The Beauty of LGBTQ Femininity - Images and Videos

[Nat]

The "The Beauty of Female Masculinity ~ Images and Videos" thread has inspired me.

We are bombarded by images of cisgender straight female femininity through most commonly a hetero-centric lens. I would absolutely love to to explore the beauty of lgbtq femininity in images and video.

Nice!I like the vintage funky mix. I adore Sharon Bridgeforth, her creativity and warm spirit are a delight, sweet inspiration.

I'm an audio DIVA with lot's of other skills, if you all are ever looking for some creative collaboration, I live for the creative process.....

yummy-fun,

I would love to collaborate with you! What a compliment, thank you. Let's get in touch.

Do you know Sharon!? She will be reading in NYC later this month. I might read that night too.

In a take-off of Marilyn Monroe singing Happy Birthday to President Kennedy in the 1960s she is so beautiful and funnier than I have ever seen her.

I want to adopt Johnny as my younger Femme sister ;)

This vid, shot by a friend, last year during Johnny Weir's "Poker Face" skate in Sun Valley, ID, shows the American debut of the new costume he'd designed for the skate. The costume wasn't popular with many of his fans because it was so femme, but I loved it! I was sitting just behind Nicole during the show & my voice is just one of those you will hear cheering, hootin' & hollering in the background. The loudest voice is that of my friend Janelle. Johnny loves it when his fans whoop it up for him, so we always make sure to do so. In fact, if you look closely you can see him smile at us as he skates by.

After the show, I had the opportunity to talk with Johnny for a few minutes. I told him I loved his costume, as I kept fluffing those fab shoulder epaulets, discovering that they were constructed from very stiff lacy ribbon. I told him that all of us fans who'd watched the show really liked his costume. As soon as I said that, he took a step back & in one of the most girlie voices I'd ever heard come out of a Femme gay guy he asked me, "But, what do you think of my hot pink belt and rhinestone buckle? Are they pretty? Do you think they look pretty on me?"

OMG! I just started to giggle :giggle: because the question was so much like one I might ask! He is such a dear and his question was quite sincere. My answer to him was this, "Johnny, I really must tell you that you are simply one of the most gorgeous Two-Spirit persons I have ever met!"

He looked at me very intently when I said that, more so than usual. I mean he always looks one directly in the eye when conversing. But the look he gave me was searchingly intent, as if he was determining if I knew what I was talking about, and if I meant what I said. When he realized that yes I did know what I was talking about and yes I was sincere, tears came to his eyes as he thanked me. Then gave me a huge hug.

Sorry for my long windedness about this, but I just so truly love this fierce, beautiful and talented Femme man as a "sister in the life". I hope you enjoy the vid even though the quality isn't the best.

Just posting an update on Johnny Weir & my affectionate habit of referring to his beautiful self as my 'younger Femme sister". I went to see Johnny skate last weekend in Chicago. After the show, being a VIP ticket holder, I was able to attend the meet & greet reception. I've met & talked with Johnny before, so seeing him again & chatting for a few minutes was terrific.

I talked with him about how thrilled I've been to see him be so much more open with his fabulously gorgeous male Femme beauty over the past year.In a chat we had last September, we had talked a bit about my being a High Femme lesbian & his being Femme gay man, & about rocking Femme in general. My very brief conversation with him, Saturday, was kind of a continuation. I had a specific agenda on Saturday, though. So, I said this to him, "Johnny, I have come to so love & appreciate the ways in which you rock Femme, that I have taken to calling you my 'younger Femme sister', I hope that is okay with you".

His reply was a huge grin & a hug as he said, "Oh, yes! Please!"

So, now, I have been granted "official" permission, LOL. But for me, the bottom line is that Femme, in particular High Femme, is a Queer gender that is not just confined to those of us who are bio-female. In my view, beautiful Femme is beautiful Femme is beautiful Femme.......
