One of our wicked talented members (Artist Femme, I shall call her) designed us the following logo:<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ug2ZCjD4hkg/SioXDPP5nWI/AAAAAAAAAIE/4ceXrqPIuaU/s1600-h/femme_ATX-logo1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 154px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ug2ZCjD4hkg/SioXDPP5nWI/AAAAAAAAAIE/4ceXrqPIuaU/s200/femme_ATX-logo1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344109252228783458" /></a><br /><br />Which, well, my femme BFF and I totally want to get inked on our thighs. Artist Femme squealed with delight when we revealed our plans. I'm presently envisioning the shoe/knife image on my right thigh, perhaps with a garter going around my thigh, and also perhaps with "Femme Mafia" or "Fierce Femme" or something similar going on.<br /><br />But I digress.<br /><br />We had gotten together this evening to stencil shirts and other attire. I made a patch for my favorite tote, since I don't really wear t-shirts:<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ug2ZCjD4hkg/SioX8HJMf2I/AAAAAAAAAIM/gXNrOiIg-gI/s1600-h/New+Tattoo+035.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ug2ZCjD4hkg/SioX8HJMf2I/AAAAAAAAAIM/gXNrOiIg-gI/s320/New+Tattoo+035.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344110229305720674" /></a><br /><br />I'm thrilled, and especially thrilled to have something so visible and recognizable. Because yes, crafting with my femme posse is kind of the best thing ever, but I am truly loving this community that we are building, bit by bit.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8700303301675568778-1144706077331843175?l=misscherrypoppins.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cherry Poppinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09630597525760170687noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700303301675568778.post-21917674911713776192009-06-02T16:22:00.000-07:002009-06-02T16:36:03.758-07:00It seems I do nothing these days but think, process endlessly, and write about femme stuff. Perhaps I can collect these thoughts all in one place.<br /><br />I love googling "femme" or "femme identity" and discovering new blogs, new voices, new books, new everything coming out. The femme revolution - a femme I know said recently that it's finally starting. I couldn't agree more. And it sends tingles down my spine.<br /><br />The magic of femmes together: fucking unstoppable. One night early this spring, two incredible femmes I know both happened to be in town visiting, and the three of us had the good fortune of being able to spend a little time as a trio. We were rocking glam that night, all tattoos and tits, boots and blood red lips. And I remember telling the friend who was sharing my bed, later that night, "The three of us, tonight, it felt like that good part of high school. Like I wanted to shoplift. Wait, that sounds petty. But I had this urge to just - fuck shit up. I felt dangerous and, yes, unstoppable. Like the three of us together.. a girl gang."<br /><br />Or like this weekend, when some of my troupemates were producing this crazy huge drag (and other) performance showcase called Freakshow a Go Go. And there were a ton of femmes here. It felt like a mini Femme Conference. We had spontaneous femme pool party at my apartment building and lots of love and conversation and affection all weekend. I truly believe that if we all got to be together more than just a few days at a time, we would take over the world and solve everything. Just... magical. Explosive.
