Good afternoon, sassy readers. Keep it up, we dig you all. This week we had some more poetry. The opposite of LA Fashion Week, Autostraddle Pure Poetry week is the song that doesn’t end. During this week of the week, we had Jeffrey Mcdaniel, Dorothy Porter, and Sylvia Plath. In Musicland, we had a quick conversation with Hesta Prynn and Crystal talked about 2011’s most awaited albums. No one talks on the phone to anyone but their mom anymore because we’ve all got computers, especially Miss Tech Taylor who reviewed the iPad 2. Lots of gay shit happened on teevee and Riese made jokes and an excellent headline about it. If you’re going to Dinah Shore, don’t leave without reading our packing list or reading about Amber Elizabeth who plays football and is going to be there.
