frequentlyfemme replied to your post: Queering the Text I don’t know. But I do wish we had better language for these kinds of relationships encompassing more genders and sexualities.

Queering the Text
So we all know a dozen terms for the “fag hag” (/fruit fly/fairy princess/etc.), i.e. the generally straight woman who hangs around with a gay man or gay men as his/their friend/cheerleader/ethnographer/tourist/etc. Is there a similar term for a gay man who wants to have the inverse of that with straight women - be their fan, paint their nails, gossip about their love lives, and...

itsdlevy: But let’s face it, now you have a taste of what my dash has been like for the last year or so as each of you has watched the show. Anyway, it occurs to me that this show fails the Bechdel test so hard it could practically be reshot without any women at all.

Which makes me wonder if anyone’s ever done a great lesbian version of Sherlock Holmes. Cagney and Lacey doesn’t count. ...

dpesick answered your question: TimeOut New York has done their semi-annual… He’s a DANCER! Dancing is one thing, but I’ve never seen bodies bend like that outside of comic books, and even then it’s generally only the women. :)

strictlyalright replied to your post: I am bored and needy. Anyone want to watch me eat… too late :( (if you’re as hot as your Tumblr av, I’d watch you do many things) That’s a real honest-to-goodness picture of me, and aren’t you sweet. :) For future reference, everybody can encircle me on Google Plus.
