Flashback: Madonna And Sandra Bernhard On Letterman

I'm totally on a Sandra Bernhard kick right now. Remember when she was all best friends with Madonna in the late '80s until they had a huge falling out, (reportedly over Madonna stealing Sandra's GF Ingrid Cesares, DYKE DRAMZ!)? Here is their infamous 1988 appearance on Letterman, where the two are wearing matching outfits, and Sandra talked about sleeping with both Madonna and Sean Penn.

ANTM: Marvita Is Our Favorite Lezebel

Doesn't it always feel like we're robbed when Tyra springs a recap episode on us? I was totally excited to see if Fatima got deported and which one of Lauren's fingers got chopped off, as was promised in last week's "coming up" teaser. But no dice. However, the good thing about ANTM clip shows is that they include unaired footage of the inanity in the house, giving us a better glimpse at the girls' real personalities — particularly Marvita, who is a lot more awesome than editing had previously made her out to be. If I were living with 12 hot male models I wanted to bone, I'd probably behave the same way Marvita did in the ANTM house: Wrestle as foreplay, feel them up by giving massages, and show them my vagina.

Harriet The Spy: Iconoclastic, American Lezebel Icon

NPR's "Morning Edition" ran a segment this morning on what a groundbreaking work of young adult fiction Harriet the Spy was when it debuted in 1964. According to NPR correspondent Neva Grant, heroine Harriet M. Welsch was considered controversial because "Harriet saw too much, said too much. She even had to see a psychiatrist." Some schools banned the book, explains Grant, and some critics hated it, but readers, especially those who felt that they were outside the mainstream, appreciated that Harriet loved herself, disheveled hair and all. (You can get some more Harriet love in last Friday's Fine Lines column). Readers like Kathleen Horning, now a librarian in Wisconsin, liked the fact that Harriet was a tomboy who, unlike many 50s and 60s heroines, didn't have to go through a girlified redemption by the end of the book. In fact, as Grant reports, like Harriet, Horning was a "tomboy who didn't want to reform." Later on, Horning realized she was a lesbian. More »
