VEER NYC Fashion Show Pics!

I came to New York last night for VEER NYC’s first fashion show of their  curated androgynous clothing collection at the Dalloway. It was almost worth the treck just for the dapper-as-fuck crowd! I didn’t get any good photos of the actual fashion show, but I enjoyed their creative and artsy take on androgynous styles. I’m so excited to see what happens next with them, and hoping it includes some plus sized models. Their collection includes items from AndrogynyVerameatKollar ClothingClaudia LigariRiykaMörkna, and Sloane & Tate

OK CUTIE PICS TIME:

I found an AQ (Adorable Queer) in my favorite J.Crew Boy’s sweater.

Of course, an amazing 48 hours in NYC with all the DQ’s needed to get balanced out by getting gender harassed by an employee when I tried to use the women’s bathroom in the Apple Store. But Apple, I forgive you, because you then allowed me to steal your internet for 2 hours AND charge my computer for the bus ride back. #Killinit

UPDATE 2/15: The profesh photos are up and look amazing!

Anonymous asked: Is it possible to submit a picture and have your username censored? I don't have pics of myself on my Tumblr page or linking to my tumblr page and I'd like to keep it that way, but I'd like to thank you guys for teaching my how to do a queer pomp for NYE :)

Sure! Just ask me to not include your Tumblr when you submit. Congrats on your NYE queer pomp! - Sonia

The Curly Haired Queer Pomp

Emmych asked: So I’m having a little trouble figuring out how to wear my hair — it’s super long and curly, but no matter what I do to it, it looks way too “straight”! What are some cute, femme looks for long hair that still look trendy and queer that could also start to drift towards the boyish and androgynous side?

I decided to consult with my friend JoJo, who has struggled over what to do with her curly femme hair since age 7. She says: Yay for long curly hair! I have long wavy hair and have encountered this very problem. My favorite solution: the faux hawk pompadour. It’s relatively easy to do, and you’ll look like a queer rock star.

Comb the sides up and back, then clip or bobby pin the whole pile of hair into a messy bun. (Use product on the sides if necessary. I know — curly hair doesn’t like combs, but you need to get the sides flat. Don’t rubber band the bun; you want to be able to rework it one piece at a time.)

Once you have the basic structure, you can either loosen some of the front into a “bump” look, or you can go even edgier and let the curls fall forward like a nouveau 1950s greaser. Use bobby pins or tiny clips to secure everything once it’s in place, and voila. Queer long hair, femmeish, androgynous, and trendy.

And of course, no faux hawk pompadour photo collection would be complete without La Roux. Hers is a shorter version, but you get the idea:

The Queer Pomp in 3 Steps With I Dream of Dapper

Annoymous asked: I need a hairstyle that I can wear to my nan’s birthday dinner. It’s going to be quite fancy, so I need it to look nice, but I’m sick of only being able to do girly hairstyles. I have long hair, and I want to keep it that way, but I can’t find anything to do with it other than plaits, that don’t suit me at all, or buns, that don’t stay in my hair (it’s thick and wavy). I can’t find anything that isn’t too girly. Any ideas?

Our guest long hair guru, Bing of I Dream of Dapper, says:

Let me introduce “the queer pomp.” It’s simple, looks like it took hours, and is a classy sight.

1. Imagine having a wide mohawk and isolate all the hair that it would consist of.

2. Pull that hair back as if you’re going to put it into a small pony tail but twist it a few times (depending on how your hair parts, this could be either clockwise or counterclockwise. If done correctly you’ll notice a slight cresting wave effect and not just an awkward poof).

3. Push forward for height and pin it like crazy. Thick hair is hard to tame so don’t be shy with the bobby pins. The secret to getting buns to stay (I prefer messy buns) is to pull your hair into a secure pony tail first and use plenty of hair ties when styling your bun. If your pomp starts to deflate, simply grab your pomp and pull forward. Properly pinned pomps will perk right up!

Queer With Long Hair

Running the long-hair-dont-care-bowtie club is my LIFE CALLING. It is made up of really badass people with long hair who like other people with vaginas and other women-identifying folks. Hair makes no statement about your gender identity/etc.

However, I have a few tips:

1. Rock it. Love and take care of your hair. Don’t wash it too often. Don’t blow dry it. Don’t swim without a cap. 

2. Don’t force it into a ponytail all the time.  It wants to breath. Like a human. 

3. Try the poof. (See i-dream-of-dapper). How-to: pull hair back into half pony, get hair clip, place hair clip in hair. style accordingly. (warning: poofs can get huuuuuuuge! which is sexy.)

4. Try dying your hair, or shaving a portion, etc. 

5. Or just be bad-as-fuck! Seriously. Rock the long hair. I’ve mainly dated people with long hair, and I don’t think any of us would have been mistaken as straight after 2 minutes of personal interaction.

Mandy Working the Crowd at Drag Ball

My Alma Mater’s biggest event of the year after Safer Sex Weekend is Drag Ball. Whether as queens, kings, or gender fuck, all the students dress up and grind on each other in a sea of non-conformity. Here’s my friend Mandy, who made it through the highly selective process for the catwalk contest and was crowned drag king!! And guess what blazer she’s wearing. ANOTHER ONE LIKE MIMI’S. I mean seriously, I didn’t plan this. It just happened. The universe loves this blazer.

I love the colors in this outfit, in particular the matching gold and navy. Brings preppy to a whole new level. The Pompadour hairstyle is a pretty nice touch too.

  • Glasses: Wal-Mart
  • Hair: Style by (her friend) Geneva!
  • Tie: H&M, Mens
  • Shirt: Ralph Lauren, Men’s, Thrifted
  • Vest: Unknown, Thrifted
  • Jacket: Ralph Lauren, Men’s, Tailored. Bought at Marshall’s (Thanks, Mom!)
  • Pants: J. Crew, Waverly Chino
  • Belt: J Press, Surcingle, Thrifted
