An incredible artist named Alice wrote to me with an unusual and creative submission. I’m rather blown away. She made up some characters that she draws in actual clothes she’s been coveting/ checking out. One of her characters, named Ada, is into a lot of menswear and gender-nonconforming styles. She said she takes a lot of inspiration from Qwear for Ada’s outfits. I think this is such a beautiful way to explore fashion and gender without spending any money. Imagine if you could draw yourself in the clothes you wanted to wear, or if you could draw the haircut you’d be dreaming of before going for the plunge.

We’ve been getting so many questions about men’s Tanks; where to get them; how to deal with large armholes; what to do if people are making fun of you for being a virgin (wait… that’s not about fashion. Why is it in my inbox?)

Ashley rocking the tank undershirt (link)

Yes, men don’t mind exposing their boobs, so most of their tanks have larger armholes. The solution: Hanes or Fruit of the Loom undershirts. Available on Amazon. Boy’s tanks however, tend not to have large armholes… I don’t know why. So I like to wear them.

Here are some of my favorite tanks to help get you beat the heat:

AMBSN Clothing Popsicle Tank Top, available at Trucker Deluxe for $39.99

Company 81 Men’s Stripe Tank Top, available at Amazon for $24

Topman has a ton of tanks tops for all the small queers. Their smallest size XXS is even too small for me. Yellow Winner Vest, available at Topman for $32.

Tank with Wide Fluro Stripe, available at ASOS for $19.88.  (Free shipping both ways in the US + 10% off. Code: 10SALE)

Fly Society Stewardess Tank, available at PacSun for $24. (10% off $100 plus free shipping. Coupon code: PACSUN10)

Fine Jersey Unisex Tank Top, available at American Apparel for $17

Obey Font Heather Yellow Tank Top, available at Zumiez for $29.95

Other men’s and boy’s tank top brands I love that will have them in stores but not online are H&M, Old Navy, American Eagle, and Epic Threads (Macy’s Boys.)

Oh, and tell your friends that “virgin” is a heterosexist concept and it’s your body and you do what you want.

Hannah, from Newark, DE wrote in, “I’m going to an outdoor carnival tonight! I wanted to wear something bright, fun, and just a little tacky. I paired this yellow and grey wide horizontal striped tank top with a pair of red, white, and blue plaid boxers and, to bring it together, my new favorite shoes. They were a gift from my best friend and I love them to pieces!” 

I love this outfit. It’s bold and cute and just the perfect amount of pattern mixing! So impressed! Go babyqueers! And I don’t think it’s too tacky to rock any day of the week.

Anonymous asked: so I got men's tanktops and I was wondering what to wear underneath to hide my bra on the sides?

Hanes and Fruit of the Loom make great A-shirts. 

atypicaltuesdaynight-deactivate asked: I love tank tops but I rarely ever find good boyish looking tanks for women. And every time I go for a men's tank, the arm hole are huge and then you can see my bra. Any tips on where to get good tanks?

Epic Threads available at Macy’s Boys, Hanes (available at Target) in boys, and H&M Boys all have small arm holes. Hanes also make great undershirts and you can wear a white one under a tank top that has bigger arm holes, opening you up to the beauty of selections at PacSun, American Eagle, and Urban Outfitters. Check out how Ashley wears Urban Outfitters tanks with an undershirt here.

I’m currently in love with this tank, available at American Eagle here.

Anonymous asked: Best boxer briefs? I find that fruit of the loom can fit really loose. Hanes is good quality but sometimes can be a little to tight on my lady thighs. I've found that Gap is actually pretty comfortable and comes in a lot of colors. I'm interested in trying other brands to see what works best. Any suggestions?

I really like Diesel’s boxer briefs, but haven’t tried them. I bought American Apparel’s Cotton Spandex Jersey Boy Brief and the edge immediately started shredding; cute but not worth the money. I also own a pair of Ellen’s just for the novelty but they are not super comfortable.

Any other ideas?
