MIDDLE SEXES: REDEFINING HE AND SHE
PREMIERES ON HBO TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, at 9:30 PM

The latest documentary by award-winning filmmaker Antony Thomas While gender has traditionally been regarded as male or female in Western culture, many scientists and anthropologists believe the reality may be more fluid – gender may be better viewed as a
continuous series of possibilities, not a simple, clear-cut division between the two familiar sexes. Narrated by author Gore Vidal, MIDDLE SEXES: REDEFINING HE AND SHE explores the controversial subject of gender-blurring, as well as the problems that often face those who fall between male and female.

It is estimated that at birth more than one percent of babies may not fit neatly into the standard categories of male or female. Filmed in the United States, Europe, Asia, and South America, MIDDLE SEXES: REDEFINING HE AND SHE features interviews with transgendered individuals, transsexuals and intersexuals, as well as biologists, medical researchers, psychologists and other
experts, offering a broader, more inclusive definition of what constitutes “normal” gender and human sexuality than what has traditionally been accepted in the West. To Watch a Preview and Find More Information, visit www.hbo.com/docs
Written and Directed by Antony Thomas; Produced by Antony Thomas and Carleen Ling-an Hsu; Narrated by Gore Vidal;
Director of Photography: Jonathan Partridge; Editor: Mcdonald Brown; Sound Recordist: Simon Farmer; Composer:
Dimitri Tchamouroff. For Granada: Executive Producer: Liz McLeod. For HBO: Supervising Producer: Nancy Abraham;
Executive Producer: Sheila Nevins.

It is with sadness that I send out a prayer for miss Christina Marsh...if you have not heard already (and I've  not seen anything come
across non of my e-males)  Christina Marsh 47 passed away November 26th in Iowa. . Recently left Hawaii to be with her mother in Iowa where she could receive more rehabilitation therapy.  She apparently died of pneumonia.
 
There will be a service that friends are putting together for her Thursday December 15 if you need more information you can call the Life
Foundation or hit me back up.

Hope you all have a wonderful and productive day

ALoha everyone,
  Today is a very sad day, I have just learned that another sister has pass away and moved on to a better place. Our sister Christina Marsh ( Christy Love) has passed away earlier today. As most of you may know Christina had a  terrible accident earlier this year and was recovering and moved back home with her parents in Iowa. I just thought I let everyone know how hard it must be to loose a love one during this time of year. As we celebrate the holidays with our family, remember to cherish life and to always express to your love ones how much they mean to you, while you are here, because we never know how long we have here before return home to be with our lord father in heaven. I just want you all to know that I love you all and how much you all mean to me. Christina Marsh, I love you and though I will miss you, I know your in a better place, and I will see you when I return home, I Love you very much Christina, until we meet again sis.....MUAH
  Love & Aloha

My brothers and sisters, I'm finding out as we get older, the more we appreciate how nice it is to see old friends and knowing that everyone is doing well.

        To Connie and Company of Hula Girl Productions, a big Mahalo for a grand time.   My sisters and I had a nice time in
        Hawaii attending the Center's Auction and Fundraiser, "Night at the Glade".  If there is any thing I can help you with,
        please do not hesitate to give me a call.  Mahalo nui, once again.

Just returned to Las Vegas from Hawaii, it was nice to go back home again.  My love and Aloha and deepest sympathy to Richard on the passing of his 101 year old grandmother, a loving grandma who will always be remembered by me and all the friends that knew her. Aloha Nana, Aloha.

When I was home, I attended the "Night at the Glade".  It was so nice to see some of Hawaii's drag legends.  In 1970 I started work at the Glade. There I met Butch Ellis. After 35 years, we refreshed our memories of the good old times.  I saw Brandy Lee, Charmaine Lee Anderson, Monique Ocampo, Jessica St. Clair, Avon Fran and so many more. A lovely event and so many memories.
I would like to thank all the girls who helped (interviews) with the Glade Project.  A big Aloha to all of you for keeping those memories alive.

On Saturday, Raquel, Richard and I met to set the groundwork for Reunion 2007 Hawaii.  Knowing that a lot of people will have traveled a long way, we scheduled open days for people to spend time and entertain guests & family.  If any group or organization wants to host an event during the Reunion week, please don't hesitate to call Richard or Raquel to work with you in submitting a proposal for the official agenda.  This will be the biggest event yet!  I guaranty you will have a fabulous time. If you haven't started beading that gaff (or duck tape), let's get going.  Don't forget to save the feathers from your Thanksgiving turkey for a boa!  That natural look is in!  

I can't believe it is October already.  The weather has changed here in sin city -nights are in the 50's & days in the 80's and soon Santa Claus will be knocking on your panties asking to 'let him in'.  We will sing Auld Langzyne and welcome in 2006!

Sisters, my heart is beating with excitement.  There is still a little time left to pull that waist in, tits out and a little tuck behind the ears.  As I have said, "It is not how we look, it's friends coming together to see how we look"!!  So lets not be caught with our panties down around our feet -start planning your vacation trip now for June 11th-17th 2007 in Hawaii.
 
A big Mahalo to Shelley for covering the cost of the website for the past year -and buying the updated software. Also, Mahalo to Heather for her donation to support the Website.  This has become an important way that we keep in touch with each other.  Please consider supporting the Website by sending your donations to Shelley (using her mailing address) email a request for her address to:
shelley@islandgoddess.org. A little from a lot goes such a long way.

Well my sweet things, it is 8:00 in Las Vegas, it is dark and I'm going to wash and go to sleep.  With hopes for happy dreams and to all a good night.
Love, Isadora/Lindsey
