djmrswhite's journal he posted a link to some take-the-A-list-concept-seriously gay guys and a photo of them wearing white doily pants. Click on the image to go directly to the article:
I suggested that this fabric could be used for those manskirt Utilikilt things.
The article is an interesting read because as much as you might be inclined to think these guys are fucktards, the writer of the article also thinks so and is snarky about it in a way that makes you realize that while they might not be people you'd want to hang with that they are actually OK people in terms of being partners and friends and members of a community and being of service to others. And then the writer comes to the realization that hey, maybe they're OK, and I'm thinking NO, YOU are the fucktard with your bad attitude and bad assumptions about other people just because they, as I said, seem to take the A-list concept seriously. But hey, they live in LA and Palm Springs and out there the A-list is perceived by many as the rightful expression of a meritocracy.
The point of this, though, is that there is a section that ties in with their philanthropy to take care of unwanted exotic animals:
"She lives in a tchotchke-packed bungalow on the property, where she lets a baby chimp roam around freely, though not today. She accompanies us around the WayStation in kitten heels, a glass of white wine in her hand, walking us past huge cage complexes that house tigers, lions, foxes, and bears -- all of them unwanted pets or rejects from zoos and labs. Most of them laze about."
"Kitten heels". What a great word. Similar to "snood" as a word that's just fun and frisky and fashion-related.elysesewell responded to my stating that with her vote for best name: "fascinator".
What was this? A weapon from a Philip K. Dick novel during his druggiest phase? A sex toy for pets? A traditional role from greek theatre, comedia dell'arte, or 80's female-jep movies of the week? In fact none of these. It's the vestigial remnant of a woman's hat for the situations and moods where they choose not to wear one. It's the stuff that would go on a hat but affixed directly to the head.
It can be over the top and remind one of the head-exploding scene from Scanners:
It can look like a nest fell out of a tree and was hit by a car:
It can look like an undersea creature of breathtaking delicacy:
I cannot think of a situation what wearing one of these would not be fierce (HOW I hate that that word has been ruined!)
It leaves the lumpy, drab "snood" in the dust:
Oh, and I found this, but don't know what to make of it. Such images confused me as a child.
