Gender Fuck Thursday

There is no one way to properly gender fuck. In fact, it’s the variation that makes it so terribly delicious. Who says you need to wear a tie? Or a jacket? Or even pants? Wait, I think I’m getting off track here. What it’s really all about is owning your look and looking damn good no matter what you’re wearing. Sure, we can’t all look as flawless as Katharine Hepburn in a full suit and hat. But these ladies sure do their part fucking with gender in their own special way.

Billie Piper in suspenders
Winona Ryder in a smoking jacket
Evan Rachel Wood in a uniform
Zhang Ziyi in an Annie Hall
Pink in a vest
Melanie Laurent in no jacket
Piper Perabo in no tie
Drew Barrymore in no shirt
Sofia Coppola in an untied tie
Julie Andrews in a neatly tied tie
Gemma Arterton in a tuxedo
Keeley Hawes & Rachael Stirling in full tux, tails & top hat

Ah, yes, variety is truly the spice of gender fuck.

Got tux?

So I can’t decide if this new Got Milk? ad featuring Glenn Close is really awesome or really scary. (’Cause, uh, is it just me or does she look kind of dead?) Still, I’m inclined to say awesome because girlfriend is filling out that tuxedo shirt like nobody’s business. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a woman in a suit. Particularly a tux. Particularly a well-tailored tux. All images of such are prone to cause sudden and acute weakening in the knee area. I think it’s safe to say there is sufficient empirical evidence to back up my claims. Just, make sure you’re sitting down before examining my research. I don’t want any lawsuits.
