The Darkness

September 12, 2012
The Darkness

  “Get your hands off my woman Mother F*ucker!”Justin’s trill falsetto voice filled the Brixton Academy as embroidered flames licked up his sinewy rock star frame and exploded in the crotch of his white jumpsuit. A really expensive lighting rig haloed his hair, long and limp with sweat.  It was the stuff  1970’s album covers were made of, only it was real. There standing before me was my dream man. A man,...

Rum, Sodomy and the Lash

Rum, Sodomy and the Lash

I recently had the privilege of being part of the Wellington on a Plate Imbibe Pecha Kucha night. I ummed and ahhhed about what to do my talk on and in the end I chose to talk about Rum, Sodomy and the Lash. Here is a link to it. You will be my amazing by new Gorman dress. Phantom pink Zebras a go go!     Former Real Hot...

Respect Bitches.

Respect Bitches.

Back when we started the Real Hot Bitches we didn’t set out to be overly feminist or political. Our policy was to leave no dance stone unturned and to be an open access dance troupe. The Melbourne Real Hot Bitches troupe have done me proud. This article focuses on the fact that clothes don’t cause rape, rapist do. As the mistress of the RHB’s and as a feminist, I...

Mrs Blacksmith’s Guide to Losing the Lard.

Mrs Blacksmith’s Guide to Losing the Lard.

“Oxo cube”, “barrel of lard’, “fatty boomsticks’ terms of endearment, pet names if you will, names, that if you grew up in or near the Meyer household you will have heard. Neither I nor my sisters were literal translations of these monikers but,  recently I’ve had conversations with friends about the horror of the  middle age spread so I’ve put together my ‘pull no punches’ approaching lard loss. If...

13. Mrs Hempel: Farewell to New York

Thursday June 21 2012 Brooklyn,  NYC The temperature hit the high ‘90s in New York today, with records set across the Tri-State Area and for Central Park in particular, and health authorities issuing warnings for society’s most vulnerable members: babies, the elderly, the 8 million dogs in the city and pet snakes. (If you’re worried, take your snake outside and pour bottled water on it, and under no circumstances...

6. Mrs Hempel: The street style shark jump

Sunday June 3 2012 Brooklyn,  NYC Disclaimer! Disclaimer! I’m iffy about ‘street style’.* It was 12 months ago that I started to hate Scott Schuman and his seminal website The Sartorialist. (Toooo seminal, that site, and not enough ‘ovular’, as my excellent feminist friend Smitty would have it.) It had something to do with the shark-jumpy, insider vanity of his self-portraits, model portraits and girlfriend portraits; something squirmily 90s-minded...

Nothing but a good time

Nothing but a good time

Fellow retired Real Hot Bitch and younger sister, Charlotte Meyer reviews Rock of Ages. Nothing but a good time Last Sunday, on my way to brunch, I bought a pair of electric blue, snakeskin print, skinny jeans. They are amazing. They make me feel like a rock star. I took them home, hung them in my wardrobe and spent the rest of the week wishing I had a rock’n'roll lifestyle...

Guest Blogger, Mary Parker: The Day of Dupree

  See that girl on the left? That girl with the lovely turn out and an ecstatic look on her face? That girl with long slender limbs? That’s me. Unbelievable when I look at it now. Since you are no doubt interested I will tell you I am wearing hot pink ¾ length lycra tights and a matching pink lycra leotard with tiny blue raised dots. To make the...

Go Go Feminism.

Go Go Feminism.

Guest Blogger:  Devon Smith draws feminism. I have always been a feminist. Assuming you consider playing with the same dump trucks your older brother did an act of feminism, which  I certainly do. Later, of course, there would be ponies and the ever-horrific barbie doll but, that was my choice as a (tiny) woman so I don’t think that reflects at all poorly on me. When I was 18...

Hoop La

June 6, 2012

Is your jaw on the floor? She is 64, insanely hot, an inspiration to bitches everywhere, is wearing the most covetous of leotards EVA and hula hoops for 4 minutes WHILE singing. Ask yourself; what have you done today? Grace, I am a slave to your rhythm .
