A Look Under the Hood

I’m not quite sure why, but the blond coldness and mechanical beauty of this image really speaks to me right now.  That, and I really like the shoes.

Sublimefemme Tells All, No. 26

Don’t hate me because I’m fiendishly clever.

Moment of Pleasure

This is image is a part of  Tom Wesselmann’s Bedroom Painting #38 — the face is so great I thought I’d share it with all of you.  I love that it draws the viewer in with a seductive keyhole glimpse into a private moment of pleasure and yet we don’t get to see the whole scene or even [...]

Femme Prof Seeks RA

There’s something about the start of the school year that makes me happy even when I have way too much work to do.  I must admit that this year Professor Sublimefemme is way behind schedule (thus the dearth of posts).  Seriously darlings I need a research assistant.  Any takers?  I define “research” broadly and I am very appreciative of [...]

The Cointreau Teese

I’m fiercely loyal in love and cocktails. 
OK, that’s a lie.  But don’t fret, my pretties.  My beloved Van has nothing to worry about; my indiscretions are strictly mixological. 
Since Manhattans are more of a fall/winter cocktail, when the weather warms up I always start thinking about new potions to add to my usual summer cocktail fare of gimlets and [...]

TGIF

I don’t know about you but it’s been a killer week here in The Land of Sublimefemmeness. To get our collective weekends off to a good start, here’s a little cherry cheesecake featuring Masuimi Max.

Sublime & Van on Vacay

There’s no place like home, but sometimes you just need to pack up and get the hell out!  Van and I have been working really hard lately so we’re leaving town for a much-needed getaway. 
Our destination is top secret, but here’s a hint.  If in the next few days you meet a fascinating femme who’s a dead ringer for Charlize Theron and her dapper Rachel Maddow look-a-like partner, [...]

Femme Pleasure and Strap-On Sex

I’ve sometimes felt that some butches are rather too… a-hem… narcissistically attached to their strap-ons.   If you can’t fuck without it, get out of my bed. 
Don’t get me wrong; I certainly don’t think strap-ons or dildos are heterosexist or antifeminist, and I’m not sitting around worrying that I have internalized heterosexist norms because I like sex with toys.  [...]

Don’t Bother to Knock

I try not to talk about my day job here on SF Unbound and, don’t worry, I don’t intend to start now.   But your favorite sublimely femme queer theorist is positively drowning in work, darlings.  My office looks like a disaster zone, which is why I’ve moved to a daybed like Marilyn.  I’m just taking a teensy break to wish you all [...]

To You, Wonderful Femmes

Dear grrlchef, sarcozona, Lady Brett Ashley, Skinny Bone Jones, the hostess, LaurynX and my other fantastic readers,  
To the wonderful femmes named, you have no idea how much I appreciate your encouraging comments on my last post, “Social Justice and Cute Shoes.”  It’s so fantastic for me to be able to convey the diversity and complexity of my interests and commitments–to convey [...]
