Happy Birthday to Nan

Saturday, May 2nd, 2015

Nan Kinney Feminist Porn Awards Trailblazer Recipient 2013

Today is Nan’s birthday! It’s a biggie, so we’re headed to one of Nan’s favorite places, Cannon Beach, Oregon, to celebrate. We leave on Monday and can’t wait!

It’s also Derby Day today, so before we even look at a suitcase, we’ll be muddling some mint leaves from the garden for a mint julep.

Tonight we’re headed to a romantic restaurant we’ve never been to before.

Romance for sure is in the air. Thank you for letting us share it with you.

Say happy birthday to Nan on Fatale’s page on Facebook! We want to make saying happy birthday a tradition.

You are welcome to follow us, FataleMedia, on Facebook or Pinterest or @FataleMedia on Twitter, where we’ll be posting pictures from the celebratory trip.

Till next time, yours in good love and sex,

Greetings from Nan and Christi

Friday, April 4th, 2014

April is finally a time we can relax. No holidays—until Passover and Easter—and, for us, not much travel. We had hoped to go to the Feminist Porn Conference and the Feminist Porn Awards in Toronto again this year, but alas it wasn’t meant to be.

Still, all this weekend, we’ll be following the Tweets coming from #FPCon2 and #SmartSmut.

We did get a chance to go to Key West last month to visit Christi’s parents and relax in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Nan in Fort Lauderdale 2014

Here’s a picture of Nan in Florida that we posted at Fatale’s Facebook page—come say hello and click like, if you like.

Our anniversary is next week, so we made plans to go to a lovely Japanese spa next Friday night. The private tub has a waterfall and a beautiful view. Afterwards, we’ve got reservations at a Japanese restaurant to round out the evening. We’ll take some pictures.

Yours in good love and sex,

#SmartSmut

Saturday, March 22nd, 2014

Are you ready for some #SmartSmut? This year’s Feminist Porn Awards ceremony, the 9th Annual, is ready to rock and roll your ideas of what porn is. Sponsored by the sex shop Good for Her, the event takes place on Friday, April 4th, at the Castlefield Event Theatre on Yonge Street in Toronto.

It’s not too late to score tickets and rub shoulders with your favorite porn stars.

The Feminist Porn Conference, organized by Tristan Taormino, is held at the University of Toronto, April 5-6, 2014. This is a knock  ’em out conference where sex meets ideas, and some of the smartest people in the industry talk, laugh and share their vision for the future.

Courtney Trouble

Courtney Trouble is giving the closing keynote, too. If you don’t know Courtney’s wide range of work, we recommend you start with recent films of hers, the award-winning Lesbian Curves and Hard Femme.

Check out last year’s FPCon weekend roundup, “Moments from FPCon,” a review of the conference and  more from the Feminist Porn Awards, when Nan was honored with the Trailblazer Award.

We’ll be there in spirit, hashtagging #FPCon2 and #SmartSmut!

Yours in good love and sex,

Nan on “Blue”

Friday, November 15th, 2013

 

Blue is the warmest color

Is blue the warmest color?

The New York Times solicited Nan Kinney’s opinion on just exactly what “real lesbian porn” is. “‘Blue’ Through Lesbian Eyes” ran last week in the Times’ style section.

We’re headed to see Blue Is the Warmest Color this weekend. Check it out!

And if you’re curious about Suburban Dykes, which Nan mentioned in the article, it’s classic, classy lesbian porn.

“Blue” Through Lesbian Eyes

Thursday, November 7th, 2013
Blue Is the Warmest Color

Adèle Exarchopoulos, left, and Léa Seydoux in the film “Blue Is the Warmest Color.”

The New York Times Style section has a great piece out today by Tim Teeman. “Blue, Through Lesbian Eyes” explores the notion of lesbian sex in the movie Blue Is the Warmest Color. What do lesbian filmmakers and lesbian pornographers think about how lesbian sex is portrayed on the screen?

Besides the filmmakers, Nan Kinney is quoted, along with Annie Sprinkle, AVN‘s Mark Kernes, Madison Young, Shine Louise Houston and Jiz Lee.

Kudos to writer Tim Teeman for his interesting, multifaceted article in which he’s unafraid to talk to lesbians about real lesbian sex!

Tim is the author of a brand-new exploration of Gore Vidal’s sex life called In Bed with Gore Vidal. We’re going to check it out!

 

Get a Room!

Saturday, November 2nd, 2013

Marije Janssen Get a Room

Get a Room! is a film series created by Marije Janssen that runs in Amsterdam and Utrecht, pretty much monthly. Later this month, she’ll be hosting an evening of feminist porn classics, including Fatale’s Clips. There are more details about the event at the Get a Room! Facebook page.

If you haven’t seen Clips, it’s a worthwhile blast into the classic past. Truly, the first time anyone had seen what Nan had on offer.

We had the pleasure of meeting Marije earlier this year at the Feminist Porn Conference in Toronto. During “Lesbo Retro: A Dyke Porn Retrospective,” Nan told Shar Rednour that the scene in Clips was indeed a first.

Marije says, “The Get a Room! series is a grassroots initiative, to create discussion, fun and awareness around sexuality, gender identity and sex-positive feminism.”

You can find and follow Marije and Get a Room! at www.twitter.com/vialuce.

Nan says of the Get a Room! event, “I only wish I could attend! I love Amsterdam. In the 1990s all of Fatale’s movies were screened at a GLBT film festival. The Fatale movies were shown at a public bathhouse, using mounted trampolines for screens. It was a screening/sex party. Fantastic! So, I have fond memories of Amsterdam.”

Yours in good love and sex,

Minnesota Makes Twelve

Friday, May 17th, 2013

Same sex marriage in the USA as of May 15 2013

We are heartened that marriage equality is gaining ground, with Minnesota being the 12th state to permit gays and lesbians to legally marry.

Nan is from Minnesota, as you may know, and we visit her mom and sister there on a relatively regular basis. Her mom is still riding high at almost 95 years old!

We salute those states where legal gay marriage exists.

We salute those who are working to ensure equality throughout the U.S.

Yours in good love and sex,

Toronto Porn Weekend

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

Tristan Taormino, Shar Rednour and Nan Kinney at #FPCon

We’ve been traveling the last couple of weeks, off to Toronto for the first annual Feminist Porn Conference, where Nan and Shar Rednour gave a great presentation on lesbian porn from the 1960s – 2000s, “Lesbo Retro: A Dyke Porn Retrospective.”

But best of all, Nan received the Trailblazer Award at the Feminist Porn Awards on Friday night!

We’ve posted some pictures and will post more.

For our friends who weren’t there or couldn’t make it this year, here are some completely subjective notes, and links to more resources. Don’t miss the piece in the Daily Beast.

The 8th annual Feminist Porn Awards were held on Friday night, April 5, 2013, at the Capitol Events Theatre in Toronto. Good for Her, the sponsors, put on a stellar show. There were performances by Coco La Crème, Lena Love and Axel Blows & Mahogany Storm. Friends from near and far were all in attendance, including Courtney Trouble, whose Lesbian Curves won Hottest Dyke Film.

The FPA Trailblazer Award given to Nan was a complete surprise! Shar Rednour presented it, and you should have seen the smile on Nan’s face!

To see the entire list of award-winners, check out Good for Her. Kudos to Good for Her diva Carlyle Jansen for a spectacular party.

For an excellent overview of the Toronto weekend, don’t miss the Daily Beast article by one of our favorite people, Rachel Kramer Bussel (www.rachelkramerbussel.com), “Organic, Fair Trade Porn: On the Hunt for Ethical Smut.”

For the weekend told in Tweets, check out Storify, a compilation by Tristan Taormino of #FPCon tweets that really does express the excitement of the weekend!

You know where we’ll be next year for the 2nd annual FPCon for sure!

Moments from FPCon

Saturday, April 13th, 2013

Kelly Shibarri at #FPCon 2013

 It was a pleasure to meet Kelly Shibari from Hot Movies for Her at the first annual Feminist Porn Conference in Toronto. She wrote a nice review of the conference.

Kevin Heffernan, Shar Rednour and Nan Kinney at #FPCon 2013

We were thrilled because she commandeered the churchy-like entryway of the University of Toronto building where the conference was held, nabbed SMU prof and friend Kevin Heffernan and corralled Shar Rednour and Nan Kinney to do an interview. We look forward to the video interview and will post a link as soon as it’s up.

More stories…and thanks to Tristan Taormino for the story of the conference #FPCon in Tweets at Storify.
