Tigger Bounces 

Every Woman has Her Role Models:

They Catch Me When I've Lost My Bounce or When I've Bounced Too High

    Fictional Role Model: Xena!

    Xena has helped me define some urges and images I have that the ordinary world doesn't allow. She made me realize what "my type" is: the tough femme.

    Xena Links:

  • Whoosh! The Journal of the International Association of Xena Studies. Essays, articles, commentaries, and various (some funny, some side-splitting) analyses of the television show Xena: Warrior Princess.

    Another Fictional Role Model: Hothead Paisan!

    Hothead was too intense for me when I first started reading the comic (by Diane DiMassa) at age 19, but after years upon years of standing at the magazine rack reading her adventures, I found myself clinging to images and lessons I learned (or re-learned) through Hothead. It particularly helps to magically make a bullseye (like a dart board) appear on the back of the guy on the street who just started calling you nasty things for not responding to his leering commentary. "Whatsamatta honey?" (Bullseye.) Trust me, it helps me stay sane.

    Thank you DiMassa:
