Actualizing narrative since 2009, or 1975 depending on how you look at it.

The Daily Beast

Okay, this is a very big deal.
My first story was published on The Daily Beast. I’d love it if you all went over there and read it. And commented too.
If you don’t know what The Daily Beast is, it’s a blog run by Tina Brown who was the editor for The New Yorker and Vanity [...]

I Blame Dooce

This weekend I’m identifying as lesbian. Without the having sex with women (or womyn) part. Though according to the magnificent Deb on the Rocks, there’s a campaign among the BlogHer lezzies to get a tongue in one of my orifices. Deb is so charming and kind and beautiful and wonderful and famouser than I am [...]

My Ikea Footprint

Okay you guys I had the black plague for five whole days. But I’m back and better than ever.
This morning @seeger posted a link to an article about Ikea. And how bad it is. I’ve not read this article because I’m a fragile flower and I care about the world and I don’t want to [...]

I Got a T-shirt!

That’s my exciting news. I got a free t-shirt from Swan Day and I bought some peonies. I got two for one because they were officially buy two get one free and RSG and I bought two and she handed me the free one. Because she’s nice like that.
I had another post all planned and [...]

Pineappe juice is satan’s serum

I declare, for the whole Internet, that I, Melissa Lion, will never again consume pineapple juice.
As of today, the 23rd day of March, 2009, pineapple juice will move from its current category in my life — never think about it– to its new home — only with a knife to my Frye boots and my [...]

My Lezzie A Game

As you all know, I’m a friend to lezzies everywhere and in an effort to meet and befriend as many of my lezzie sisters as possible, I agreed to go lezzie dancing with RSG and her wife, HG, on Saturday night. Under one condition: we could NOT go to the Egyptian Room. Because a trip [...]

Pie Off

A quick post about the pie off. I did not win. So sad. However there were 49 pies entered and my apple pie got one of the three judges’ votes and that made me very happy. I tried my apple pie, which is not actually my apple pie but a recipe by V (who has [...]

Oh, It Is On

On our walk last night, Steve said, “You seem distracted.” And I said, “Well, I’m THINKING ABOUT PIE, NOW BACK OFF.”
I had pie dreams last night. Dreams about fruit splatter and burnt crusts. The Pie Off is on my mind, people.
I know mediaChick is making pie after pie.
Betsy Richter just bought vodka for her pie, [...]

Giving The People What They Want

Because my blogging fingers are sore, I wanted to address my three readers’ suggestions in video format.
But first, I have been given a shout out on a very cool sex toy website. They also make real lezzie pron. I watched the free bit of some of the videos and wow. Those are real lezzies going [...]

Give the People What They Want

I’ve had some really great search terms that people used to find this blog. What was that sentence? It’s early, what can I say. Anyway, it seems like most people are searching for Melissa Lion when they hit this blog. I get a lot of hits that way, but it’s the same people over and [...]
