Dear Nan and Christi,<\/p>\n
I am curious about what happened to On Our Backs<\/a> Magazine. Is it still available? I haven’t been able to order it on their site or find it anywhere else. Thanks!<\/p>\n BTW, Fatale<\/a> Media is wonderful \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Thanks for doing what you do.<\/p>\n Sarah …………………………………..<\/p>\n Dear Sarah,<\/p>\n You\u2019re not alone in missing On Our Backs magazine<\/a>, \u201cEntertainment for the Adventurous Lesbian.\u201d Founded in 1984 by Nan and Deborah Sundahl, On Our Backs broke all the rules<\/strong>\u2014real lesbian porn for real lesbians. Fatale<\/a> got started not long after that, in 1985, and was intimately tied to On Our Backs until 1994, when the magazine was sold.<\/p>\n Susie Bright<\/strong>, On Our Backs\u2019 most visible editor (she was editor from 1984-1991), has written a fabulous tribute to the magazine, with lots of pictures from the original issues. Read it here: http:\/\/susiebright.blogs.com\/History_of_OOB.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n When it was last publishing magazines, H.A.F. Publishing owned both On Our Backs and Girlfriends, which H.A.F. sold to a place called Underground Networks in San Francisco. Nothing has changed on the site since 2006, when the sale completed. There have been no updates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We wrote and called Alice Hill<\/strong>, founder of Underground Networks and RealTechNews. It so happens she\u2019s also a fellow alumna of Christi\u2019s from Sarah Lawrence College. We want to know the status and plans<\/strong> for continuing On Our Backs. We haven\u2019t heard back from her yet, but stay tuned.<\/p>\n We also put in an e-mail to Heather Findlay<\/strong> at H.A.F. Publishing, to see if she still has back issues<\/strong> of On Our Backs for sale. If she does, we\u2019ll let you know.<\/p>\n Want to see what those \u201cadventurous lesbians\u201d were doing when they weren\u2019t posing for On Our Backs? Check out Pepper and Reeva in Hungry Hearts<\/a> and Pepper, Nina Harley and Miss Sharon Mitchell in Suburban Dykes<\/a>, still Fatale bestsellers. And romantic too!<\/p>\n Yours in good love and sex,<\/p>\n
