Made ya look! Ellen Orleans, the Lambda Literary Award winning-author of The Butches of Madison County returns with an insightful and hilarious collection of essays that examine pressing and important questions such as this. She also tackles thorny issues such as the ex-girlfriend&#8217;s commitment ceremonies, practical polymory, and S&#038;M lite. With keen insight and flawless comic sensibility, Ellen Orleans recounts her encounters with the Lesbian Intervention squad as she attempts to keep a mismatched couple from moving in together, takes the queer GREs, chooses a Barbie for her nephew, marches topless in a pride parade for a whole 2 1\/2 blocks, and finally, finally earns her lesbian merit badge! For everyone who ever said that lesbians can&#8217;t laugh at themselves, crack the cover of The Inflatable Butch and you will realize that not only is a sense of humor alive and well among America&#8217;s lesbians, they may actually be laughing harder than you are!<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Check for it on:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/search?tag=lesbianfun-20&amp;index=books&amp;field-title=Ellen Orleans, The Inflatable Butch\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?q=The Inflatable Butch, Ellen Orleans&#038;qid=\">Goodreads<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=bks&#038;hl=en&#038;q=Ellen Orleans, The Inflatable Butch\">Google Books<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n .TFtable{\n  border-collapse:collapse; <\/p>\n<p> }\n .TFtable td{ \n  spacing:10px; border:#ffffff 5px solid; padding-right:20px<\/p>\n<p> }\n \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/\n .TFtable td:nth-child(2){\n  color: #0099ff;\n }\n<\/style>\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\n<tr>\n<td>ISBN<\/td>\n<td>9781555835699<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Genre<\/td>\n<td>Humor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Copyright Date<\/td>\n<td>2001<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publication Date<\/td>\n<td>01-Jul-01<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publisher<\/td>\n<td>Alyson Books<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Format<\/td>\n<td>Trade Paperback<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No. of Pages<\/td>\n<td>161<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>English<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rating<\/td>\n<td>NotRated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Subject<\/td>\n<td>Gay wit and humor; Lesbians &#8211; Humor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BookID<\/td>\n<td>5968<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ellen Orleans | The Inflatable Butch | Do you have gay fingers?
