Here it is! <br /><br /><strong>M/M</strong><br /><ul><li><strong>Four More Years</strong> - conservative politician/liberal politician, super slashy feel (when I learned it was written & directed by a woman I realized that was probably a big factor in why I liked it so much)<br /><li><strong>Bear City</strong> - cub/glam bear, super sweet romcom<br /><li><strong>Plan B</strong> - straight guy / bi guy, fake-flirting-turned-real<br /></li></li></li></ul><br /><br /><strong>F/F</strong><br /><ul><li><strong>D.E.B.S</strong> - secret agent / international jewel thief, my favorite movie of all time!!<br /><li><strong>Leading Ladies</strong> - established dancer / newbie dancer, cute!<br /><li><strong>The Sleeping Beauty of East Finchley</strong> - friendly nurse / shy singer, uplifting<br /><li><strong>Bloomington</strong> - professor/student, nice slashy vibe and geeky subplot<br /><li><strong>Who's Afraid of Vagina Wolf?</strong> - filmmaker/camera woman, lots of art feels<br /><li><strong>Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same</strong> - shop clerk/space alien, fun mash-up of indie film & 50s sci-fi<br /></li></li></li></li></li></li></ul><br /><br /><strong>and more!</strong><br />(films that aren't rom-coms but aren't serious dramas either)<br /><ul><li><strong>Madame X</strong> - fantastic action flick featuring drag queen superheroes<br /><li><strong>Bite Marks</strong> - lo-fi vampire horror comedy featuring gay hitchhikers<br /><li><strong>The Baby Formula</strong> - fun premise! a lesbian couple try out an experimental technology to combine their genes but for reasons of plot they both end up pregnant at the same time!<br /><li><strong>Private Romeo</strong> - this is the angstiest one on the list (it's a Romeo & Juliet AU set in a military high school) but it's fantastic! and it's got a happy/hopeful ending so I'm including it anyway<br /><li><strong>Britney Baby One More Time</strong> - cross-dressing road trip shenanigans<br /><li><strong>Yes Nurse No Nurse</strong> - gorgeously camp remake of a children's show<br /><li><strong>Wu Yen</strong> - Hong Kong period comedy starring three female actresses as: the warrior princess, the emperor who loves her, and the gender-switching fairy spirit who tries to seduce them both! <br /></li></li></li></li></li></li></li></ul><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=nakedbee&ditemid=57078" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:264031:56577Call for Art!2014-01-17T01:25:46Z2014-01-17T01:25:46Zpublic0<img src="https://24.media.tumblr.com/ede62aae09d431071b48b441ae6cdff5/tumblr_mziug0n5ZE1si6vzco1_500.jpg"><br /><br />The Escapade Art Show wants YOU to submit something this year! Everybody's got a talent and this is a great way to share the joy! The art show has traditionally hosted some fabulous 2D art and I'd like that to continue! But also! I'd like to encourage an even broader definition of fan art! We're a talented group with a wide variety of interests - let's celebrate! <br /><br />Need some ideas?<br />* <strong>Are you a cook?</strong> Bake cookies in the shape of Thor's hammer! Make a booklet of recipes inspired by your favorite show!<br />* <strong>Are you a knitter?</strong> Fingerless gloves with the Teen Wolf triskele on them would be awesome! BBC Sherlock's blue-on-blue strip scarf would be lovely! A beanie hat with Daleks on it would be super cute!<br />* <strong>Do you have a bunch of random film & television magazines lying around?</strong> Make a collage celebrating your favorite actors! Decoupage a bunch of pics onto a cardboard box to make a super-cool keepsake box.<br />* <strong>Artistic abilities peaked in elementary school?</strong> Illustrate your OTP using macaroni and crayons! Crack - it's not just for fanfic anymore! <br />* <strong>Not interested in knick-knacks?</strong> Consider a performance art piece! With the new hotel it looks like there will be space for all sorts of shenanigans! Let's make this the most avant-garde of art shows!<br />* <strong>Entirely digital these days?</strong> Make a gif-set and we'll figure out a way to display it so everyone can bask in your genius! The art show wants to celebrate all kinds of art!<br />* <strong>Not willing to part with the fabulous thing you just made?</strong> That's OK! The art show welcomes art even if it's for display only. <br />* <strong>Not enough time before the con?</strong> Offer your services to make something for the highest bidder! Just give us a piece of paper describing what sort of commissions you're willing to offer (art, vid, gif, etc) and in what fandoms. Feel free to provide a link to your website or even a hard copy portfolio that we'll display to give people an idea of what you can do!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=nakedbee&ditemid=56577" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:264031:56409Escapade panels!2014-01-06T04:56:09Z2014-01-06T04:56:09Zpublic0<a href="http://www.escapadecon.net/"><img src="http://escapadecon.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/002kf01e-300x225.png"></a><br /><br />I finally got around to suggesting some panels for Escapade!

Leather Bar. - a thoughtful and experimental exploration of identity, sexuality, art, and perception; reminiscent of Exit Through the Gift Shop<br /></li><br /><li>Ian Harvie Superhero - ridiculously funny transman stand-up comedy concert film<br /></li></ul><br /><strong>Favorite Feature:</strong><br />Burning Blue - like Top Gun, but with more realistic and tragic gayness<br /><br /><strong>Favorite Short:</strong><br />The Man That Got Away - singing and dancing and tragedy, oh my!<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">( </b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://nakedbee.dreamwidth.org/54304.html#cutid1">All the movies!</a></b><b class="cut-close"> )</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=nakedbee&ditemid=54304" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:264031:54191The Importance of Being Earnest2013-05-22T05:24:00Z2013-05-22T05:24:00Zpublic0A friend I had lost touch with contacted me a few months ago with some questions about the <a href="http://rawbanana.org/">Earnest photo book</a>. He and his wife had been fellow members of a writer's group type thing where we all shared our creative projects. There was a novel, a murder mystery dinner, a children's book, the Earnest book, and other projects. It was super fun and provided critical motivation and guidance for the formative stages of the book. The questions were thought-provoking and I had a surprisingly good time reliving old memories and making up answers!<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">( </b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://nakedbee.dreamwidth.org/54191.html#cutid1">Answers below the cut ...</a></b><b class="cut-close"> )</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=nakedbee&ditemid=54191" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:264031:53862Escapade Art 20132013-05-01T06:26:33Z2013-05-01T06:27:42Zpublic4<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/naked_bee/8697131053/" title="thumbnail-Esc2013 by Naked Bee, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8254/8697131053_9228a83047.jpg" width="500" height="125" alt="thumbnail-Esc2013"></a><br /><br />Here's a picspam of various things I made for Escapade this year, including:<br />* Star Trek Enterprise miniskirt<br />* Black Butler-esque outfit<br />* Fun with Epoxy, various fandoms<br />* Stargate Atlantis ZPM, silicone edition<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">( </b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://nakedbee.dreamwidth.org/53862.html#cutid1">more pictures under the cut!</a></b><b class="cut-close"> )</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=nakedbee&ditemid=53862" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:264031:53736SGGK: Middle English version is complete!2013-03-29T03:16:34Z2013-03-29T03:16:34Zpublic2<a href="http://www.rawbanana.org/" title="Gawain books"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8506/8599643718_15469605cb_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Gawain books"></a><br /><br />I finished editing the images for the Sir Gawain and the Green Knight photobook! The English translation is far from finished, but the Middle English version is done. Whew! To be entirely accurate, I actually finished editing last February, figured out printing stuff in May and the book's been available on Lulu since July of last year, but I hadn't managed to get up the gumption to make an official announcement until now. I am such a procrastinator. I know this about myself, but sometimes it's surprising how easy it is. <br /><br />For that small handful of people who might actually want to own a copy, the book is available through <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/anna-kirkenhof/syr-gawaynthe-grene-kny3t/paperback/product-20148315.html">Lulu</a>!<br /><br />If you want to learn more about the project, the production diary can be found on my journal under the <a href="http://nakedbee.dreamwidth.org/tag/project_bravo">project_bravo</a> tag. Looking back at the first entry, it's hard to believe it's been 5 years since it started … time sure goes by fast! Thank you to everyone who helped with the project and also for being so patient as we continue to creep ever so slowly towards the final version.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=nakedbee&ditemid=53736" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:264031:53288Rec #382013-03-29T02:22:40Z2013-03-29T14:11:07Zpublic3Title:<strong><a href="http://archiveofourown.org/works/600697">Noah's Arkangel</a></strong><br />Author: abluestocking <br />Tags: Space Opera, Alternate Universe - Space, Alternate Universe - Mythology, Biblical Reinterpretation, Queer Themes, Misses Clause Challenge, Don't Have to Know Canon<br /><br />Noah's Ark! In space! That was enough to hook me, but the story had so many fabulous surprises in store beyond the set-up. I was expecting something cracky and instead it was profound and thoughtful and wide-ranging.
