A slight diversion: Jenny and Monica at the Pariah Screening

Monica organized the screening of Pariah through Sista2Sista in Oakland. And then we posed for this picture together while I was in the popcorn line. I'm laughing in the pic because Young Brat (#91) was taking our pic and had the camera down low, I said, "Never do a woman from below" to which Monica replied "That's the only way to do a woman!" (She made me post this conversation. Oy). :)

I knew Brenda was from the East Coast when I asked her if she identified as butch and she replied that she was a stud! Love it. And, yes, she's single.

#102 Fan in line for Pariah (a must-see movie, coming in Dec)

Tonight I went to see Pariah, invited by the highly enthralling Monica from Sista2Sista in Oakland. It was a special sneak preview of this film which opens in theaters to a wider distribution in December. What a film! Coming of age in a way you've not seen before. The story is familiar, the people make it more than the sum of its parts. Truly something. It will go down as one of my favorite movies ever.

And waiting in line wasn't half bad either!

#101 Kacy

From our first-time submitter, Moore, in Los Angeles, who has this to say:

"Tonight at the Writer's Guild in Los Angeles (at a reception after a panel on queer youth on TV), I spotted Kacy. I introduced myself, confirmed that she self-identifies as butch and found out that she's a screenwriter working on dark, sexy films. With butches, of course. :)

Congratulations Moore, for asking the question!
