Ok so I was on the train the other day and I really couldn't help over hearing/eavesdropping on a couple standing near me. She was trying to figure out the word for 'dressing borderling like a man when you have female naughty bits' and he was struggling [and failing] to prove that he had an extensive vocabulary.
I watched their torture until I really couldn't take it anymore and so I breached all social decorum and blurted out 'ANDROGYNOUS'
There was a pause
Awkward laughter [from him]
Relieved laughter [from her]
Satisfied laughter [from me]
and then a silence which I filled by popping in my iPod earphones and resuming my role as a total stranger.
Anyhoo, that little back story was just a little explanation. The point is that I got to thinking about how some days, I REALLY cannot be bothered to be all 'I am woman, hear my cry' and on those rare frequent days, I embrace androgynism with both arms.
This is why...
Awesome no??
Love, peace and erm baggy dungarees??

Soo funny I stumbled onto this post - I saw androgynous woman or man [I still don't know] on the bus on my way to hospital last week.
I just couldnt fight out the sex, but he/she was beautiful. REALLY beautiful.
he/she was with a woman and he/she was pushing the pram w/ the baby. he/she was dressed as a man w/ short hair. But there were obviously lumps that signified breasts (after PLENTY breast examinations, I was confident enough they were breast and not man boobs). The face was beautiful, and the voice was definitely on the feminine side. However she had a strong Georgie (from Newacastle, UK) accent which did a good job at hiding the majority of the feminity in the voice.
ooo I struggled to figure it out. I couldnt "breach social decorum" and ask. Infact that would have been tooooo far.
But I'll never know.
and it sadden's me.
Anyhoooooooo - before my long rant.., great post!
LOL. But the thing is that I love you. I tend to rant when I type too. I strongly believe people with this trait are inherently awesome/just not really normal!!
feel free to follow if you likey :)
Great post!, I think that people sometimes get curious with things they cannot explain or don't quite understand, and that happens a lot in fashion!, this trend is actually a good example of society moving forward and not backwards.
lOVE the giselle photo!
