Such A Beautiful Woman! I Met Her At Coffee To The People In The Haight Street Autonomous Cultural Zone

Feb 15 2010
Isn't she a cutie! I was smitten on first sight. We talked about makeup and how powerful it is. I showed her my portfolio and we talked about fat activism, which was new to her. She was enthusiastic. She had a sweet yet powerful femme energy which shines through in her portrait

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.

A new Source

February 9
I am creating a portfolio, but a new kind of portfolio. I decided to
work with the new means of printing, the digital stream. I am even now
sifting through my older work and finding the pieces that I most want
to share with you. It is exciting for me. I get to do recursive art,
and reinterpret my work and create a new whole.
The source for my stream can be found at http://jaspergregory.posterous.com.
You can also follow it on any of your favorite social media.
Hang for a wild ride...
