Solo Sundays - 4/28/13

MARGA GOMEZ
"Lovebirds"
* * * * *
Wilfredo's heart belongs to a singer with a tin ear who married a sleeping shrimp. Down the street at the lesbian bar a poorly dressed aspiring butch goes big and runs out of money. Polaroid Phyllis captures their victories and agonies. It's the seventies and every shot counts. Warning this piece may contain disco music. (work in progress)

GRAY
"Grandma Moses Wants to Tell You: Parables for a Surreal Age"
* * * * *
In this day and age of digital overwhelm, do you long for good old fashion storytelling? No? "Good. Babushka didn't want to telling of story anyway." Instead, she'll fill her belly with drink while she fills your brain with a dream-like mash-up of the romance, rats, bicycles, bleach, and a man who turns into a pile of sticks right before your very eyes. "Come closer. Listen, or you make Grandma cry."

JULIA JACKSON
"Worst. Boyfriend. Ever."
* * * * *
Can a bad boyfriend make you gay? No, just miserable. Beer drinking, shit talking, Camaro driving boyfriends are the skeletons in any good lesbian's closet. Or was it just me?
