A New Start
Today marks an end and a beginning. I have been writing this blog for about 6 months or so. I have been writing my column for almost 3 years. I realized that I need to streamline my life and my writing. This is mainly because I want to do more of the fun stuff and […]
Sexcom – a sexually educated comedy show Conversations with My Community
When I first learned that my friends Debbie Scheer and Shanna Katz were doing a show together all I could think of was – sign me up! Scheer is HILARIOUS! And Katz is what she likes to call “awkward funny”, with the main subject being queer sex, I know this will be a show not […]

Each challenge we face in life often brings up feelings of fear, pain, anguish, loss, anger, and so on. When we experience these feelings we must somehow find a way to move passed them — to learn the lessons necessary and continue forward. -Robyn Vie Carpenter Yes it’s true. I quoted myself.

Obsessions – Vol. 1 Rive USA

A Celebration of Diversity
Sunday night I watched the Miss America pageant for the first time in such a long time, I can’t even remember the last time I watched it. It went by faster than I remembered. It was also incredibly more diverse than I remembered. Don’t get me wrong, it was still predominantly your typical white, well […]
What it Means to be The Lesbian Socialite
“Hi, I’m Robyn Vie Carpenter, The Lesbian Socialite.” I actually found myself saying those exact words on more than one occasion during fashion week. It was so much fun! I loved watching people’s reactions when I said, les-bi-an. What was a bit disturbing was meeting other people using the word socialite in a clearly different […]
