    If I Wasn't Vintage, I'd be...

    I love metal too! I'm pretty new to it, but I'm dating a fella who is teaching me lots and I'm loving it! Now that I think about it, I'd probably dress more psychobilly. When I'm feeling too lazy for vintage and don't have to go to work that day, that's usually how I look.

    If I Wasn't Vintage, I'd be...

    Punk! I am in my sensibilities, just not really how I dress. I've seen that How to Dance Goth site before and it's hilarious!

    When is overdressing acceptable?

    I tend to dress down, but still with a vintage/rockabilly vibe. I'm a student (art major, so I'm usually getting dirty) and have a job, so I need to be comfortable and wear clothes that can be washed easily. But when I do dress up, I tend to reserve the evening/cocktail dresses for night events...

    Weight of the world on my shoulders

    Why don't you try a gentle yoga class for beginners that focuses on stretching and healing injuries? I know in West LA there are a few places that take donations as payment, so I'm sure there are some in your area too. Just be sure to tell the instructor what's going on with your neck and don't...

    vintagey walking shoes

    I love, love, love these Keds and wear them everyday. However, they provide little to no support. I know you're against sneakers, and I've been against them most of my life too. However, I walk at least 3 miles a day, have flat feet and have had too many injuries just from walking in bad shoes...

    The Occult, are you a believer?

    I have a hard time answering this because although I identify as primarily agnostic with atheist leanings, I have always been intrigued by Paganism. As a young teenager I read a lot of about Wicca and various Pagan spiritualities and really liked their message of self-empowerment and the "magic"...

    Dishpan Hands....

    Hmm, I could probably sneak a pair from work, we have tons laying around! Thanks for the tip!

    Do you get comments when you DON'T dress vintage?

    I wear jeans everyday (hey, I'm either rolling around on the ground at work or in the sculpture lab these days), but usually pair it with a blouse or plaid shirt for the rockabilly look. I do my hair and make-up almost everyday too. But when I don't do my hair and wear a t-shirt and jeans I...

    Dishpan Hands....

    My hands are in TERRIBLE shape. I work a lot with paper (making boxes, wrappings, cases, etc. for books) and old books, so my hands get filthy in a matter of minutes. Which means I'm washing them with harsh public restroom soap at least once an hour. On top of that, I'm in sculpture right...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    That's what I was thinking. I don't see what the big deal is. If someone is polite enough to even acknowledge the fact that they might have done something to inconvenience you, etc. I don't care what they say! Then again, I rarely take such things personally and sometimes get a little...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    I acquired the habit of saying "sorry" instead of excuse me after living in the Netherlands for six months. Even though the majority of Dutch speak English, they will much sooner move out of the way if you say "soh-rry!" (I have no idea how to express the accent, but trust me, there is one)...

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    Wow. It's so nice that in the 21st century what could be productive discussions can be dismissed with just an emoticon. No words necessary! ;)

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    Thanks for clarifying, and I agree. Most transpeople I know would probably be quite offended by the term "shemale", if you want an answer. I don't even know what you are talking about here. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're basically saying you don't approve of the behaviors of...

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    I don't get it...? Last time I checked fear of or hatred towards another person because of their gender identity or presentation wasn't funny.

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    Thanks for saying that. Transphobia ain't cool.

    When does a gentleman fight back?

    The one major fight my ex-boyfriend got into that I felt was justified was when him and a group of friends were attacked by racist skinheads. That kind of violent racial hatred is something I feel many of us would feel very hard pressed to just let happen.

    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    That's definitely an interesting point. Judith Butler wrote that all gender presentation is "drag" in a sense, whether you were born a man and dress like the most butch dude on the block, or you're a man who dresses like a glamorous vixen -- it's both drag. It's not in our biology that...

    Elle's No Makeup Issue

    Cherry Lips, I think I'm in love with you! :) There are lots of things I am self-conscious about. The cellulite on my butt and thighs, my small chest, my skin without makeup. What do I do when I wake up next to someone special in the morning? Leave my shirt off, prance around in my underwear...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Clara, I love your hair!!! So I've finally gotten out of my slump and have started doing my hair again. Yup, I do it the same way every single time, I know, but still! Here's me before a date last weekend: Excuse the weird face:
