shots with hot girls modelling dental dams and surgical gloves.
According to the Aids Foundation; “HIV is almost unknown among women who identify as lesbian in New Zealand”.  Wouldn’t it to […]
