About this deal

Sandra: Is Lana still dating a cop? I can’t think of anything more unsexy! Isn’t that fact less Lana than Lana? In general, I like “fallen” women. I think there’s something about femme fatales from noir films that are very attractive. Maybe it’s because they are constantly slapping men and screwing them over and it’s kind of funny and sad, and I like how they are diametrically opposed to the “good” housewives in these movies. They are the criminals. But I also agree that in these nostalgic worlds of reality and cinema, there are very few options for women. But we are writers and I think writers are able to disrupt these terrible binaries. I like this quote from Clarise Lispector. She says: I also felt that even though there were a wide range of body shapes depicted, there was surprisingly little discussion of fatness and queer fat activism. Prism Health is committed to offering safe, compassionate, and affirming primary and mental health care to all members of the LGBTQ+ community." Rachel: So I recently was able to interview Arielle Greenberg for the Poetry Foundation, who edited the Gurlesque anthology and coined the term. I asked her how the Gurlesque informed her own work, how she’s seen it seep into her own poems and she said it hasn’t.

It took me a while to read since some of the comics were very in-depth, and I felt like I needed time to digest them while I was reading, so I'd read a few and then put it down for a day or two. It was definitely cool to see so many different perspectives on what it's like to be a queer person, and also to have them united in the general message that, no matter the struggles and hardships that might be faced along the way, it's actually still pretty great! Some of the comics were short and funny, and I think the mix of more serious pieces with the shorter, lighter ones also helped make the whole thing more readable. For me, Elaine’s book goes into something more metaphysical than gender roles and compulsive heterosexuality, beyond bio-essentialism while still rooted in, as she puts it “Romeo & Juliet & Elaine.” Rachel : Yeah, we’re a post-Gurlesque period. And yeah, the “Gurlesque,” a term Arielle Greenberg coined in 1999, sitting in her kitchen (maybe she was in grad school then? She went on to work in academia) after noticing a trend in poetry by women but also in music, in film-making. As Sandra said, it was very white, it was also pretty hetero-centric, and I think, with many more traditionally “academic poets” in the anthology, there are maybe class dimensions that also went into the Gurlesque—that makes sense why it was a sort of “feminist” poetry that when it was about sex wasn’t about economics, maybe more about objectification. The problem though is feminists who have turned sex work into a metaphor, a metaphor about objectification: that’s why we’re still struggling for this to be seen as a labor issue for actual sex workers who are criminalized. Like: Every woman is expected or pressured in heterosexuality to do the labor that sex workers do, but not every woman is a sex worker.Just as every other new film with queer female representation, I Care A Lot was discussed intensely on the Internet following its release. Division was particularly strong over its ending. In the last two minutes of an otherwise enjoyable film, it seemed as though its two protagonists would receive a happy ending. As almost every queer person knows, happy endings to stories about us are incredibly rare, so much so that the “Bury Your Gays” theory has emerged in recent years to analyse the prevalence of this alarming trend. This June, Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn takes its LGBTQ+ Programming to the next level with the new "Be Gay, Do Crime" a series. It will focus on films about queer people who commit crimes as an act of resistance (and sometimes just for the fun of it!). Film to be screened include The Living End, Bound, Set It Off, Born in Flames, Bloodsisters, and D.E.B.S.,Dog Day Afternoon, My Own Private Idaho, Tangerine, a Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, Poison, and an Anniversary Screening of John Waters’ Desperate Living. Honestly, this was 50% a salt read, and 50% it looked pretty cool, and so I actually wanted to read it. They beat out Dates! (and a few others) for the Ignatz Award, and so I was mildly salty about it since I was a Dates! contributor 😒

While the oversaturated, bubblegum tones of Doug Emmet’s cinematography reflect the plastic superficiality of this sleek, anonymous, urbane world, the plot is in fact grounded in the horrifying reality of legal guardianship in the US. Blakeson’s aim is not a Ken Loach-style sweeping statement, however. Legal guardianship simply serves as the roots from which Marla’s evil flowers flourish. It is more a vaguely scathing commentary on American hypercapitalism than anything else, but Blakeson ensures that it’s nevertheless an entertaining one. The plot is exhilaratingly unpredictable, until the more generic second act takes a turn for the banal. Three days later, the Tumblr [2] account queergraffiti featured the photograph, which received more than 58,000 notes in three years. Adding this movie (because of the cigarette scene between Lupin and Jigen) but it pretty much applies to the entire franchise. I read the entire main cast as not heteronormative but by far Jigen Daisuke is the most queer-coded of the bunch. His frequently expressed disinterest in women and the fact that he canonically enjoys reading magazines filled with naked buff men would be the highlights I guess. Of course I am talking more than about Krystle Cole, I am talking about romance, which I am now trying to write poems about, my personal relationship to romance. And when it comes to that, I finally decided: I’d like to learn to be enraptured by my fear. It found that members of such communities, referred to as sexual and gender minorities, experienced a rate of 71.1 violent victimizations per 1,000 persons a year, compared with 19.2 per 1,000 a year among non-sexual and gender minorities.And we all relate to Lana, because we all feel that there are consequences for our romantic actions. But no one understands the trope of the “fallen woman” more than those outside the system. Sex workers I think have a special relationship to Lana because of the Fallen Woman trope. Even without talking criminality directly, because of the nature of the job, our personal and professional love lives remain spaces of risk and of melodrama. Sex workers are still living in the fallen woman paradigm. Sex workers, all criminals, trans people, queers. More Lana than Lana. Sandra : I think it’s definitely influenced by that tradition: “on the edge of girlhood/ a putrid blossoming.” Also, I see a lot of the Chelsey Minnis influence, the humor. But what I especially like about your book is that even though the language is kind of revolving in a talkative ether, it feels like the voice really comes out of lived experience. I guess what I mean is that the language doesn’t feel ornamental in a way that some of the original Gurlesque poems did. Crucially, it is not only on his former lover’s behalf that Farr resolves to act. Melodramas often rely on synecdoche, using a single victimized hero and villainous pursuer to represent larger social conflicts, but Victim foregoes synecdoche altogether. By representing London’s resilient yet precarious queer community, Dearden’s film makes it crystal clear that the “victims” designated by the film’s title are plural, and that the villain is, ultimately, the law itself. Nothing in the film suggests that Farr will leave the closet for the bar off Shaftesbury Avenue, but if his advocacy succeeds, then those barroom communities will be a little more stable, less prone to the impulses of suicide and self-exile which Barrett and Henry experience. For example, researchers found that such a population is much more likely to be victimized by someone they know well than a person who is a non-sexual and gender minority. Marla’s demise was not inconceivable, given her utter disregard for the people whose lives her greed destroyed, but it begs the question: why do so many (cis-het, white) male villains not only survive, but also often thrive after their misdeeds? What message does this send out to the thousands of queer women watching this film, hoping for a glimmer of representation and the happy endings that are by no means such a rarity in real life?

But that seeming availability of sex work is why all women, I think, feel free to speculate on sex work and that’s also why people get uncomfortable with sex work, because it reveals, though sex is supposed to be this unexplainable specter, it’s always also economic. Maybe it’s triggering for women because everyone does these calculations and it’s scary what you have to face within yourself. But like, what does reclaiming girlhood mean in a society made of class war that, as Tiqquin write, has become a “stranglehold of Spectacle over the public expression of desires, the biopolitical monopoly on all medical power knowledge, restraints placed on all deviance by an army better-equipped with psychiatrists, coaches, and other benevolent ‘facilitators’, the aesthetico-police booking of each individual according to his/her biological determinations, the ever more imperative and detailed surveillance of behavior…” ? After I read it, he immediately opened YouTube and found Krystle Cole, the infamous Krystle Cole! It was almost sacrilegious to me seeing her, but then she was as magical, as perfect as I could’ve imagined. There’s something about loving something so much that you want to leave it unconsumed. It’s that fear of exhausting your satiety. Fear of the edible. Of losing what you have.A survey of more than 12,000 LGBTQ teens around the country released in 2018 by the Human Rights Campaign found that 67% report they’ve heard family members make negative comments about LGBTQ people. Rachel : The Gurlesque anthology, at least the one I am looking at was released in 2010, and Arielle’s definition has me revisiting the semiotext(e) book Theory of the Young Girl, which was released in 2012. I actually read both of these books in 2012.
