	NF003		Queer 13 Clifford Chase SGD25.70 It's probably a healthy sign that the autobiographical essays collected in Queer 13 display not only relief and anger, but nostalgia. Most of the contributors, including well-known writers like Wayne Kostenbaum (The Queen's Throat) and Rebecca Brown (The Terrible Girls), have overcome the stigma felt in junior high. Looking back, they recall moments of pure, unthreatened pleasure. There is a shared aura of sadness, and other commonalities that emerge about growing up and being gay.
	NF004 SPECIAL BUY!!		Gay Old Girls Zsa Zsa Gershick ~~SGD25.50~~ now SGD22.70 This collection of nine life stories can be seen as part of the larger project instituted by Joan Nestle and others to gather an oral history of lesbian life in America in the 20th century. Describing the difficulties of finding community--let alone lovers--when there were no safe, established meeting places for gay people, many of the women interviewed ended up marrying men as a cover or to make their lives easier, while some married before they realized they were lesbian. Their need for secrecy and their joy in finding each other kept them happy together for many years, yet there are stories in which the women never found lasting love, or grew so discouraged that they stopped trying. They offer an essential glimpse of a dark past and spur on the struggle for civil rights.
	NF005 SPECIAL BUY!!		The Girls Next Door: Into the Heart of Lesbian America Lindsy Van Gelder, Pamela Robin Brandt ~~SGD25.50~~ now SGD23.00 Long misperceived as a separatist coven, a default option, or a sort of ladies' auxiliary to the gay men's movement, lesbian life has achieved a new visibility in the past few years. Drawing on more than a hundred interviews with women around the country, and on their own keen wits and eyes, the authors have composed an unprecedented portrait of how gay women today -- "born" and "made," lipsticked and flannel-shirted alike -- think, feel, love, and live. The book provides points of entry into an exploration of lesbian identity, social dynamics, and politics that's as entertaining as it is revealing. The result is a kaleidoscopic portrait that will resonate with lesbians themselves and reveal to their "neighbours" a world of unsuspected vibrancy and depth.

	NF012		Thing of Beauty: The Tragedy of Supermodel Gia Stephen M.Fried; Jane Rosenman SGD25.10 Trashy celebrity bios are usually diminished by the fact that we've already heard the stories about Lonnie and Burt, or Madonna and Sean, or whoever the current target is. Author Stephen Fried manages to get all the sleaze value plus a lot of surprises by choosing supermodel Gia Carangi as his topic. Although her face is widely recognized, Gia finished her modeling career in a blaze of heroin and disease just before the time when models became celebrities with name recognition. Her life is the perfect fodder for the exploitation market, but Fried goes beyond that with fluid prose and a reporter's nose for tracking down sources. His stories about her teenage years, with their mix of late nights in Philadelphia's gay clubs, manic worship, and glam-style imitation of David Bowie, as well as tales of Gia's ability to seduce her friends, male and female, are the product of a lot of work and make for very interesting reading. Gia's unabashed homosexuality and early death from AIDS make her story a palimpsest of life on the edge in the America of the 1980s.
