If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I subscribe entirely to feminine menswear, and I think the difference is material. Her market is your boyfriend, not you.

Not in Fashion, though. There's no such thing as a woman wearing a men's suit marketed to women. Karlie Kloss in a pantsuit is wearing a very different pantsuit. Anyway, she's obviously modeling in the men's section, but is just as obviously not male.

FWIW, Wikipedia says that Andrej Pejic prefers female pronouns, so she's not a man modelling womenswear (which is what I had thought before) [link]

My final thought before going to bed (late!): There are women in the tenor section of my chorus, so the conductor does not say "The men sing X," he says, "The tenors and basses sing X." Just because they are in a typically men's section does not make them male.

Because books.

Nice, -t! But I want something a little chunkier. It's definitely an "I'll know it when I see it" thing.

Well, I picked these up at Marshall's, so maybe look there? You never know what they might have.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There is as the lettuce on the plate, or saying "Don't I look dashing in this Sean Jean if I cinch the belt tight and wear some Jimmy Choos." Crossing menswear over into women's styling isn't new.

I kinda hope Revenge goes full on Red Wedding for the wedding. I'm not really sure what that would mean in the context of the show, but I want it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I find the weirdest thing about a woman modelling men's clothing for men is that there's a news show out there that finds it news worthy. I'll bet she isn't even the first!

A year ago they were doing reports on the other way around (a couple guys), and I didn't see anyone mention this, so it seems it's not caught their attention much.

I have decided I'm on the tangerine diet. Every time I decide I want something, I'm going to have a tangerine first, and if I still want the first thing, that's fine. I have eaten an extra tangerine, and that's not a bad thing. Vitamins in an organic juice bag!

Oh, I need to find out if sweet potato fries are low gly...eta: maybe yes! They are far inferior to the wide wide world of the white potato fry, but it's friend and can be dipped into sweet sour catsup. Nummy.

Speaking of tagerines, I need to get back to my usual way of eating, which involves more tagerines and almonds, and less bread and baked good.
