The Conscious Consumer

Ask me anything      What's the Word?   

The musings of a schizo twenty something year old who thinks himself a writer/poet/comedian/social commentator. Mixing Vanity with Philosophy, The High Brow with the Kitsch, and the Vintage with the Vogue.

Just as I was debating whether or not to do my presentation of women in the media on Sailor Moon, this pops on my dash!

I&#8217;m glad this episode didn&#8217;t just traumatize me but scores of other children!

ZOMGGUISESOCOOL!  Check out this gender neutral toy store that recently opened in London!  

Instead of separating the store into “stuff designed for girls” and “stuff designed for boys”, Harrods Toy Kingdom focuses on “stuff for children”.  Little Riley would be proud.

"I absolutely give all the credit to Ru for bringing drag back into our dialogue. At the Gay and Lesbian Center in a youth group, we had a conversation about this. Twenty years ago, the only drag queens we knew about were RuPaul and Sheneneh on Martin. This was the ’90s. Then there was this lull in the early 2000s where all the gay men wanted to be Abercrombie zombies. No one wanted to be the sissy. It was disgusting to be a sissy. We all wanted to go to the gym and get our polo collars popped up and our polo-f*cking-shorts. It got really boring. I remember going through the 2000s thinking, “Where are the f*cking sissies? Where are they at?” I spent most of my young adulthood embracing this idea and all the sudden they were gone. And in season one, Ru brought it all back. I’m so glad that people are now arguing and craving it, and there’s a dialogue. Ru brought it back. Queens have been around, but Ru got people to talk about them in their homes again."

This just hits home so fucking much when I was coming to terms with my various identities in middle school. The gap that existed between who I wanted to be and who I felt I had to be because of the presentation of gayness or queerness in the media at that time made my journey so fucking difficult until that first season of Drag Race and exploring my own sense of queerness and femininity.

The photo-realistic paintings of Doug Bloodworth  harken back to the inner child in all of us, reminding us of junk food, board games and of course, our beloved comic books.

"What they don’t understand about birthdays and what they never tell you is that when you’re eleven, you’re also ten, and nine, and eight, and seven, and six, and five, and four, and three, and two, and one. And when you wake up on your eleventh birthday you expect to feel eleven, but you don’t. You open your eyes and everything’s just like yesterday, only it’s today. And you don’t feel eleven at all. You feel like you’re still ten. And you are — underneath the year that makes you eleven.

Like some days you might say something stupid, and that’s the part of you that’s still ten. Or maybe some days you might need to sit on your mama’s lap because you’re scared, and that’s the part of you that’s five. And maybe one day when you’re all grown up maybe you will need to cry like if you’re three, and that’s okay. That’s what I tell Mama when she’s sad and needs to cry. Maybe she’s feeling three.

Because the way you grow old is kind of like an onion or like the rings inside a tree trunk or like my little wooden dolls that fit one inside the other, each year inside the next one. That’s how being eleven years old is."

Not surprising to say the Digimon fashionista was always my favorite.

I built a Question Block and hung it up outside. Seems like everybody knows what to do with one of these things.
