Speaking of androgyny, I watched the season finale of Young Americans last night. Boone from LOST! Logan from Gilmore Girls! Orlando Bloom's ex! And, where the androgyny came in, the chick from The L Word was a cool guy.
There are two ways to consider androgyny, I guess -- possessing no distinguishing sexual characteristics, or possessing the characteristics of both genders. Tilda's kind of on the "none" side, I think -- she's not mannish, but she's missing feminine softness in her face. While I'd never mistake her for a man, I think she could pass as a boy, when young enough.
Mostly I think she's just funny looking.
I think she can definitely pull off androgyny, but I don't know that I'd ever mistake her for a man (as apparently happens to her with some regularity).
I'm sure the mistaken-for-a-man thing has as much to do with height as anything else. I've been called "sir" by people in stores who just glanced at my jeans and docs, and had an impression of my size.
If I can get mistaken for a guy with any regularity, I'd think Tilda is a bit of a target.
Mostly I guess the problem for me is her voice -- they cast her in these roles where she's supposed to look in-between, and I can see it if I squint, but then she speaks, and... no. Girl, girl, girl.
Not that I mind, because she's very pretty. Even in bizarre white chaps.
ita, that just takes me to the joy of cooking page. If you are cooking their lemon bars, though, yum. They have the best recipe I've found for the things.
Which is to say, we saw Constantine last night, and it wasn't that bad, despite the absurdity of Constantine having brown hair, wearing a black raincoat -- and being American.

But the list of all the desserts on the joy of baking site, right?
I'm not sure if I'll use their bar recipe. The Cook's Illustrated one is pretty good, and I'm not in an experimenting mood right yet.
I'm slowly going through my stuff, deciding what I either haven't used in a year or so¹, or haven't enjoyed using. Seems I like my stuff.
