What's Up Our Skirt?
In 2023, Lali Safavi, Diane Pappafotis and Pamela Bausher created SkirtSoFlo, a magazine specifically for South Florida's LGBTQ women. Woman-owned and operated, our mission is to shine the spotlight on the contributions that our LGBTQ community makes to the arts, literature, music, food, business and life that we see all around us each day. We do this to connect and uplift our South Florida women's community, and to celebrate gay South Florida as a mecca for arts and culture, as well as sun and fun.
SkirtSoFlo has been a labor of love from its inception. We are a core group of volunteers who create, produce and distribute the magazine monthly, and offer it free to the public. Our support comes solely from advertisers' dollars and donations. We only ask that you support our advertisers as they support us and our community.

March/April 2025 Issue
Hello Skirt family!
We are just two months away from the very first Wilton Women's Week, a nine-day celebration of LGBTQIA+ women in South Florida, taking place right here in Wilton Manors! With all of the excitement in the air, we wanted to dedicate this issue to all of the people and organizations that have come together to produce this event. We have given them the floor to describe who they are , what they do, and how they will be taking part in this historic event.
Also, in homage to all those who have come before us, our managing editor Pamela Bausher, in collaboration with Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library, takes a look back at women's festivals of the past.
We hope you enjoy the issue and share!
We'd love to hear from you!
