i don't give a crap if you don't like my hat, cause i look amazing...

In light of my recent internet obsessions, I think ISM needs an appreciation thread for all the amazing she-boys, shemales, hirs and furries out there.. I really like how the myth of the feminine ideal is exaggerated, redefined and often recreated by people whose gender expresses itself outside of their born identities.

This is an old favourite (not that you look old Chloe Sevigny!!!)

i do believe there have been new episodes added to the series if you are already familiar with Chloe's work.

Sydney and Darwin you missed out or already saw it, but rest of Australia (Melbourne this Saturday) you can see a lovely documentary on a real life Priscilla, Queen of the desert.

the melbourne screening so far is just hearsay, i have heard that it will be this saturday but haven't heard where...

if you can't make the screening for obvious geographical reasons, you can hear an interview with her here

"If you don't love yourself, how the HELL you gonna love someone else?"

Happy Birthday Momma RuPAUL!

Still rocking it today, Ru is responsible for this obsessive thread through his work as one of the first drag queen supermodels and the hilarious reality TV show, RuPaul's DragRace. You've seen him before (ever seen the B52's clip, loveshack?) but did you know he turned 52 on Saturday??? Happy Birthday RuPaul and thankyou for your message of sassy love...

You can read more about RuPaul's work and legacy here

Sorry it's taken me so long to post Artemesia, but YES! LATRICE ROYALE!

She's amazing.

I LOVE RuPaul's Drag Race, here's a few of my other favourites:

Manila Luzon

Sharon Needles (such a good name!)

Carmen Carrera (Amazing)

There are so many more, but I'll leave it at that for now.

P.s - I'm terrible at codes so I hope this post turned out right!

Dammit, I love it when I find out Australia is fairly progressive. We've got a Senator in Western Australia who is partnered with a trans-man! Yay!

So I was waiting for some real clever thoughts to form in my head before I put this one down. But it cannot wait. I reallly want to celebrate trans-men. They are gorgeous. Balian Buschbaum just broke the bank for me. Does anyone need fancy words to talk about someone so hot?
