the smell of Home Depot is cathartic

The thing that blew my mind about the episode last night was peppermint feeling that as a trans woman she wasn’t allowed to be trans AND a drag queen. Like it’s just so fucking crazy how this craft started by (black) trans women for trans women has been so dirtied and soiled to the point where the people it was made for feel excluded. this is why i get so annoyed when you rodeo clowns make these stupid ass “drag is transmisogynistic and is just men in wigs making fun of women” posts because this part of the same attitude that has been pushing trans women out of something WE started.
Except the “rodeo clowns” are usually trans women.
Pointing out how bad it’s gotten isn’t “feeding into the problem” it’s just making an observation …Go ahead get your lasso and water squirter flower you rodeo clown. i quite literally in the post talked about the transmisogny that pushes trans women away from drag and again drag itself isn’t transphobic as i literally said. Reducing drag queens “to men in wigs” is transphobic and that’s issue i have so i don’t understand why you added this dumb comment.
Of course it isn’tinherently transphobic, I’m just a trans woman who also feels disenfranchised from that community and uncomfortable with the current state of it because I’d like to be able to live my life without being read as a fucking stage performer.So again what does that have to do with me talking about black trans women and us being pushed out from something we started i’m confused. If you are mad at drag for you being read as a stage performer you are mad at the wrong fucking people. People who think all
trans women are drag queens are the same people who think drag queens are men in wigs so if you can’t make that connection in your pea brain as to why drag and drag queens at large aren’t responsible for whatever transphobia you go through then you need to eat some fish, get them omegas and get that brain workin. The issue is not drag it is transphobia.

Exploitation of Children in Fashion
Something that really frustrates me is that nobody seems to discuss the exploitation and furthermore, the sexualisation of children within the fashion industry enough. It is an actual law that those under the age of sixteen are not permitted to participate in modelling and this is just yet again another law that the fashion industry, much like the laws against real animal fur, freely bypasses simply because they can; simply because nobody gives a damn whether they comply with the law or not. This needs to change, and people need to start taking more notice.
This Haute Couture season, 14 year old model Sofia Mechetner walked the Christian Dior runway wearing nothing but a sheer, see-through dress which exposed her breasts. Not only that, but Raf Simons stated that the collection was based around the conceptual idea of a forbidden fruit which is sickening to think about when combing sensual, and provocative terminology to a 14 year old girl. In addition to this, just think how many people would have seen this young girls breasts that day given that in this day and age of Internet and technology, thousands would have been watching the Dior show on live stream.
Repeat after me: Young. Children. Do. Not. Know. What. They. Want!
When we’re pre-pubescent newly-turned teenagers it’s a fact that we don’t know exactly what we want in life: University, college, what subjects we’ll take, and all while juggling and developing our gender and sexual identities. It’s a time in our lives when we become the people that we want to become. However our naivety and child-like personalities blind us to danger. It excites us and that’s exactly what the promise of money, glamour, beautiful clothes and the promising idea of becoming the next IT girl does to young and impressionable children. Exciting to a 14 year old girl, but behind the Dior diamonds, there is far more darker side.
Living in 2015, the concept of nudity has came a long way over the past fifty odd years, and the nude body (especially the female nude body) is celebrated by most as empowering, and something that should be perceived as beautiful. Nudity should be something that should be seen as an art form, and that is exactly what the fashion industry has been suggesting and creating since the 1990’s and before: Models with their breasts exposed, men striding down the runways in their underpants, their abs glistening with baby oil! In the fashion dictionary, the word “taboo” does not exist. However, child nudity is illegal and a crime yet it seems that through nepotism, money, reputation and power, even the highest ranking within the industry can avoid the law.
Yet it is not just girls who are exploited in such a manner. Male models often get overlooked within the fashion industry. Although just turning 17, male model Serge Rigvava recently released two up close and personal shots which portrayed him sitting in his underwear and smoking, with a rather obvious looking bulge underneath the designer underwear. Whilst not entirely illegal because of his age, having a 17 year old posing in a provocative fashion for the world to see is certainly a risky move.
It provokes the underlying questions: why is the fashion industry so strangely obsessed with youth? What is so attractive about children wearing adults clothing? Many designers would tell you that using younger, child-like, baby faced models is to suit their overruling aesthetic of their collection. Despite this, I can’t help but speculate that there may be a dark obsession with combining children and fashion- an equation that I want no part of.
it genuinely baffles me when people say 80s fashion was ugly as if early 00s fashion wasn’t the greatest crime against humanity committed on historical record

all gestures of inclusivity within the realm of fashion art design media music etc etc by corporations or designers or houses or brands are all liberal chokeholds on our necks squeezing tighter and tighter with every demographic they lazily include and cover. i couldn’t care less about the demographics of fashion week castings or sephora ads at this point and it’s something i rly cared about for a long time but we have to stop letting corporations anchor our politics so much. fashion can choke ! art can choke . world is a fuck . 100,000 dead cops
we’re letting big industries maintain their privilege by seeming to represent the interests of minority groups. It lets us know that accepting the status quo means we are rewarded by the opportunity to have presence. It only works if we passively adhere to this logic
What is funny to me is that even though inclusivity has been trending for a while there is still an emphasis on pandering to the lowest common denominator for higher profit, instead of investment or research into real crisis relating to minority demographics. I’m truly tired of representation being “here is the archetype of someone you might identify with smiling to the camera, they’re happy with our product, and you will be too :)”. Emotional branding for profit really is the devil.
