Oregonian politics sure are queer. In the run-up to local elections, newpaper Willamette Week sponsors an annual event called "Candidates Gone Wild," where city hall hopefuls - well, go wild. Homo-politico and Portland city commissioner Sam Adams made an appearance, as he's currently running for mayor. And, in addition to bringing all the fixings for a milkshake, Adams also brought along a leather and spandex clad Randy Leonard, also a commissioner. The results are, quite simply, astonishing. |

The quartet sprang from the mind of San Francisco-based author and literary curator Michelle Tea, who last year piled some pals into a van and toured the States to spread their poetic gospel. "Some pals" may be a bit dismissive, especially considering the quartet's all-star, all-lesbianic line-up. In addition to Tea, Sister Spit consists of author and short filmmaker Tara Jensen, author Rihannon Argo and the aforementioned Ms. Georges, a zinemaker and artist who specializes in furry, somewhat disquieting creatures. Georges and the gals reunite in NYC tonight for a one-off reunion and, in celebration of the event, Queerty correspondent Megan Metzger chatted with the pet portraitist about touring with the Sisters, why we should remember 'zines, picking her beastly subjects and the difference between East Coast and West Coast artists. |
