so, i confess that i find glittery glam-y radical faerie-like fag divas gorgeous in their fabulousness. sometimes even unto swoonage. every now and then i meet a queer sister (or, not so queer, even) who has got the same kinda luscious funky freakness goin' on. but it's difficult to label (in the sense of describe, not in the sense of identity :). why don't dykes merit glittery labels? how would one combine i was a teenage fairy with butch or andro or tomboy?
i just about popped the other day when this strawberries 'n' cream themed (queer?) girljock biked past me wearing a boa and matching arm warmers. are any other lesbians feelin' it?

Re: the dyke version of queeny glitter fabulous
Wed, October 25, 2006 - 10:50 AMi really appreciate drag kings, but they don't tend to do glam so much that i've seen. (but dear god, i love that boi who does the total high-school nerd-core with respirator, skating helmet and the like :). mayhap i'm in the wrong venues -

Re: the dyke version of queeny glitter fabulous
Wed, October 25, 2006 - 3:00 PMi think there's something really campy and fey about certain drag king performances. not the ones where they're lip synching to barry white, necessarily, but one time i saw this duet where one king was eminem and the other one was...some other musician (not elton john), and it was two women playing at two straight men playing gay... i got a little dizzy with that one. :) but yeah, perhaps not glam in the strictest sense of the term. ooh, somebody should do a drag king version of david bowie and marc bolan... -

Re: the dyke version of queeny glitter fabulous
Fri, October 27, 2006 - 12:33 PMI guess I'm sorta what you'd call butch - I'm a tractor-trailer driving, crew cut lesbian. But ... I have the most ... decadently decorated truck in history. Looks pretty much just like a French whore house. Silk rugs, satin drapes, velvet seat covers ... And I LOVE the drag queen stuff ... I agree, I'm jealous about the finery queens get. As far as I'm concerned I'm neither butch nor femme, just a sexy, kick-ass dyke who's been lustfully, wildly in love with her wife for 12 years. Lucky, huh? But I still don't really get why we feel such a need to ... label ourselves. I mean yeah, as a butch looking dyke I'm more out there and so advocating for us all in that way. But femme looking dykes are doing the same in their own way - imagine the punch when their coworkers discover this girly looking woman is a lesbian!!! Imagine the chagrin of the guys who try to hit on her ... -

Re: the dyke version of queeny glitter fabulous
Mon, November 6, 2006 - 8:08 AMwe feel such a need to label ourselves because labeling is the only way we can use words, and words are one of the languages of desire. of course all our our labels are frail, of course they are always imperfect and subject to reinterpretation. their use, and the delight in them is in the accretion of used, contested and endorsed meanings as we evolved and share language and its privileges.
_that_ said ;} a friend this weekend responded to an in-person version of my query about dykes and glitter by underlining the label "faerie." to much i slap my forehead and exclaim "duh!" :}
peace,
