Info Pimp

"Libraries are brothels for the mind. Which means that librarians are the madams, greeting punters, understanding their strange tastes and needs, and pimping their books." Guy Browning (The Guardian column, www.guardian.co.uk 18 October 2003)

Femme-o-rama

I saw this a while ago and then forgot about it. Looks interesting.
http://www.femme2006.com/

A conference by, for and about femmes.
Here's their Femme ally statement:

"Our femme allies stand beside us in support of our endeavors to be known, seen, respected and acknowledged; You know that we have always been a force in our community, you know that as femmes we have made our own journies, fought our own battles, and always had your backs. You want to remind us of our value in the community when we grow weary because some see us merely as ornaments or trophies. You are not afraid of our femininity or our feminism or our need to be visible in our own right. You resonate with our power and know that it compliments and supports your own."


I'd be interested to hear how it goes.
I won't be heading over there - I'm not really the travelling kind - and plus, imagine the wardrobes crises I'd have each day!
