Polyester Doll, Heathen Queen |
This is a personal blog, which is full of my favorite random things, including my own artwork (which is clearly noted ) but mostly things I love! I am currently obsessed with metal and pop music, castles, Pagan symbols, childhood feelings, pastel gore, and fairy tales. I have a lifetime love affair with horror movies, glitter, and queer fabulousness . |

Notes
When we talk about androgynous fashion, we usually mean female-presenting people in outfits that incorporate or echo menswear. One seldom sees male-presenting people doing the same with womenswear, at least in the mainstream.
I think some of that must be a side effect of the privileging of traits, roles, and characteristics associated with masculinity over those associated with femininity—a woman in masculine-associated roles or clothing is moving in the direction of higher status and increased social privilege, at least implicitly; a man in feminine-associated roles or clothing, lower. We associate women in menswear with freedom and assertion; men in womenswear with deviation, grotesquerie, and parody.
How fucked up is that?
Good commentary, and FUCKING EXCELLENT OUTFIT.
