Who are all these babes, anyway?
CONTRIBUTORS
Betty Rose Dudley: I’m a fat, working-class dyke from Missouri. When it comes to sex, I like vanilla, with a little topping 8-).
Cath Thompson: Bitch Goddess Extroardinaire. Single. catspinner@aol.com
Charlotte Cooper, 25, from London, England, reconvened the Fat Women’s Group in 1992 and has been an active participant ever since. She’s currently studying for a postgraduate degree where she’s exploring fat politics and she’s made a video: “Growing Up Fat 1983-1990.”
Dina Palivos is a virile Greek man trapped inside a beautiful femme’s body. She’s sharp, silly, and available for meaningless affairs.
Elizabeth Stark: Elizabeth hates short descriptions of who she is but will settle for raging anarcha-feminist femme dyke with a lust for words and butches. She is currently living in New York City and working on a novel.
Fish: Having already succeeded at scoring brownie points with (and guest appearances in the dreams of) several fat girls, Fish continues to woo us with her great drawings. She’s out of SF while we write this, but can sometimes be found about town with a nasty grin or girl.
Fu is a fat pussy/kitty slut who loves to be held down and scratched, especially with long fingernails. She is tongue maiden to her beloved Monkey and friend to anyone with a lap.

COLLECTIVE MEMBERS
Miss April Miller wrote Butch Baiting about experiences she had at the robust and rowdy Fat Dyke Dances in Oakland, CA. (And they say that fat girls don’t have any fun!)
Barbarism aka “Boot”: femme nerd who can usually be found slaving away at the pages of Fat Girl or writing smut or hanging out with her cat Malt or dreaming about insects and aliens and sex and can be reached via email at XXXXX@advanced.com.
Bertha: redhead, big tits, talented hands, Brooklyn.
Candida is a very nice girl, really.

Max Airborne is wanted in 49 states (and then some), and also goes by the names Hans and Dot. She resides with a cult of anarchist sluts who have adopted her last name and given themselves blue mohawks to worship one of her former incarnations.
Selena lives in Berkeley as a pagan leather-dyke craftswoman with purple hair and-on happy days-a big, purple butt to match.
Oso is a Chicana stone butch into hot femmes and tattoos. Love my kitty!*
