Lola And The Four Calling Byrds

An impulsive wish leads to pleasures Lola Reid never dreamed of. Merry Christmas to her, indeed! Lola Reid is known as being tough in a man’s world. She has a reputation that men couldn’t handle. A bunch of whiners, the lot of them! She may melt like sugar for a man, but he can’t just be ANY man. He has to EARN that luxury before she becomes sweet and submissive. She was a girl from Bedstuy, Brooklyn, grew up to be a powerful woman in a corner office. So, she wasn’t backing down for anyone. Too bad her family treats her like a cash cow and shows her so much disdain. From a brother who always calls her for cash to a family that berates her for not conforming to their way of thinking she’s already to be done with this year. She needs an escape and fast. Lola will not be spending yet another holiday avoiding her friends and family or with just her toys for company. Thanks to her awesome secretary and some quick planning she’s headed to the Catskills for some needed pampering. And when the New Year rolls in she would return to the city refreshed and ready to kick down more fragile male egos and conquer the world of investment finance. But the holidays have a surprise in store for her. After a wish, uttered right before heading to bed she wakes up to the hottest man she’s ever seen. And she’s seen some hot guys. What…The… Fuck. The explanation; he and his brothers are there to please her and fulfill her every fantasy. If this is a dream, Lola doesn’t need or want to wake up. This Christmas she is diving into sensual decadence headfirst.

February 10, 2014…an experiment began. With the creation of Four Fools Press, a few strange fellows decided to start producing crazy good stories and selling them on the Internet. Along the way we’ve grown, and so has our collective word counts. Now, we celebrate our Four Year Anniversary with the release of this volume: an anthology of everything that we’ve released over the past four years…and then some. We hope you enjoy.

The Lola film is a distinct subgenre of the woman's film in which woman's claim to pleasure is entertained without recourse to the figure of the femme fatale. Lola embodies a recognizable set of characteristics through which over time a select group of directors, actors, and audiences have responded in ways that do not succumb to the imperatives of gender. There are over thirty-five Lola films, starting with Marlene Dietrich in The Blue Angel: many are German, others are French, American, British, Italian, and Spanish, but her claim has also resonated in Argentina, China, Egypt, Mexico, Thailand, and the Philippines. Lola can be working class, lesbian, transgender, ethnic, suburban, or any combination. This book examines Lola as a specific and enduring aspect of the early twentieth-century "new woman": woman's forthright claim to pleasure on her own terms, liberated, if only as a cinematic fantasy, from the usual constraints of sex and gender.

This publication is the volume 3 of a series dealing with the culture and traditions of the Ibaloy of Upper Doacan (Itogon, Benguet, Philippines). It is available in Nabaloy and in English. Elders share their stories to a group of youngsters who ask them questions on a variety of topics such as animals, signs, death rituals and spirits. The book provides the verbatim accounts of these discussions recorded during a workshop that took place at the Senior-Citizen hall in 2018.
