A.M. Salt lives and writes in San Francisco. She misses hay mows and the flecks of black dirt that work their way into the pores on the backs of farmers’ necks. She’ll probably work a shit job till she dies, if her girlfriend (who is intruding here to tell FG readers that A is supremely handsome) doesn’t run her into the ground first. 

Miss April Miller fantasizes about being a kept woman. 

Barbarism, born to Alien rocker chicks from hell, is looking for redemption in all the wrong places. She is presiding Queen of the Max Airborne Fan Club and collects belly button lint in her very sparse free time, which she covets and longs for … 

Bear is a wildhearted gender-fucking butch girl and an example of what happens when one over educates a filthy mind. She would like to grateful­ly dedicate this to a certain rather talented Cat. 

Bertha likes being the Kitchen Slut because she loves hot dishes, feeding people and playing with knives. 

Betty Rose is a fat Missouri girl living in California. The only surfing she does is on the World Wide Web. She connected with her lover, a bi girl, through e-mail: bird@sfsu.edu.

Drew likes girls with big butts, small hands and wicked wits. She publishes The Servants’ Quarters, a pansexual zine devoted to erotic submission and is the co-founder of two internet mailing lists, “boychicks,” a list for butches and their admirers, and “kinky-girls,” which is just what it sounds like. She lives in Oakland, CA, where she works as a freelance writer and editor. 

Elana Dykewomon was an editor of Sinister Wisdom for 8 years, and encourages you to sup­port SW under the new editorship of Akiba Onada-Sikwoia.

Olivia Newton-John ain’t got nothin on Lanetta.

Laura “Floyd” Johnston believes she was left here as a newborn by aliens to observe and docu­ment certain Earth customs which her “people” find interesting. Until she is picked up and brought back to the planet of the cat-people, she is looking for a patroness-of-the-artist, so she can quit her day job and gain more “hands-on” experi­ence to relay to her progenitors. (In other words, she’s a GEEK!)

Marilyn Hollinger: I’m 33, femme, fat, an out lesbian for 11 years, a non-monogamous S/M top. My passions are women, sex, deep friendships, les­bians, being out, S/M play without hangups, butches (especially butch bottoms), being on-line, Star Trek, and designing usable computer soft­ware. I’m an unabashed control freak who can organize any group to do anything. 

Max is back in the world of the employed, saving money to publish new and interesting things.

Selena is invisible right now, so she can’t tell you who she is, what she looks like, or what she does. She could tell you what she thinks, though, if she had the time, which she doesn’t. 

Serafina is a student at UC Santa Cruz, a photog­rapher with a trigger-finger, and an avid FG fan. More than one of us has commented on her strik­ing beauty. 

Sondra Solo: By day, she battles Gap-wearing law school losers. By night, she’s doing stuff that would make them gasp.
