Gulzige Lesbische Uitgave
In June, we visited the Sonar Music Festival in Barcelona. Our principal reason for doing so was not just for the lezzer and faggy tomboy performers, but the GLU Music#1 showcase, hosted by Barcelona GLUster Silvia Prada. We were also there to see Hercules & Love Affair (whose Kim Ann Foxman graces our cover), Goldfrapp (whose show we missed because the timing clashed with our own party – sorry Lisa), plus Tara Delong, Tender Forever, Yo Majesty and sexy M.I.A. (who cancelled last minute, damnit!). Prior to the showcase we were welcomed by the aforementioned Silvia who treated us to a fabulous dinner at the
infamous Las Fernandez restaurant. We were in the fine company of GLU#5 covergirl Feral, dragster James Jeannette and curator deluxe Arakis. And we were up to no good! We not only loved the atmosphere of the restaurant but the food – and the fact that it was run by three sisters: hot! Silvia informed us that two of the three sisters (one who was the chef) were lesbian – and that the third had just had an affair with a woman. So, of course, that made the whole thing even more interesting... Then, when we played around with ideas for a theme for this issue of GLU, the relationship between food and lesbianism kept recurring – so we decided to take a bite at it. And whilst scouting for a lesbo chef to interview, it was clear we had already devoured the food of the prime candidate. So that’s how we found Kanki, the soft butch chef of Las Fernandez. In fact, we positively drooled at the thought of having a GLU stuffed full of edibles and continued toying with the idea of food, sex, recipes, aphrodisiacs and other related topics. It was a great journey! The icing on the cake, however, are the foodnotes. No pun intended. Bon appetit!
