Is scissoring for-real? Porn I’ve seen - and not just the by-men-for-men stuff - makes it seem super common, while a post I read on effingdykes made it sound super rare.
ok for real honestly i know what you’re saying, and i felt the same way for a long time, but actually scissoring isn’t only what you say it is. just imagine it sitting up? and get back to me.
Alex, Riese told me to ask you- How do you do semiformal w/out being super masculine or feminine but leaning a bit towards masculine? It’s for a dance party. I want to be able to dance with women in this. Last year I wore a dress and don’t want to again.
ANDROGYNOUS FORMALWEAR. Let’s talk about it!
I think this shit is a balancing act. Here’s how I go about it. Remember that everyone is different. Do your own thing:
1. You’re going to wear pants, but make sure they fit and aren’t baggy. Probably Gap is the way to go, they have good formal pants – I wear the skinny ones.
2. Wear your favorite blazer. Easy peazy. Or a cool black jacket. There are plenty in H&M I think yeah?
3. Perhaps a tied-up scarf instead of a tie? Like our good friend, Shane: http://images.askmen.com/galleries/actress/katherine-moennig/pictures/katherine-moennig-picture-1.jpg
4. The shirt I wear is usually a white button-down or something of this nature. Or a white v-neck. Or something like this. Slightly unbuttoned. I don’t believe in covering up my chestal plate/sternum. And tuck your shirt in probably. Wear a belt.
5. Shoes. I usually wear a closed toe super low-heel comfortable thing. It’s a tad bit sassy/feminine, but since the rest of me is mostly masculine, I wear a shoe that offsets it a little.
Think what would confuse people the most, and then wear that.
See what Rachel Bilson is doing here? http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3987/40_2008/Rachel-Bilson_0.preview.jpg
I googled “androgyny” and this is what I got.
the cover of this book inspired me to change my gmail name to “marie bernard” lest i appear to be hoarding all of the names or having too many names on everything i do forevermore. so basically this is an artifact, and also a fucking really amazing thing for you. and you should get it!
I ordered a poster before Thanksgiving and it hasn’t come yet… whats the shipping estimation on the posters?
Hey guys - Formspring might not be the best way to contact us about your store orders. More often than you think, things get lost in the mail and we’d be more than happy to check your order to see when (and if) it went out and when you can expect it.
You can drop a line to: autostraddle[at]gmail[dot]com or alex[at]autostraddle[dot]com if you’ve ordered something and it hasn’t arrived yet.
And as always - thanks for your support :)
So there’s this girl and this New Year’s party and they may appear together. Is it apropos to do something? Aren’t people supposed to kiss at midnight?
i believe you are supposed to be either kissing or drinking at midnight. if you have the option to be kissing, you should take advantage of it for the sake of all of us who are just drinking.
