Prep

Was it sad, foreshadowing or just plain ironic that my mom bought me this for Christmas one year? Along with giving me pepper spray in my Christmas stocking, she would buy me items that, in her mind, would protect me or somehow make me a safer person in general. One year I got the pink tool kit, the next I opened a blow-your-tire-back-up-in-a-jiff generator that hooked up to a cigarette lighter. I sort of wish I still had that one.

Now how to sit her down and tell her that down the road, I'd identify as a femme who knows how to wield a few of those tools found in the pink tool kit?

UPDATE: I looked closely into the tool box and I can safely say I know how to wield ALL the tools.

Jenna Riot: what the eff?

YouTube randomosity:



Jenna Riot (check out "Girl You Look Expensive" by the way) is, uh, playing a butch, I guess? I have no idea what's going on in there, but a.) hot indie femmes abound (exception: one really effing confused looking butch-- raise that glass, son!) and b.) "you don't have to move in with me, you just have to go home with me" is my new favorite thing to say.



And it's a Jenna Riot single! It's like Slant 6 with corny electropop in the background! Man, I loved Slant 6 ...

Yeah ... gender?

Possible butch gender violation: I just got a t-shirt with writing on it in silver ... glitter.

It's not that kind of glitter, dammit. But it's sparkly enough that my housemate informed that it looks like a shirt from a low-rent strip club.

Thanks, I <3 Brooklyn Girls. I wanted to show off my appreciation for queer femmes, not actually become one of them by accident.

It'snotthatbad, it'snotthatbad. Whew.

Ohmygod, I just found my new wife

Er, maybe wives. Three words: queer femme calendar.

I've never made a purchase so fast in my life. I bought the 2007 calendar, the 2008 calendar, a t-shirt in the span of less than a minute. Also, Miss April 2007? I'm in fucking love!

I wonder how long it would take me to find a job in Brooklyn?

Also, it would appear that they held a launch party a few weeks ago. Holy shit.
