Lesbians on the Loose: As I turn the pages of the latest issue of LOTL, I am confronted with such stories titled 'Lesbian is the new straight' and 'Bitches and Twits'. Suddenly I become somewhat adsorbed in the world of Lesbian style and culture. Full of interesting articles, reviews and photos. Dare I say, relative to my non-bi nor curious self.
On page 41, I find my favourite story 'Designer Vagina'. Writer Clare Edmonson describes the recent nip & tuck trend on the... fanny, gash, lady garden, pussy, vag or love box. It reminds me of a conversation I had last week with my German girlfriend, that there really is no polite or sexy way of describing lady parts without sounding crass or somewhat immature. Or as Clare writes, 'sounding like a brazened whore or a five year old confused about the birds and the bees'.
However... The photo shoot: On the infamous Byron train tracks, just east of the infamous (although rumored) Byron homeless commune we park Jess's infamous 1966 Shelby Mustang. Jess Bowen Settled in Byron in 2001 after achieving a very long list of things, including work with Vidal Sassoon in London and Toni & Guy in Sydney. She now runs a more personal experience at her very own Mudhoney boutique hair salon, you can find out more about the lovely Jess Bowen here. The second model for the shoot was little miss photogenic. Shaney Simpson. Another shoot to add to her steadily growing portfolio. The colourful Location, vintage costume, vibrant make up, very cool props and blue sky made for a pleasant trouble free day. Thumbs up to Flic Henderson for the enthusiasm and pointing out the exposed nipples -JH
