This morning Jasper is at The new Science Fiction coffeeshop in the Mission. He attempts to show us how to put on liquid eyeliner, and wishes you a happy BushReagan day. It is a beautiful President's Day in the San Francisco.

Happy Bush/Reagan Day! New Video Blog | Jasper Shows how not to put on Eyeliner
SF Fat Femme Drag | Gayboy Femmes Know how to Perform Femme. They're Not Hung Up on the concept "Real Woman"
Feb 13, 2009
I met this Femme Beauty on Haight street. She shows the art of Femme as drag. Like most crossdressing Femmes she is unequivocal about her sex. She is male, she is a boy, and yet her Femme Gender is seamless and overpowering. In contrast to the dominant paradigm among Male-To-Female Transsexuals, she can embrace Simone de Beuvoire's (sp) suggestion that you are not born woman you become woman. Paradoxically, she becomes real by not clinging to an idea of "Real Woman."
She achieved that I projected the social gender "Femme" on her. The projection of woman was strong, so that when we talked about her being a boy. My mind filed that as untrustworthy data that did not fit.

Male Born Femmes can take inspiration from both these Fag Femme Artists and (Fat) Femme Dykes. Take off the "Real Woman" straightjacket. Estrogen can't make you a "Real Woman" because there is no such thing. The social identity of Femme offers me freedom of gender exploration as well as social integration. I feel like my Femme Identity has become authentic and self nurturing because I gave up the quest for "woman" authenticity.
