Hello Girls,
We now have 999 members in our facebook group. So close.... come on! Make it 1000. Go invite those lesbian friends of you who are not members of our group already.
And I'd like to give a big thank you to you girls for your participation in the CTL confessional. It is a space to confess secrets, and I have been recieving a lot of confessions. I just added the latest ones. Anyone can submit any secret, and you can now do it completely anonymously from a form on the website. Go check out this month's confessions http://bit.ly/13FKg3 - Cape Town is small enough that you probably personally know a handful of the people who sent these. I just love them. And I'm surprised at how many of these confessions I identify with. Keep sending more.
As for the events this week - I'm super excited about the Out in Africa film festival. I'm going to the opening of the festival tonight and am looking SO forward to that. Girls, don't miss out. It only happens once a year, and it is a truly enriching experience. Support it. Visit http://www.oia.co.za for more info.

We now have a brother group - Cape Town Queer Boys
Cape Town Lesbians is now over a year old. And I thought it was time that the boys got something similar. I have asked around, and couldn't really find anyone who wanted to run it. So I decided to start the boys group myself. Please let your gay friends know. Here is the link to the group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=128542928049&ref=ts (you can copy and paste this into messages/e-mails that you send this to your gay friends).

The Dykumentary
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=113893109897
"Out in Africa" Gay & Lesbian Festival.
Show Times @ The V&A Waterfront
CT:14 Sept. 2009 (8:30pm) & 16 Sept.2009 (6:15pm)
The dykumentary is a mockumentary based on lesbian Stereo types from A to Z, every letter in the alphabet is a character. It is totally fictional, over the top and based on the various social, economic and cultural circles of the lesbians in South Africa. It is shot documentary style with interviews off and on camera. Each Character is interviewed in their everyday environment, be it at work, their place of recreation, home or in their social life.
The characters are completely based on stereo types and by over exaggerating the characters we can laugh at ourselves. The Film is most definitely roaring entertainment for dykes, fags and breeders alike.
Be assured if the eye candy doesn’t leave you recklessly wet, the grim ones will seductively entertain your nightmares. Either way something or someone is going to have you screaming for more…
Feel free to celebrate with the directors at Kink on Tuesday the 15th September
