Here ya go, ladies… Issue #5! And they said we wouldn’t last. This issue we are extremely proud to present Icelandic folk princess Ólöf Arnalds, who graces San Francisco with a three-show gig at the Swedish American Hall July 21-23. Björk’s got this gem under her wing: Arnalds’ music is magic wrapped in clouds and whispers… seriously. Check [...]
Things You’re Not Allowed to Say: “Zoophilia”
–By Emma Fulford “I watched this really fascinating documentary about zoophilia the other day. You should rent it. What’s that? Oh, bestiality, basically.” The above is my side of a few very brief conversations I recently had with friends/acquaintances in which I very innocently suggested that they rent the 2007 documentary “Zoo”. Yes, it is about that particularly yucky [...]
Ólöf Arnalds: “Innundir Skinni” visits San Francisco
–By Julia Dodge Ólöf Arnalds, with her extra terrestrial-pitch and soothing accoustic guitar, opens up a world of magic on her sophomore album, “Innundir Skinni.” If you’ve been feeling emotionally-stunted, computer-logged or crushed by the weight of the world, the Icelandic folk princess will make it all go away. Seriously. Like the ephierial and liberating sounds of Tori [...]

Filed under D.I.Y. Girl
–By Angie Froke This is not so much a step-by-step D.I.Y. as it is an “idea” project–there are just too many ways that you can take it. Simply purchase a clock mechanism at any craft store (retails $6.99) and an unfinished wooden box ($2.99). Drill a hole into the lid large enough to fit the [...]
10 Movies Chicks Need to See
–Julia Dodge In most films, women get their happy endings: the love of their life. While that’s a wonderful thing, and a part of life many of us strive for, there’s a lot more that spells “success” than a romantic ride into the sunset. Don’t get me wrong: there are LOTS of awesome films where [...]

Out of this World: Go Go Jane Wiedlin is ‘Lady Robotika’
–By Julia Dodge Most of us know Jane Wiedlin as the spunky, angel-voiced guitarist and songwriter from the legendary new wave girl group, the Go Go’s (“Our Lips are Sealed”, anyone?) Others may remember her as Joan of Arc in “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.” For me, Wiedlin will always be treasured in her memorable [...]

Emma Fulford: You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Hates You
“Actually, No… I Don’t Respect Your Religious Beliefs” You heard right. I don’t. Though I’m one hell of a fan of the First Amendment, and I do indeed defend your right to believe in such absurd and asinine concepts as creationism or Intelligent Design, magic glasses and golden tablets, the Rapture, the virgin birth, sacred [...]
