Congratulations Sensei Fukuda!
This news made me squeal like David Tennant being offered cake – last week Sensei Keiko Fukuda became the first ever woman to earn a 10th degree black belt in judo.
Friday Hoydens: Saffire – The Uppity Blues Women
Saffire was an acoustic trio of uppity blues women who performed together for 25 years from 1984-2009.
Friday Hoyden: Kim Clijsters made of awesome
What if, every time a woman was called fat, she laughed?
So tweeted Margot Magowan to sum up the awesomeness that was Kim Clijsters this week.
Friday Hoyden: Y.T.
This is a repost: first published April 5, 2006 as Best. Hoyden. Evah. (before I’d got into the Friday Hoyden habit). I’m not sure I’d still call her best evah, but she definitely remains a SIKAW.
Y.T.
Skate-Kourier thrasher teen superbus. (***Spoiler Free***)
Friday Hoyden: Katharine Hepburn
This is a repost: first published March 30, 2006 as Hepburn and Mephistopheles (before I’d got into the Friday Hoyden habit). I’ve taken this opportunity to correct my original misspelling of her given name, and I’m very happy that the website I snarked on then still exists for you to … enjoy.

Friday Hoyden – The cracking Ruth Jones
She recently popped up on my radar again as one of the principal characters in the British hit comedy Gavin & Stacey (playing Stacey’s best friend Nessa), but it wasn’t until I researched her for this post that I realised she’s actually a co-writer/creator of the show.
Keiko Fukuda: Be Strong, Be Gentle, Be Beautiful
Olde-tyme Hoydenizens may remember that I wrote about Keiko Fukuda back in 2007, in the Friday Hoyden feature. Fukuda is probably the most knowledgeable and accomplished judoka alive, the last living student of Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo. Geekfeminism has an update on Fukuda Sensei, with a snippet of film from documentary “Be Strong, [...]
Friday Hoyden Quickhit: Abigail Sciuto (NCIS)
Played by Pauley Perette, the mischievous yet dedicated Abby Sciuto has geek cred off the charts.
Friday Hoyden: the Eleventh Doctor’s new companion
No spoilers apart from long announced casting decisions. I link at the end to an article with more spoilers, so don’t click on that if you wish to remain surprised next year. Anyway, allons-y!
