Oh hey, it’s Saturday! That usually means the Autostraddle editors take a break to eat breakfast foods, sleep, and gather their sanity. Howevs, this time it means comment awards! We kind of forgot yesterday was Friday because it’s been one of those weeks, you know? But it’s also been a week of great articles and even better comments!
We brought you a new hot human gallery filled with transmen, genderqueers, and studs. In audio/visual aids, Taylor and Kelsey were their cute, indistinguishable selves at Pax East 2010, and Kelsey and Riese talked about Autostraddle’s top 5 weird Dinah moments. Corey brought you an interview with Bitch, and you told us the movies you loved in the Top Ten ’90s movies most beloved by girls who turned out to be gay.
Jess G gave you your weekly Audiostraddle fix, and Taylor had the hot hot tech fix. In Sadcity, Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels broke up, but the girls of the Big Gay Sketch Show were here to help you laugh through it. We also helped you celebrate spring, with Becky’s spring style post, and International Record Store Day, with tales of our first and last record store purchases.

The We Know The Feeling Award to Dina: This makes me happy in my pants. Well, other places too. But the pants come to mind first.

On Top Ten ’90s Movies Beloved by Girls Who Turned Out Gay:
I F*CKING LOVE MERMAIDS Award to Kate:
On NSFW Sexy Sunday: WTF Porn Awards, Lesbian Office Affairs, etc.:
This Is Not An Award Because Taylor Is a Writer, But I Just Wanted To Highlight Her Endearing Wit to taylor : “lesbians employ various and complex point valuation systems for sex.
i find assigning value to sex acts and exchanging said points in a barter-like exchange very satisfying. like ‘i went down on you tuesday and wednesday (2 pts+ 2 pts= 4 pts) so now you owe me like a good solid hour of fingerblasting (4 pts/hr).’
this system works very well for me though i suspect others have entirely different ideas about how to spend and accrue points.”
On Potential Justice Elena Kagan Supports Gay Rights, Has Short Hair. Ruh Roh:
The SPOTTED Award to Bren : “Short hair, trimmed fingernails, collared shirt, drinking a diet Pepsi. She might as well be licking Hillary Clinton’s inner thigh. Everybody knows straight girls never drink diet drinks.”
The bcw Award For bcw to bcw : “did i hear someone request a comedy-protest-chant coodinator? say no more!
