My name is Sassafras Lowrey and this is the first of what will become a regular blog posting on Fridays here at The Femme Show. I’m a high femme author and artist living in New York City with my partner, princess dog, and two puddle cats. I wasn’t always a femme. I hid from my femininity for a long time, trying to be butch, trying to be an FTM; needless to say that didn’t work too well for me. I came out as femme several years ago, and this blog will be talking a lot about my observations about what it means to walk through the world as a femme, specifically surrounding issues of passing and invisibility. Additionally, in this blog I’ll be talking about the ways in which I conceive of femme-femininity as a gender transgressive, perversion of traditional femininity, and positioned outside of the gender binary.

The Femme Show website was redesigned to be a living, breathing, entity. Ideally we’d love to see this community grow through increased participation from you! So, we promised it and here we are: The Femme Show is currently seeking submissions from Guest Bloggers to contribute material to be posted on the Femme Show Blog.
Some topics we would like to explore in features include: femme identity and all genders, femme and feminism, intersections of misogyny and heterosexism with other oppressions, femmes and femme identities in history, perspectives on femme identity from people who partner with femmes. We’re happy to publish anything from in-depth essays to casual musings on every day life. Cross-postings are welcome.
As always, you do not need to be femme, female, queer or lesbian identified to participate. Submissions will be reviewed by The Femme Show staff and we will contact you if your submission is accepted. Article submissions, in full or in abstract, should be submitted to submissions [at] thefemmeshow.com.
