We were delighted to see Catherine Plato’s Lesbian Life entry at About.com this past month. You can read the whole piece here.
She selected the “Best Porn by and for Lesbians” and Fatale is there! Carolyn Caizzi’s steamy sweet vid Coming Home made the Top Ten, as did two S.I.R. titles and many other titles that are Fatale best sellers.
For Coming Home, which features four vignettes, Catherine wrote, “The first of this series of vignettes features a big, curvy butch-femme couple: the deliciously hot women we never get to see in mainstream porn.”
Why shouldn’t lesbian flicks show what we really look like? Real lesbians, with real lesbian lovemaking, allow us to see ourselves for who we really are. Okay, maybe the dykes onscreen are a little less inhibited than we are in everyday life, but that’s the great thing about who we are and what we do.
Check out the other titles mentioned in Catherine’s Lesbian Life column – Sugar High Glitter City, Annie Sprinkle’s Herstory of Porn, Hard Love and How to Fuck in High Heels and Shine Louise Houston’s excellent videos.
Yours in good love and sex,

Gender Queer
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008We received an interesting letter from a Fatale fan who asked, “Do you have DVDs that feature sex between gender-queers and/or butch women and queeny men?”
Gender queer is an interesting term that applies to transfolk, transmen, transwomen, queers, gender-benders, FTMs, MTFs and those who just plain don’t feel wedded to one gender. The appellation is usually self-determined and liberating.
We like gender queer movies and images because they’re a reflection of who we really are as a diverse, dynamic culture. Gender queer is descriptive without pinning you down to one “thing” or another. We can all be who we are without sacrificing a cultural or group identity.
When we first saw Barbara DeGenevieve’s video footage of the queers in Chicago when she was filming Full Load, we were blown away. Here were real dykes, real transfolk, real FTMs who weren’t afraid to bare it all. That takes guts.
Then along came Carolyn, who had worked with Barbara in Chicago and was striking out on her own with Turn Me Up Over and On, an amateur short with a sweet encounter between a femme and her boi.
Shine Louise Houston doesn’t hesitate to play with gender in the Crash Pad, the Crash Pad Series Volume 1 and especially in Wild Kingdom, one of our favorite porn flicks with a hot trans scene between Wil and Papi .
As for butches and queeny men, no queeny men, but hot sexy butches abound!
Yours in good love and sex,
