My goodness! An article in the East Standard, a newspaper headquartered in Kenya, follows up its reporting of Oprah's charitable opening of a girls' school in South Africa with dire warnings about rampant lesbianism in single-sex public schools.
Esther was transferred to a girl's only boarding school when in Class Four. It was while in Standard Six that one of her friends from a senior class started acting in a manner that suggested that something was not very straight. It started by mere "friendship notes." To Esther, it never occurred there was more to the notes than met the eye. She innocently welcomed these notes and was glad to have such a caring friend. The notes continued flowing but one more thing came along. "This girl, (let's call her Abyssinia) became very cuddly. "She would hug me too tightly and it only hit me later that she would press against my breasts real hard."
Grief, if that ain't hopper fodder, I don't know what is. [HT: Fleshbot!]


Oh, yeah. Who knew that Traci Lords released an album of passable studio dance tunes in 1995, complete with her amateur and limited vocalizations? Somehow, I think the review to which I've linked is just a little bit over the top.

Believe it or not, it's really not so bad an album. With today's post processing, they could have given her as good a chance as Britney or any of the other manufactured pop stars.

She has a bit of a Courtney Love cross Gwen Stefani voice, without as much range. Further, the background music was competent for mid 90s techno.

Actually, I'm listening to it right now - I had forgotten about this one... (Rhapsody is grand!)

Yup, 1000 Fires, with music provided by Juno Reactor.

Really? Cool! Oddly enough, that makes it much more interesting to me. Now that I've listened to it a second time with that in mind, I can hear early Juno all over the album, including a few signatures in "Good and Evil" that had me saying, "Gosh, I've never heard Juno use those riffs ever again!"

As a piece of Traci Lords arcana, it's not worth having. As Juno Reactor arcana, it's fascinating stuff.
