Wanda Houte wasn’t always a doctor. And she wasn’t always Wanda Houte.

Submissions Due: 02/09/2026
Suave, pugnacious… absolutely clueless it’s the year of our lord 2026. You see, Foxy was a part of the second Blaxploitation renaissance. Not the time immemorial one of the 70s… but the largely unknown, and straight-to-VHS distribution of the 90s. So, he’s been holed up in a dirt-cheap lease for a d... [See More]
