Like millions of other aspiring Magenta and Riff-Raffs the world over, I’m a Rocky Horror Picture Show fanatic. This camp extravaganza is my favourite guilty indulgence, and the cause of my lifelong love affair with sky-scraping platforms, corsetry, false eyelashes so enormous they could cause tornadoes with the slightest flutter, and needing only the slightest pretext to slap on ridiculous amounts of “flamboyant” make-up. (I also have...

While there are probably about a handful of people in the UK who are sitting down to watch the first installment of When Women Rule The World right at this very moment- I went through the pain of watching this about a week ago...

Vivienne Westwood has never been one to play by the rules, whether with her innovative designs, or more recently, her controversial manifesto. For her latest venture, the designer is set to release her first ever album, Catwalk Breakdown, this London Fashion Week, at an exclusive launch at London’s

The first time I met my ex-girlfriend’s mother she greeted me with a kind of patient bewilderment. Her until-now unquestioningly straight daughter appeared to have gone gay, and said daughter’s new girlfriend wasn’t the crop-haired butch she’d anticipated. In fact, I wasn’t even a full-time lady lover, as we quickly established over dinner (because we talked about it. Not because I demonstrated my fondness for men and women during dessert. That would have been both socially awkward a...

I'm currently absolutely in love with Emily Martin's artwork. Emily is a "full time artist/craftista" and is the artist behind the brilliant drawings and paintings from The Black Apple. You may have seen Emily making dolls with Martha Stewart or have oogl...

You know when a friend / boyfriend lends you a book that they absolutely love and you read it and you like

Tired of the same old academic books on feminism? Bored to death by your women's studies' reading list? Allyson Whipple is here to help...
In my college women's studies classes, I often found myself bored by the required reading. It seemed the feminist canon was incredibly small, because we read the same texts over and over. So I decided to develop my own list, with works that you have not necessarily read before. These books are presented in no particular ...

I've always been a big fan of Keira Knightley. I think she's a brilliant actress, she's gracious in interviews and you tend not to see her falling out of Camden clubs with a nose full of coke. So, why do other women hate her so much?
Is it because she's thin? Because she's actually touched James McAvoy and they ...

Loyal readers of BitchBuzz (which I’m sure includes almost all of you lovely ladies) might remember how much I developed a massive crush on renowned visual artist Del La Grace Volcano and queer theorist Ulrika Dahl after reading their current collaboration, Femmes of Power.

Alex Proud’s latest venture has BitchBuzz all a-jingling with happiness; the Proud Camden Gallery and Bar, sister to Proud Central in WC1 successfully combines a place to spend well earned beer tokens with an art gallery, live music stage and general coolness. In the heart of Amy Wino territory, thankfully the twat count is minimal, and the clientele seem fairly human bar the odd Doherty wanna be, but hey, it’s Camden.
