Femmes Color!
June 13th, 2008 SassafrasYesterday I was so excited to rush home from work to discover that my copies of ‘The Femme Coloring Book’ had arrived safe and sound at my house! For those of you who have not yet heard of this fantastic project, it was edited by Caitlin Sweet and includes the drawings of femmes from all over. Each drawing celebrates or explores the femme identity of the artist. For example, my page in the book deals with the paradoxes of femme identity for me- “femme is baking cupcakes while discussing queer theory. It’s loud makeup and big tattoos. It is a trashy, sexy, and smart queer perversion of femininity!
