wtf_sexism
Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)

Hello everyone!

My name is Kaname and I just joined here... I'm actually still very new to Matenrou Opera, but I read an interview with them and thought they're really fun. That made me read other interviews and check out the music... currently I'm very much in love with Tsuki no suna and I'm looking forward to trying out more songs! I also searched for an lj community and here I am... I mostly tend to stay quiet even in communities, I'm rather quiet in general, but I noticed that no one here seemed to be aware of the interview I'd read, so I thought to let you know.

It's here: http://www.bxte.info/English/VK/BXtE-Matenrou-Opera-Interview-with-Matenrou-Opera-Oct-2009.html and there's also an audio message linked to at the bottom of the page.

BXtE isn't very well known yet, I guess, what with them only covering X Japan at first, but they've been doing more VK bands now (Versailles' interview was first and I 'promoted' that one, too in a Versailels community ^^; guess I found myself a 'job' :P) and now it's Matenrou. I enjoyed the interview and the messages and I hope you will, too!

Anyway, thanx for reading, if you had the patience to, and see you around :)

Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.
