Love / Shove post by Kelsey Wallace on December 19, 2008 - 3:39pm; tagged bitch, holiday cheer, subscribe.

Christmas cat!

Hey Bitch fans,

Are you still looking for a last-minute Christmas (or generalholiday) gift to give that special someone? How about a subscription toBitch? It's sure to please even the pickiest people on your giftlist. Just click on the winky drag king snowman (you don't read thatphrase everyday) in the upper right corner of the website, or click here to get started.

Another way to give the gift of Bitch is to send the subscription link on to those people who are still looking to put a gift under the tree for you! Why not email your Aunt Sally a link to Bitch and let her know what you'd really like for Christmas? No more fruitcake this year!

Also, don't forget that the latest issue of Bitch, Noir, is on newsstands now! Click on the "Latest Issue"link for a sneak peek. Makes a great stocking stuffer! (And don'tforget to get one for yourself too! You deserve it after all the hardwork you've done.)

This Friday, in an effort to promote thought about how to support women and movement (and/or sports/exercise) in a meaningful, fully inclusive, liberatory manner, I want to point to Maria Tallchief.

Power Pack: Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce 

OK, first things first. I love Beyonce. There is no point in me pretending otherwise. I think she is an amazing performer and I totally heart her catchy dance jams. But there is more to Beyonce than a solid hook and a hot ass, and it’s time we all took a moment to recognize.

Though her name may not make it onto a plaque in the Feminist Hall of Fame (OMG, wouldn’t it be fun if there was a Feminist Hall of Fame?), Beyonce injects a healthy dose of female empowerment into just about everything she touches. She is like a feminist King Midas (right down to the gold accessories). Sure, Beyonce's not perfect, but she explores and challenges gender politics in a way that we rarely see from Top 40 pop stars. To help make my point, I give you the Beyonce power pack. A collection of music videos, audio (including a gabfest-style podcast discussion on the topic), and links that will arm you with all of the information you need to answer the burning question, Is Beyonce a feminist icon in the making?

Some days you wake up to the right light coming through the window, that good song with the hand claps and the trombone in your head, and you don’t mind the slush at your feet or the hole (in the crotch) in your pants. Your coffee’s good and things just seem like they’re alright. And then you run into this….
