After you're done shoveling the billion feet of snow we received this weekend, listen to the sweet, all-female snowy Sunday soundtrack Dana made and then head on over to Mighty Swell, a big ol' vintage pop-up shop that HPT and a ton of other vintage vendors are putting on today in Northeast Minneapolis.

TV Party With Girl Germs: My So-Called Life! Monday, December 13th

Stay sharp, Germs! The latest installment of TV Party with Girl Germs is coming up next Monday, December 13th at the Red Stag Supperclub.
Up next we’ll be screening episodes of the much-loved mid-nineties teen classic My So-Called Life, a drama penned by Winnie Holzman and starring a young Claire Danes.

Fans remember My So-Called Life’s refreshingly honest and insightful portrayal of American teenagedom. The show captures the awkwardness of growing up with painful accuracy- the heartaches, friendships and conflicts feel credible and immediate. Characters like Rayanne, Ricky, Jordan Catelano,
Angela's parents Patty and Graham Chase, and even desperately nerdy neighbor Brian Krakow prove memorable and delightful. Holzman’s position as creator, armed with several female writers, helped to spur the invention of some of the most believable women on TV.

Come celebrate My So-Called Life with your best buds and fellow Girl Germs fans! We’ll be screening episodes from 9 pm onward. The Red Stag’s happy hour specials begin at 10 pm, with $3 domestics, $4 select taps, $4 select cocktails, $4 Crispin Ciders and $3 house wine, plus the happy hour menu (and kids, that truffled kettle corn is nothing short of magic.) Parking is widely available and free!

We hope to see you on Monday. Episode requests are encouraged! Email us, post on the wall of our Facebook event page or comment on this blog post.

TV Party with Girl Germs is sponsored by Radio K and The Onion.

November's Honorary Lady: Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter from 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'

The “Honorary Lady” is a monthly feature we do on Girl Germs in an effort to discuss the boundaries that come attached to a radio show devoted to female artists. We wish to challenge what it means to be a girl or lady, and to recognize that artists who fall outside of this gender definition do make huge contributions to the music and culture we celebrate on the show.

Yes, we realize that Dr. Frank-N-Furter is a fictional character. But actor/musician Tim Curry's depiction of the mad scientist proved (much like last month's HL, Seth Bogart) that you can challenge ideas of gender and sexuality that we as a culture take for granted while being hilarious. What's more, Curry did this in the '70s, when the idea of gender-bending transsexuals or transvestites (however sweet they might be) was still pretty taboo.


And come on...look at him. Dr, Frank-N-Furter, we at Girl Germs salute you!
