they are as we are

there's been some heavy black and white happening. and i have to say i am looooving all the white. alexander wang, for example, did many of his pieces in both black and white versions and pretty much every time the white ones made me gasp and grin. snp wrote a piece on the white t-shirt recently, and about how it is dangerous and simple, begging to be made dirty. daring you to try and keep it clean. there is something in that that i really enjoy. (also, friend of the blorg nurse jake is in the accompanying video. so that's fun!)

some more

tonight has been great. we had a potluck. with roommate-sarah's school friends. they were delightful. the food was delicious. it was a total joy. and now i am drinking too-sweet-rosé and listening to kate bush and the dishwasher. (i wish that was a project she did... kate-bush-and-the-dishwasher... that would've been a solid band name...) sarah and friends have gone out to the law semi-formal. to dance. it is 12:12 and i just fixed the toilet, which was leaking from the tank. margene is sleeping on her blanket. i love hosting. i love being handy. i love my dog. i love this saturday.

and now i will show you some fashion because other things i love include blorgging and fashion. poor pauper-boys from the futurist production of oliver. and other future-space-theatre-costumes.

weeeooooo fashion weeks time! i know. y'all are saying 'does fashion never rest?!' no. it doesn't. it does a lot of coke and PARTIES ALLLLL NIGHT LONG! silly fashion. that's no way to live!

anyways. new york, yo.

here are some things i'm reeeeally into: suiting. lots of suiting. matching crazy-colour or pattern pant suits. white shirts in pretty much any form. anything that would make me look like donna from suits... cause that is my dream. being the most stylish kicking ass-ingest assistant there is.

you're in for a real treat this week! surprise! i'm in a real real good mood today. chipper cheerful. SO! that means a good-news positive-attitude feminist friday! you're all welcome.

this week is about saying 'hooooray! thanks!' to the men and boys who are NOT small minded, misogynistic, hateful, repressive. or:

*men who trust women

the above link is to a great little tumblr that chloe over at feministing started. it is men talking about why they believe that women's right to control their own bodies is a thing. and it is awesome. (also they're working on a documentary and you can give them money if you want...) it is easy - when you are all enraged by the things that are happening - to not give credit to the men and boys who are NOT awful.

as strongly as i feel about all this stuff, and as opinionated as i am, i hate to think that the gooood men in my life might think they are bad or that i think that they are bad. i am very blessed to have a lot of fantastically thoughtful, kind, progressive, considerate, articulate, passionate people around me who allow me to speak bravely and develop my ideas about the world. a lot of those people are men. and i think they're aces. and i'm grateful to them for using their voices. and for being a part of the movement. i'm glad that we can learn from and with each other. like i said. hoooray! thanks! good work.

so that's it for today! run free and pet a puppy or something. i have a million fashion shows to look at!!!
