The Emmys

[rm]

The bit about Heidi Klum wearing a suit and then guys bitching that it was too much fabric and then ripping her out of it into something skimpier?

Blargh. Fills me with rage really.

Because:

a) she looked hot in boy clothes (and I am sick of a woman being in a suit being a "gimmick" because sometimes I want to wear a non-feminine suit and also not do the whole drag thing and I can't without getting an eye-roll and it's annoying).
b) the 'obligation' of a woman to wear skimpy clothes -- offensive.
c) the idea that clothes that are structured and covering can't be sexy? Argh argh argh. Sexier. Often. They create narrative and structured clothes mean less tyrany over our expectations of the body. I'm sick of flesh being expected to do the work tailors aren't anymore.

Grrrr.

It's definitely more of a "let's all do this" idea. We've all been talking a lot about menswear lately and think it would be a fun thing to do.

I beg forgiveness for managing to use the word "work" three times in the same bloody sentence. That's what happens when I don't have a sufficient amount of caffeine in my system. Dammit, my tea is cold.
