May, 1991: Close to Bessie Street was a dilapadated grand movie theater, called “The York,”on 24th Street, which had seen better days. Nan Kinney, Honey, and I went over early one morning while they were cleaning up and asked the dyke ticket-taker if we could shoot there… and if she’d like to play the “voyeur” for a story we were illustrating.

Merry Christmas!
Nan and Christi are in Santa Fe this Christmas, and as is the tradition here, we will walk tonight, Christmas Eve, and admire the farolitos (elsewhere these are called luminarias, lumieres and various other names) that line the streets of Santa Fe’s east side.
There is snow on the ground and it’s still snowing off and on. Cold. Tonight the forecast calls for 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 degrees Celsius). Brr.
Friends are coming for Christmas dinner, and we’ll cook up a storm, the cookies having already been made.
We talked this morning about the free shipping Fatale has been offering, and lots of people have taken advantage of the special offer. So we’ve decided to extend the free shipping through New Year’s, and half-price shipping outside the U.S. It’s a good deal! So if you find yourself needing a special present–for you or someone special in your life–you’ll get a good deal from us at Fatale.
On that happy note, we say to you:
Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
May 2010 bring you health, wealth, wisdom and all the sex your heart desires.
Yours in peace,
Nan and Christi

As you may or may not know, Nan had surgery last month, and she’s recuperating just fine. She had her foot operated on just exactly a month ago, and this week she took her first long walk sans cane or crutches. Yippee!
We went to Washington, D.C., to see Christi’s sister and her wife. What a fabulous party! Even though Nan couldn’t dance, there was plenty of dancing. Christi’s aunt “chair-danced” with Nan, and a good time was had by all.
New lesbian DVDs are on their way to Fatale. We expect them to be available by November 15th. So stay tuned. As soon as they’re in stock, you’ll know.
Meanwhile, if you haven’t see Courtney Trouble’s Roulette and Nostalgia, check them out.
Roulette is a mix of scenes that range from an opening scene lovemaking between a real-life lesbian couple to a music video by Emilie Jouvet to the wee hours milk binge.
Nostalgia gives a nod to the late Marilyn Chambers, and Courtney Trouble’s tongue-in-cheek humor comes through in this queer parody. There are trailers on both these pages too.
And when you buy Roulette and Nostalgia together and you’ll save 15%. The pair makes a good gift.
Yours in good love and sex,
Nan & Christi

P.S. Buy any three DVDs at Fatale, you get free shipping in the U.S. We ship worldwide, and remember, we offer complimentary gift-wrapping and gift cards too. See all Fatale’s DVDs.
We were thrilled to have Deborah Sundahl, creator of How to Female Ejaculate: Find Your G-Spot and Female Ejaculation for Couples, come to visit yesterday, one stop on her female ejaculation tour as she prepares to head off to Canada and Europe later in the month.
Deborah is also the female ejaculation expert who writes the “Ask Fanny Fatale” Q&A column for this blog.
Nan and Deb sat out in the garden for while, then came back for a dinner of baked pasta and mozzarella before Deb headed off to her lecture on female ejaculation at the local sex shop.
We found these pictures of Nan and Deb taking a hike up in the mountains, from earlier this summer when we last saw Deb.
This weekend, Deborah is off to Austin, Texas, for more female ejaculation workshops, then she plans to return for another few days’ visit come Monday. We’re happy to have her here!
If you have a question for Ask Fanny about the G-spot or female ejaculation, send it to askfanny at fatalemedia.com and put “Ask Fanny question” in the subject line.
To see the latest Deborah Sundahl’s latest DVD about female ejaculation, check out Female Ejaculation: The Workshop.
The lovely Shar Rednour came to visit on Wednesday and is leaving today, but we thought we’d show you some photos. She and Nan are shooting more Bend Over Boyfriend footage.

Susie Bright’s Tribute

Imagine our surprise to learn that Honey Lee Cottrell was being evicted from the apartment she’s had since the early days of On Our Backs.
On Our Backs was the seminal lesbian porn magazine first published by Deborah Sundahl and Myrna Elena. Nan Kinney became publisher not long after that first issue came out, and Susie Bright became editor.
Susie and Honey Lee shared that apartment back in the early days of OOB. Many of the magazine’s sexy shoots took place in it or nearby.
Susie’s piece is an amazing chronicle of the OOB shoots and that apartment on Bessie Street in San Francisco.
There are fabulous pictures in this piece. One in particular, The Voyeur shoot at the York Theater, with Susie, Honey Lee and Nan, brought a big smile to our faces. Nan’s hair!

<Snip>This Friday I am losing my long-standing home in San Francisco: 25A Bessie Street. My first books Herotica and Susie Sexpert’s Lesbian Sex World were written inside this little nest.
