FEMMES ON TOP.

for those who are, for those love them.

FEMMES ON TOP AND FEMMES ON THE BOTTOM .... to all the femmes I've known and who've loved and supported me unconditionally.

Us butches owe you.

In the words of our Joan - If the butch deconstructs gender, the femme constructs gender. She puts together her own special ingredients for what it is to be a woman an identity with which she can live and lovenot poses not stereotypes but a danceone beckoning the other into a full blaze of colour..."

Joan Nestle The Persistent Desire.

So thank you. We celebrate you.

Because whatever this year brings, we're all gonna need a femme on top, a femme on our side.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
