A friend's blog

I just wanted to share a friend's blog (he's also Charlie's friend!): lipstickeater.blogspot.com. His name is Joon Lee, and he writes memoirs as a Korean American femme fag whose jaw-dropping knowledge and penchant for fashion makes me want to kick off my Nike Dunks-a-la-DeGeneres and throw on a pair of Jimmy Choos. Okay, well not really. But his writing is exquisite and offers a provocative untethering of feminity from whiteness, female biology and a heterosexual economy of desire/fantasy. If you click on the title of this blog entry ("A Friend's Blog"), you'll be redirected to a posting of his that I particularly enjoyed, but please peruse the rest of his site if you should so fancy. I'm already having fun in this class....

the wonderfully illogical coherence of femininity

don't we live it day by day?
