Feminism is...
Tribal Bellydance... join the Twisterhood
Active: Sue is a tribal bellydancer who performs with a sword on her chin (now illegal in public, boo hiss). Bellydancing isn't all 'dance of the 7 veils' bare-chested sleaze... it's a historic and recently modernised art that encompasses tribal bellydance, gothic bellydance, cyberfusion and more.
Be brave. Get your undulations out for the lads (and lasses)...
Little bitta politics: The class system
Opinion: Ever since one person hit another over the head with a big stick and said 'I'm better than you', there's been a class system. Much as we may hate it, it's still around today. So, with what is going to become Missy Debs's usual emphasis on British history, here's a quick guide to class.

Body piercings - from the other side of the needle
Style: Body piercings are more than a chunk of metal stabbed into your body. Body piercing is an art form.

Excluding the ubiquitous ear piercing, let's look at the most common piercings...
Tank Girl: Armadillo!
Reviews: She's back! Join everybody's favourite beer-swilling, chain-smoking, kangaroo-luvvin' lunatic as she embarks on her first 'proper' literary excursion. Violence! Time travel! Midgets! Yes, tremble in fear at Tank Girl: The Novel!
Burgess and Maclean
MP3 of the week: Burgess and Maclean charmingly believe they make pop music which is very catchy while being enthusiastic. What they actually make is japanese female-fronted pop rock alternative new wave. We think they might be an unsigned band, because you only seem able to buy their albums online. They are VERY mysterious.
