Yesterday, I was walking home from work, listening to Athens Boys Choir and thinking how super awesome it would be one day to see him in concert. Imagine my surprise when I came home and saw an email in my inbox that he would be playing in Seattle next week – I almost exploded with the sheer squeefulness of it all. Everyone in the Seattle area should come!
Another thing that made me squee a bit this week was my discovery that Express now carries a men’s XS size. Other small-framed genderqueers probably understand my excitement; it’s very hard to find well-fitted men’s clothes when you are only 5’4 and 125 lbs (which is my case, anyways). Express is admittedly a bit expensive (I only buy from the discount bins), but they generally have good sales. Ditto for AE, one of the other few men’s stores that consistently stocks XS sizes. And when buying clothes online, always remember to check out sites like retailmenot, where you can always find discount codes!
Another exciting discovery was learning that Original Plumbing Magazine had released its first edition of OP tv, which gives a behind the scenes look into the lives of OP mag’s creators and the making of the magazine. Super cool! All in all, it’s been a exceptionally happy genderqueer week for me.
