“You can be a mess and still be a powerful Femme. We’re not going to cut down one another when we’re vulnerable.”
Self-Help Correspondent Genne discusses being the partner of someone with a bad drug addiction and how that taught her the importance of asking for help.
We debut the Femmes of Color Roundtable series, moderated by Fatshion and Beauty Correspondent, Tara Shuai.
“My experience of how my race, my fat and my femmeness intersect is that I think that people don’t expect fat East Asians. I feel like a bodily contradiction, simultaneously desexualized and hypersexualized.”
Bevin interviews Jenny Lowery, aka Pidgeon Von Tramp, Queer Fat Femme Burlesque performer with the Von Foxies of Seattle, writer and founding board member of the Bent Writing Institute.
