As for the subject matter, yes!!! The Gay Recluse is all about “post-gay,” which is exactly why we brought The Jessica Watch on board. (Plus we’re really kind of excited to hear about the whole sperm-bank thing! Like who’s she going to choose!?) We’re also interested in contrasting the miraculous (birth?) with the mundane (elevators), because we think it is more reflective of the dissonance we so often experience in our daily lives (and which is not always depicted in the most compelling ways.)

Susan and Joyce are my favorites. They have an outpatient office at Union Square. The space is nice, but the elevator is not special…
TGR– I’m sure this is just the kind of comment you are hoping for on your blog, right? Encouragements for women to go to midwives instead of OBs… But you opened the door by including this new correspondent!
