To compensate for the low update rate of this blog I opened a Tumblr one for more frequent sharing:
ff-lgbt.tumblr.com

There’s also a gay Tumblr:
gbfg.tumblr.com

Enjoy and follow — if you don’t have a Tumblr account already please do. There’s a huge community there.

Best wishes, I might be back.

After Patti & Robert — I didn’t recognise this one, but Freja and Christian definitely form an androgynous bond/bomb.

Just watched this film, was a bit disappointed as it focuses more on Wagstaff than the relationship between him and Mapplethorpe as the title might have suggested. Nonetheless, it’s a very meaningful documentary of the duo and Wagstaff’s artistic taste and curatorial practice as a collector. Whether you like art, photography, exhibitions or even Patti Smith, this should be a must-watch for you.

The whole film can be watched online.

Today is Spirit Day. Start wearing purple.

An important message from Ellen

The perfect androgynous face drew me to HerSpace, and the music didn’t disappoint — très bon, indeed. While I love all the posted tracks, Pink Safari is a really beautiful piece it’d be nice to have a music video. I wish there are more videos of her on YouTube. Fresh and elegant, seeing her move and speak just makes you like her more. This is Pamela Hute.

♦ ANDROPHILIA ♦ is my current favourite blog of male beauty (in fact, beauty in general; we shouldn’t put too many sexual tags on things, should we — beauty is beauty), after Homotography and male.. It contains exploding hawtness with a mix of arts and architecture; browse the archive for bigger spoonfuls.

This is why Lady Gaga has adorned this blog.

I am here to be a voice for my generation, not the generation of the senators who are voting, but for the youth of this country; the generation that is affected by this law, and whose children will be affected.

There is hardly any logical reason why dumbasses are allowed to serve the country while the more able are expelled just because of their orientation. These are the passionate individuals who want to serve you. They are your children, mother father America (homophobia is one of the many by-products of patriarchy).

Tasha loves Alice.

And don’t ever forget Jo Calderone.

Marc Jacobs is ultra-tasty, Juergen Teller’s photography represents taste. I have nothing bad to say about this brand.

The behind-the-scenes photos would make you swoon all over.

Jackson from La Roux talked about music and her androgynous image with Paper magazine.

I remember people saying, “One day you’ll wear high heels.” Well no, I fucking won’t. It’s such a cliché to say, but it’s just who I am. It’s never going to be a different way.

I must admit cross-dressed Jude Law was my reason for watching Rage, before I realised it was written and directed by Sally Potter who made Orlando. I watched and I was overwhelmed. By cracking through the plastered face of fashion we see absurdity, self-indulgence and exploitation. With excellent acting the film presents different sides of human nature in such a simple set, of which the treatment is discussed as one of its important aspects.

There are a lot of negative comments on IMDb on its flat narration and play-like pretentiousness, and the similarity with dull YouTube videos. On superficiality I personally find the stereotypes amusing. In a decontextualised setting like this, “authenticity” seems irrelevant — though, from one of the positive reviews that I agree with, the slightly over-dramatic performance actually makes the characters more real, since they come from the fashion industry (ha!). The resemblance to personal online broadcast is exactly the point of Rage and why it’s revolutionary in film that goes into cinema, while it still achieves a professional level in visual execution that differentiates it from amateur videos.

This introductory video on Potter helps understanding her influence and exploration of online media in traditional film. Check also the Dusty Wright interview and her website.

Watched All About Love 得閒炒飯 by Ann Hui tonight. Female sensitivity and humour always please you. The film’s quite direct in proposing alternative feminist ideas that carry academic weight; it manages to maintain its taste as popular culture.

Marginalising bisexuals by gays is no different from marginalising homosexuals by heterosexuals.

It is world-saving to make every husband truly please his wife (sexually).

Men do not suffer less than women in a patriarchal society.

Another cracker, LOLs within the first few pages. Don’t tell people I tell you the online-reading link. [Warning: male gaze heavy]

American Apparel is perhaps as notorious as Dov Charney himself, even the seemingly politically correct Legalize Gay campaign cannot escape criticism. I’m feeling guilty now cos the T-shirts look so juicy I’d love to own them. Too bad (good?) there’s no “nearest store” in my city. Forget it.

Sigurðardóttir is a married homosexual female prime minister, what could be more impossible. There’s something to love about Iceland besides its music, and a 67-year-old.

LOOK AT THAT. Buschbaum’d definitely turn gay men um…gay.

OMG is there an English version of her his book?

DON’T FORGET to check his galerie.

OH YES. Congratulations to his successful transformation.

Updated: I apologise for the confusion of possible offence, if any, for typing “her” then crossing it out. Please understand this was done mainly to emphasis and celebrate Buschbaum’s change; it was the time of the new identity, I could have written about the transition like a news report, or put a brief description of the book, but instead I condensed all the information and emotion into a typographical treatment mixed with the excitement of knowing of him and his transition. If anyone is offended by this expression, I’m sorry. But I understand the importance of addressing a transsexual person by the gender this person chooses, and I meant no different even in this entry.
