Scandal in the wind by KT Grant

  I was curious to read “Scandal in the wind” by KT Grant, because some time ago, I read a similar book: “Her most secret affair” by Jesalin Creswell, not because I wanted to compare them, but because I wanted to see the authors’ different view on a similar subject. “Her most secret affair” by Jesalin Creswell Publication Date:  June 26 th, 2015 “Scandal in the wind” by KT Grant Published November 4th 2011 by Ravenous Romance Although it was published later in 2015,  “Her most secret affair” by Jesalin Creswell was the one I read first and I was impressed by the rich language and metaphors used and also by the beautiful story and a small lack of turning points. I cannot certainly say it was inspired by “Scandal in the wind” by KT Grant, but hint it surely is, yet still I am in awe on how I can read two books by different authors on the almost same subject and be impressed and love both points of view and stories. I loved “Scandal in the wind” by KT Gra...

Snapshots 2018 lesbian movie ~ Three Women. Three Generations. Three lives will be forever changed It is based on a true story. It all begins with a simple film role. When a grandmother’s secret past collides with her granddaughter’s secret future and her daughter’s angry present, can the love of three generations be enough to accept decades of deceit The tagline for the movie “Snapshots” is “Three Women.

And yes, that is what the overall movie is about: three generations of women confronting, over the course of one weekend, the fallout of infidelity in marriage and pregnancy. However, the strength of the movie is not—unexpectedly—in using these two thematic threads to weave their destinies together and unite them as family, but rather the potential that lies in the main storyline: the romantic relationship between inexperienced, small town girl Rose and free-spirited, artistic Louise. The following revi...

Camp Belvidere (2016) –lesbian short film- starring Astrid Ovalles and Molly Way

  I have been watching lots of short films with lesbian content, yet none has touched me so much like "Camp Belvidere" with Astrid Ovalles and Molly Way. It’s the story line and the strength of the characters that attracts and their clash ignites the burning flame between them. Loved the fact that’s set in the 1950’s in a girls’ camp, we have so little books, movies or any written evidence with lesbian content of that period that I actually grab every piece I find, yet I write only of the relevant."Am I making you nervous?, Gin says." "Camp Belvidere" is the story of Gin (Astrid Ovalles) and Rose (Molly Way), who meet at the girls’ camp Belvidere. Gin is the camp’s nurse, she’s in her 30’s, a beautiful, lonesome woman who seems to hide a certain secret,  it also can be seen  that she read and traveled a lot. Following the road less taken of lesbianism during the 1940-1950’s, Gin seems sad and hopeless towards any romantic interest, somehow asleep in her fe...
