Liz Langley's Alice the Goon: Review: The Big Penis Book / Peacock Room Tonight!

Who is Alice the Goon?

Alice the Goon is Liz Langley's blog about sex, love, movies, traveling...you know...the good things in life.

Liz Langley's writing has appeared in Salon.com, Glamour, Industry, Bust and Destination Weddings and Honeymoons. She's been a columnsit for alternet.org, the Orlando Weekly, Toronto Sun and Orlando Sentinel. Most recently her work appeared in Best Sex Writing 2008 (Cleis Press) edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel.

And it all started with The Goon.

Alice the Goon was a character in the "Popeye," cartoons, a hulking weirdo in a midi-skirt and a flower pot hat. She loved Popeye and would chase after him, little hearts popping around her big dumb face. Popeye always ran away.

Well, everyone else loved her. "She was transgender before it was chic," said Paige Anderson, who co-founded the Orlando 'zine "Alice the Goon" with Liz in 1990, launching Liz's writing career. This blog is Liz's latest incarnation. "I'm not reliving the past....this isn't Whatever Happened to Baby Goon?" But it is a 21st century makeover for a beloved, ugly old friend.

Review: The Big Penis Book / Peacock Room Tonight!

Hi Everyone!

I'm so happy and so pleased to be in the Orlando Weekly again and can't think of anything better for a comeback assignment than a review of The Big Penis Book by Taschen Publishing.

Review: The Big Penis Book!

I had so much fun writing this that I want to share it with the world, so come see me at The Peacock Room
TONIGHT 6-13-08
I'll bring the book so you can see it - you'll want one, of course, and it should soon be available locally at Fairvilla Megastore.
This is not just about that, though - I'm so happy to be doing some work for the OWeekly again and can't think of a more fun assignment to have started with.
:)
