OF COURSE SHE DOES – RELYING ON TALENT IS SO 20TH CENTURY: Janelle Monae wears vagina pants in new music video.  “No one takes me seriously,” lamented the feminist while dressed as a sexual organ.  (And for the love of heaven, will someone — anyone — teach these chicks* anatomy?  They’re embarrassing. What they’re wearing is the semblance of a vulva, not a vagina!  Are they so seriously stupid they define themselves for an organ  they misidentify?  It’s like going around saying you’re so important because you’re a painter while displaying a pen and pencil drawing as proof of your skill.)
*Chick in this case is a gender neutral term of derision.  I know several liberal males who are chickies.

FROM ALMA BOYKIN:  Strangely Familiar: A Familiar Tales Novella.

When a goth-gal gets a Familiar, everything changes.

Neither Jamie Macbeth nor Lelia Chan wanted Familiars. Now they have them, and Angus and Tay insist that their humans rise to the occasion. From inverted autos and giant cloven-hoof prints to attacking puzzle balls and the perils of shedding season, nothing’s quite the same once a Familiar saunters into the picture.

Especially when magic-workers start dying of unnatural causes. Or do they?
