what's a boychik to wear?

[starfrosting]

So, I realized that Dyke March should be an opportunity for fabulosity, thanks in part to wookiepocket's post about getting dragged up as Betty Crocker for the stuff around her neck of the woods. Um, all I can come up with is fairy wings, which I don't have. So if anyone has a pair o' wings I can borrow (preferably gossamer, rather than fluff), let me know. Or if anyone is super crafty and can tell me how to make them, that would work too.

I worked 11 and a half hours today and I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Since I know that I won't and will likely stay up for hours on end, I made myself a wicked strong g+t to nurse. No one drinks that fucking old bottle of Tanqueray besides me, anyway.

Ayy, I need to get up and do another 12 hours in 10 hours. Blah. I'm gonna call my girlfriend, and dream of wonderful costumes for next weekend. Any aspiring-glam people should help me think up outfits.

if i were a certains someguy going to a dyke march, i would go as a playboy bunny. now isn't that an icon.

i have dragon wings!
they're just about the faggiest dragon wings ever, without being pink... they're shimmery fake-crushed-velvet neon green and safety orange.

also with relatively little trouble they could probably be made to be a gothy sort of gossamer faerie wing kinda thing... like based on the materials i have, they could be black glittery-and-covered-with-hearts gauze and neon-pink-with-little-flowers-gauze

well. i guess it's pretty much decided that one way or the other i'm gonna make a seriously queer-ass pair of wings.
whether you'll get to wear them, or whether they'll even make it to dyke march, remains to be seen

Oh, my god. Please B, may I please wear yr dragon wings??
My address at my parents' is:

Hint hint Hint.

If they don't make it to my temporary clutches I understand, but...

*PLOTZ*

And also, does this mean you sew? I suck at sewing so much. Let's do a skillshare sometime! I can teach you...um, I don't know, how are you at baking?

DYKES???

so i mentioned that option... bois dating bois... trouble. thats like C/K and Alex... no good, as you probably know.

oh and i think you should go as a serious queen. i'm talking femmey as all hell. just because i think dyke marches are times to expand yourself and your comfort level. plus, oliboi in drag would be way hot. take a picture for me!

Re: DYKES???

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like doing femme drag, but I've been so anxious around being read as a girl lately/not passing as a boy that I don't know. Hm. But aren't wings queeny enough??

Re: DYKES???

[yur-friend-liza.livejournal.com]

wings are faerie not queeny. but cute any way. good luck with that.

Re: DYKES???

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess you're right, but...well, logically, a non-queeny guy would not be very likely to wear wings, so ergo are they queeny?
Thanks for the well wishes, Liza ;)

coat hangers or wire pink or white or what ever colors tights yr little faggy fairy clad heart desires glitter and lots of it and soem imagination. i made michelle bitchin wings for the halloween party last year.

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

Fabulous! So it's easy with coat hangers, huh? How do you attach the fabric, with hot glue? I don't think I have hot glue. Man I am so bad at crafts. I am going to go buy lots of *~*glitter*~* tomorrow, whee!
ps-get yr ass over here!

[taxishoes.livejournal.com]

I have no suggestions, except: lots of glitter! And possibly body jewelry. You know, the sticky kind? Good luck. ;)

Queenspiration? . . . though I see you as more of a glitter queen than a straight up drag queen. Then again -- if you do really obviously, ridiculously over-the-top DRAG drag, not just femme drag, you may be more likely to pass. As a drag queen. This has worked for some people I know!

Re: ps

[orpheuskiss.livejournal.com]

that so worked for me way before i started passing as myself

Re: ps

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's worth a try.
I've got all the glitter and shit ready for the wings but I don't have the spatial concepts to know how to make them. Also I'm nervous about being perceived as a girl. Oh fuck it. It'll be fine, right?

Re: ps

[orpheuskiss.livejournal.com]

it'll be totally fine.

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

Body jewelry!?! And man, I had just decided not to get my tits pierced ;).
Now I'm wondering, if all my props are gonna be wings and dick, what the hell am I gonna wear?? And shoes? I can't wear boots with shorts...

(ps- thanks for the drag link. maybe I'll do false eyelashes, if I'm feeling like it. Last year I went topless and it was good. I don't know this year. Also I have a silly question for you which I will email. love, me.)

[orpheuskiss.livejournal.com]

dyke march... in nyc?

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

Yes, NYC. Are you gonna be there? It would be so fabulous to finally hang out with you.

[orpheuskiss.livejournal.com]

yup. gretchen is probably marching and i'll be the dude on the sidelines (also in glitter) cheering at the top of my lungs :) which reminds me that i want to call the other guys i know whose girlfriends are probably marching to see if we can get a tranny cheerleading squad going...

we should meet up!

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

We should. I'm marching (it's complicated) and hopefully I'll see you on the sides but either way my # is (267)614-6479.

[dreamofapriest.livejournal.com]
