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.

Hello Skirt family! It's festival season in South Florida, and we wanted to dedicate this issue to a few of our favorites. The OUTshine Film Festival is back in October, and we have the full women's program here for you!
If you're a book lover like we are, we have this year's selection of LGBTQ books and authors coming to the Miami Book Fair this November.
And with Wicked Manors around the corner, check out our exclusive interview with The Pride Center CEO, Robert Boo, as he takes us through all that goes into putting on this community extravaganza!
