I think it's just unfair to androgyny, in that anything "female" makes you read female? I don't understand why jeans and a t-shirt, along with neutral styling on the rest of them, wouldn't make a person androgynous, though.

I don't know. I saw a totally androgynous person on the subway recently, and I was mostly staring because they were so beautiful, but stopped because I was afraid they would think I was staring to try to figure out their gender.

Because women present like that all the time? And we still consider androgyny something exceptional?

I think, though, it's also that presence of breasts or hips makes any outfit look like women's clothing as well. Well, not me. But most women.Aside from wearing a tie, o one I know will think I'm dressed as a guy unless I bind my tits.

But "dressed as a guy" isn't androgyny either, is it? I think hair is a key signifier, aside from body shape.

I won favorite drink again with the sorrel (this time in a tie)

So, again? What did you win with last year??

I went to TWO recitals today. One much better than the other--my roommate takes an ice dancing class on Saturdays, and the rink had their semi-annual recital (OMG, tiny children in little skating outfits trying to remember routines!). And then this evening we went to the Pacific Northwest Ballet school recital--except while the first group was cute and like, 9-11 years old, the rest of them were very good (up through the pre-professional students, who are all going to be in ballet companies next year).

I made myself a Manhattan! At home! I feel all grown up and stuff.

I made myself a hot toddy.

Yum! I should have used less dry vermouth and more sweet, but it was still tasty

I want to go to a deviled eggs cocktails party. Preferably with Jesse as apparently she can make a mean drink.

So Franny got on a kick today that she wanted bright colored hair, so we went to pick up some Manic Panic and now she has lovely fuscia highlights, and Isaac--after throwing a fit that it was unfair for Franny to get haircolor--ended up choosing a lime green. Will take and post pics tomorrow.

It got used to buy a bunch of stuff in Chicago

You want I should hunt someone down?

This was said at work today: "Once we get the elephants on stage, we'll be focusing lights to them." Yep.

I can't decide if I want this shirt. [link]

How do you make an elephant hit its spike consistently?
